There are very few indians here, whereas when I did my undergrad at USF in Tampa, Florida, it was packed full of them. The indians that are here certainly are neither smelly nor uneducated. No wonder you posted as an AC.
Well, seeing as I already cannot afford a house here, I fail to see how it can get any worse. Plus, the Asian ESL students on Robson are the easiest girls to pick up in Western North America:)
You probably should have checked the "post anonymously" button...
Dam, can I change to anonymous or delete the post? I don't see any option... Not that I'm embarrassed for being sexually free, but some professional acquaintances know who I am >.
I'm posting this as an AC for obvious reasons, but many women have no problem or even like facials--even here in Vancouver you'll find that with experience.
Calling Canada, and Vancouver of all places, backwater, is very insulting. Vancouver is near the top in the Mercer quality of life ratings for cities on Earth; the highest US city is not even in the top 20 (and it's Hawaii, not even continental US). http://www.mercerhr.com/referencecontent.jhtml?idC ontent=1128060#top50all And if you're going to critique Mercer, you better be able to back it up because their research is considered the standard given how widely used their services are.
Parents have very little influence on children: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/ne ws/2007/04/26/nedu26.xml
Thus, your point is defeated and your comment false.
Also see "The Nurture Assumption: Why Children Turn Out the Way They Do; Parents Matter Less Than You Think and Peers Matter More", which has a very extensive bibliography of research that proves that parents are next to irrelevant in how their children turn out.
Next time do some research before posting musings you pulled out of your ass.

Anyone that's ever ordered electronic components knows that small ones always come in tape reels. I've yet to place an order from Digikey from example for surface mount stuff that doesn't send me cuts of tape reel, even if I order in small quantities (say 5x).
To imply that acceleration of technological progress is something that will continue unbounded is naive. Most likely it simply is in a phase that has not yet hit limiting factors. My personal favorite is complexity: with increasingly enlarging and fragmenting bodies of knowledge, it becomes less and less likely that the connections between disparate areas needed to be made for further leaps in knowledge will be made easily, even with eventually enhanced by computing devices brains.
Comments like these: "Although it may seem odd, passive components (resistors, etc.) are shipped to companies like Gigabyte in what are essentially tape reels." make me astonished at his ignorance of what he was seeing. This guy knows absolutely nothing of what he was seeing. The last person that should have been touring an electronics manufacturer.
You imbecile, the US is putting ten interceptors there, whereas Russia has thousands of missiles. This is no threat to Russia, and is just lame Putin posturing.
Funny that communism and proprietary software would be the 'usual suspects' as you say, given that the opposite of proprietary software, open source, is an ideology not that unfitting in a communist framework.
You idiot, Pyrex has low thermal expansion coefficient and won't fracture from cool spills while it's hot. That's why lab glassware is made of the same kind of borosilicate glass.

I wish I had family.
What if Apple starts selling apples?
Only if you count ladyboys as women.

RTFA! You can't use QE to transfer information faster than c, either. You can collapse the waveform but you can't control the outcome.

It's incredibly ignorant to think that capacitors contain gold
This is false; the real problem is corrosion due to electrolysis. Next time do your research before posting.

I don't get it.

ICBMs come from above, not horizontally, so valleys and mountains are irrelevant.
It cannot be burned an infinite amount of times, due to finite proton half-life (though that's upwards of 10^36 years, so it's quite far off).

This is a total ad hominem, as what I have in my signature has no bearing on the argument.

I don't know about WiFi, but here's a sampling of the recent papers on cellphones.
"Tumour risk associated with use of cellular telephones or cordless desktop telephones" 2006
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=p ubmed&cmd=Retrieve&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=1703462 7
From the abstract: "We found for all studied phone types an increased risk for brain tumours, mainly acoustic neuroma and malignant brain tumours."
"Mobile phone use and the risk of acoustic neuroma" 2004
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=p ubmed&cmd=Retrieve&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=1547571 3
From the abstract: "However, our data suggest an increased risk of acoustic neuroma associated with mobile phone use of at least 10 years' duration."
And so on. There also appear to be direct cognitive effects:
"Mobile phone effects on children's event-related oscillatory EEG during an auditory memory task." 2006
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=p ubmed&cmd=Retrieve&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=1684697 9
From the abstract: "The current findings suggest that EMF emitted by mobile phones has effects on brain oscillatory responses during cognitive processing in children."
Then a number of studies related to changes in specific cellular functions:
"Melatonin modulates 900 Mhz microwave-induced lipid peroxidation changes in rat brain" 2006
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=p ubmed&cmd=Retrieve&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=1689826 3
From the abstract: "The levels of lipid peroxidation in the brain cortex and hippocampus increased in the MW group"
"Nerve cell damage in mammalian brain after exposure to microwaves from GSM mobile phones" 2003
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=p ubmed&cmd=Retrieve&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=1278248 6
From the abstract: "weak pulsed microwaves give rise to a significant leakage of albumin through the blood-brain barrier....We found highly significant (p< 0.002) evidence for neuronal damage in the cortex, hippocampus, and basal ganglia in the brains of exposed rats."
"Effects of electromagnetic radiation from a cellular phone on human sperm motility: an in vitro study" 2006
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=p ubmed&cmd=Retrieve&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=1697122 2
From the abstract: "In addition to these acute adverse effects of EMR on sperm motility, long-term EMR exposure may lead to behavioral or structural changes of the male germ cell."
And so on. A lot of studies discuss issues with DNA related issues:
"Mobile phone radiation causes changes in gene and protein expression in human endothelial cell lines and the response seems to be genome- and proteome-dependent" 2006
