I use a Palm Treo with Windows Mobile 5 regularly and it crashes ALL THE TIME. It will become unable to respond to user input, unable to connect to the network despite a signal, etc.
I have rebooted more times than I care to mention. It is definitely buggy.
Is it just me or is collecting a bunch of energy that wouldn't have reached earth, i.e. it would have bounced off of cloud cover or shot off into space, and then bringing down to earth not going to increase the amount of energy in the biosphere and thus increase the heat of the earth?
The US spends more on its military than the rest of the world COMBINED. As a matter of percentage of GDP the Canadian government spends less than other NATO members on average, but we spend more than Israel does in dollar terms (bet you wouldn't have guessed that one).
Truth is Canada spends less on our military because WE DON'T HAVE TO. With the cold war over there is no immediate threat to our country. Unlike the US we don't try to project our national policies externally for the most part so we don't need 12 nuclear powered aircraft carriers etc.
Having said that to address your main point this is not the reason why we have a budget surplus. Canada used to have a small military AND a budget deficit because we had lots of wasted spending on social programs and not enough revenue. We increased some taxes and ALSO cut spending and now everything is golden (similar to the state of affairs in the US in the late 90s). That you guys blew the opportunity to be in a smiliar situation by massively cutting taxes and increasing discretionary spending is your own fault, don't blame it on military expenditures.
What if AbiWord or OOo implements the standard except for these tags and then they receive a file with such a tag populated?
Do you ignore it or do you blow up?
If you ignore it does that mean the file will look different?
Can MS say they are more compatible to customers because they are the only ones that implement the whole standard?
Is there anything stopping them from populating such flags when saving in Office 2017 and thus rendering a bunch of other apps useless, or weird looking (which for business users is the same thing)?
Why don't you Read Guns Germs and steel before you spout off. The reason native americans didn't invent the wheel is because is because they had no use for it - there were _0_ species that could be used as beasts of burden to use with a wheeled vehicle - no horses no cattle (buffalo cannot be domesticated btw).
FYI the Aztecs DID invent the wheel - they used it in children's toys since that at least had some use.
The British, French and yes AMERICANS didn't invent the wheel either - they inherited it.
I am talking about percentage of PEOPLE living in rural areas not the actual amount of non-paved area. Rural is Rural if PEOPLE LIVE THERE. The percentage of PEOPLE living in RURAL areas in Canada compared to URBAN areas in Canada IS similar to those of the US:
So that means that while there are ~25 million of us spread out across this strip (btw its cause it's warmer not because we love you so much), the remaining 8 million are spread out across northern Alberta, PEI, Newfoundland and the arctic.
Canada and US have similar Rural/Urban percentages so why is the US behind - its a fair question.
You seem to have missed the point that the jet had no passengers (other than the pilots) and that it wasn't doing anything useful in the air. It's like I drove the same route they did and didn't stop to see the sites or do anything at all and then when home. Both scenarios are a wicked waste of fuel.
To be totally fair though you did invade a foreign land first in that war. Washington was also burned as retaliation for the burning and pillaging of Newark, Upper Canada (now Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario).
The only, somewhat small, caveat (besides salinity differences between sea ice and sea water) is that if the north pole is devoid of ice then most of Greenland, Baffin Island and Ellesmere island will also be devoid of ice raising the sea level 20 feet at least.
Say goodbye to Miami, most of southern Florida, a lot of Manhattan, and whatever is left of New Orleans.
Observing network neutrality for 3 1/4 years is not a concession it's just an inconvenience, after the time is up they can start building the internet toll road they have been dreaming of for years.
Politicians always agree to these dumb time limits without thinking long term. The internet will be around for a hell of a lot longer than 40 months and they should understand that - the telcos sure as hell do.
The problem isn't the CAPS LOCK key it is the POSITION of the Caps Lock Key.
Solution: move the key from where it is now (where it is RARELY used by most people and due to its location is often mis-hit), to a more suitable location, e.g. beside the insert/delete keys or the funtion keys that almost no one accidently hits.
This way those people who NEED the caps key still have it, those who don't won't mis hit it.
The problem is that CAPS LOCK was put where it is now to coincide with SHIFT-LOCK on most typewriters and word processors. The SHIFT-LOCK key on these devices however could NOT be accidently pressed because the key would PHYSICALLY depress when you hit it providing instant feedback (and you had to press down with some pressure).
Having an easily accessible CAPS LOCK and SHIFT LOCK made sense then because back in the day because many docs used ALL CAPS to highlight text since there was no bold, italics, or different fonts avaiable. Nowadays the key is useless for 90+% of people so it should be moved to less important real estate (but still be accessible).
The technology could potentially provide a solution to water shortages both in the United States, where populations are expected to soar in areas with few freshwater sources
I thought the southwest, particularly Nevada, New Mexico and Arizona, was where the population is going to boom and there are water shortages. Don't these areas have water shortages PERIOD, as opposed to just shortages of FRESH water?
- Bush jumos line in Texas National Guard - Bush gets reassigned to Alabama National Guard - Bush lets his flight status lapse after failing to keep it up, thus wasting millions in taspayer money - There is no record of Bush being on the base and he spends most of his time helping run a political campaign - Bush gets reprimand in writing regarding his poor performance - Bush runs for Congress, loses - Bush runs for Governor - Bush's records in National Guard, which are highly critical are 'clensed' according to witness who saw many items thrown in the garbage - One of the people who witnessed this likely forged a document using word that was a reproduction of one of the trashed documents that was highly critical of Bush's performance - CBS believes the forgery after getting various witnesses to go on the record that such a document, and others, was written about Bush during his time in the Alabama National Guard - CBS gets professionals to analyze the authenticity of the document - A right-wing blogger points out that the doc was likely in Word - CBS denies this, produces THE SECRETARY OF THE GENRAL WHO WROTE THE DOCUMENT to confirm that she wrote such a document regarding Bush among others - The firestorm continues - CBS is forced to admit in the face of growing evidence that the documents are indeed forgeries - Dan Rather resigns his post
Now say what you will, but IMHO Bush got away with being essentially a deserter who performed poorly during his service by using his political connections to clense his background. CBS was wrong to print the story but THE STORY WAS TRUE. The document was a forgery but its content was accurate, which is bad but clearly not as bad a what Bush's connections did by destroying the original. Had there been no forged document but merely the content and the testimony of the secretary this story would have been FAR different.
The 'Nemesis' theory is decades old, Isaac Asimov even wrote a book using this premise in the '80s!
When you are scooped by a work of fiction that is over 16 years old, you either have some serious problems with you research dept. or it is a VERY slow news day.
I looked it up: PROBE was an official spin-off of Doctor Who which aired on the BBC, thus it was NOT created by fans. It did not feature the Doctor or anyone meant to be him, instead it featured his assistant as part of a group of scientists. It wasn't a regular series but rather it was a run of 5 TV films.

