Several crew members start hearing 'music' coming from inside the ship. Turns out this is the cue to restore their memories, that they are actually cylons programmed to be human. 4 of the missing 5 models are revealed. So there is still 1 model we haven't seen.
Personally, I think it was an exellent deus-ex-machina script twist. Now it will be cylons fighting cylons and humans.
You don't have to wait for a Journalist to tell you.
I work for IBM GSD. We heard about 'LEAN' in a meeting on Wednesday. We had to have a list of all the things we do in a week by Friday, and on Thursday 1/3 of the people I work with got the axe.
'LEAN' offically begins Monday, where we move from a proactive stance of dealing with the customer, to a more 'call centre' based system. No direct customer cummunication.
So, once they identify the 'chaff' in our weekly workload and push it off to somewhere else, they only thing they can't offshore is the 'hands and feet' kind of stuff.
See! There was a rift caused in the space-time continuium! The time between stories (5 days, 2 days) is slowly coming back into phase. It should appear again tomorrow, then in 6 hours be back in sync with the normal flow of time.
It's my understanding from previous articles that Winners and Homesense store Interac card #s and PINs (but Canadian Interac cards were not breached). What possible business reason is there to store PINs, and why are they storing card information at all?
Like any other company, they are when it suits their bottom line. I had my warranty denied on an HP Pavillion (death due to bubble on Nvidia chip) and they said they don't cover heat damage. Heat Damage? They didn't even investigate why it died! ust stamped the invoice 'Warranty Denied' and done deal.
So, because they pissed me off, I'm spending $4M for March Madness on racks of IBM i460's and MXE i460's, and SAN hardware. We are mostly an HP shop (500 HP Servers).
"I'm not sure I follow your point, please elaborate."
I'm saying that the US used the 'absence of evidence' verified 'they have something we don't know about' to justify their past military buildups, including 'Star Wars'/SDI. It is just ironic when the same logic is used on the US anti-sat program, as the article states "(as if the absence of evidence were transformed into evidence of presence)", the exact same stategy the US used against the Soviets.
The US taught the world that strategy, I guess the lesson was well taken.
"If the cold war is any lesson, the people with the most freedom create the best economic engine, and thus in turn the richest state, and then in turn again, the best weapons."
FTA:
"Well, there's no official acknowledgement of them--that proves they exist in secret" (as if the absence of evidence were transformed into evidence of presence).
If I recall, that the 'Russians' had weapons that weren't detectable nor acknowledged and that was the justification for many of the cold war ramp-ups in defence spending (because they must have found some way to hide them from detection). That should have been a major cold war lesson. Sucks when the same logic is applied to US anti-sat weapons.
"It only changes to DST the next time you manually set the clock."
"So if you deployed this "patch" on your Win2K machines in a corporate environment, the time is going to be wrong when everybody shows up on Monday."
The Microsoft KB articles said that was exactally what you would have to do with 2000 and NT4. Everyone seemed to think that we were changing the *time* early this morning. Well, we weren't, we changed *timezones*. On 2K and NT4 updating the timezone information only ocurrs when the timzone is changed.
"All you have to do is say "no." You tell us to "f--- off" and then call the U.S. "divisive."
The problem is, the rhetoric is constant. '9/11 hijackers came from Canada'. Softwood lumber. Mad Cow. SARS. Security and Prosperity Partnership. Constantly ignoring us in Afghanistan, our response to Katrina and 9/11.
Your Ambassador (and his predecessors) are always telling 'little brother' what we should be doing that is good for 'bigger brother'.
After a while, 'F--- off and mind your business' is a perfectly cromulent response.
Yes, I read the article you provided. If you follow the one I did, and the/. article it was rebutting, you'll see the original CanWest News article from which this all originally came.
"It seems to me (and I know I'll get flamed for this) that the US is only trying to protect its exports. This is not an example of bullying or trying to run the whole world."
Yes, that's exactally what it is. (Of course, you expected to get flamed!). Do you not recall the Slashdot story, where the claim that movies are generally pirated in Canada was false? The RIAA's own information contradicts that assertion:
So, this is the RIAA, using it's bought and paid for Senators to try to influence politics in another country. Guess how much US Senators like Canadian politicians giving them advice? (Like 'don't go to Iraq'). About the same as we like US 'Ambassadors' telling us what we should do in our own country.
Like almost everyone else on this thread; are you blaming that on Vista, or the fact your hardware manufacturer didn't get off their lazy ass to write compatible drivers? (Yes, I know Commodore hardware consists mainly of filing cabinets now . ..)
It's not like there was no lead time from XP to Vista. My ASUS Crosshair M/B works wonderfully in XP-64, but not at all in Vista. There are no listed drivers for Vista right now on ASUS's site. Do I blame Microsoft for that? No.
I speak some Farsi. Would you like me to translate what he actually said?
Firstly, the Farsi word for 'map' ("nagsheh") was never used. Nor was the word 'Isreal'. A more literal translation of one passage would be "Jerusalem must/will vanish from the pages of time".
Another passage means: "The establishment of the Zionist regime was a move by the world oppressor against the Islamic world,". The difference between Isralies and Zionists is left as an excercise to the student. Hint: It's the same difference as between 'Americans' and 'Neo-Conservatives'.

This is slashdot, people always blame the 'clueless Admins', unless they are discussing Notes.
IBM is still the one company that writes more software titles for Windows than does Microsoft.
It's my understanding from previous articles that Winners and Homesense store Interac card #s and PINs (but Canadian Interac cards were not breached). What possible business reason is there to store PINs, and why are they storing card information at all?
If it's not on fire, it's a software problem.
