I'm on the internet since about 1990, saw WWW and Mosaic and all, I went on Yahoo! a few times because it was a search engine, then I went to Lycos and Excite and Altavista and finally Google. As a European I never went on AOL and have not went on yahoo for more than 20 years.
I never check those kind of sites now to book an hotel, be it in NYC or elsewhere, I call the hotel to make a reservation, and if I check by after those "bargain travel sites", I realize they are all more expensive than what the hotel is offering!
yep, but in QC for instance, 50% of my taxes go to healthcare and service is so-so... hospital may be free but someone has to pay the exorbitant millionaires doctors we have here (and the PM is himself a millionaire doctor).
But I agree it's like an insurance we have in case of.
And a lot of Canadian people seek cancer treatments in NY state or even Cuba. Same for dental, east Europe is cheap as well as south america. India too.
Canada is not a panacea, especially Québec where you can wait 2 days in ER and die there waiting.
But in the end, it's ugly. Years ago I worked for a big company that re-did (via a 3rd party) their whole website, it was stuck in 800x600 !!! In this time we had 15" monitor in 1024x768 screen, it was not that bad, but 2 years after and 17" in 1600x1040 then 1920x1080 and it was horrible, the website was a small blue area surrounded by black bars.
What? No. On the front page, in the right column, there is a box with every reply and moderation made to my comments, right there, I can even delete them one by one or erase all from one click.
oh wow I got the same experience at a previous job... a (rather incompetent) boss did the same thing, we spent at least 2 hours a day (9am to 11am) in a room doing status meeting...
My login name was Frédéric, in 1999, during various/. update it became Fr%E9d%E9ric or Fr#d#ric or something, at one point I was even not able to log in, I had to message an administrator so he could rename my username... 2017 and still no proper support for accentated characters.
Spec wise it has an old Atom (overclocked to 2GHz), a 11.6" screen and a Nvidia ION, HDMI output, can decode H264 in hardware without problem, has 3GB of RAM, ethernet, wifi abgn, bluetooth, 3 USB, etc.
I run Mint 17.3 Xfce on it, it works well, I still use it to debug some code in car application written on AVR ATMEGA, it can compile a 32K project in a few seconds, transfer it via USBasp, serial console via a CP2102, etc. I am using it mainly for this as my other laptop is 17" and too big.
The bottleneck is the CPU so browsing some big sites like facebook or reddit+res it is slow. I also installed Win10 on a partition to try it, it works fine!
You can buy one for ~$70 on eBay. To replace it I would need a $300 chromebook and manage to install linux on it, but would miss some keys maybe?

anyway, no one is using the .us TLD ;-)
We don't say A4, we say in France for instance "21 29 7" in reference to the size 21cm by 29,7cm
True, cue November Rain by Guns N'Roses which was 9 minutes!

Go in any Petro-Canada or Loblaws, buy cash an unlocked cellphone with a $25 voucher, and that's it, no name or address associated with the phone.
You can also buy any used phone on kijiji and put a petro SIM inside, phone metadata will be connected to previous owner!

I too take an oath to never go to that site!

Even more, anything lower than 4 digits are untrustworthy!

Sorry, in User Preferences, then Slashboxes tab, tick the Use Slashboxes box.
We cannot edit comment here :)
in Use Slashboxes tick the "Use Slashboxes" option maybe?

Where we buy everything from China and it takes 3-4 months to arrive...

Cannot be first post if you RTFA or even RTFS :)
It would be cool is future BMW have blinkers, because all the ones I see on the road do not!
Or Hulk or Fantastic Four!
There was a 2 and 3? Non sense. Why not sequels of Starship Troopers while you are at it!

Better than this, low id/good karma have an option to disable ads in /. so no need to filter?
Cannot you filter "facebook" from your front page? :-/
Just checked, there is a "Exclude stories by topic" option but you cannot select "facebook"
