  1. Polar Bear Diamonds on Diamonds - Are They Really Worth the Cost? · · Score: 0

    Here in Canada, we have our own high quality diamond mines. There are no conflict diamonds coming out of these mines. Every daimond is laser engraved with a polar bear on it, very small and out of the way. I can't remember what companies sell it, but if you drop by any jewelers here and ask for them, you will be told the spiel of where they came from and all. The diamonds are among the highest quality, and can free your concious (as well as your wallet) when buying a ring. Americans wil like the exchange rate too.

  2. Puny Americans!! on Pledge of Allegiance Ruled Unconstitutional · · Score: 0

    MORBO is your only hope for salvation!! In 3 days I must be unilaterally accepted as your beloved and feared leader, put my witty sayings on your money, my beautifull giant brain on your flags and my ever watchful eyes in your bedrooms! If you do not comply I shall rain my wrath upon you like so many Jerry Falwells and consume your souls!! You have no other choice in the matter, I shall be your KING!!!

  3. Re:Free as in Speech! on Canadian Government to Jam Radio Signals · · Score: 0

    well, there is always free speach in Canada. Always will be. but the Charter of Rights and Freedoms has a clause. Something about within reasonable limits. We can excercise any right we want to, within reasonable limits. And sometimes we have to place limitations on those rights to guarantee the rights of others.

    And another thing. When Sir John A. McDonald and the Fathers of Confederation wrote up the Charter, they took heavily from the American whatever it is. Sir John respected the what not and thought it was a fine peice of writing. Canadian and American laws, rights, freedoms and duties are much alike. It's the interpretation through the courts that make them seem different.

    good day all.

  4. See, the thing is... on Mobile Phone in Your Teeth! · · Score: 0

  6. Why is this surprising? on A First Look at Netscape 7 · · Score: 0

    Everything new and exciting that gets done in the new releases of IE, Netscape and (yeeeeach) Mozilla has been done for longer and done better in Opera. Why can't you little slash gay idiot wanna be linux leprechauns get this? It's not hard, just check out the Opera site. The ads get you down? Keys are posted here every time a Browser War inducing post is written. Or hit up Altavista. Easiest place to find cracks for the noob. Simply put, Opera paves the way and the rest just ride the coatails. Wake up to that fact and you'll see. Just check it out and you won't go back.

  7. Problem? Solution! on Mozilla 1.0 RC2 is out · · Score: -1, Troll

  8. Attention S-Mart Shoppers on Slashback: Wal-Modem, Culpability, Misquotes · · Score: 0

    Every one know that to shop smart, shop S-Mart. It's the only way to go..

  9. Hmmmm on Studios Forcing ReplayTV to Collect Viewing Info · · Score: 0
    What about the old fashioned way of switching channels when the commercials come up? Even with peasant vision (is that politically correct?), we could always turn to the other channel and there would be something good on. And when that show came to commercials, click went the remote and back to the other channel, and we were back in the saddle. No commercials. Same goes for the sat dish we have now, except for more channels.

    How will the huge assed companies try to block us out of that one? Remote remote control control? (Think it out, it makes sense)

    Don't get so upset when they try to make those little boxes make you watch the commercials, because commercialless tv is only a click away.

  10. This is a Troll. Do not Take seriously. I repeat on Condor Chick Born In Wild · · Score: -1, Troll
    Dammit. They make such good omelettes. A little cheese, onion. mmmmm. Nothing better in life that. Even slippers from african endangered albino rhino.

    Let's try not to let fact interfere with our speculation here, OK?

  11. Finally on Time Travel · · Score: 1

    It's bloody well time. I've been reading to much sci-fi books. When do we get FTL? And antimatter torpedoes, and intergalactic war with furry cat like creatures? Come on human race, lets get with it! Time to fire up the ion drives and get outta this modern dark ages in under 12 parsecs. Sheesh..

  12. Of course!! on Exploding Star May Have Damaged Life on Earth · · Score: 1

    I guess that explains the French...

  13. Redundant, but what the Hell.. on Chinese Explorers 'Discovered America'? · · Score: 1

    I guess all the studies years ago and the documentaries on CBC, Discovery, the relics found in the Maritime Provinces, and even the frickin Vignettes cartoon commercials are all wrong in the 'fact' that the Vikings were the first seafaring people to reach the New World around the year 1000 AD. Where do they come up with those crazy ideas? I know that there has to be posts like this, but still. They're all nuts.

  14. Important Question on Europa May "Nurture" Life · · Score: 1

    Important question: Are they ramen, or are they varelse?

  15. New? Hardly on GPS Meets Agriculture for Precision Farming · · Score: 1

    Various systems like this have been in use since at least the early 90's, and have been getting steadily better since. We implemented the idea in 95, and found the inforamtion it has provided us invaluable. The tractor and combine mounted computers are really the only ones my dad ever wants to use. It's really been too long since technology like this has made it to the farm.

  16. Comcast on Is Comcast Intercepting Packets? · · Score: 1

    I know a fellow who works helpline for Comcast in Edmonton. They can do anything to Comcast subscribers. Literally. Just be thankfull that nothing really bad has happened. Those pfy's have no idea what's really going on, and are just drones doing what they are told. You Americans are so funny at times. And so naive.

  17. Screamers on Modular Robots · · Score: 1

    If it turns out to be an incarnation of the robots from Screamers, I call first dibbs on the patent to the heartbeat shield thingies. And total rights to the distibution of them.

  18. You'd think that, wouldn't you? on NACI: Gov't of South Africa Pushes Open Source · · Score: 1

    Your an idiot. Grade 10 World Studies. 1st World-Well Developed Countries (USA, Canada, Britain, and until it's collapse, U.S.S.R)The leaders in the world. 2nd World-Mid-Developed Countries (S.A. countries, along with South Africa, China)The followers in the world. 3rd World-Under Developed Countries (Ethiopia, and those other small african nations)The hopeless in the world. It is now politically incorrect to term nations as above. They are now to be refered (last time I heard) to as 'Developed' and 'Developing'.

  19. Re:UT does it for me... on What Games are You Addicted To? · · Score: 1

    I agree UT is one those games that kills brain cells scores at a time. Gimme a server running Fatboy Instagib, and I'll sit there for hours. But I'll drop it for FVF Quake everytime.

  20. I hate my machine on Security Hole in Morpheus · · Score: 1

    My 26400 dial up speed and complete lack of important files or respect for my computer means that the morpeous bug isn't bothering me. I can't even download it in a respectable time. But my dial up connection and craptacular machine does bother me. Oh, I hate my life .

  21. Re:Robot wars? on Robots vs. Humans And Other Security Issues · · Score: 1

    Pretty sure that there are alot of mindless drones out there that small heavy flat-sided machines with washing machine motors in them would be able to take over. And rather quickly too, I might add, unfortunatly knowing some of these drones. Well, they are weak and stupid people, and naturally the fittest take over. It's just the it is.
