From what I've seen (first-hand experience), no one seems to care if you go and sleep on the couches in the Computer Science labs. I've had an overnighter, and many hours worth of napping in there, and only got bothered once. By a friend. With a sharpie.
Wow, it's really disappointing to see that the only HP is the HP30S (non-programmable). Around these parts, just about everyone has an HP48G or an HP49G+, both being RPN.
I agree (wrt Ontario's way being reasonable). I'm in Saskatchewan. I've never taken a ticket to traffic court though, so I don't know how that all goes down. Every ticket I've gotten I've fully deserved, and have thanked the officer for the "discount" he's given me:D
You're correct. It's called Failure or refusal to provide a sample. On the next page, it is lumped together with all the other charges as far as sentancing goes.
I'm from Saskatchewan, where you're not allowed to serve liquor and have naked women in the same building. When I went to Calgary for an IEEE trip, I have to say I was quite quite impressed by the French Maid. The atmosphere was great, the girls were great, and we all around had an awesome time.
EVERYTHING is in vector format so it prints just as nicely as it looks on screen.
I've found with latex exporting to PostScript (instead of PDF) generally results in a document that looks BETTER on paper than on screen. Just a warning in case someone tries this, sees that the output doesn't look spectacular, and moves on. Try printing a page or two and see how it looks.
Sadly, we just sold our decently nice house (in Moose Jaw) for $95k, but that was well over market value. I'm not sure why they were so keen on it. I think it was maybe worth $75k-$80k.
I love it when people talk about Moose Jaw. As far as a tech sector goes though... not a whole lot going on.
Saskatoon, despite only being roughly 250,000 people, has a lot of tech going with the university.
Meh, it sounds like a lot until you consider the number of people with broadband. For example, 2000 people with 1Mbit connections could saturate a pair of gigabit links.
Typically with mysql, or any of the other big database programs, it's assumed that the user is not a newby [sic]. For users new to databases, there is stuff like Microsoft Access or whatever the OpenOffice equivalent is.
It's the same deal with most server software. Reading up and knowing what you're getting into beforehand is necessary.
Also, because of the number of calculations that go on in bigger spreadsheets, a small error up near the top can ripple through the whole sheet and make it ALL bad data. With Word, for example, if you misspell the title on the document, it doesn't invalidate all the information inside.
Akvavit. Oh Akvavit. I've had a lot of drinks in my life, and I think that the Caraway-flavoured Akvavit I had last new years with my Danish friends was one of the worst tasting drinks I've ever had. It did however knock me on my ass after a few, so that was at least a bit of redemption.

Yup, I'll second that. I had a job that paid on the 15th and the last day of the month, but everything has been bi-weekly... until now.
I'm working for a university and adapting to this once-a-month system is kind of tricky.

Where is that from?
In my part of Canada, they (almost certainly) don't write the actual speed on the ticket, just whatever you're being charged with.
Sweet! That's another class I plan on taking too!

Uhoh. I'm strangely excited to take the "OS Design" class we have at school.
Generally, you don't want to be clicking those anyways :)
Double-click on it (highlight entire "word"), middle click on web browser. Done.
Everyone seems ok with that.
Not really. There's a quite vocal minority that is really choked that that's happening.
Even Linus is pretty sketchy about the closed-source binary drivers. http://kerneltrap.org/node/1758
Survey says... Because it's cheaper!

Awful. Salaries are awful in Moose Jaw. I know this. I used to live there.

I don't know why, but I'm always compelled to chuckle whenever somewhere close to here gets mentioned!
Regina sucks. Saskatoon rules!
+1 Funny :)

Gnome Weather applet works in Canada. I'm not sure where it pulls the data from, but it does.
Liquid Crystal Display maybe?
