You'd better stick to digg or wikipedia before tossing your uneducated opinions around/.
Judging by his ID number and yours i would guess he has been around/. a bit longer than you have... Not that it makes his post any more educated but he's pretty far from a new user just coming from digg.
I find it strange that someone that doesn't have the admin rights necessary to turn the anti-virus off would be allowed to install a service pack update on his computer. I guess security policy vary wildly from one company to another...
It depends on the province. In Quebec and some other provinces, you can buy alcool and cigarettes when you're 18. I also thought that you could have sex at 14 if there was less than 2 years difference between the partners. But that the official age of consent is 16... I might be wrong though.
On a more serious note, why aren't we just using a giant fiber-optic array on the roof which splits into smaller cables running to the rooms of the house?
Doesn't this seem like a much more efficient way to use the already-present light, rather than trying to convert it into electricity and convert it back in a form that wastes most of said energy as heat?
This technology already exists... It called a "window". The real problem is that during the period when we need to turn on the lights in the house, there is no light to be distributed from the ouside.
You must not be living in the province of Quebec. Around here, no one would concider the Hells Angels like good guys that like to ride motorcycles. From the early 1980's, when there was several members of the gang that were murdered by other members, to the mid 1990's gang war between the Hells Angels and the Banditos in Montreal (several shootings in bars, exploding cars that killed some civilians, etc), nobody around here conciders them like good guys.
What's interesting about this graph is that 4 out of the first 5 results are from India. I guess it's a real sign of all the outsourcing that happens...
My Quebecois friends insist on the term États-Unisiens.
Being from Québec, i can confirm that he's probably alone in the province to use that word. États-Uniens is used by the "intellectual" leftist that think it's cool to bash on the USA. But that's at most 5% of the population. The other 94.9999% of the province don't really give a damn about it and say "Americains", like it's always been.
Besides, WalMart is obligated to no one to even give a reason for closing a store. What difference would it make if they simply came out and said "we didn't want a store with a union?"
Concidering all the pro-union laws in the province of Quebec, i'm not sure that they legally have the right to close a store for that reason.
For 2 years, i was a real MUD addict. Playing 10 to 16 hours a day every day. Playing at work everytime my boss wasn't around, playing late at night, cancelling everything else so i could MUD. The game was controlling most aspects of my life. When you start dreaming in text form, you know you really MUD too much. I can attest that i was experiencing all the symptoms you named in your post when i couldn't get close to a computer for a day or two. It was to the point that i could not sit behind a computer without firing ZMUD. The moments i was not playing, i was thinking of what i would do when i would log on again. Finally got rid of the addiction when i lost my job and had to find a new one. The shock of it mostly removed my addiction. Now i still play, but i can control myself since i know what being addicted can bring to you...

I hate the way Ms Windows changed the presentation of the folders so when you open "my documents" you can not see the tree view, fortunately there is A BIG BUTTON called "FOLDERS" that lets you do that.
Make a new shortcut to replace "My documents". In the target write the following:
%windir%\explorer.exe/e,C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USERNAME
I looked at the picture. Saw that 30-40% of the land seems densely populated. Saw that 70% of the surface of eath is covered with water. I'm still not sure what that picture has to do as a proof of global warming though...
In most well designed environment i know, normal user have absolutely no rights (technically and administratively) to install any third party software. Everything that goes on the network has to be approved by the "Computer guys" AND installed by them. That makes it somewhat easier to create a whitelist
Well, with Quebecor it's pretty simple. They use their newspapers to promote their TV shows. They use their TV shows to promote their artists and magazines. They use their "news" program, to present "news" about TV shows and music shows where their artist appear. They use their record stores to highlight their own artist. And they use all this media power to put out campaigns against downloading music on the web.
When you live in the province every day, you know it's all pretty well organized.

As long as it's not to run non-free software... It seems a strange kind of freedom to me.

It seems Flickr has a Slashdot caught in its throat...
If he has the balls to want more than that he can sit and spin and I'll wait for someone else to come up with a solution.
1. Wait for narf2006 to go the shareware way.
2. Be the first to get said shareware.
3. Submit shareware to competition
4. ???
5. Profit!

So you're telling us that Bangladesh has a higher GDP than the United States? Who would have thought...
I guess those guys http://www.goffice.com/ will wonder why their traffic has gone up all of the sudden...
