Ships with? Yes. Installed by default? No. In fact, it didn't even come with my late 2001 iBook. I had to download it from Apple. It did, however, come on my new PowerBook.
Not your province, not your problem. Gotta love federalism. You should be happy that it's Toronto talking about doing this and not Ottawa.
The problem, though, is that Toronto thinks that Ontario is all of Canada, and Ottawa seems to agree. Well, Ottawa thinks that Ontario + Quebec are Canada, but you get the idea.
It's great that they've released this. I hope to be able to play a demo before I buy this game. I've purchased Quake, Quake 2, not Quake 3, hopefully this will be better than Quake 3.
So, how long to people think it will take before there's a playable demo?
NetBSD: Nice OS. However, it just "feels strange" to me in ways that I can't really quantify. For example, according to everything I've read, you rebuild the system by crosscompiling it to your own platform (and if I'm wrong, please enlighten me). It always gave me the subconscious impression that it tries really, really hard to prove how cross-platform it is by never really feeling completely at home on any of them. Justified? I don't know. That's just how it seemed to this outsider.
Largly you are cross compiling to your own platform. It really just builds the toolchain first then builds the rest of the system. The interesting consequence of this setup is that it's possible to build other versions of the OS without any contamination from the installed version. I've build a whole release snapshot of -current from 2.0.2, without installing it myself. This is difficult on the others, for instance when OpenBSD made the switch to ELF on i386, it was more or less a reinstall situation, whereas NetBSD would have just let you build it.
And strangly enough, It also works well with Mac OS X Mail.app. I've only tested this with Firefox 1.5 Beta on OS X though. I need to see what happens on normal UNIXy systems though. I'll try it on my NetBSD machine shortly.
In many provinces, Saskatchewan included, most communities over 500 people have DSL. Seriously.
I'm curious... why do you say "Saskatchewan included"? You make it sound as though Saskatchewan is or should be way behind other provinces broadband-wise.
Saskatoon and Regina were pretty much the first two cities in Canada to have DSL service.
That's too bad. I live 3000km from Toronto, and I can get 7mb DSL or 7mb cable for less than $40/month. You really should talk to your telco about an infrastructure upgrade. I hear Ontario still has analog switching equipment.
Well, where I live in the summer It's light out till 11pm, and the sun is back up by 4am. So I a=was surprised when it was full dark fairly early in California. It just felt weird.
What? She looks like a typical female. Just because she doesn't look like a pr0n star doesn't mean she's a fat-ass who can't get any. It's really too bad when a desperate 13 year old punk kid who watches too much porn thinks that any women that he hasn't seen having sex is unatttractive.
I doubt this will wake Steve up and make him re-evaluate his move to ix86. One can hope, but i wont count on it.
Well, I wouldn't be too surprised to hear him go back on ONLY Intel, and support both for a while. That'd be best, I think, because PPC is better for some applications, and Intel is better for others.
Thanks for that insight, except that it's wrong. Force = Mass * acceleration. You are thinking of momentum, which is mass * velocity. Pedantics aside... what I meant was: If the limit is 30km/h, and you're going 50km/h, does the car do more damage than if the limit was 50km/h?
The the parent of my post implied that damage is a function of the speed of the vehicle and the speed limit.
Speeding is the problem because most vehicles and roads are not made to safely handle crashes above the posted speed limits.
How exactly does the car know that what the posted limit is? If you're going faster than the limit does the car cause more damage to the other car invlolved?

A natural extension of that logic is that somebody who kills a pregnant woman should only be charged with one murder.
Virtual PC can save you hundreds of dollars there, especially if you have a resonably fast Macintosh. I use it to use VS 2003 on my PowerBook.

Fair enough, but I also use the C shell and Z shell, and they both have foreach in their scripting languages, so I'm used to it.
I don't use it, though, because I tend to target Java 1.4 VMs when I do java.
It's been there since Java 5 came out in September of last year. About frikin' time :)
Well, you wouldn't want the Pirates of the Saskatchewan to show up on the Premier's doorstep, would you?
;)
Sometimes I would
Two major rivers. North Saskatchewan, and South Saskatchewan. Oddly enough, the capital doesn't have a river at all.

It doesn't support EVERYTHING in .NET, but it supports the vast majority as well as everything for ASP.Net.

Right, because those thousands of Linux servers are capable of running ASP .NET, which Microsoft uses extensively... Er, no.
Er, yes.
I don't know if Akamai's servers use Mono or not, but Linux in general (as well as BSD and Mac OS X) can run ASP.Net 1.1. I've used it successfully.

From a bottle.
What's on the top of a bottle if it isn't a plastic tit?
Your child could be scarred for life ! Act now before it's too late !
I've never understood this mentality. How the fuck do the kids of parents like that eat when they're babies?
Well, it made the front page of the newspaper in Saskatoon today. I don't know about the Globe or the Post, though.

This may come as a shock, but Canadian companies are not subject to the rulings of US courts.
