Well, the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand etc had all their economies skyrocket after the war. I don't think anyone went to war to improve their economy.
All I ask is that a resume is neat, well presented, and spelling and grammar is correct.
It seems that you don't really care about grammar. The correct usage would be "spelling and grammar ARE correct". When you use two nouns together they are a plural, and the third person plural congugation of the verb "to be" is "are".
0.9.3 works nicely here. The only problem is on my 2K server box (It's not actually a server, it's just a box running 2k server) it's quite slow. I didn't submit a bug/problem report because 1) I figured someone else would have my problems too, and 2) The nightly builds are beautiful. Good work, Gentlemen, and presumably Ladies too!
It's not a tax. It's a levy. A tax goes to the government, while a levy goes to a corporation.
There are levies on pop bottles in Saskatchewan, to encourage recycling. When you buy pop here, you pay some money on the bottle, and you get it back when you take it to a recycling centre.
I guess I missed it. I thought the tea tax was at least a factor in starting the revolution, while Pearl Harbor was not a factor in starting WWII... it was just what caused the USA to declare war.
I don't know how it is in the States, but in Saskatchewan, about 90% of the SUVs are owned by women. My mum owns a '99 Ford Exploder, I hate everything about it except for its sterio. It does have a the first decent automatic transmission I've ever seen though.
Personally, I drive a 4 cylinder '86 Ford Ranger. The reasons for this are that it gets very good gas mileage for a truck, and Saskatchewan is the flattest place on Earth. It is said that in Saskatchewan, if your dog runs away you'll always find it because you can see it three days after it started!
Another reason is that 90% of Saskatchewan's non-major highways are not paved. The Ranger handles them quite nicely, and I drive on them a lot as I am a farm boy in the summer when I'm not at school.
I've been to Europe. I was in the Netherlands in April. Gas was expensive then too, like a Euro a litre. BAH!
Sometimes I really like having gas at $.77(Canadian) a litre, but then I remember two years ago when gas was about $.57 a litre.
To be fair, though, SUVs DO have their place, just like dulies (Trucks with two rear axles, that look stupid when urbanites drive them). Rig pigs, ranchers, farmers and various people actually need them, but for most people a Minivan is a better choice.
Speaking of Minivans, are they common in Europe? I don't remember seeing any.
This isn't really true. There is at least some car manufacturing going on in Canada. My Acura MDX, for example, is built in Canada, and I know that they sell it in Canada, so there is at least one vehicle which you don't have to import.
Yes, that's true. What I meant was that we don't really have any uniquely Canadian cars that are made by Canadian companies. Most western European countries have their own cars, a few Asian countries, and the USA... but not us
A signifigant number of cars we drive are built here, but they're build by Americans, the Japanese, Europeans and Koreans for the US market. They just assume our auto industry should be a mirror of the US one, therefore it's hard to find a manual, or a deisel, or an American fuel-economy car.
People in Canada like manuals more. In the States, where middle aged women are buying more and more cars, the standard is becoming automatic. Because Canada imports ALL its cars, we don't have a choice but to accept what's going on down in America.
No. America is a country. THERE IS NO CONTINENT CALLED AMERICA. There is a continent called North America, and another called South America. If you want to call Canadians "Americans", call us "North Americans". By at least local useage, the latter is correct while the former is not.
I have one sitting beside me. It is the original
62mb hard drive that came with the computer I am now
writing this on. Since I bought it, it's been upgraded
to the point where absoloutly everything in it has been replaced,
including the power supply/enclosure. It is now a Celery 667, 20gb, 256mb machine
it does what I want it to quite nicely.
And those hard drives worked in DOS. Are you sure the disks didn't just offload their processing onto the controller
card? The 62mb one worked in Linux too. I'm sure it's just the controller, not the CPU that controls it.
Who can't spit out the name of your ISPs mail server while
some dolt fills on the Email wizard in Outlook Express while they do something else?
I can't. I have CAPD(Central Audiotory Processing Disorder). I could spit it out, if I knew what he was asking, but that's what I can't do, make sense of what I hear. If I'm doing ANYTHING else, I don't understand what somebody is saying to me, be it hitting something with a hammer, reading a book, coding, looking at a wall, if my attention is even remotely used for something else, I can't hear people.
That includes thinking of what to say when they're done talking, or if they get me thinking of something else. It's really annoying, actually. That's why I can't do the phone-monkey thing.
It does have its advantages, though. I'm not easily interrupted when doing work, I don't hear people talking to me when I don't want to, it's not ignoring, it's involentary, but convenient at times. I have not trouble visiting my own little world.
Um, I don't know what the exchange rate and whatnot is, but that isn't cheap at all. In california,
I pay $37.95 for a DSL line, and before that is $15 for a ppp conection. And paying for X
number of hours? I didn't think that kind of madness still happened!
You get that kind of madness for the cheap internet access. Remember he's quoting Canadian dollars. At home I'm paying $35 a month for unlimited broadband access to the 'net on @Home.
@Home is technically breaking the law in Canada, because I'm on the American backbone. In Canada it is illegal for an ISP to connect to the American backbone directly. They must build their network here. I really want to be on Canarie like the Sympatico subscribers are, but it's $10 more per month with a static IP.
That's neat. We don't elect our senators, and we have the "House of Commons" and the Senate. I think we should change its name to the House of Lords, just to piss people off.
The Canadian Alliance is our Official Opposition. They own the west while the Liberals own Ontario and most of Quebec. The Bloc Quebecois was our last official opposition, but they lost popularity in the last election.

I don't have any pirated MP3s. If I was in the USA, I'd have many, many GB of pirated MP3s, but here it's legal as long as I don't trade them.

Apparently, you can. I don't know the details, visit their website. Maybe the governments website (http://www.gc.ca/)

The Second World War started BEFORE Pearl Harbor. It started in 1939.

SUVs bother me. Why would you buy anything like that? Gas just shot up almost 10c a litre here, and this is where gas is "cheap"!
People in Canada like manuals more. In the States, where middle aged women are buying more and more cars, the standard is becoming automatic. Because Canada imports ALL its cars, we don't have a choice but to accept what's going on down in America.

I think the Sony Viao supports all those in at least one if its models.

Nope, the LEVY applies to all CDRs, it's just MORE for the "Audio" CDRs. 5c for normal blanks, and like $1-2 for the "Audio" cds.
Uh, she was Canada's first Queen. She was the one who signed the Dominion of Canada into being. She meant nothing to the Brits.
That means nothing. She doesn't even have much power in Britain. Explain to me why it makes us un-free.
Odd, I've never noticed any difference in flavour. Is that what you're talking about, or is the caffiene content higher up here?
