Being a curious little monkey and not having the man with the yellow hat around to stop me, I searched amazon.com for this.
The first book that comes up: "The Trouble with Islam : A Muslim's Call for Reform in Her Faith". I have no idea what this means, but it has to be significant in some way.
So what exactly did people do before they had television?
Before we manly men could flip through channels on a tv with a remote control, we sat near the tv and fiddled with it (moving the bunny ears, moving the fine tuning knob, etc).
Before that, we sat around the radio, slowly turning the knob to see if we could make that station come in just a little clearer or pick up that station just a little farther away.
And I'm sure that way before that, when fire was first invented, all the men would gather around the fire. Every one of them with a stick so they could poke at the fire.
This post blantently ripped off from some standup comedian on Just For Laughs.
Other than a few french channels in the 70-75 range, I bet I could list off the name of each channel I get. For around half of them, I could name who owns them.
That's why I've painted my car pink, purple, and vomit green and installed a SEP (someone else's problem) field generator. Now my car is effectively invisible!
let's face it, if you manage to destroy not one but TWO copies of the same DVD then you don't deserve legal rights to copy it again, you need a beating with a cluestick
Or kids live in your house.
Dammit Timmy! The VCR does not like grilled cheese sandwiches.
While I do not support the policies of the Conservatives, your actions on this issue will certainly be enough to determine whether I decide to place my vote in a party other than the Liberals in the coming election.
Somehow I get the feeling that the Conservative Party would be the music industry's bitch as much as this Liberal MP. Though I guess since you're in Alberta, voting for the NDP would be kind of useless and laughable.
Ideally, I'd like to see Larry Lessig's system, wherein musicians are paid directly a share of general royalties collected based on their popularity (a la ASCAP), implemented somewhere (you could even start funding the royalty pool with the levy on blank CDRs)
That's almost how the levy is supposed to be distributed. Check here for details on how it actually works. Most goes to "authors and publishers"
The obvious solution would be to create some special court to hear the appeals in such cases
I'm pretty sure they have those. Strangely enough, it's called the Court of Appeal. And if you want to appeal a decision that the Court of Appeal has decided didn't appeal to them, you appeal to the court above them to get your appeal heard. Depending on the jurisdiction, there's not a whole lot of levels to these. I can't think of any that has more than 3 higher courts.
In spite of this, Canadian television has yet to produce a domestic hit television series
I guess that depends on what you consider a hit and what you consider Canadian television.
Many shows are filmed in Vancouver with at least partly Canadian cast members. Quite a few shows have been produced by the CBC which I would call hits. Royal Canadian Air Farce and This Hour has 22 Minutes both spring to mind. Hell, if you can't call The Red Green Show a hit, I don't know what is.
And now that the TTC has received a billion dollars (over 5 years) from federal, provincial, and municipal coffers, those trains should be running even better. Or maybe they'll pay off their debt.
The number of seats doesn't really matter much if a proportionate number of people are counting. There should be a federal election in Canada in a few months, I expect it won't be a long time before they declare a winner.
I wonder what would happen if this was done to a Canadian 2 dollar coin (also known as a twonee). Instead of being made with a single metal (or a bunch of metals mixed together), this coin has two seperate sections. The middle is mostly copper and the outside ring is nickel
It's not all based on sales. It's also based on radio play and a couple other factors. If the band in the grandparent post registered their songs with SOCAN, they'll probably receive a cheque for about 50 cents or so.
Sounds like battlebots. It'll probably be broadcast on some lowly cable station with commentary by football players who don't understand what packets are.

Or blind people. Does tv advertising work as well on blind people as it does on those with sight?
I might as well memorize channel numbers
You mean you don't? What kind of a geek are you?

The reason this guy had an accident is because he was only driving 157km/h in Montreal. That's too slow to keep up with the rest of the traffic.

Make sure to speak English very slowly too. All foreign people actually understand it as long as it's spoken slowly.
What are these 'floppy disks' you speak of?

Just watch out for cold water. The shrinkage would negate the magnification.
It's copyright infringment, not stealing.
And it's not even that in Canada

Alternatives abound, consider a ground-based catapult launch system to get the plane up to a reasonable velocity
Wait a minute. I've heard of this. It's called Elbonian airlines. But where would we find enough mud to make the landings soft?

Does it actually take 10 hours? We had a provincial election in Ontario a few months back and results were in after an hour or so.

How fucking hard are you closing a car door on your hand that it severs it?

Both toque and tuque appear to be acceptable spellings. I've always spelled it toque though.
Now if you combined the food rich environment of your keyboard with the poison producing bacteria from your colon, you start to have a real problem.
So what you're saying is that I should not shit on my keyboard. Good to know.
