Actually, the CanCon laws are there because it's is cheaper simply to purchase American content than it is to produce Canadian content.
Channels like Global, which produces very little visible Canadian content, would love to stuff their schedule with nothing but american programming. It would be alot cheaper for them.
So, it's not a matter of Canadian shows "sucking", it's more a matter of a proverbial "Wal-Mart" rolling into town and crushing everything else with cheap garbage.
The difference is that the Apple info wasn't leaked in the public interest. It was leaked purely for noseyness.
Public interest would be if Apple were covering up a wrongdoing of sorts.
Gov't stuff isn't exempt from this either. I'm sure the army would be none to pleased if you leaked-out info on their top-secret aircraft, since it's not in the public interest to know.
There's a fundemental difference between a WANT to know and a NEED to know.
The thing that really annoyed me about that is that they didn't just pull the NGPC from the market... they sent out an order to pull all the games FROM THE SHELVES!
Immediately it was next to impossible to find any games for this nice little system I had...

Well, we could go around butting heads or tearing strips off each other like so many other species do...
I wanna go to another city simply to test this theory.
(No use making an ass of yourself in your home city.)

you can move a window by holding down Alt, grabbing anywhere in the window (with the left mouse button) and moving the window around
Programs like Photoshop, which use Alt as a mouse modifier, wouldn't quite work with that.
He's right. It IS "O-S Ten, Ten-point-Three-point-Eight". "OSX" is the brand, and the version number is seperate.
There will probably be OSX v11.0.
Naming isn't supposed to make sense nowadays.
Java 5 is actually Java 1.5.x
Windows 2000 is actually NT 5.0
I just took a walk outside, here in Canada, and my assets are frozen too!
I don't thik it would be possible to freeze my assets in Australia.
Same here.
I feel old.
I still have all my e-mail dating back to 1997. (My packrat mentality is alive and well on my computer.)
But running a scan on it wouldn't do much use, since I culled all the spam manually over the years...
Apple is at E3 EVERY year.
An out-of-the-way room off the main showfloors, but they're there. (And usually have sandwiches.)
This is Slashdot.
People actively hate on EVERYTHING.
Not everyone likes the same games.
I'm sure you'd bitch up a storm if they packed in a game that you didn't like. ("Don't *force* me to buy this shitty game!")
Yes, BUT... to get Tetris onto your iPod, you're gonna have to kill the iPod OS.
Tetris - I have a tiny dedicated Tetris keychain that cost me $15 eight years ago.
Text Editor - WORSE than cellphone keypad text entry.
DOOM - Ya, like that's gonna go. The iPod occasionally gets choppy sliding levels of the menu.
Gameboy Emulator - One button + scrollwheel does not a GB emu make. Also, go scrounge up an original Gameboy for $10 at a flea market or something.
Oh, I was thinking of Citröen's 2CV. (Deux Chevaux, "Two Horse")
CVCC = Controlled Vortex Combustion Chamber.
and furthermore, CVCC = "105 cubic centimetres"
OMFG! Grow up...
Seriously. (Personally, I watch so few AVIs that I couldn't be bothered with a replacement.)
Guess they launched all ZigBee...
(/lame)
Halo was orignally a Mac game, meant to showcase OSX, before Microsoft bought Bungie.
Judging from the way my XP machine works, maybe you need to remember that CDs go in the drive SHINY side down.
One of these days I'm planning on building an MP3 player into an old transistor radio (1969) I bought at a surplus store a couple of years ago.
Low bitrate MP3s through a crappy built-in speaker will be wonderful in ways you can't describe.
I was planning on going out tonight... but got caught late at the office this evening and got home too late to.
/admittedly pathetic //wants to go out, drink, and pretend to dance
I was gonna bitch about it on LJ, and now I can't.
Google it.
Facts are meaningless. You can use facts to prove
anything that's even remotely true.
