Since the Government is always cutting spending on the CBC, I don't find it surprising at all. Their people seem to be generally intelligent and pretty good at working with what they have. Their on-air personalities are awesome too.
I've been waiting for a counterexample for a long time. Anyway, people have a choice over where they work. There are plenty of non-smoking workplaces out there.
I know plenty of people who work in bars that don't smoke. Not to mention restaurants, coffee shops, etc. But that's immaterial; I'm sure plenty of people have similar friends.
As for there being plenty of non-smoking workplaces out there, there are two reasons for that:
Legislation that bans smoking in workplaces; or
Business owners that are self-regulating in this regard.
Legislation makes it easier for business owners to ban smoking because they won't lose their business to other businesses.
I don't think that it is appropriate to limit where someone can work just because you think that people should be able to smoke in your workplace.
How does that make it the same in Canada? If you were going to match parties, the Liberals would match up with the Democrats. Never mind that even the most right-leaning of Canadian politicians would likely be seen as a liberal in the US--centrist at best.
Well, the real problem with smoking in bars is not the non-smoking patrons who are inhaling the second-hand smoke. If they don't like it, they can go somewhere else.
The problem is the occupational hazard of working in such an environment eight hours a day every day of the week. Many of these people don't have a choice. I respect their health.
The (occaisionally partial) eyelessness of cave fish species is a classic example of the removal of selective pressure for maintenance of a complex structure resulting in its degeneration...
Nonsense. Everyone knows that the Stonecutters rob cave fish of their sight.
If the IT colour scheme ever gets fixed, then I would be all for putting Apache stories in IT. Otherwise, I have to say I find the Apache colour scheme to be much less hideous than IT (even though the purple is a bit putrid).
Yeah, and if I get an e-mail in Outlook and don't download the pictures, I can only reply to it by downloading the pictures. Where do they come up with this stuff?
(And alternative fuels won't be the only way to release ourselves from oil dependence. One would hope that we'd continue to heavily research nuclear, including fusion, options; plans for complete nuclear non-proliferation completely kill any significant efforts in these areas, even for energy means.)
Are nuclear options not alternatives to fossil fuels?
How does this make Apple different from Dell? Don't people always complain about how shoddy Dell equipment is? In fact, if this was about Apple, you would have a lot more people defending Apple.

That must be why I can't remember the last time I watched the CBC other than for a hockey game.
I was referring to their radio on-air personalities. People like Michael Enright, Sook-Yin Lee on DNTO, and the AIH folks.

You must be new here. I know, I know ... not funny, right?

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.
Funny, if it was a Linux system it would have crashed at LI.

Well they are comerical [sic] so .COM works for them, but they are an ISP so .NET works for them too.
.com for the commercial part of their business and .net for the network part of their business.
.org to their name where it should be .GOV.
.org insteead of .gov?
So, they should use
There are also a lot of governemt agencies with
Could you give an example of a US government agency that uses

Sorry, I can't resist. Issues like Supreme Court to consider Ten Commandments displays?
Ahem. Perhaps you don't know the meaning of marginal cost. You are talking about fixed cost.

It gives a new meaning to the phrase "burn in".
Thank you, I'm here all week.

Well...if you know their conversion values, you could put them in your units.dat file.
AT&T was a natural user of computer systems. They invented the packet switched network for long distance telephone calling.
Unless I am mistaken, the long-distance network is not packet switched. The Internet is.
Ah, memories from a few years back. COBOL, DB2. Only it was S/390 then. I still shudder at the thought of JCL.
Whoa! You mean he looks worse *before* make-up?
And what are your views on the subjunctive?
