  1. Re:First clone of first post! on Scientists Clone Sheep With 'Good' Fat · · Score: 2

    I eat turkey bacon regularly and it tastes nothing like real bacon. It tastes more like Bologna than bacon.

  2. Re:Yay Canada on Canada: Police Do Not Have Power To Wiretap Without Warrant · · Score: 1

    That election can't come soon enough. I just wish I had a Pirate Party candidate in my riding.

  3. Re:Yay Canada on Canada: Police Do Not Have Power To Wiretap Without Warrant · · Score: 1

    And nicer beaches

  4. Re:Yay Canada on Canada: Police Do Not Have Power To Wiretap Without Warrant · · Score: 2

    I live in NS, it is very nice. Lots of scenic rural areas and you're never that far from the [only] city.

  5. Re:Who cares? on 1366x768 Monitors Top 1024x768 For the First Time · · Score: 1

    +1 My next laptop will likely cost me an additional $300-$500 because I refuse to ever buy a computer with 1366x768 resolution again. It is horrible for coding and even worse for Photoshoping pictures and graphics.

  6. Re:Recourse? on Up To 1.5 Million Visa, MasterCard Credit Card Numbers Stolen · · Score: 5, Insightful

    My bank called me a couple months ago (not related to this incident) and said that they were cancelling my card and issuing me a new one because they had reason to believe it could have been compromised even though no fraudulent charges had been made. This seems like the appropriate thing to do. The card issuers should be contacting their customers to have the cards replaced.

  7. Re:100% shark jokes on Seagate Hits 1 Terabit Per Square Inch · · Score: 1

    Really wish I had mod points for this. +1

  8. Re:Welcome to our world on The Specter of Gasoline At $5 a Gallon · · Score: 1

    Where I live in rural Canada the price is $1.371/L or about $5.19/gallon. Compared to many I have a relatively short commute each day (35Km/22 miles each way) and it is starting to hurt each time I fill up at the pump.

  9. Re:Pretty much useless? on MIT Media Lab Rolls Out Folding Car · · Score: 1

    +1 That is exactly what I was thinking.

  10. Re:His thinking the US is a democratic country... on Sir Tim Berners-Lee Speaks Out On SOPA · · Score: 1

    +1 Sad truth

    +1 Informative

  12. Re:Spread the word on Ask Slashdot: What Can You Do About SOPA and PIPA? · · Score: 1

    Just checked and Wikipedia only says "The English Wikipedia is currently locked for the SOPA/PIPA blackout" when viewing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page from Canada also. These sites should be doing a full blackout in all countries.

  13. Re:Spread the word on Ask Slashdot: What Can You Do About SOPA and PIPA? · · Score: 2

    I see the link but not the logo. I'm in Canada.

  14. Re:Individual use "strongly discouraged" on Mozilla Announces Long Term Support Version of Firefox · · Score: 1

    I moved to Chrome 3 months ago for regular browsing and it was amazing how much fast things seemed to load. I still use FF for development becuase Firebug works much better than Firebug Lite on Chrome.

  15. Re:DVR Patent Wars on Tivo Gets $215 Million Patent Settlement From AT&T · · Score: 1

    I should have mentioned that I am in Canada. We get CTV and CBC OTA with an antenna.

  16. Re:DVR Patent Wars on Tivo Gets $215 Million Patent Settlement From AT&T · · Score: 2

    I cancelled my cable years ago and watch all shows online. I do occasionally turn on my TV to catch an NHL game on CBC (OTA). Other than that my TV has become a nice 32" monitor.

  17. Re:I had serious problems with Namecheap. on GoDaddy Backs SOPA · · Score: 3, Informative

    I have used Dynadot for 3 years and they have been great. .com only $9.75 (every year) and full DNS control.

  18. Re:First Nation on Canada First Nation To Pull Out of Kyoto Accord · · Score: 1

    No, that was my first thought when I read the headline too

  19. Re:The status quo on Major ISPs Seek To Lower Broadband Definition · · Score: 1

    I'd like to know who gathered those stats (especially the state by state). I live in Nova Scotia (the 4th smallest province in Canada) and I can get either 5 Mbit DSL or 15Mbit Cable Internet. According to your chart NS should be #1
