Wow. That cartoon will never die. I was particularily happy to see a nod to the "Mr T ate my balls" phenomenon.
True. Shaw and Rogers, the two incumbent Cable providers are already in trials to provide a 90 dollar Cable, Voip, Internet and ondemand video service that you can control from your computer, allowing you a Tivo-like PVR ability.
Canadians can expect to have this convergance within 3 months, here's the press release and heres an overview
The technology was provided by Siemens with its SURPASS line of switches, and is really amazing. You'll be able to provision multiple lines, virutual PBX's and high bandwidths with their business offerings as well.
apache with mod_webdav is what you want. It works out of the box on Mac actually, since Apple's iCal is built on webDav, which means they'd be compatible (sort of)
I think it works out of the box on Fedora as well.
Pretty much any modern web server can do webdav, or has a module that can do it.
True that. Years ago i workend on a Document Management System to implement the various vague and interpretive guidelines for Drug Discovery Submission to the FDA. The implementation was not so hard, but the customizations that had to me made to comply with the various QA/QC departments of our customers made the entire venture very painfull for all involved.
Such broad interpretive documents have no place or value in the health industry. Seriously, the FDA will not (at the time) even provide or allow to be provided a proper validation of a software package for CFR part 11 submission, which i suppose speaks to your point of their internal understanding of computer systems.
Fantastic point. In BC our Forestry industry took a pounding in no small part to the whims of State polititions who weren't concerned or bound by the NAFTA treaty.
The arbitration process for NAFTA is slow messy and hopeless. Small Canadian or New Zealand companies do not have the resources to motivate effective Trade arbitration Thats just the reality
Years ago i had an RS/6000 AIX machine that ran a program called COBOL RESOURCE, it was essentially a VAX emulator that would run Cobol and RPG programs.
It also provided a very nice pseudo-shell with a VAX coding toolchain. The best part of it was that the system was simply made up of AIX executables and shared libraries, so we were able to integrate with our existing shell and awk programs.
Not sure who made it, but it was a great program, and is still running to this day which is 8 years since used it. Additionally, the original VAX code was at least 10 years old. So, i figure we'll never be rid of VAX, at least in spirit, as emulators give old code a new life.
As a Canadian, i'd like to apologize to you on behalf of all sensible Canadians for the grandparents post.
Canada as always beaten the crap out of the US of A ( see your history book ladies of the US )
The War of 1812 was fought over 50 years before the British North American act created the Dominion of Canada, and IIRC the Amercians succeeded in many of there offensives and objectives in that war. Consider this: Are the British still in Lower Canada?
Whe have one of the biggest country ( in territory ) with one of the smallest army in number of unit in the world.
Sure, we have a large "square kilometer to soldier" ratio, so did the Russians 20 years ago. However, comparing our "citizen to soldier" ratio is more apt in this case,, there we have a medium sized army, along the lines of Austria or Japan.
Whe have the best nuclear reactor and MEDICAL nuclear program in the world but NO NUCLEAR FOR WEAPON program even do whe know how and can build in 30 minutes the best nuke in the world, whe CHOOSED not to.
Canada has not constructed any Nuclear weapons because, in part, it hasn't needed to and, it agreed to not pursue an independent weapons program in the 70's. This was asked of us by both NATO and the UN Security counsel, presumably to stop further WMD proliferation. We have complied, and most like will continue to do so. Also, i'm not sure we have the "best" nuclear anything. Recall the Candu reactors? I don't think we could "choosed" to build a bomb in 30 minutes even if we were not barred by international law to do so.
Well, according to this story reprinted from the National Post, Al-Qaeda has declared that Canada must be destroyed, because it is part of Dar ul-Harb. I can understand the strong desire to want to pretend that everything's just fine, but it should be pointed out that only one side has to agree in order to have a war.
Yes, Canada has many "enemies", and many of those we share with our Neighbours to the South, which is all the more reason to present a united front.

I couldn't agree more. I have been making a serious effort in the last few years to open my mind to technologies (like Swing) i had quickly dismissed earlier on.
