I think you are the only one misrepresenting Canadians. Well my post was simple and to the point I hardly think it shows that I am arrogant or an introvert. To clarify things, the message merely refers to the fact other school are currently using anti cheating devices. They are necessary, and do catch cheaters that otherwise may slip through the final and pass the course.
A teacher of mine told me they were using a program such as the one mentioned here to check for cheaters in one of my programing class's at the University of Calgary.
c I disagree I think America Sucks. Bunch of world control freaks. Which is Ironic when half the population knows about as much about the world as a grade 3 student. The thing that ROCKS about America is freedom. but I think Australia would be a great place to live, even with censorship.
Whats the use of censorship if when you release the Black List every single site that is black listed gets double the traffic. It makes sense not to release the Black List for if they did it would neglect the whole purpose of the censorship. The Sites Black Listed would get a lot of attention that they don't deserve. This is especially the case for links to illegal sites such as child porn. Although I don't support this type of censorship I do support the decision not to release the Black List.
Many of you think that this would just be when you are at the point the GPS system has "tagged" . Rather I precieve this as an oppurtunity to have interavtive maps. Imagine you are visiting a city. Rather than having to look on the internet to find hotels and attractions you could visit a GPS mapping site and you could simply click on the hotel and go to its GPS web site. A global interavtive map that allows you to surf the world.
Now just imagine you are driving down the highway and you pull out your PDA, that has built in GPS and this new technology imbedded into it. You want to go to a resturant and as you pass by them you check out their web pages on your PDA.
Now you are on your way to visit some friends, but you forget your friends husbands name. hmmm pull out your interactive map click on their house and look at their web site.
The possibilities for tourism are endless. Technology is advancing to the wireless age and this would be a huge step in that direction.
I think the underlying theme of Black Hawk Down is money. Well the same happens to almost every movie made. Except maybe those small budget films like the Blair witch project, but even that was made to further the casts ability to make money in further movies. New movies need some important characteristics to succeed. They need:
1. An original Idea (at least to the target audience)
2. A genre that targets and audience that will pay money to watch the movie
The original idea has been something that almost everyone in the media world has had to face. With the background of movies its very hard to create this "original idea". That's why reality TV shows and real life movies have become so popular. An although the concept of reality in itself is not a original idea, its story in itself is dependent. When at the beginning of the movie it read "This happened" the movie gets a big push. The rest is history.
Black Hawk Down is a shoot em up gun battle with lots of action. This target audience is easy to make movies for, because it seems all the want is a few million dollars of special affects and a lot of action scenes, acting doesn't really mater. Black Hawk down is made up of 1 part acting and 30 parts action. And although this makes a simple script, the plot does not get the push from actors like Saving Private Ryan had. In Black Hawk Down this didn't mater the story un-foiled and told itself.
Black Hawks target audience was Americans. The on slot of patriotic films has crammed us with pictures of Mel Gibson running into battle and Ben Affleck stepping into a cockpit. It sells movies, it happened, and damn the special effects look great but the most important thing it sells.
In conclusion Black Hawk Down was a good movie and a great action movie. Its plot was thick from reality and action battles. Its an American patriotic film aimed for Americans watched by Americans and playing in American and Canadian theatres. I'm sure hollywood will be making lots of money on this one.
I believe the reason why Linux has not become a complete hit in the amateur computer market, probably the largest computer market in the world, is because its not as user friendly as Windows. I think AOL has the resources to develop Linux to this state. By developing an AOL version of Red Hat, AOL may be capable of increasing the popularity of Linux. Plus, wouldn't it be nice to get the newest version of AOL Linux delivered to your door.
AOL LINUX 6.0
The friendliness Linux ever
Plus when you are looking at the forum for more information and you get post like "Sun is Fucked" it kinda boggs down the conversation with information that is not relevant.
I dunno they have a flash opening to their site. That must make it real.
Canadians are known for their innovative names. Like the Canadian dollar and two dollar piece, the Looney and Tooney respectively.

Could this lead to internet providers selling customers to other providers that offer the same service, like they do with electricity?
