What about live people playing the role of NPCS? You should be able to hire guys from India to do it. Not only would it enhance roleplaying and battles, they could keep an eye out for Chinese gold farmers.
You mean the tax that encourages savings and discourages consumption, so we don't get into the kind of massive consumer debt situation they have in the US? In that case, guilty as charged.
Official Conservative Party policy is to eliminate the levy on blank recording materials. Since they are about to win the next election to be held (most likely) in June, this particular problem is solved.
A lot of people are making a lot of money off parents with exaggerated fears for their children's safety. Bike helmets are a reasonable precaution, but stab-resistant jackets?
As the father of a one-year old, I would suggest you spend your limited free time checking the batteries on the fire alarms and ensuring you and your wife still have fun now and then rather than tinkering around with baby monitors. Both will serve your child better in the long run.
I'm a policy advisor in the federal government. Typing rapidly (I learned formal touch typing in Grade 9) has been an enormous boon to my career because I can put out product faster than most of my colleagues. When firing around competing policy papers, this often lets me frame the debate because I get my ideas out first. Silly but that's human nature for you.
The result is that I look like the "thought leader" when really I just type faster than my secretary.
I'm a manager (government, no less) and this idea of regularized overtime is absurd. If your people are already working 15 hour days, what do you do when a crisis hits? Nothing, you crash and burn.
On the other hand, with a well-managed workforce doing normal hours, when the crisis hits they all rise to the challenge because it's unusual, a bit exciting and they know it is not normal. They all pitch in and once you have crushed all before you, they can settle down to the regular routine again.
The hard part is not responding to a crisis, it's ensuring the regular day-to-day wellbeing of your staff so they can perform well during a crisis.
This guy should be fired instantly.
Such an initiative would likely be subject to a challenge under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, so much so that it would likely not be introduced in the first place.
Endorsing a foreign initiative is not the same as legislating a domestic one, and I think Canadians believe that sufficient personal freedom has been traded for security.
Besides, like this would stop evildoers who know how to surf untraceably.
Screw the RIAA. All net radio stations should relocate to Canada. We're more wired than the US (per capita), business costs (including connectivity) are cheaper, and we don't give a rat's ass what big US record companies think.
Just make sure to play a Canadian song every now and then and the government will love you all over.
Shh, shut up man. The minute the Americans find out about our massive trade surplus they will freak out and start trying to weasel out of NAFTA. Let them keep thinking their trade deficit is all the fault of the Japanese.
You're completely right about Sympatico, I just switched to Rogers last week and what a difference. Rogers is much snappier for surfing, more than twice as fast for downloads (had a few at 230 KB/s), and it works with my Linksys router (something DSL never did).
Rogers is like Microsoft, you hate the idea of them but they make the best stuff.

Isn't one of the doomsday theories surrounding the LHC that our section of spacetime will get shoved elsewhere in the universe?
Cool, like Space 1999, except that the Earth would zip around the galaxy and not the moon?

And soon we will use nanotechnology to order pizza. Oh wait, that was the Internet...
Yes but it's only a short bridge away from Malaysia, which is, well, less than organized.

Why not just move out of the US, to someplace with a friendlier regulatory environment? Canada, say, or the UK?

Uh, that porn probably comes from either Hong Kong, which is part of China, or Taiwan, which isn't.
Big deal. They did all that using German rocket scientists they grabbed after the war.

Actually it would be Hesperaform.
What's really going on with global warming on Earth is that those darn Venutians are trying to terraform us! Nuke Venus Now!
Ok, but I'd like to check for indigenous Martian life first before we risk killing it off by altering the climate.