Apple's swing implementation is pretty fast, good looking, usable and well (but not *fully*, you have to implement your own Apple-W handlers and such, which is i guess to be expect) integrated with the host OS.
Additionally, the support for JNLP/WebStart is very satifictory on both XP and OSX. A fine java deployment techonology that I believe is underrated.
I was just at the local apple dealer, supplier, they'll be available for apple dealers by the end of the month for 180-200 dollars. You're supplier may not be aware of them, as apple has not sent much markerting or sales training materials yet, so don't expect them to know much about the product, if anything.
Speaking of magazines, about 10 years ago i used to work for a magazine wholesaler. Investments decided to sell the circulation information, and I was put in charge of the data-mining.
Apparently, if you know what kind of magazines are being sold in an area, you can assemble an accurate picture of the area's demographic, and use it to gauge market opportunites and stock management. For instance, high volumes of mens magazines begin sold in an area suggests it may be a good idea to open a Sporting goods store, conversely, a Department Store could infer that a lot of bridal and family magazines mean its time to stock baby strollers and family basics. The list went on and on, and even included municipal politians.
Due to constaints imposed by Canadian Privacy laws (i think), were not able to actually sell the quantity of any particular title, instead, we had to aggregate the titles into "subject categories" like Young Mens, Young Womens, Sport, Hobby, etc etc.
The markting agency that bought the information spent waaaaaaay more than i ever could have expected that information to be worth, and my technical liason was very bright, and had a very large (relatively) IT/Engineering group, so i figure they must have had a pretty slick set up. And, i just checked, they are still in business.
Interesting use of targeted content, i hadn't though of that project in years till reading this thread.
This act, more than any other piece of targeted legislation at spamming may help stem the flow of spam.
While the crime is not entirely related to spamming, it shows that local law enforcement is getting "clever" with its prosecution, in the same way federal authorities, when unable to get felony convictions like murder against organized crime bosses turned to tax evasion and fraud.
Couldn't agree more. In Canada, the unwritten constitutional conventions left by the British require the sitting government to never lose a parliamentary vote on a money bill or a vote of confidence, else the Governor-General is obliged to ask the prime minister to call an election.
This means (effectively) that all the Majority MPs are barred from ever voting their concience or on behalf of their constituents in Pariliament, which i think is wrong, considering thats why we elected them in the first place.
At least in the States, you'll find a break in partisanship as Senators and Congressman often break from the party line to vote the way they feel.
Secondly, their is virtually no separation of the Executive (prime ministers office) and Legislative branches of the Goverment... which wouldn't matter anyways since we have an unelected and completely ineffective Senate.
Recall the Senator that actually MOVED OUT OF CANADA TO MEXICO and went years between even bothering to show up to work. He still, unfortunately, is a senator to my knowledge
Recall again Mulroney adding 3 extra senators (!!!!) so he could pass his GST bill.
Can you imagine what the American's whould do to a president that violated the constitution to ram a fucking 7% sales tax bill.... ???
I have one of these i use with a big plasma in my boardroom. Its great for powerpoint but utterly useless for much else unless you've gotten accustomed to it. However, its a great toy and a better conversation piece.
In my mind the best thing about it watching my partners try to navigate their hotmail inboxes during presentation with it.
CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien were very good friends and both taught at oxford during the london blitz.
Its said that "The Lion,the witch and the wardrobe" and LOTR were both written at the same time as an exercise in childrens writing, however, by all accounts tolkien didn't really like kids, thus Hobbits.
Both men critiqued each others work and were heavily influenced by the war. Tolkien later denied any metaphorical relation to Sauron to hitler, but reading the "Scour of the Shire" at the end of the books really makes me wonder. Clearly aslan is a christ figure in TLTWATW but Tolkien always denied this in Gandalf. While tolkien was just a practicing Anglican (i think) Lewis was a very pious Quaker.

No.
Microsoft will never sell again sell UNIX OS (on PCs anyways) becase the agreed not too when they sold their Xenix business in the 80s.
