FYI: If Quebec ever does separate, only the rich and well-connected will be free. Everybody else will be imprisoned by their language. By forcing all Quebeckers to only use French, they are keeping them ignorant of the world. Many Quebeckers are already stuck in Quebec because their English language skills are non-existent.

Today it is English and tomorrow it will be Chinese. Adapt or die.

Of course not. He works for another company that they've contracted out the cleaning to. That way they can keep more of the Bonuses to white-collar people.
The women angle is so true. For my wife though, 2700K isn't cutting it. I had 1 or 2 CFL in chandeliers of 3 and 5 lights and she made me remove them. I think I've seen 3000K or 3500K CFLs that carry a "Daylight" marketing label that might help her cope but I would have to secretly replace them to get them in. (True daylight is 5000K or so)
The non-instantaneous on of CFL also drives her nuts. It bothered me too but I tolerated it. I have a CFL outside and it's slow to give usable light at 0C (or 32F) and below.
CFL is only stop-gap technology to LED lighting.

I can see as this memory becomes faster, cheaper and more reliable to replace system memory, too. I can even see the stuff become so cheap that backing all the info will become cost prohibitive, something like how tape backup systems cost way more today than a 2nd hard drive, but an order of magnatude higher.
The irony is that this would explain why in the future (à-la-Star-Trek), backups of the computer's memory doesn't exist and cause improbable storylines for us system admins.

When I was a kid, the highest SPF suntan lotion you could buy was SPF 8. I was told: "Higher than that you'd be crazy"
Today I see SPF 50 on the shelves and nothing below SPF 16.
Maybe once I see SPF 1000 we'll finally know what is the cause of Global warming.
Until then we should still cut back on any emissions that would make things worse in terms of climate change, REGARDLESS OF the real cause.
While we're at it cut back,..err, cut out polution of ANY kind. I have to dump my AA batteries in the garbage because they wont recycle that but they'll gladly polute the air and water to recycle my newspaper which can rot by itself anywhere.

Best case scenario: People avoid Cable like the plague and view non-MPAA material off the Internet.

Na, they'll just go down on their knees and get CIFS code from M$ and create a Samba Clone.
