you can basically get the internation editions instead, which is basically the identical book - soft covered, a quarter of the price here, and are sold anywhere outside of north america. it's illegal to be sold here in NA, so it's awefully hard to find them on the web.... but guess what, people dont care anymore and we can get them off ebay now. if i'm going to spend to get a photocopied version of a textbook, it might be a better idea to get an international edition - especially a book like sedra & smith...
I also realized that default firefox is MUCH more responsive under win2k than on linux - noticable especially from v0.5 (or 0.4?) onwards. But I just installed this simple theme (here)on my linux firefox and it performs now much better - even better than the default theme! I'm running all this on my PIII 450MHz.
The toolbars are a lot thinner and the icons are smaller which is something i've really been looking for for a long time. (the default 'theme' has its toobars quite a bit thicker than the default 'theme' in windows)...

Videotron customers beware: they say that they're 'actually delighted that the CRIA is doing what it's doing.
they're delighted because that would reduce users bandwidth usage. in videotron's POV, they only care about the company saving money. i dont think they really care about the "non-ethical" aspects of music sharing. they're one of the first ISPs in quebec (quebequeers) that started the monthly download quota limit. and of course by saying they're delighted, it just makes themselves look "ethical".
i used to use bell canada, and all of a sudden in a month they charged me $100 because of going over the bandwidth download limit. i didnt get any sort of notification. about 12 months later, many people started to complain and they took off the cap. it's all about ISPs making and saving money.
unfortunately M$ has been changing NTFS in pretty much every release of windows.... NT3, NT4, Win2k, WinXP... We'll never really know what the new 'format' will be like in the upcoming Longhorn
and once again, like every year, canadian viewers will be blocked out of the the american ads and will be force-fed canadian ads. it'll most probably be the same ad talking about canadian heros and canadian stars making it down in the US.. the same ads they've been brainwashing people with daily.
with ad critic charging for money, hopefully there'll be a place to download (or bittorrent) the ads after the game - like we did last year!
i think you were refering to mackay street. anyhow, there are actually 2 (TWO!) of these places on that street. one right near the hall building. the other vietnamese place right across the library building (the next to the coffee house place you were talking about). i know the names, but i'm not going to bring them up here. hint: (U and J)
make sure though when you get the book that it's the right version number. also, sometimes the photocopied version has missing pages and unclear text.
what i usually do photocopy my book. there's this place on sherbroke right across mcgill where a LOT of mainland chinese students go copy books manually (meat market!). it actually only takes an hour per book on average. costs cheaper (about $10-15) per book, and better quality.
interesting to say, there are profs at both mcgill and concordia that have open book exams, but permit only ORIGINAL copies in the exam room. funny to say, but you know, these books were written by the same profs that are teaching their profs! what a way to make even more money off your students!
now books come shrinkwrapped - and bookstores wont do refunds if the plastic is removed. idiotic.
i just got a book that costs $160+tx canadian, and I got that very same book back in hong kong for $40 canadian.
Isn't that what managers are for? It's not your job to inform CxOs that there are problems. Alternatively.. if you're looking to get into management, this could be your chance.
interesting... this dinner is like a company meeting off hours (overtime) under company's $$$ expense. Instead of getting paid overtime, you get paid with food instead. But does the meal cost over $15 an hour?
i just installed this on my debian box - and the kernel didnt boot on my computer. probably better idea to wait a while since this happens with.0 kernel releases all the time...
The problem is a lack of highly educated workers willing to work for the minimum wage or lower in the U.S. Costs are driving outsourcing, not the quality of American schools.'"
if i'm a university graduate - hell, a masters/phd, i dont think i'll be willing to work for minimum wage or lower in the US. for those fresh grads still paying off debt from college, i truly, truly feel for you guys.

i noticed that too. just go to suprnova.org for now, or room #bt on irc (efnet).

AMD back in the black
because 32-bit processors 'can't take advantage of more than 4 megabytes (sic) of memory at a time.'
sounds like a gang bang reference to me... once you go black, you never go back.
i've apt-get'ed the most recent kernel-image-2.6 and ran lilo, but it never seemed to go past the:
"Uncompressing kernel.... OK, booting image" line.
google and newgroups didnt help. tried both 2.6.0 also with same problems.
guess it's not as simple as just plain apt-get...

for highschool, there's:
ratemyteachers.ca (canada)
ratemyteachers.com (US)
for college/university:
ratemyprofessors.ca (canada)
ratemyprofessors.com (US)
i agree with you.
it's like people calling themselves software engineers...
every computer science major's start calling themselves that.
so not only are they computer scientists, they're now promoted to engineers.
yeah, I turned off the mature filter. ...and now you complain you got pair of mature boobs instead of teen boobs!
