  1. Re:Something important from Canada on Canadians To Douse Chinese Firewall · · Score: 1

    Sure we do! Or perhaps the correct tense is DID... The Bricklin

    Although I don't think the Bricklin could be considered a source of pride in any country :)

  2. Re:CMS Made Simple on How To Choose An Open Source CMS · · Score: 1

    Having evaluated many CMS products, CMSmadesimple was the best choice for us as well. We wanted a CMS that would allow us to simply copy and paste content from our existing site into the new CMS system. Except for 2 or 3 pages, we had converted the entire site over in less than 3 hours. I was very impressed, and with its simple interface, I can now delegate updates to the most tech-unsavvy people at work. I would definitely recommend it.

  3. Re:"... and even Canada"?-- Its policy. on America's Not So Up to Speed · · Score: 1

    Bullshit. What about the aboriginal people who live in the cities? Have you seen the east end of Vancouver recently around Pigeon Park? Highest rate of HIV positive drug users in the world and so dangerous the police won't even do anything about it. That area is worse than any slum in the US I have seen.

    Free health care? Sure, if you are willing to wait months for a service that I (and many others) am more than willing to pay for. Welfare system? The system that ensures no one tries to find a job because unless it pays 10 dollars an hour or more, you end up making more staying on welfare?

    Yes, Canada is great for many things. But let's face it... for the taxes we pay, we should be getting a LOT more. Personally, I would rather pay a lot less tax and choose the services I want.

    There is a middle ground somewhere between the two countries that is better than both systems.

  4. Re:It can be a bit more complicated than that on Microsoft Releases Public Beta of Data Protection · · Score: 1

    not that I have ever detected running a number of different anti-spyware programs on my PC. It is a great program.

  5. Re:how does it compare to Norton Ghost on Microsoft Releases Public Beta of Data Protection · · Score: 1

    it costs 50 dollars, isn't beta, and it works :)

    Seriously, Ghost 9 is great, and creates images without the need to reboot your PC/Server. Picked up that ability from Drive Image when Symantec bought out Powerquest.

  6. Re:Am I missing something? on Microsoft Releases Public Beta of Data Protection · · Score: 1

    Just curious, as we are looking at a similar strategy, but what happens when the server hardware dies, and you need to replace with new and different hardware? The OS won't boot if the hardware is considerably different... you will probably end up with a BSOD, right?
