I didn't actually skim the comments so if this gets nuked redundant it wouldn't surprise me. Back when Volvo first released their diesel intercooled turbo's here in North America, people were stepping on the gas and wrapping them around trees, and other cars. mid-HP, high torque, lots of kick. For sale in North America they had to have the intercoolers adjusted after the first model year.
So no, they're not gutless. If you can get an S70 made before '98 you're in for a happy surprise too.
Opiates & Cocaine are not the choice of drugs in Japan. However other drugs such as pot, hash, LSD, and MDMA are. High standard of life? Meh. If you consider working yourself into the ground, day in, day out, and attempting to stay ahead of the grind a high standard sure.
Seriously, there's a reason why Japan has one of the highest suicide rates(properly calculated) in the world. And Japan is very good at 'recalculating' their rates to show less in their true crime figures.
Access does not equal retained. Repeat that after me. If you don't understand that, there's no hope for you. Welcome to the cold, cold world of reality. American police don't have direct access to CPIC FYI, no American agency does. They still have to request information the old fashioned way. If you have information in the US via the internal US system, well that means you've managed to get on the internal databases, that means you've been stopped, are already on the watch lists in Canada and there via sharing for criminal data, etc.
And keeping information on you for witness/talk/etc via incident reports is not the same as criminal reports. Not even in the same league. Speaking of which if you live in Canada, and want to see yours, you can go to your local police service and get it.
Unless you're amazing enough to actually show up on a CSIS or RCMP watch list, then you're not getting your information shared with other governments. If you're at that point already, then there's a national security issue for nations which you're friendly with. Figure that one out yet?
So here's a big surprise, personal information of 10m citizens that are silly enough to post it is actually a rather big issue. And not to forget that the privacy act does exist for a reason, but I'm sure you've already read it and know what it means like most people who have a passing interest in law. Because if you didn't, you wouldn't understand the first part I posted.
Someone who reports directly to the house and senate is beholden to them. This means committees not individual people like normal bureaucrats, which means there is a much higher level of standard regarding issues when push comes to shove in a body like this. The privacy commissioner is not a regulatory agency like the CRTC, it's an actual oversight board and committee meant to safeguard the privacy of the citizens of Canada.
My video card from 9 years ago had analog out, so no question. The new card I got today has analog out, and HDMI out. There's sub $60 cards that have that on it now, and no shortage of motherboards in both nVidia and ATI flavor that have HDMI out as well for those who like it. At worst it may require a HDMI>analog converter box. But if you're going that far, you might as well just buy one of the fancy new 25" or bigger HDMI TV's.
How does a gaming rig get virus/malware when not connected to the internet? I know half a dozen people who have two or more machines for just that, a few families with kids have gaming and work machines. And yet if you do decide to go that route, you have two options: Locked servers, and unlocked. Wow gee...imagine that, some people actually enjoy playing outside the bounds. The day of the expensive PC is over, and has been for years. The real barriers in a lot of cases are the OS at $largeamountsofmoney(see up $300/pop for the new Win7). Because no one wants to use a linux distro that doesn't work with their for games.
If a rig doesn't work, you can send it back too. Big shock, most kits have a 3 year warranty in Canada. If they don't where you live, sorry for you I guess. Yes please do get some perspective, it's called not taking it up the backside repeatedly for someone saying: "Well that map looks alright." Then again if you have more money then brains, I suppose it's not a problem.
Yes it does. The PC is an open platform. You can do whatever you want. The console is locked down tight and you can only get content by paying Microsoft.
That in itself would be the main reason I would never own a console these days. While I did have one back in the early days of NES before the cube, that's all cartridges. The problem is, you're paying for the same content that some are getting for free under the 'pass, clean, and then go' label.
While I realize that not all kids of today are the main console players, this form of stuff is just setting people up for the next generation of micropayments. It's not like it hasn't been tried with other stuff, eventually one of two things will happen. People will get pissed off over the lack of content, and start moving back to the PC en-mass, after all cheap gaming rigs can be made for sub $500 these days. Or, they'll try to nail PC users the same, in which case I'll hazard that PC users for the most part will go. Ho-Hum and ignore it like usual, because alot of us are crotchety, cranky, old asses who like our money.
