First, Islam is a religion. A Muslim is a person who practices said religion. It's like saying "Scottish is a country."
Second, he didn't say "racism," he said "predjudice." There is a difference - the first is specific, the second is general.
Speaking only for my city, but most of the college campuses around here are just basic security - typically with phones around campus that are direct lines to nearby police stations, or even 911.
Also, a large part of why we (security officers - and thank you for using the correct term for us) end up bitter and pedantic is because people ignore us and treat us like we're not people - much like those who work in menial customer service positions. If someone's a fucking idiot, it doesn't matter what their job is - they're still an idiot.
Depending on the pillow, of course. Looking at wikipedia, I see that light falls under EMR, which I probably knew. But still, how much light does the bottom of your laptop give off that you need a pillow to block it?
Last I remember, it was only the heat that was a problem. What with, you know, extreme heat temporarily reducing sperm count.
Also, as far as I know, pillows don't block electromagnetic radiation.
I don't know about where you live, but (as far as I know) most cities in Canada have a Crimestoppers hotline if you witness a crime, and the occasional commercial or news spot asking for help identifying suspects. From what I gather, this is pretty much the same thing, only people started on facebook rather than waiting for the poorly reenacted commercials to start airing.
Thing is, it's not just "a video from one guy". I was watching CBC, and they were showing crowds with enough camera flashes going off that I think if one of the rioters was epileptic, he would have gone into seizures by just looking over his shoulder. Many dozens of cameras and phones lifted up to catch what was going on. Someone higher up mentioned photoshopping in someone you don't like, which wouldn't work because of the twenty or thirty other pictures of the same scene without that person there. And other people have mentioned that the police are asking for their help. To address your initial point, the vandalism, and even assaults that resulted in the most minor of injuries, are all crimes. It's their job to try to catch, and prosecute, the perpetrators, whether or not it's a pain in the ass to do. Even arresting one person with evidence from multiple sources would be a win, as far as I'm concerned.
“The increase in rapes can be attributed in large part to the playing out of [sexual] scenes in video games,” she said.
That bit suggests that there has been an increase in the amount of rapes, some of which can be attributed to video games. Using your sentence:
"The increase in racism can be seen by some as a result of reading Fox News, especially in localized areas that national statistics wouldn't be able to pick up."
The petition sends an email when you sign it. Basically, every person mentioned above the form (currently Industry Minister Tony Clement and BQ Leader Gilles Duceppe) gets a separate email from every person who signs the petition. That's what I gathered, at least, from the email I got from Ignatieff. It was a reply, containing the original email, in which he (possibly) typed my name, and then copy/pasted a scripted reply.
Exactly. I posted a link a little ways down in which Netflix's CEO says:
"costs to deliver a marginal gigabyte, which is about an hour of viewing, from one of our regional interchange points over their last mile wired network to the consumer is less than a penny, and falling, so there is no reason that pay-per-gigabyte is economically necessary"
Shaw, actually. They have two tiers higher than what I have (I think 250 is the highest cap), but those aren't available in Alberta (at least, not last I checked).
Just so you know, the caps were reduced drastically (I get 100GB on the largest plan available from my ISP in my area), and the overage charges are ridiculous. You talk about 10 cents per GB, but we're being charged between $1 and $2.50 per GB.
Umm... you do know that the Koran views suicide as a mortal sin just like the Catholic Bible does, right? It really doesn't matter whether or not it was an act of revenge.

If you cancel the autocorrect two or three times, it adds the word to its dictionary. I had to do it for a bunch of words because iOS doesn't offer a Canadian English autocorrect dictionary.
Of course, if you spell something terribly wrong and cancel the correction, it'll up an decide that it only needs you to do it once.
For that matter, who would buy mammoth sperm on the black market? Not to mention enough of it to be able to produce enough embryos to clone it... and just happen to have their own elephant to implant the embryo in to bring it to term?

Not all that different from saying "Christian is a religion."

Or doesn't like your name.
Yikes. I'm sorry to say, you might have a little more to worry about than just the temporary sperm count reduction.

Maybe I'm just a poor arsonist, but I assume it's a little difficult to light a police car on fire with a box of matches or a Bic lighter.

The CRTC doesn't really have much choice, as Tony Clement's tweet suggests.

Much more than double, if you believe Netflix's CEO

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned USC yet. And, of course, I found out about that on /. months ago.

Meh, go ahead. My mom makes fun of me for it all the time. As does my doctor, now.
The first time I saw Outbreak, I was convinced I had the Motaba virus. Hypochondria is a bitch.
