I go exactly in your line of thinking. Basically, humans are animals that can think (sometimes it's good, sometimes not...). So for a specie to survive, it has to reproduce as much as it can, and this is WHY sex is fun and gives great pleasure. You imagine where humanity would be if sex was not fun?
The only reason why monogamy appeared is because of jaleous, unconfident males who could not accept that their mate go elsewhere and find more satisfaction in a relationship. So monogamy is no more than a social behavior, not genetic in our case. On the other hand, it COULD be possible that some genetics link two "animals" together, since according to some studies, 90 percent of birds are monogamous, while 7 percent of mammals are. (By the way, aren't we mammals?) It is still not proven that genetics has something to do with monogamy, since it is still considered a social evolution rather than something inherited.
Didn't RTFA, but maybe it's worth asking the questions; are they pointing to geographic or magnetic north pole? Then a better hypothesis could be formulated. And what about the cows at the equator? Where are they pointing? And those in the southern hemisphere?
I think that asking all those question could give a better overview; do the cows have magneto-sensitive ions in their brain like pigeons? Or do they only want to avoid the sun in their eyes?
Mmmm 2 years ago, a senior networking consultant could earn 50 000$, now it jumped to 80 000$ - 90 000$, which is pretty high here taking into account the low cost of living...
Well that's true for Quebec City, but in Montreal, being english-speaking only is not a major issue, and there are plenty of jobs over there too. But in western Canada (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta), which is english speaking, they also need a lot of people, just like in Ontario. Canada's economy is great, and IT staff gets paid accordingly. Just look at the link I posted to monster.ca...
If you are willing to learn french, which is just a little more complicated than english but shares many common characteristics, you can get a job in Quebec City, and profit from our booming economy.
Of course! And our chicks are hot and willing to give you a good time;-)
On a more historical basis, when our French ancestors first came to America, they needed women to perpetuate the human race on this new continent. So the king sent the "King's Daughters" (Les Filles du Roi). They stopped first in Quebec City, so we chose the beautiful women first. Then we were dumping the rest to Montreal. This explains why we have so much beautiful women here in Quebec City!
The Jobboom website is a great place to find an IT job in the province of Quebec, and Monster is great in the rest of Canada (if you don't want to learn french...).
And at Nurun, where I work, we're searching for senior consultants all the time!
Well I don't think it's still true. There have been governmental programs and help to eliminate it, and there's no more cancer cases per capita than anywhere in North America. The last time I heard about asbestos contamination in buildings was like in 1992, and it was because they were getting rid of it.
Nope. It seems like everyone making this joke here has been modded "Troll". I guess Bill Gates, being retired, has some spare time and has to use his mod points before they expire...
Here in Quebec City, they're searching for senior IT consultants everywhere! We need a lot of them for governmental projects, especially for MS infrastructure. The salary went skyrocketing in the past 2 or 3 years...
They're replacing Windows Server with Linux servers, thus reducing the necessity to always have an enormous team of somewhat competent IT guys taking care of the servers. Linux servers are like "boot and forget", while Windows servers are like "boot, and reboot, and reboot, and check the logs, and reboot, and check the filesystem, and reboot, and apply a patch, and reboot, and..."
I always said that Linux was not such a good thing for us after all!
Did you hear about the guy who stabbed a 22yo kid 40 times, cut his head off and showed it with pride to the other, horrified bus passengers? If it did happen in the US in a state that permits it, the guy would receive a simple injection and we'd be at peace. But since it happened in Manitoba, Canada, our laws will incarcerate this guy for a "life sentence", which means 25 years in prison with a possibility to be freed after 10 years upon good behavior.
I'd rather the option of the lethal injection in cases where it cannot be denied that someone commited murder. Life in prison is way too civilized in North America to make them really pay for their crime, adding the fact that they will make new "friends" who will help them with their future crimes... Another solution would be to send them to North Korean prisons, or Malaysian prisons.
Maybe for 12 million they could buy a single core switch and connect everybody to it... a lot of cable to lay, but that's worth trying, the Internet would be far less complicated. One ISP. One Core Switch. One Zettabyte per second. Amaaaaazing!

This is the most useless website I've seen in my life... How could I read the "Yes" if it happens???

And dont forget the KY to make sure the scientist's idea slips in easily... ;-)
Well, at least you would have the opinions of many instead of only to biaised scientists! Open source science, like the /. poll proposed?

I just wonder to what extent is that still true?

But again I know you were just trolling.
No, I was just *Joking*. Have a good day too! ;-)
Come on, dont you people recognize humor no more?
Nope. It seems like everyone making this joke here has been modded "Troll". I guess Bill Gates, being retired, has some spare time and has to use his mod points before they expire...
But if you spend too much time on /. at work, you may end reading Slashdot along with watching the job offers from home... ;-)