Apparently you've never been to other parts of the world. They can do it in parts of Canada. No one gives a shit, and that's in a "public" space. Personally this reeks of money grab but what do I know I'm already in my 30's, and simply don't care anymore.
Used to be 6 or so years ago that I was able to run on the standard 24/7 sleep work week. Now I'm on a 36hr day, I'm not sure why or where it happened but it did. Let me just say that it can be fun, but annoying as all piss too, it generally means that I'm a night person. Which is great for me, my brain has always worked better at night.
Now if they could figure it out why I can't get to sleep on a proper cycle, I'd be much happier.
I actually didn't know we were the toughest. I'mnot sure if I should or should not be proud of that. But either way, it's respectable.
The privacy act(federal legislation), is a pretty interesting bit of work. Applies to everyone, no matter what. Applies to all levels of government, law enforcement and the rest. If businesses want something they have to grovel for it, if you want it removed they have to do it. If the police want something, they have to show just cause(which can make it really hard to get some types of warrants). Then there's provincial legislation as well, which builds on top.
Personally I'm quite happy with it. Now if we could just get some of our regulatory bodies working as well as the privacy commissioner we'd be doing better in other areas.
That's because we have some of the toughest and harshest privacy laws in the world. Including the storage of personal information, and ways to uniquely identify people.
GrindGrindGrind Also requires that tag. That's an Asian MMO, very work oriented, aiming for a specific goal with a long train that you need to follow through. It's very high on the skinner box. For most western gamers, we enjoy a reasonable amount of time with a reasonable return for that time. Either some type of reward, enjoyment, etc. It just seems to go on...forever.
Truth. Not only that but there are people still coming into this. I'm working towards my amateur here in Canada, and I'll be glad to get it. For those of us who live in the middle of no where, this stuff is our only lifeline when everything else fails(see ice storms, blizzards, and other natural disasters like floods).
In some cases the one child policy isn't true. This should be pointed out as an example of what money can buy you in the modern China. "Anything" from the corrupt bureaucracy. Just make sure no one is looking.
The CRTC is a reglatory body, so if they're found in violation of their broadcaster/provider license they can be fined for breeching those terms and be hit with a stiff fine. Reglatory bodies are outside the normal 'criminal' channels in the way fines and such work in Canada. Chances are one of two things here, either they've renegotiated their license since then and are allowed to do it now, or someone is trying to be sneaky and pull the same shit again. In which case they'll try to pull a "Oops, honest mistake." And they'll try to avoid getting slapped with antoher fine.
No one can hear you because, they all think that because a news organization is has slant in a particular direction, the ownership is the same way. The same follows through with the reporters.
Don't worry then. It's the same paper it always was and it's content hasn't shifted. The same people write for it, and the opinion section is full of insane jackasses. And if you think it's frothing in bias, you can take your pick of a dozen other "liberal" media outlets which are still full of insane jackasses. And still continuing to froth in bias.
Personally, despite all the naysaying and complaints over shitty interface and all the rest. This is probably the way information systems will go in the eventual future. KISS(Keep It Simple Stupid), with an easy to use interface that anyone can navigate, with simple controls, with easy to read screens that can be directly manipulated in any shape or form.
Where everyone else who needs more input, with more information will use a higher frame of output from the device, or specialized controls that are accessible from a submenu. Simple as that, it will get dumber, it will get stupider, and get used to it as more people need to use technology.
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah I mean that translation was difficult. It's the same version they sell in Canada.
That only happens 3/5 times, and it can be fixed by not using the gas peddle.
I didn't actually skim the comments so if this gets nuked redundant it wouldn't surprise me.

I have 10 years of Karma to burn. After all it's good to be bad.

There's a lolzcatz party? Who knew.
200,000mi on my '96 saturn and it's still pushing 35mpg. Yeah good cars, too bad Saturn as it is probably won't be around. My next car is a diesel.
Canadian clams, we need to mix it up a little bit this year.
