Actually, as someone who commutes to and from Toronto from the 905 area (namely Bramalea), the GO train only goes into Toronto from around 6:00am to just after lunch, and sometimes its an hour or two between trains during the off-rush hour times. Leaving Toronto to get back home at night, the last train out is at 6:45. The only train line that goes in and out of Toronto from the wee hours of the morning to late at night is the Lakeshore line, which is useless to most commuters anywhere north of the line.
With the amount of congestion on the 400 series highways, you'd think the government's priority would be to increase the mass public tranist infrastructure, but apparently just adding more roads and highways is their solution.
I saw a piece on this last night on a local station and the question came up of artist compensation. Whoever they were talking to said that on a $1.00 music purchase, the artist would be receiving $0.20.
The problem with that is having something that is released before it's actually ready. Debian thrives on it's stability and to force a release date may comprimise this. I for one would rather have the new Debian release when it's ready, and not any sooner.
I can speak first hand as a 3rd student that many, many students would indulge themselves in "checking", "comparing" or "proofing" other peoples code in 1st year. We only had Teaching Assistants checking over the work, so most of them got away with it. Many nights just before an assignment or project was due, there'd be one rez room which had 5-6 compsci students in it, working away at the code and then forwarding it off to each other to alter.
Now, there are only so many ways to do certain tasks, and that's why our profs told us the only way to prove we didn't just copy the code was to DOCUMENT it all properly. This was a pain for all of us that did it on our owns, but made us better for it and the heaviest offenders were caught (try explaining exact code and documentation).
But this activity isn't just in comp sci classes. I switched over to finance after the first semester, but kept a minor in CS. Same activities can be seen in the group study area of the library 2-3 hours before an assignment is due. I know I'll be walking away with something more than a piece of paper after spending 50K+ canadian on my education.

What amazes me more than the back-to-back dupe is that they had different headings and descriptions instead of the usual cut-and-paste.

I can't wait for the home game version.
