Generally, IME, it is the local telcos. We have two major providers and often we'll see a drop in responsiveness for some users but not all, and it's almost always the case that the users are with the same telco.
I have a telescope and I get my neighbour to do the browsing. I call him up to tell him which link to click.
Yeah I know the phone call can be tapped, but we've tried string and tin cans and they don't work when it rains, so we speak in a mish-mash of Afrikaans, Esperanto and squirrel noises.
I hate getting dinged for duty when I buy stuff from the US, and I especially hate having to pay bureaucracy charges levvied by the shipment companies for dealing with the duty.
Connect the LaCie drive that your computer cannot detect. My Computer > Manage > Disk Management Select the volume without a drive letter (that'll be the LaCie), Right-click, Change Drive Letter And Paths, choose a drive letter that isn't taken.
Voila.
(It's not a LaCie specific problem, we get that with some USB keys too)
The EU has "been there, done that", and knows the pitfalls. Disagreement is something they are used to, and are trying to compromise their way around it. Fair dues, as the gun is only a short term solution - nothing finally gets put to rest without sitting round a table and thinking long term.
Sir Humphrey: "You know what happens: nice young lady comes up to you. Obviously you want to create a good impression, you don't want to look a fool, do you?

Bernard Woolley: "Yes" Sir Humphrey: "Of course you would, Bernard. After all you told you can't say no to that. So they don't mention the first five questions and they publish the last one." Bernard Woolley: "Is that really what they do?" Sir Humphrey: "Well, not the reputable ones no, but there aren't many of those. So alternatively the young lady can get the opposite result."

I must be odd because I found it entirely intuitive. Looking at how diverse humanity is, and how blurred are the lines between species, I had no trouble as a kid seeing how things fitted together without there being a "designer". I was always uneasy in church (when I was made to go) because nothing that was said there about the history of man seemed at all logical, and indeed counter-intuitive to me. I always saw religion as cover-up, right up until I discovered that I was not the only person who thought this - at which point I could start to talk about how I thought, rather than be a mouthy pre-teen who needed a bit more church time to set him straight.
Anyway, back on point, I'm sceptical that everyone accepts a design-based universe by default. I know I didn't.
It's also conceivable, though highly unlikely, that one day evolution will be disproven completely. If that happens, it will be entirely to God's credit.

Yes.
"Rated T for Teens".
Not that there's a lot of difference in some cases.

Is there a similar site to newegg for Canadians?

So what's a Canuck to do?

Did they seize it with both hands?
Be careful. If you are in Utah you might not be allowed to say that on the internet.
I suggest the much safer "Utah is one of the places used to simulate tasty chocolate snack bar landings."
I'd mod you up.

He still runs the same company. His latest invention is the A-bike.
:)
BTW, I used to watch the Redskins in that rink, before I moved to Canada
The only full albums I've got in the last 5 years are oldies (Eagles, Bettles etc).
Would that be Don, Saul, Jorje and Dingo?
Yes, she gave her new address and said that she'd leave the doors unlocked and would people please just let themselves in and leave stuff.
You might want to check out Charlie Jade then. Totally excellent series that lasted about 20 episodes a couple of years ago.
The ZX80 was white and didn't sell very well, the ZX81 was black and much more popular. A precursor to the ZX Spectrum, which was hugely successful.
In such an environment, I'd wager you could ditch the keyboard as well and still get as much use out of it ;)
Think about CowboyNeal. Works for me.
Feck - Did I just admit that out loud?
I think that's why US citizens have the right to bear firearms - to remind their government of what can happen if they forget who serves who.
Well that's working just peachy. Perhaps it's time to find a better way.
Which is more arrogant? Being rude in public, or using the force of law to make people not do something that annoys you?
The being rude in public.
Arrogance is the exaggerating of one's own worth or importance in an overbearing manner.
Projecting an air of "I am above the law" is arrogant.
Appealing to the law to enforce equality is the opposite of arrogance, IMO.

About those $6 I loaned you last week. Can I have $4 of them back today please, and I'll get the rest tomorrow?
Picture a long board with an anvil at one end and a small paperweight at the other.
Or put it in terms that the average slashdotter will understand, picture a long board with a Hummer at one end and a Smart car at the other.
Only one of them will be speaking up though. The other will stand in the background and look disinterested.
The OP might have Tourette's Syndrome, you insensitive clod!
Having a photo of an unsightly asshole on a politican's webpage?
Who'd have thunk it?
