It just proves so called Canadian culture, art, music sucks and cannot stand on it own two feet. Canada would rather have American culture than its own shitty home grown crap.
Hell yeah! Why would they want to see Canadian movies when they could be watching films with good, ole AMERICAN actors like Dan Ackroyd, Raymond Burr, John Candy, Neve Campbell, Jim Carrey, Michael Cera, James Doohan, Nathan Fillion, Michael J. Fox, Matt Frewer, Lorne Greene, Corey Haim, Phil Hartman, Tricia Helfer, Michael Ironside, Margot Kidder, Eugene Levy, Eric McCormack, Norm McDonald, Rick Moranis, Carrie-Anne Moss, Mike Myers, Leslie Neilsen, Catherine O'Hara, Sandra Oh, Tahmoh Penikett, Christopher Plummer, Seth Rogen, William Shatner, Martin Short, Jewel Staite, Donald Sutherland... Heck, that's half the cast of almost every Comedy or SF film ever made.
During my career, I have noticed that many of the older software developers are burnt out. They would rather do their 9-5, get paid, and go home.
Maybe they have friends, families, interests and possibly even lives outside of their jobs. Perhaps they are even passionate about things that don't take place within the confines of their day jobs.
If this is a state which you are whole-heartedly trying to avoid and you use phrases like "90 Hours A Week And Loving It" in an entirely serious manner, then just keep doing that for about five to ten more years and you will start to understand exactly how people get burned out.
IMO, wave power is just too random. Tidal power is predictable, and can be harnessed both on the rise and the fall of the tides. Just think about havesting the flow of the Bay of Fundy!
If we didn't need oil it might happen, but we do. So we will do what the Saudi King tells us to do...
The King called up his jet fighters / He said you better earn your pay
Drop your bombs between the Minarets / Down the Casbah way
As soon as the Sharif was chauffeured outta there / The jet pilots tuned to the cockpit radio blare
As soon as the Sharif was outta their hair / The jet pilots wailed...
I agree calling the thing 'Surface' could lead to confusion. If an announcer said something like "the coach is checking his Surface now", what percentage of viewers might have thought he was referring to something other than the gadget in the coach's hand?
I would have gone with "The coach is checking his fondleslab now", but saying that kind of thing can get you fired nowadays.
Getting past the gatekeepers is the problem. You can have a degree in theater or math and still get a job in computing. The bar is having SOME kind of degree. This is not a problem just in computing. It's a general corporate affliction.
"Nearly half of the software developers in the United States do not have a college degree. Many never even graduated from high school."
Unless half of the software developers in the United States are self employed and work out of their own basements, only one of these statements can be correct.
"Could sophisticated military tanks and anti-aircraft missiles given or sold to countries like Iraq be equipped with a way to disable them if they're compromised, without opening them up to hacking by an enemy?"
No. Of course not. If you can destroy or disable your own equipment remotely then it's only a matter of time before someone else figures out how to use or break that function on their own,.
A much better approach would be to put a little red button on the bottom of everything and let nature take its course.
"I hate warriors, too narrow-minded. I'll tell you what I do like though: a killer, a dyed-in-the-wool killer. Cold blooded, clean, methodical and thorough. Now a real killer, when he picked up the ZF-1, would've immediately asked about the little red button on the bottom of the gun."
Absolutely. For any reasonable definition of 'coder' that approximates definition of 'employed IT professional' that statement is false.
Clearly we live in different universes.
In yours, it seems that "employed" means "employed by a large corporation whose organizational chart can only be displayed on several bedsheets stitched together", while in mine it means "hired or being engaged to perform work for pay".
My universe is full of people who are employed as IT professionals without having science or engineering degrees. Most of them landed their current positions on the strength of previous work in the field, and are just as capable as their degree-bearing and ring-wearing coworkers. As long as you can do your job, nobody cares what kind of expensive picture frames you hang on your wall.
Leonid Brezhnev ran the Kremlin for more than 18 years, which most people would not consider "brief".
Point there. But it does nothing to change the fact that he and both of his successors left office after being "suddenly taken ill", which is similar to what the original article described.
wait for the facts to come out from a reputable source that doesn't use "Soviet-Style Punishment" in their headline. The Soviets didn't send their enemies home on paid leave.
It's not their enemies, but members of the government.who would find themselves suddenly and mysteriously ill whenever they became inconvenient. Brezhnev, Andropov and Chernenko each enjoyed very brief stints in the Kremlin before suddenly revealing that they were critically ill and needed to immediately step down and never speak to anyone again.

I've seen what passes for syrup in your country. It's not that much different from the oil.
Tell them you were in rehab for heroin addiction for those six years. It's more acceptable.
"12 days clean, praise Jesus!"
He's looking for a job in IT, not running for Mayor of Toronto.
Don't disrespect The Lost Boys.
Why doesn't Canada just take justin beiber back, call it even?
Unless the USA restores him to the condition in which he was originally received, they're going to have to forfeit their damage deposit.

All Canada has is Justin Bieber and Nickleback.
Except Netflix is **not** a Canadian company.
If they want to operate in Canada, then they **are**.
Is Canada still taxing blank media to subsidize the "victims" of "piracy?"
Yes. Is the USA still allowing copyright trolls to financially ruin people in ways that are not legal in Canada?
Enjoy that.

The other uses satellites, which are still insufficiently advanced to be called magic.

People said similar things about Nazi's (yeah I just Godwined the conversation).
Not only that, you misused an apostrophe at the same time. I think the entire Internet just imploded.
Perjhaps he has about your levell of just how cripled Chromebooks are.
Now you'rehow about some specifics of just how crippled Chromebooks are?
I have one, and we'll compare notes..
I didn't know this before right now, but it looks that Chromebooks have bad keyboards.

What do you use to connect the device to your telescope?
I'm betting it's duct tape.
Linux for Workgroups 3.11
You keep telling yourself that. Meanwhile, in GB nobody fears getting robbed by police. Or getting killed for not dropping to the ground within 100ms.
How's that working out?
Getting past the gatekeepers is the problem. You can have a degree in theater or math and still get a job in computing. The bar is having SOME kind of degree. This is not a problem just in computing. It's a general corporate affliction.
"Nearly half of the software developers in the United States do not have a college degree. Many never even graduated from high school."

I thought we were the Popular Front
"Whatever happened to the Popular Front, Reg?"
"He's over there."
"Could sophisticated military tanks and anti-aircraft missiles given or sold to countries like Iraq be equipped with a way to disable them if they're compromised, without opening them up to hacking by an enemy?"
No. Of course not. If you can destroy or disable your own equipment remotely then it's only a matter of time before someone else figures out how to use or break that function on their own,.

Thanks Bob and Doug McKenzie!
Turns out that's a steaming pile, who knew eh. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...
I can't imagine a more accurate and trustworthy source on this subject than the Daily Mail, but that's only because The Onion hasn't covered it yet.