It depends what you mean by a 'joke'. :P

Canada is about 75% urban:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada
And the so is the U.S.:
http://www.census.gov/population/censusdata/urpop
With similar percentages you would expect similar uptake of HSI, but you don't have that because of various factors.
You seemed to have missed my comment about the US and Canada having similar Urban/Suburban ratios.
I shouldn't feed the trolls but...
u know.pdf
The number of Canadians within 100 miles of the US border is only 75%:
http://canada.usembassy.gov/content/can_usa/didyo
So that means that while there are ~25 million of us spread out across this strip (btw its cause it's warmer not because we love you so much), the remaining 8 million are spread out across northern Alberta, PEI, Newfoundland and the arctic.

Very astute.
Now kindly explain why Canada has greater broadband adoption than the U.S.

FYI, despite what it says in Pulp Fiction, it's called a "Royale Cheese" (no with) in France. For the record the Royale Deluxe is much better.

Can of coke 14 years ago lets say ~$.75
Compounded interest of 14% over 14 years would make that $4.69 - yeah that's totally reasonable.

Since you can't spell the word "so" I think you are not allowed to participate in the debate any further.

The facts of the case are as follows:
- Bush jumos line in Texas National Guard
- Bush gets reassigned to Alabama National Guard
- Bush lets his flight status lapse after failing to keep it up, thus wasting millions in taspayer money
- There is no record of Bush being on the base and he spends most of his time helping run a political campaign
- Bush gets reprimand in writing regarding his poor performance
- Bush runs for Congress, loses
- Bush runs for Governor
- Bush's records in National Guard, which are highly critical are 'clensed' according to witness who saw many items thrown in the garbage
- One of the people who witnessed this likely forged a document using word that was a reproduction of one of the trashed documents that was highly critical of Bush's performance
- CBS believes the forgery after getting various witnesses to go on the record that such a document, and others, was written about Bush during his time in the Alabama National Guard
- CBS gets professionals to analyze the authenticity of the document
- A right-wing blogger points out that the doc was likely in Word
- CBS denies this, produces THE SECRETARY OF THE GENRAL WHO WROTE THE DOCUMENT to confirm that she wrote such a document regarding Bush among others
- The firestorm continues
- CBS is forced to admit in the face of growing evidence that the documents are indeed forgeries
- Dan Rather resigns his post

If you remember the 2004 Tsunami as an important event of 2005, then I guess you have other things to worry about.
As a Canadian currently living in Texas I have to ask this:
If this is how you feel, WHY THE F*CK did you move back?!?!
Unlike Lucas Spielberg gives a sh*t about his fans, and the history of film:
He released the original version of E.T. on DVD in a package with the update.
I looked it up: PROBE was an official spin-off of Doctor Who which aired on the BBC, thus it was NOT created by fans. It did not feature the Doctor or anyone meant to be him, instead it featured his assistant as part of a group of scientists. It wasn't a regular series but rather it was a run of 5 TV films.
I think the name of the show was PROBE or something similar, it was a spinoff from John Pertwee's Doctor. It was the British 1970's X-Files. :P
