I was just thinking that. Any large urban area with many people using a wireless router, preferably 802.11n, should or could set up a mesh network, if there were several thousand I wonder how easy it would be for users to hop from several routers to surf the mesh network and browse files on someone's home PC based website. Almost like the old BB days.
So anyone who writes down words is a journalist? That's a rather broad definition.
I'd say it should only be a person who has some sort of formal education in journalism (ethics, critical thinking etc.) and does it as their sole occupation.
Maybe the question should be who is not a journalist.
"Oh, and if you're wondering why some of your colleagues showed up late for work yesterday, it's because many devices-even patched devices-shifted an hour ahead Sunday, when the change would have normally taken place."
That's what happened where I work, the systems were patched for the time change on the new date, things were going smoothly but then the time changed again on the usual date and then everything was an hour ahead, it was patched for that!
As for the saved power, I don't know but it cost a lot of sweat an aggravation where I work. People here, South Eastern Canada, did seem to like the change of having more light in the evening when they got off work.
It's all those NASA SUVs (Science Utility Vehicles) driving around on Mars, that are causing Mars global warming. All they need is a small two wheel drive soil sampler or even the old lander but nooo they have to get the latest SUV just to impress all their friends.
Here in Canada (or at least where I live) nobody is allowed to speed or go through a red light, citizen, police, fire or ambulance; the law applies to everyone.
I remember seeing a guy on the local news who made a lens like that, maybe not exactly the same but I know it folded into very small sections. I know he was a University student in Halifax somewhere, but seeing that there are dozens of Universities in Halifax that's a bit vague.
With a name such as Tremblay (a very common East coast Canadian name) it's probably the same guy, maybe he moved to the US.
I'm considering refusing any requests to help anyone (friends, relatives) that uses Vista. In fact since I am not going to, and not able to, upgrade my Windows box (rarely used) to Vista I may not know about new features or methods anyway.
I'd recommend Ubuntu but it's still only 95% ready as far as I am concerned, I can't picture an aunt using it there are some difficulties to overcome especially file permissions I can't imagine how to explain that to someone who is barley comfortable with just web browsing and e-mail.
I looked at Statscan website and there are 21 million people between the ages of 15 and 59 years who may have a computer and high speed access. I'm sure most are not very Web/Internet literate enough to be able to download and burn a movie let alone record it with a camera and then convert it and make a torrent of it. So say about half of them, 10 million people (a large city), can do such a thing and then divide that number by the amount of movies released per year, those people are responsible for 50% of all movies "pirated" in the World?
I agree with a previous comment it's got to have something to do with Hollywood and MP Bev "do-anything-for-money" Oda.
Ah Ha! I was just thinking about that but I couldn't remember where I saw it. I knew it was from here (Canada) but other than that I couldn't remember... either that or I blocked it from my memory.

Yes, and there is a company down the street from me that makes them, I live in Canada 12,000 miles away from Japan but the company does very well selling small pre-fabricated homes. We have the lumber and Japan has the customers.
When I see arguments against the Metric system it's reminds me so much of people arguing why Windows is better than Linux (or anything open source), the argument is about apples and oranges. Linux isn't Windows and Metric isn't Imperial. Sure Metric and Imperial are measurement systems but you can't complain one inch and one centimeter are different, of course they are!
What's easier to remember, there are 1,000 meters in a kilometer or 5,280 feet in a mile?

You like when your MP considers you guilty until you're proven innocent?
I thought that was "Where the men are men and the sheep are lying little sluts!"

Physical exertion? Explain this concept.
I believe there is, or was, already a game that used your thoughts or it may have measured galvanic skin response, it was called Mind Bowling.
Was it a three stage firing?
I was thinking about the Amiga too.

"several response are possible"
Talk. Like. Cave. Man.
Isn't there a carbon nanotube type molecule that's tougher than diamond? I've read about it but I forget the name of it.
Then again it's all just carbon anyway.
Ah ha! Found it... http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn7926

Imagine a Firefox exploit that installed a copy of Windows! The horror, 30 days of hell watching a yellow balloon.
Keep it away from stray neutrons! (someone had to say it)

Captain Copyright
Yeah this guy at this link you submitted is using the same name:
Captain Copyright
Is Captain Copyright copyrighted? lmao

Maybe Timbaland is hoping this will all blow over, that it's just a "Tempest" in a Teapot ;)

Pfft Youtube ...pornotube is where it's at!
"and the debris was not believed to be hazardous"
A ton of hot metal falling out of the sky going Mach 1 is certainly not hazardous...it's lethal.
