Want to start counting European unpaid debts from the Marshall Plan and factor in inflation and interest?
The Marshall plan was the equivalent of Microsoft giving out free copies of Windows and Office to school boards. Yes, it helps out, but it also gets them hooked on Microsoft product and the upgrades aren't free.
You may consider the Marshall Plan "unpaid debt", but the massive economic hooks it latched into Europe have brought back untold profits.
Oh and Edgar Bronfman Jr: You say you want to hold the cheapest songs on iTunes to.99 cents and raise the prices on the popular tracks? Was not this what you were trying to do when that pesky price fixing scheme was discovered back when you were at Universal? Are you guys *trying* to put yourselves out of business?
Yes, Edgar Bronfman Jr. is notorious for putting himself out of business. In Canada, we all know this. He didn't make any of the money he has, his (former) empire was all inherited.

NZ isn't AU.
Someday the revolution will come, and these people will be up against the wall. ;p
There's some exciting stuff there, and I bet we'll be seeing that MiniBar concept in applications for years and years to come.
Don't tell me we'll have to pay each time we use an item...

There's been rumblings about Montreal being a perfect spot.

Video IS a tricky thing.
Back when I worked at a multimedia company, in '98, I had to encode stuff in "Vivo" format for the web.
When was the last time you heard of THAT? Know anything that can play it? Probably not.
Ya, you can store more than one number per entry. This is on an almost 3-year-old Nokia.
You had that much trouble sending a text message?
If I wanna send a text message from my Nokia 7210, I just press the "left" directional key from the main screen.
I stick with Nokias BECAUSE they have such a reasonable interface. (Of course, reading the manual helps... despite geeks loathing to do so.)
Actually, from what I read, they're gonna do a seperate US version... but still produce it in Canada.
Seriously.
That troll caught me completely off-guard, and I nearly fell out of my seat.
Actually, Test Prodecure Specification:

Happened twice with one employee and two pickup trucks at the rail yard where my brother works.
My brother still laughs about it.
A HAMMER?
Ouch, I don't think I want to know what kind of hygene product that is...
Would you be fine with $3000 deathtrap cars on the road?
Oh fuck, here comes the "teh free market!" rhetoric.
The free market is retarded alot of the time, and buys $30 DVD players that break down in three months.
Duke Sucks.
Never too late to state the obvious.
But I suppose you'd be cheering if it were called an oggcast or a gnucast...
So... F5 = Reload
You learn something everyday.
(Never bothered pressing it.)
Ya, Marvel's already done that.
It's called "The Punisher".
A lot of people think a middle initial adds a touch of class...
I guess I ain't got no class.
(No middle name. Rodney Dangerfield moment...)
"It was like mosquito hitting a 747. What we've found is that the mosquito didn't splat on the surface, it's actually gone through the windscreen."
I've encountered plenty of mosquitos, but I've never encountered a mosquito MADE OF SOLID METAL.
I think being made of solid metal instead of squishy goo might make all the difference.
First, pardon my ignorance but is there a RAW->AAC encoder for Linux? I didn't see one when I ripped my CD collection.
To use the old linux zealot phrase: If you don't see one, make one.
(Not that *I* would.)
Oh, great. That's just what I want: GLASS BONES.
