Join the club...although it is almost mosquito season now! Back on topic...what about the "Rocket Stick" that Rogers offers. It is basically a USB stick that connects to the cellular network to offer internet to tablets, laptops etc. If your iPad has a USB port (too lazy to look up specs, but with Apple who knows what the latest thing you don't need is) you can just plug in the Rocket Stick and get internet. The data plans are not too terrible, but the speeds aren't great. Honestly would not be my first option, and I would avoid it if at all possible, but it could be worth looking into.
Oh, I am not sure what the cost for the stick is if you don't do a contract data plan though...
So why not test it by getting radiation badges for the people working there and put the rumours to rest? Oh right...because that would mean there is a chance you might get caught.
Sadly I have to agree. The idea of pure democracy is intriguing...until you look at the guy in the next car over picking his nose while eating a cheeseburger, smoking, and driving. I find myself leaning more and more towards the meritocracy form of government. But again, who decides who has the merit to rule?
*sigh, it seems there is no winning. Time to go colonize mars and rule my own little crater with an iron fist!
Ok, I know I may be missing something bigger picture here, and I certainly don't have a political science degree, but with today's levels of technology how is it not feasible to simply poll all of Canada electronically in a secure way?
If you set a system like that up (I am sure the costs would be fairly substantial for security, ensuring one vote each only, etc.) could you not then have a true democracy? You could just have billboards up across each city showing what issues were being voted on that day, and if it was something you cared one way or the other you just logged in and cast your vote. Leave the voting open for a few days on each issue, and get a real consensus about people who care about the issue.
I do realize the one draw back of this is that the general public is making decisions about their own futures...:D
You do realize that if someone jumps right in front of your vehicle while attempting to play "frogger", you have no time to hit the breaks (after reaction time) regardless of your speed. That rule is reserved for things like an Elk which you can see ahead of time and which can reasonably be thought of as crossing the road at a bad time. People generally have better judgement, and as such you don't slow down to a crawl every time you pass one on the sidewalk.
You know your apple fandom has gone to far when you are angry that you are getting married because it means you can't turn on the MacBook for a few days. Seek help.
Wouldn't it eventually reach zero? Once you are dead, the rate at which you continue to die would be 0...unless you are a zombie, in which case divide by 0.
I am pretty sure you are right...however I don't know if this should be correct as the definition of species has to do with the ability to interbreed. I have yet to hear of a caterpiller successfully mating with a butterfly. Unless this is analogous to a child not being able to mate with an adult?
$10 divided by the 52 hours you spend talking to your brother on Xbox Live == $0.19 an hour extra you are paying. How much is a long distance phone plan?
Respectfully I disagree with your assessment of human life. At the point of fertilization you do not have a human, you have a multicellular organism. I don't believe it is even technically part of our phylogeny until it has developed certain attributes, for example a spinal cord (phylum chordata), the ability to breathe air and have at least a neocortex (definition of mammalian). Technically this organism has yet to develop any of the prerequisite biological markers present in a homo sapiens.
That being said, yes, I do realize that given it's genetic makeup it will eventually form an organism that should (barring genetic damage) form a homo sapiens, but my argument is that at the time it is not physically capable of being a human. It is simply lacking the hardware. My belief system is that to be considered a human, with the rights and privileges therein, you should at least meet the basic requirements of the species.

Here you go then, fired for having a few drinks, and one expletive on a private facebook page.
If you aren't part of the solution, you are part of the precipitate silly.

I don't let friends and family have java or use IE or Adobe Reader.
But when their typewriter breaks a key, boy does all hell break loose ;)
I am truly sorry for this but...obligatory xkcd

Porn. That is all.
Clearly we do. The Neanderthals were clearly all Dark Prince rock gods. Oh to live in times such as those...
That's what she said?
Also the bear may come looking for this bottle and that could just get messy.
Damn, I was hoping they were making coffee.
Clearly you got ripped off. Google is offering ice cream for less.
That's even worse!!! I kid though, that was an oversight on my part.

I should do it to be social orm ake me fee life I'm missing out on not being drunk.
Are you sure you aren't drunk right now?
And now I need a new monitor. Was that really necessary Effexor?

Kind of like comma's, except for the "where appropriate" part?
Damn. Parsing got rid of my comic book guy html tags.
