parce que la vallée du St-Lawrence a été origialment appelé "le Canada"
Du babelfish à son meilleur, et un excellent exemple de la dénaturation d'un symbole ou d'un nom au fil du temps.
For those of you who don't speak french, that was as badly translated as we have come to expect from automated translation.
And I'm really not sure what the point of that post was...except linking to the official governmental propaganda.
Oh wait, propaganda is a bad word...government unity-minded information then.
Pis j'ai mauditement honte que le gouvernement fédéral ait pris possession du symbole de la feuille d'érable. C'était le symbole du canadien-français, sur une commande de la société Saint-Jean Batiste, tout comme le Ô Canada.
And if you guys want a badly translated version of what I just said, try the fish.
I'm sorry, but we need to start colonizing other planets. Our whole economy and culture is based on growth, and we're running out of places to grow.
The aborigenese of the south pacific isles used to leave "usefull" seeds on every deserted island they landed on. That way, if anyone else ever got there a few years later, they'd have something to eat or heal them there.
Mars seems lifeless, so does europa. Lets start introducing life there, an that way when we're getting ready to move there, the terraforming job will already be well on its way.
Its not like we've found precious ecosystems we should protect! They seem lifeless! Barren! If there are life-forsm there, they aren't thriving, maybe a competitor or two would do 'em good. Maybe they'll eat the things we send there and it'll jump-start the ecosystem!
Its in "Guards Guards", its in Mort if you say so, and Granny Whetherwax says it all the time...well...everytime someone tells her she can't do something because its a million to one chance.
Ridcully also says it in "Last Hero". Its a Pratchett quote, but its in Granny's words.
And I think my sig is On Topic, we're taking a city-wide recognition of open-source here aren't we;-)
Well, its never a good idea to reply to cowards, but here goes:
Steal?
Oh really? Funny, its a way to use games you HAVE TO PURCHASE on another device than the one it was written for.
There is no theft here buddy-boy, this is called "fair use", say it with me now, fair....uuuuuse.
Dats right.
Here in the ungodly foreign parts (Canada...look it up), we already have a company that can give you phone+TV+DSL, but the CRTC (Canada's FCC) won't let 'em charge everything in separate bills, or all in one bill. (sorry, I didn't quite understand it when I signed in, and I'm still not sure.)
Personally, it annoys me. I have to pay my DSL in a lump sum with my phone, and I wish I could have a separate bill for it. That way, I could more easily figure out what I pay for the phone, and what I pay for internet (and dish TV if I had that).
I don't trust 'em ya see...sneaky bastards keep trying to get me on their call waiting scheme...
Can't we start a petition?
Get the fox site slashdotted intentionally;-)
Flood 'em with emails requesting, nay, DEMANDING that the tick be put on right after Futurama, and that they divulged the top secret time slot of futurama while they're at it?
You know a show is about to die when they change its time slot around everyweek until NO ONE knows when its on.
I'm convinced its some stupid internal rivalry between execs...killing one guy's show because he drank the last cup of punch at the xmas party and whatnot.
Danz said. "We're blowing taxpayer money at a time when we need to be looking at things like sewers."
:)
But seriously, why didnt they just make a simple little age-restriction deal like at the movies? Simple enough, age-check. But noooo, they had to have a note from mommy!
Sheesh.
And aint it funny that the "industry" challenged the legislation that prevented minors from playing violent games, and not the part about sexual content?:)
Is there such a thing as a sexual game?
Instead of FPS we could be playing FPF! Man, I wouldnt leave the arcade EVER!;-)
Actually, no. I've finished it already, and now I'm having fun playing around with it (I'm trying to finish it with a clean conscience, not killing anyone). I'm not waiting months for a port.
What would make me pissed would be to have to play it with that monstrous Xcontroller...
Seeing how the article makes blatant mistakes (the PS2 does not, in fact, require an extr remote to play DVD, nor does it require extra consoles to play with more than two players, its got an optionnal multi-tap for that), I'm wondering how many more subtle mistakes it makes in the less easily verified points: Numbers, architecture descriptions, etc.
And I reiterate: The GAMES are the important thing.
Xbox has nothing worth buying it (ooo, halo, big freakin' deal) while PS2 has Metal Gear Solid 2 (greates game of all time???), the Game Cube has super monkey ball (come on! A monkey in a ball? You can't get any more fun!), an pikmin and more coming.
I bought a PS2...I'm thingking about a game cube, but xbox is NOT interesting.
I'm amazed by Photoshop's price.
At 500 dollars (?) it's selling enough to make Adobe a lot of money, but everyone I know who has a computer has an illegal copy of Photoshop!
Now, cut the price to 10% of what it is now, and you're SURE to sell over 100 times more copies!
Divide price by 10 and get 10 times the profit.
WHY don't they do it?
Is it some obscure price-range to try to keep it a professional product? Sheer stupidity? A satanic plot to ensure that a lot of people "steal" from them and thus are turned to the dark side?
The thing is, people who just take copies of software and sample it don't bother me in the least. What does bother me is the people who are resellers of piratted software. They make a profit from the work of others without compensating the people who did the work. Now THAT is stealing.
If they had stolen the tea and sold it to people for a profit, no tax, no compensation to the producers, that would have been very different from chugging it in the harbor.
I'm sorry, but Starship Troopers had very believable monsters. Of course, exoskeletons are easier to do than skin, but that's just using the technology smartly:)

It depends on who you ask, here in canada, porn parodies can get you in real trouble.
They start the movie with Dr Jones being cursed back to mortality for robbing yet another holy place? :)
La fierté et l'orthographe sont deux notions distinctes.
In Quebec its French only.
No its not! The government of Québec's page is not only in french and english, but also in spanish.
Check some facts once in a while.
Mets-en 'sti!

Tell 'em its cheap.
Say the words "hard earn tax dollars"
and be prepared to be called a dirty red commie.
Just TRY to DVD-R an x-box game.
Try.
They're written backwards, -just for that-.

Try compressing a wav or mpeg file with gzip. Doesn't work too well, becuase the data is "random"
.zipping a .zip file while you're at it...
Mpeg don't compress well because they already compressed!

Months after? I spotted 'em right away. My gf was wondering what the hell got me so excited :)
-"She's a beout'!"
-"Oh, its grumpy now!"
-Steve mentions his life is in danger.

Boy, you are gonna be WASTED!

when you steal a car, you TAKE SOMETHING AWAY.
When you make illegal opies of software, you refrain from giving someone money.
There is a big difference between taking your pants away and not giving you extra pants.
(A friend of mine recently had his shorts stolen on a beach on vacation...forgive the analogy)
"Some of the great minds of the 130s and 140s actually were working with cybernetics like these," Tilden said.
130? 140?
Wow! These robots are older than the catholic church!
