I buy all my games during Steam's seasonal sales. I bought the first 3 Assassin's creed games at Christmas for $5 each plus $2.50 for all the DLC for the 3rd one. That is probably cheaper than buying used.
Chrome uses a massive amount of RAM. About 3x more than Firefox. It is good if you have a lot of RAM but can even run poorly on 8 GB systems, such as if you have virtual memory disabled because of a SSD. I switched back to Firefox because of this.
The Canadian professional engineering bodies accept degrees from very few other countries but seem to have no problem accepting Iranian engineers. It might depend on the school but I have Iranian coworkers who didn't have to do any additional classes or testing to accept their degrees when registering.
I have had the same experience. They might have some new options that are different but they still have classic Thinkpads. I bought a W520 about 15 months ago and still love it. It is totally solid. 4 slots for RAM (4x8GB possible). mSATA slot so I can use a solid state drive and keep the 2.5" hard drive. Actually high resolution 1920x1080 or 1600x900. The video cards are Nvidia Quadro 3d workstation video cards but still way more powerful than the average laptop video cards and powerful enough to play most games on high settings.
Wind is good but only if you live in the largest cities in Canada and almost never travel. In the 3000+km of Canada west of Windsor Ontario I think there are only 4 wind zones: Vancouver, Whistler, Edmonton, and Calgary. It doesn't even cover all of metro Vancouver. Other larger cities and towns and along major highways there is roaming that costs extra for data, voice and text. Some towns I visit for work have no coverage at all.
The thing is North Korea and South Korea are technically at war. The Korean war has never ended, they only agreed to a ceasefire. Doing anything to promote or aid another country that your country is at war with is a serious crime in every country in the world. In this case however it sounds like the reaction is totally overblown as retweeting their dumb tweets isn't helping North Korea in any way.
Microsoft also has issues with Xbox Live although not close to as bad. Some guy when he bought Xbox Live Gold accidentally entered my email address which has linked his 5 year account to my email. Last weekend I bought a game on steam which requires Games for Windows Marketplace. Since I had to have an account to play the game I entered my email and it said I already had an account so I did a password reset. This other guy has now lost his Xbox Live Gold account with 7 months left already paid for and support doesn't seem to know how to fix it. Also I now have a stupid gamertag which apparently I can't change without an Xbox.
This doesn't compare to the skype hole but there should be no way to link an account to an unverified email address.
Or Gim in Korean. You want to buy the stuff toasted in sesame oil, not the unflavored version used for kimbap/sushi rolls. You can even buy Gim at Costco in Vancouver sometimes.
It doesn't change your point but Canada supplies the most oil to the USA. 2x more than Saudi Arabia and 3x more than Mexico who are 2nd and 3rd in supplying the US with oil.
Swimming is not measured to thousandths of a second. Because of tolerances in pool measurements etc. it is only measured within one hundredth of a second.
It is also not uncommon for someone to take off several seconds between the age of 15 and 16, especially in a longer race like the 400m IM. Unless any evidence appears that she was cheating I won't accuse her of anything. Performance can't be the only indication that someone is cheating. She had the best stroke technique in the pool for the backstroke and freestyle.
I finally upgraded my laptop with an mSATA SSD. Having the hard drive + SSD in a laptop is fantastic. Prices for mSATA had a big premium and lower performance over 2.5" SSDs until very recently. The 3cm by 5cm form factor is incredibly small and seems like it should take over soon for any small laptop. The only downside is I don't know if any laptops have more than 2 SATA 3 ports so most set them for the 2.5" and DVD locations. 265 MB/s write and 280 MB/s read is still amazing not to mention about 800x more IOPS compared to a spinning disk.
I also recommend thinkpads. I bought a Lenovo thinkpad w520 in October that I am very happy with. It is built like a tank so not ideal for travel but great if you mostly use at home. It supports up to 32 GB of ram in 4 slots and has a mSATA slot so you can have a SSD + 2.5" hard drive. Mine is 1600x900 and you can upgrade to 1080p. Fast quad core i7. It only cost $1200 Canadian without SSD. Lenovo seems to cycle coupons so whatever you buy wait until it is on sale for $150-250 off.
The only bad thing is mSATA SSDs in retail cost more with worse performance compared to the 2.5" SSDs.
I know someone who used to work for Siemens. He was commissioning some PLCs in Saudi Arabia and one of the Saudi employees was playing with a backup battery that was going to be installed inside one of the PLCs. The casing came off and underneath it said Made in Israel. They absolutely flipped out and Siemens had to replace all the batteries for all the PLCs with ones from a different origin.
For me Firefox uses way less memory than Chrome on both my computers. Less than 50% with the same tabs open. This is with many Firefox extensions installed and only one Chrome extension. On my older computer because of the memory issues Firefox is way faster as it isn't swapping like crazy. On my brand new i7 I also have all my youtube tabs crashing on Chrome pretty frequently. I just have to refresh the tab to get it back but I don't get anything like that with Firefox.
I use try to use Chrome for using Google services and Firefox for everything else.
This is absolutely true. Most studies that show LED replacing HPS (High Pressure Sodium) or LPS are at best very dishonest. They compare a 16000 lumen HPS with a 4500 lumen LED and say the lighting levels are the same. But they intentionally don't use a reflector for the HPS lighting so the light is going in every direction. LED lights just point straight down. They measure the light only below the lamp and claim LED is better.
I hope one day LED can match HPS in efficiency and price but it is a long way off.
Yes, take it 30m before bedtime. It is also fantastic for dealing with jet lag or shift work. It also gives you a deeper sleep so I feel like I got an extra 30m or so of sleep when I take it.
All power lines are ACSR (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced) in the USA and Canada and I would imagine other parts of the world. Copper wires are used generally for insulated cables. If you want power cables that aren't copper though, you can also buy aluminum and they are approved by the NEC and CSA. I don't think this copper coated steel cable is approved by existing electrical codes.

I guess they could give you more warning but that behavior is exactly what I would expect sync to do. I don't see any fault with Google.

You seemed to miss the part about keeping it free for existing users.

I can't do that as I lose access the game I just bought.

That is exactly why I haven't bought one yet. They need to include an SD/micro SD slot.
My windows 7 laptop supports up to 32 GB of RAM (Lenovo Thinkpad W520, 4 slots). And this 32GB limit is set by the hardware not by windows.

I bought a 2TB 3.5" disk in March 2011 for $70 Canadian. They were at $70 for at least a few months before the flood.
Daylight savings is more important the further north you are. I would much rather have light at 9pm than 4am in the summer.

They are usually listed as LED LCD.
