  1. Re:Meanwhile in Quebec... on Australia Makes Asian Language Learning a Priority · · Score: 1

    I get the same feeling while I watch "English" TV programmes from the UK. It's so different from the english used in Canada and the USA that I can only understand half of it, unless I have subtitles.

    Right! PVC plastic that you can melt, extrude into filament and then use to 3D-print your gun!

    It was slow as hell, and I thought it must be due to the crappy ARM CPU until I noticed the animated ads all over the place.

    Remember, unlike the iPad, Android can run Flash!

    Enjoy!

    Your comment about needing shields to interface to the external world makes no sense, you'll need the same kinds of interfaces for the PC too.

    Apple wants to sell you hardware, services and content. You pay for everything.

    Google wants you to use their services. You're being sold to pay for everything.

    Ontario and Québec both have this thing called hydro-electricity, so cranking up to 23 in the winter doesn't apply.

    Seriously though... 23? Are you 70 or something?

    Alberta isn't 'digging' for oil. We are slowly separating British Columbia from the mainland.

    Thanks for the laugh.

    People are stuck on the words "blurry" vs "sharp" It's not SD vs HD at all.

    Apple's font rendering looks like print, Microsoft's font rendering looks like something from 1990.

    Apple's font rendering looks like HDTV, Microsoft's font rendering looks like VGA.

    "Thousands of copies". right. You're probably with the MPAA and you're full of shit.

    Most people would completely obliterate their monthly quota if they uploaded a single movie a thousand times.

    Apple's font rendering is not blurry, it's ClearType that's too damn sharp.

    Yes, if you switch from Windows to OS X, you'll think that Apple's font renderingis blurry but only for a few days or at most a few weeks. When you use Windows after that, you'll find that ClearType almost hurts to look at, a throwback to something from the 1990's.
