Doesn't anyone else find it disturbing that the sun is halfway from its 11 year peak and it's now spewing out billions of tons of matter at an unprecedented rate?
Perhaps, now just perhaps, the sun is gearing up to go nova and shed its entire outer layer. In that case, I think I'd want to be at the Sudbury neutrino observatory. =)
Considering this activity is outside of the 11 year high in the cycle, I wonder if there is a chance that the sun may do something that may kill us all. Like shed its entire outer skin or something...
I've got just over 25 gigs of music on my computer. The music comes from various sources (library, my own, outsourced, etc...).
Anyhow, I've got room to spare. What's to stop me from duplicating my collection, but instead fill each file with garbage data so they are the same sizes and have the same names.
Is it illegal for me to share files with specific names? Would I get a subpoena?

"So basically, you Canadiaians still want to be Americans, but you won't say so because saying so, would mean we were right all along. You are too envious to let us know for sure that we won. But that's OK, because we already know."
Actually, it is our greatest fear, that of becoming American or Americanised. We prefer not to live in a perpetual state of fear.
When I was referring to the 'markets' I was not specifically quoting the currency markets, but if you want to be that way...
Check out the 2-year chart for Canadian Dollars vs. US Dollars.
Looks to me like our Canadian dollar is moving up quite quickly, it is almost as though it were becomming an upward trend!... Don't mind me, I am a market analyst.
A major reason for your GDP is because your country was founded on slave labour; helping it become the richest country in the world in no time at all.
90% of us live within the US border for the simple fact that the climate is friendlier further south.
We don't manufacture our own brand of cars. And we also drive european cars.
I presume you mean fast food? Well, for the people that do eat that stuff, it is because those franchises entrenched themselves into the fast food business...
When you are NOT talking about fast food, the MAJORITY of the ENTIRE WORLD eats Canadian food (i.e. Grains).
We did until your markets burst... As you will notice, Canada's economy is not faltering, it remains strong. Our markets are not collapsing as yours did, and our people are not being put into poorhouses.
On behalf of Canadians everywhere I'd like to offer an apology to the United States of America. We haven't been getting along very well recently and for that, I am truly sorry.
I'm sorry we called George Bush a moron.
He is a moron, but it wasn't nice of us to point it out. If it's any consolation, the fact that he's a moron shouldn't reflect poorly on the people of America. After all it's not like you actually elected him.
I'm sorry about our softwood lumber. Just because we have more trees than you doesn't give us the right to sell you lumber that's cheaper and better than your own.
I'm sorry we beat you in Olympic hockey. In our defense I guess our excuse would be that our team was much, much, much, much better than yours.
I'm sorry we burnt down your white house during the war of 1812. I notice you've rebuilt it! It's very nice.
I'm sorry about your beer. I know we had nothing to do with your beer, but we feel your pain.
I'm sorry about our waffling on Iraq. I mean, when you're going up against a crazed dictator, you wanna have your friends by your side. I realize it took more than two years before you guys pitched in against Hitler, but that was different. Everyone knew he had weapons.
And finally on behalf of all Canadians, I'm sorry that we're constantly apologizing for things in a passive-aggressive way which is really a thinly veiled criticism. I sincerely hope that you're not upset over this.
We've seen what you do to countries you get upset with.

Perhaps if I had spent 3 days in constant physics lectures I wouldn't have failed my physics final today. =(

WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!

Remember the article about how spelling doesn't matter as long as the first and last letters are there?
Well, my brain read this to be "Robots are Exploding"
And then I was disappointed once I noted the "Sales" part...
Actually, the PumpJack, a gay bar in Vancouver, has begun swiping AND scanning people's ID.
So much for the right to privacy...
Actually, that wouldn't help much as British Columbia driver's licenses have bar-coded information on them as well as the magnetic stripe.
I always encoded my MP3s 224 kbps and when iTunes came out I simply continued the tradition.
In any case, I can certainly notice the improvement from MP3s encoded at the same rate.
I just happened to be here and figured, why not?
I mean, I probably really disappointed some dedicated troll or something, whereas I really don't even care.
1st post
I stand corrected. =) I was guesstimating.
Although, I didn't mention whether it was an adult flea or a newly hatched flea. =)
Yes, and I have a car that weighs over 1 trillion fleas.
Did I mention my laptop that must weigh over 50 field mice...
Yes... Every time the microwave gets turned on I get booted off the net.
It's really annoying with OS X Panther. I submitted a bug report stating:
"Finder crashes when browsing network connections and using the microwave simultaneously."
Wow! That was my first first post. hehe
Now this is my first 2nd post. =)

I wonder how many people were thinking "Gee, I'd hate to be the guy who made that mistake!"
Well, I'd love to be that guy, as he will probably get a big promotion for generating even more interest into Apple's upcoming event.

Why pay $19.95 a month when there is VNC ?
Seems a bit silly to me... And of course there is SSH if you are not part of the Borg.
Kent Brockman (on TV): "Scientists announced today that the universe is a giant doughnut."
Homer Simpson (drooling and gurgling): "Mmmmmm.... Doughnut..."

Actually NO, I didn't steal it from there...
Rick Mercer on "This Hour has 22-Minutes" did that rant on CBC television some months back.
Rick Mercer was inproperly attributed as the author, but apparantly Rick Mercer states he did not write the piece, nor does he know the source.
