If Helium rises because it is less dense, would it be possible to force a balloon open, using some sort of supports, and end up with essentially a balloon filled with nothing, and thus able to rise? Or is this beyond current material science?
And there is one of the big problems with the CRTC allowing this. So sure, wholesalers that don't even use Bell's internet pipe, but provide their own, must play by the rules, but Bell can offer their retail customers a deal for $5.
Personally I'd like to see last mile run as a utility, then you find your own ISP.

I don't think I'm saving money or carbon emissions this way.
And if you take a break from bending over to enjoy your own farts you'll realize that CFL's are in fact quite harsh at times and not nearly as pleasant as the evil incandecsent bulbs.
One positive, though I miss visiting regular servers, is that you don't log into some new server only to find all these arbitrary limitations on what equipment you can use. (No martyrdom here pal, oh and no "noob tube", oh and if you kill us with anything else we'll ban that too...)
I think I got stung by the cancellation of like 3 gaming mags, each worst than the last, when I actually tried to subscribe to one. So I gave up for awhile.
Then, after the third month in a row, buying this "Edge" magazine deal from the UK for like $18.95 at Chapters, I finally pulled the trigger and subscribed. (expensive still but a lot cheaper than chapters)
Worth a shot if you're on this side of the pond and looking for something to read on the crapper!
Edge is the best gaming magazine I've read in years, it reminds me of the old Next Gen, but is probably better than that. You get previews where they, GASP, actually dare to say a game looks like it's probably going to suck. The reviews are well done, and they seem to use the full 1-10 scale. Plus you get long interesting articles on a variety of game industry stuff; retrospectives of older games, in depth looks at various game houses etc.
And it's actually more than a 10 page flyer! And not stuffed with ads.
It's just so expensive (like $80-$90 per year in Canada), but on the other hand it's pretty much the only mag I buy.
Wow you are like so rebellious and really stand out from the minless zombie sheep! I applaud your individuality! Thank you for saving us from the scourg
That's 5.6 liters/100km in Canada. A lot of cars seem to be in the 7-9 range. I wonder - are they going with silly existing measurements? Our family vehicle was rated at 8.8 lt/100km, and after a year or so the real mileage seems to be 13.4 lt/100km. It might get 10 on an extended highway drive at a reasonable speed.
I think most complaints are about the Federal Government. State governments can be bad as well, but when you get down to the municipal level, things can get a lot more efficient.
I want to move there and live there, but immigration would be an issue I assume (as a Canadian). So i'll probably have to wait until retirement and live their P/T like all the other snowbirds:)
I've been using Gimp (on Windows) for quite awhile, even use it for some 2D games and such. It's actually fairly easy to use. Now I've actually managed to click with Blender...tried it a few times over the years and I just couldn't quite "get it". But now that I'm rolling along with that it's quite exciting to be able to do so much for free! Especially since Autodesk seems to own everything else; so it doesn't look like affordable commercial packages will be out any time soon. I may have to donate to both of the projects, assuming they take donations. I own Zbrush 3, which looks like to will work well with Blender now that I know what I'm doing (somewhat). Yay OSS! Still using Windows there, so:P
In theory it is free; in practice (Ontario anyways), Bell is the gate keeper. And they don't really keep their gates fixed up very well, actually the gates are more like doggie doors and you can only fit half a person through per month (then they charge you extra). There are also a few cable companies - they have garage doors, but they might only let one person in at a time. (Fortunately we still have some resellers of DSL to help out, they'll give you a few gates and generally distract the gatekeeper while you get your stuff through...though Bell is on to them and with the help of the CRTC they might just close that "hole")

Ugh PFW...only one site left to switch to SAP...PFW is a PITA, would've been tolerable if they'd at least used a REAL database backend.
I got this tattoo on my forehead that says "poor impulse control"
As opposed to slowing down time if you feel like it?

But...the unwashed masses might PICK THE WRONG FONT...the horror...the horror...
Whoops had to comment to remove the accidental -ve modifying (mouse wheeling the dialog instead of the page)
Yeah, Bell is like Oh Noes our backhaul can't handle all this evil traffic! But at the same time, guess who's launching their own TV-over-IP services?

They've been wandering around there lately.
That sounds like Red Faction:Guerilla, though you can't assemble things - but it does have all the structural stuff you're referring to.

Reading that review was kind of like reading and reviews or something, I give it a 5 out of A. If you like games then the review. But it was good.

I forgot today was don't-bother-going-on-the-internet-day!
Though come to think of it; it's Zero Punctuation day, on April Fool's day. Wonder if we'll get something fun!

And we should wear robes, with hoods! And carry staffs...glowy ones (maybe wifi enabled?)
