But that just makes sense, after all, when G.W. gets re-elected he, led by Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Richard Pearl will concoct a scheme to invade Canada to protect the U.S. from "Salmon of Mass Desctruction".
Even as we speak, salmon are crossing the border into the United States unchecked and thereby threatening the "American Way of Life (tm)".
Since it's just as likely as not that a Canadian team won't win, what's to encourage these teams to carry on developing their space programs? With or without an X-Prize, it would still be worthwhile to have a space program we could call our own.
For crap's sake, factories and farming have been extracting water from Lake Ontario and the rivers that feed it (Don River, Humber, Etobicoke) for decades, why did you pick now to start whining about it?
Access to fresh, hot coffee is really really important, I start every important task with a fresh mug. We get our coffee machine serviced from outside the company. Allegedly a little more expensive but there's *always* good coffee available and no arguments about who's turn is it really to get coffee... Since its a fresh office why not splurge for a new mug for everybody's desk too-- you can get tons of good stuff at the dollar store these days.
You can help minimize the claustrophobia by choosing desks that go a little deeper, having space to your left ant right is good, but nothing says "crowded" like having a 19-inch monitor practically in your lap because the destop only goes back 24-30 inches. Of course if better desks are not availbable, consider LCD monitors.
Lessons learned? Well, Canada does enjoy a decent amount of prosperity that has grown since NAFTA.
However, that prosperity remains only by the whims of the U.S. Senate, who regularly legislates our industries into deep peril. Why? Most of the logging done in this country is done on land owned by the Queen, and she doesn't charge as much for logging rights as private landowners do. The U.S. Senate's opinion? We're "subsidising" Canadian loggers. So the U.S. Senate imposed a 30% tarriff (yeah, even under FTA's there's still lots of tarriffs) on our softwood lumber, leading to a severe drop in lumber exports.
Since NAFTA makes it easier to do business with the States and Mexico we've stopped looking elsewhere-- all our eggs are truly in one basket. With the majority of our GDP based on trade with the U.S. we just have to sit down and take it when they throw a new barrier on Canadians doing business stateside because if we fight it, the U.S. Senate could always find more things to tarriff...
At the moment the senators have their eye on the Canadian Wheat Board, which after seeing many farmers get through things like the Great Depression and maintaining and not raising the price of wheat through the high inflation of the 70's, the senate is eyeing the CWB as 'price fixers' and therefore Canadian wheat is subject to more tarriffs.
Make no doubt about it, whether you see the States' logic as spurious or not the facts are pretty clear that when you sign a free trade deal with the States your prosperity is directly tied to whether the U.S. government wants to buy your stuff...
My advice? Join the EEC instead and kiss that Schengen visa goodbye!
Actually, its just not fun to use-- alot of the terms are different from Photoshop and PaintShop Pro and its really hard to make variations of the interesting graphics effects
The quality of online tutorials are poor and rather unimaginative as opposed to PaintShop or Photoshop where I have an abundance of great ideas to learn from and change to suit my liking.
"Since I'm obviously too much of an idiot to find the 'proof' they claim they're showing, maybe someone else could go look and tell me where it is."
For safekeeping, I wrote the proof on a piece of paper and put it in the glove-compartment of my water-fueled car, in between two cartons of cancer-free cigarettes...
...Unfortunately I was carjacked by a gang of unicorns last week so you'll just have to wait until I remember what the proof really was.
..Let's not forget that when you bought a new release of an LP you'd get a record sleeve with lyrics and a gatefold album cover that you could look at and handle while spinning tunes. It was like getting a piece of art with your music.
Nowadays that flimsy 5-inch booklet with some sneering/posing teenagers on the front just doesn't compell me to pick it up, let alone buy it!
...I'm still trying to get my head around "Back to the Future"!

SARS Contained

· Score: 3, Insightful
...The death rate for SARS has been standing at around 10% since March. The fact is even when it was reported as being "out of control" in several places around the world it still wasn't spreading as virulently as influenza does every year-- or cholera-- or malaria...

Sheesh, did you actually read either book?

I'm not older, but I'm definately poopier.
Those *jerks*! The nerve of them shipping a BETA release with bugs in it.
And here I am, sitting around like a fool thinking "beta" was short for "betar than the final release".
You gotta be shitting me... Oh wait, you're right.
