If what I am remembering from my Bio days is correct, they only take in CO2 and produce O2 when lit. In the dark, they must use O2 like you and I.
I think you are correct. They consume the energy they produced through photosynthesis and O2. But when lit most plants will produce more energy than they consume during night.
Don't make fun of Albertans. I agree with making fun of Stockwell Day. But don't bring the westerner fact into it. If it wasn't for us, the east's gas prices would be 5/3 of what they are now. (I know that figure is exagurated, but whatever)
There will be more than one strian of Human, eventually. Evolution dictates that humans will have to change. Some babies will be born adapted to high-G, and prosper, while babies not adapted will perish. Natural Selection. The strong will survive. The earth-humans will survive on earth, and probably not be able to interbreed with alien humans. This will of course take a VERY long time.
To me it would make more sense to use plant protists. They photosynthesize, creating energy, in some cases nitrates which are needed to live, food for animals, and Oxygen through their cellular breathing. Most of you would know that plants consume CO2 and produce O2.
This would terraform Mars, slowly like what happend to earth, making it habitable for humans.
Personally speaking as a Canadian, and being fully bi-lingual (speaking only english at home while speaking only french at school), what I think is that these unicode/high ascii/national letters should be allowed only under the TLDs of their respective countries. IE, montrél.ca, DeutschegegenfranzösischeFreiheit.de etc. This would make it easy for yankees to go to their treasured com/org/net sites while still allowing national letters.
I was thinking once it's network card came out, that it could be used as a diskless X machine with staroffice and Netscape, saving (StarOffice) files onto the VMU so they can be copied to your friend's DreamCasts.
In short, turn it into a useful computer, which can "dual boot" to play games.
Ontario is just like the northern US, however the western provinces (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and BC) are all quite different from the US. We have different values, ie, sex on TV is okay, violence is not. Speaking as someone from Saskatchewan and having spend signifigant amount of time in North Dakota and Montana I know these things are true.
I am going into grade 12 next year, in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. When I was in grade nine, we took a course called "Computer Applications" which involved typing in ClarisWorks on a Mac Classic. Fun.
Grade 10, however was a little more advanced, well actually a lot more advanced. We learned QBasic on those same Mac Classics, we got a new Comp Sci teacher that year who was actually very good. We worked at our own pace, every now and then he'd give us a new concept (Which I already knew in C) for us to chew on. We would have tests farily often. The class was fun, mostly because of the students, but also a good teacher.
In grade 11 I didn't take Computer Science because I didn't feel I'd learn anything I didn't already know. And from what I hear from my friends, I was right. That year focused mostly on Pascal, on the brand new Celeron 400/NT machines our school bought. Towards the end of the class they touched on C, apparently. One of the final projects of the class was building a computer (PC) from scratch. Nice class:)
Grade 12 will be interesting. They are replacing another one of the Mac labs with an updated PC lab (More C400s), that will be fun, however this time, I'm going to step in and make at least one of the machines run some form of Unix.
All in all, our highschool computer program teaches the basics of how a computer works, and it has been good. All execpt introducing some people to PowerPoint. People at school do not know how to use PowerPoint very well, and it gets old fast, especially when they replace content with novelty./P
Regina sucks.. If you live in Saskatchewan, live in Saskatoon! Bigger, friendlier, and you can drink the water:) (For our out of province people, Regina water traditionally has been horrible, about 10 years ago I was there, and it was yellow) But to be fair, they've cleaned it up quite a bit.
I rather doubt that there are many vendors of StrongARM motherboards in Saskatoon; it is not a city generally considered a "hotbed" of embedded systems development. They've got potash (somewhere), wheat, and some heavy oil. A whole whopping lot of roads to maintain, and with a not-increasing-very-quickly tax base, increasing demands by the Indian community, and younger folk apparently migrating to other provinces, this does not lead to good things. (My dad grew up in North Battleford, and moved to Ottawa "as soon as he could.")
Well, relative to other cities it's size, it is a hotbed for computer technology. We are apparently the birthplace of the commercial modem (I may be mistaken here, it's just what I'm told) Saskatoon does have Potash, and lots of it, so lets face it, Bridge city has a primarily agricultural based economy. But next to N.B, this place is paradise:)
Yes, US English is more widely used than UK English, but in schools around the world, except in the US, it is still UK English that's being taught, and in official business in Europe, Asia and Africa, when English is required, UK English is used.
Except in Canada. Here Canadian english is used. Canadian English is rare outside Canada, and most Americans don't even know it exists. But it our official language.
I do agree on the height of taxes, though... But then again, taxes are what make a welfare state.
Canadian Tire - about the only place you, as a consumer, can buy a fanbelt for your car. Service sucks, prices are high, and the fanbelt will fray and fail while you're on the 401 two weeks later. It's all that Ontario rubber. That has got to be it. Here, I have never had a problem with CT fanbelts. They are usually the brand Ford/Chrysler/GM recommend for their vehicles. CT is a a monopoly I will support. So is my Telco and Cabel providers. They actually keep prices low. Crown corporations usually do. (MS and Corel however are not owned by the crown, so that may change)
What our american friend here doesn't understand is that in Canada right now, the biggest problem is not the French, Blacks, or whatever other minority the americans think are a problem. It's the Natives. There is a huge power struggle right now after we stripped some of their indian benefits (No PST, etc)
OS/2 Warp is what came with it. Runs nicely, Fast and stable. Good for it's vintage as well:) One of these days I'll get it an ethernet card and work on the OpenBSD MCA support.
I have an IBM MCA machine. It's a P133 with 96 megs of ram, and three four gig SCSI hard drives. I got it for free from a local company. Runs OS/2 Warp fine.
Here in Saskatoon, everybody has Cable. EVERYBODY!!! It is the shits because all these people are stealing my bandwidth. At least there is a dedicated cable router for just about every block here though. But the problem is every time a few more people get cable net access, they take most of the network down in the effected regions for a couple of hours for upgrades.

As a general rule, Canada uses the US as a testbed for new laws. If they work there, we may adopt it, but if it doesn't, we won't.
For the record, Canada also makes its own laws. We just copy the US when it works.If what I am remembering from my Bio days is correct, they only take in CO2 and produce O2 when lit. In the dark, they must use O2 like you and I. I think you are correct. They consume the energy they produced through photosynthesis and O2.

Better you than us :)

People would drink LESS beer. There is less resistance to the alchohol flowing through their veins therefore needing less :)

Well, for linux people who want 3D accelerator support agp gart is available. There are also tonnes of bugfixes, and other new features.

Where in Saskatoon can you get these things?
I'd like to try one sometime, see if I can get quakeforge running on NetBSD (I'm the OpenBSD maintainer for QuakeForge)Don't forget "Humour, valour, labour, favourite, flavour, etc... Don't know if all those are UK english, but they are Canadian English.

I'm both :) Je m'appelle Dan, et je suis Canadien. My name is Dan, and I am Canadian.
It is coming. Take a look look at the web site. There is a project going on to bring SMP to i386 and sparc.

FreeBSD supports USB Nics and PPoE. You could try that if you don't want to go to Windows.
