I wouldn't exactly call that up north, Edmonton is farther north than that.
I mean way up north above the Arctic circle, somewhere in Nunavut, or the famous Snag Yukon where it was -81.4F, Ellesmere Island, the Alert military base.
The Arctic is dry, cold and barren. The west Antarctic is the coldest part of Antarctica but I don't think it's any worse than the Arctic except for the solar radiation in the middle, but even that is just slightly worse than what's at the equator.
You'd be surprised how quickly you could adapt. I mean when it's -25C here and there's no wind, it can be quite nice.
You've never been to northern Canada have you? It's been done.
The only reason Antarctica has no people living there permanently is most nations agreed not to...didn't they? Other than reasearch *cough*colonization*cough* by some nations, there's no one living there.
Hollywood used to make pretty good movies now they churn out crap, in two weeks people catch on but by then new stuff is out. Same goes for the Indian software industry I'd say.
I'm not sure if I imagined this or actually read about it.
A 20,000 foot hole was supposed to have been dug near where I live during WW II in a desperate effort to find oil. There is oil and gas around here, and there has been some exploration in the last ten years Sable Island to the south and Hibernia to the East (apparently a bullseye for US rocket debris!).
Here is the area: Hillsborough Bay map. Near Govenor's Island (switch to map from Satellite image to see names.)
I wonder if it would work for people who lost their larynx and who have to use those vibrator things to speak. Just have a speaker with a natural sounding voice and use it that way, to speak. It would look freaky, maybe a way to put a peaker in the mouth would help. Then again if the surgery removed the larynx maybe there's no muscle respone to detect.
If you think you have to research whether children exposed to sexualy explicit and violent video games are affected by them, then it's you who needs to have their head examined! They affect me, and I'm 35!
My phone service is with Vonage but I was able to get it only because of a fluke.
My province (PEI) shares an area code with a neighbouring province (Nova Scotia), they are able to get VoIP but really my province isn't supposed to (even though we share the same area code?!?). I even e-mailed Vonage to ask them and they wrote back saying I couldn't get it since my city wasn't in NS.
Before all that I saw a Vonage kit at the local Staples store thinking it was available here.
Anyway I have a "local" number which is for a city 400km away. Even if Vonage called the local police they would be 400km away in a different province and city.
The phone service is cheaper than my local providers that's why I have it, just for fun really. Also, I have a cell phone too so I'm not in danger.

I've always thought it would be cool to invent a super tough computer system, sort of a tablet PC, and drop them from an airplane by the hundreds. They'd be solar powered, water and dirt proof, crush proof, have a satellite/modem/vhf/uwb/whatever-the-hell-works link for Internet access (it's only purpose).
Make it as basic as possible so anyone could use it and be able to communicate and not be shut off from the world. People could email each other, IM, view uncensored news...be free.

I for one am amazed for CS savy and speeches given to the conference. No one can say that or talk about a difference they have between the storie
Easy, it's the lack of Fuel.
The combined mass will use more fuel to maintain orbit.

Laser beam controlled fruit flies. Welcome to the future my friends.
I wonder if this will work on people. Geek + that really bright green laser from ThinkGeek = date?

"Moho" (division between Earth's brittle outer crust and the hotter, softer mantle)
Not to be confused with Soho, NY where the bitchy upper crust and the hot artsy type meet.

Sort of like Return to the Planet of the Apes? The advanced humans would raise their eybrows nod their head forward and you'd hear them talk.
The US media couldn't even show Janet Jackson's boob on TV. It was on the national evening news here in Canada in all it's jiggling glory.
Take that you prudes!
This is my house! Right, left, right, left. On the left 2nd house :P

You took the words right out of my mouth! The state of California makes Canada look right-wing.
Someone from the US is interested in Canadian politics? Weird.
Real life is even more bizarre. The Beatles sued Apple for using the name Apple.
What month is this again? ;)
Affect me meaning I feel it's wrong to play a game where you kill a hooker as a fun activity!
A psychopath feels nothing in such a situation. Don't you feel it's wrong to feel pleasure killing, even in a video game?
If I'm unusual for feeling that way, well, I guess I'll have to live with having emotions.
If you think you have to research whether children exposed to sexualy explicit and violent video games are affected by them, then it's you who needs to have their head examined! They affect me, and I'm 35!
Was I the only one thinking this was a euphemism for dumping human waste from the Space Station?
Look on the bright side, it's nice to see that people are reading!
Gee thanks UPN. You treat your viewers like the products that your advertisers push.
To the cast and crew, everyone involved, of Enterprise it was a great show, I'm sorry to see it ended in such an idiotic way.
All bow to the holy Marijuana plant it can do no harm.
They are banning pitbull dogs in some cities here in Canada, I hope the former owners of the dogs aren't considering a T-rex instead!
My situation is even worse.
