the only reason knife crime is such a big issue in the UK is because of the strict gun laws. By august of this year we've surpassed the previous years knife killings but even thats pretty low at 21? for a city of 12million?. Somehow I doubt banning gun videos are going to do anything about the knife killings.
I remember reading Harry Harrison - Death World 2 in grade 6 and I really loved it.
I read the whole trilogy a couple years ago and it's classic scifi but fast enough to keep the attention of a younger reader.
The second book is about a guy who crash lands on a planet with lots of tribes with different proprietary technologies that he then hacks to improve and use for different things in order to escape.
ya I just meant that those porn high traffic restricted nodes would just be left off the server lists cause ppl would catch on.
this'll be an intresting year with microsoft loading on tons of DRM and linux maturing as a mainstream desktop. It's funny how the two go hand in hand.
I don't think he's trolling here, the human mind has a failing in that it likes to form habits. You can see that with non physically addicting things like chronic or in this case p0rn. Sure you might live a healthy life with it.
but if you're addicted you'd probably be better off without. It's such a marketting gimic to disregard the posibilities of addiction. Then there's the fact that he posts anonymously, how hard is it to sign up.
** back on topic **
There's no way the porn industry could do anything about "copyrighted" material being distributed cause all it takes is a slight change in the archive to change the hash and blow the system away. The only way it would work is if the porn industry started setting up tons of high traffic nodes distributing all sorts of stuff just to block some porn on some searchs, but they'd just get blocked anyways.
ya I choose the pound cause I moved over to london so it's what's in my head. But ya I find that except for electronics and media, goods have the same sticker price between canada the us and the uk. Other exceptions would be bulk places which are cheaper anyways.
the regular minimum wage across canada is hoverring at 8.50ish from what I remember.
then you can go into the whole savings of having healthcare and loads of other variants. All I know is that if I wanted to work at that age I probably would've gotten someone to say I worked for them instead.
minimum wage in BC is currently $6CDN or 2.6 pounds for the "training wage" for the first 500h(?). You get people on the bus handing out flyers for the site 6buckssucks.com. One thing that factories have learned is that people have a higher moral when they don't have to use punch cards. Now this probably won't give much better results than punch cards but I'd think that the moral result would be even worse.
now you could argue that hey if they're working at McD's they're probably tranisitory and often with no experience. Sure it'll help with bad employees but it'll also get rid of the good employees a lot faster.
I sounds like they're getting the shaft twice for working at McD's. The difference is that at the fish processing plant they meantion the wage is upto $21ph CDN or 9.1 pounds. He's worried about the bottom line. McD's looses more in left over food than they would in having employees coming 15min late.
either way it sounds like the use of biometrics in vancouver bars to Tracking Patrons.... Go Canada
and for anyone having to go through this process, rub jelly on your hands and you'll get a lot of faults in hand reads. The more the faults occur, the more managers will get pissed off that 30min a day or longer is spent getting the machine to work.
back when IBM was using OS/2 Warp on it's workstations a lot of ppl started installing NT4 on it instead. My friend was in tech support and they'd do that their manager would care occasionally. How likely will this happen with windows vs. linux especially with the business guys. It's probably less of a concern than OS/2 Warp vs windows since linux is definetly cooler, but the migration and training could always be botched, giving ppl the wrong impression.
I went for BT Yahoo and I think it's a 29.99 for the same thing (it's cause I don't own the phone line) I should've gone with virgin or somebody else.
I was paying less than $29.99 CDN which works out to 13 with shaw in canada
rip off is right
I had the same thing happen with my canon digital camera but it was under warranty still. They wanted more than the price of the camera to repair it for a lens reallignment. When the tech is simpler ie: old palm pilots you see third parties croping up to offer repair services but with laptops it's hard.
The best thing is to go through another store that will sell you that third party insurance, it's probably not as good as going through the company but it's something.
you're right that for cheap stuff, skip the warranty. But with computers a lot of it is rushed to market.
just my 0.02
sony has had two sources for laptops america and asia. The American ones are usually the bigger ones and have had most of the problems. The Asian models have had a better track record, but seriously buy a 3year warranty on laptops so you don't have to treat it like glass.
I've had a dell inspiron for 2.5 years and I've had to warranty it for at least 10 different issues over 4 mail outs. anything over 3 years isn't too much since you'll want to sell it after that.
I Robot was filmed outside of vancouver at Central City
which was the future location of my old university until a shaddy dealing between an insurance company and the previous government left it open to film crews. Cat woman was filmed there too.

Cam releases are depreciated since Telesyncs (cam from projection booth with the sound connected to the projector) come out at the same time. So when it's an internal job how can it be stopped ? Projectionists often run movies after their shifts so that they can watch it on their own.
Any nonsense about checking for cameras or confiscating camera phones is a irrelevant since there's always going to be Telesync releases and Screeners released. If they were smart they'd release screeners in cheap dvd players with the door glued shut like they do with some CD reviewers.
People are still buying DVDs even with DVD-rips around because they look better and the packaging often adds value. It's the same with the RIAA they would blame their recession losses on piracy before they would examine their antiquated distribution chain.
mod chips will never be legal because hardware has always been subsidized by the games and it's out of their control. Hardware mods usually come about when a company produces two models of a product based on the same hardware but with a small difference just like the Promise Fastrak66 and the Ultra66

NHibernate has been around since 2005, Entity Framework is the MS copy of it that's appeared the last couple years, its quite xml heavy last I checked
With Modern Warfare 2 it gets worse,
you need the DLCs or you won't get matched into a multiplayer game or when you do you get kicked out after a couple levels

You should try and learn a language a year to see the differences.
I'm using c# and the mono project to build apps for linux. I'm also building apps in java and I find the mono project to be a better experience.
of course not many people will stray from what they know, so its often hard to get an accurate comparison unless you try it yourself.
