It could have been both (at 766 sites, it could quite easily have been both), not to mention that business websites could have been blocked as well. It was a nice, tidy, cut-and-dry violation of the Canadian telecommunications regulations act. The CRTC will probably have some fun things to say about it.
I don't know if the Slashcode even accepts those squigglies. Let's find out... under Windows, you can access ASCII codes by using Alt+four-digit-number-corresponding-to-desired-cha racter-map.... Alt+0231: ç Alt+0232: è Alt+0233: é Alt+0234: ê
What's the Linux equivalent? Touché.;-)
(I think it was "Ctrl-E" under BeOS, but I forget)
This is very true, especially in the development tools arena... but still, Windows and Office are so damned expensive... blech. I wish they'd give the OS and office suite away, and find some other way to establish a revenue stream on the free products...
Most shows have a 'pilot' episode, typically a two-parter, that defines all the characters and establishes their motivations and personalities. It's typically followed by a few shows of all the characters settling into their storyplace.
You watched the settling; you didn't watch the definition. Fox chose "The Train Job" instead of the pilot as the first show they aired, because they wanted more "action". And in doing so, they screwed the writers and the entire series, because from that point on they had to play catchup to explain what was going on.
They didn't show the pilot ("Serenity", no relation to the movie;-) until after the show was *cancelled*. So, that might explain why you didn't like it. Did you like "Dark Angel", with Jessica Alba?
The Universal execs have stated that their decision to move the release from April to September was based on marketplace competition. I.e., Star Wars 3.
They have also stated that they now regret the decision, because the audience turnout and reaction for the previews has stunned them enough to think that it would have held its own against SW3:ROTS.
Such an action would need to have the approval of Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom, Canada and Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith.
True, but explaining it over the phone is far, far easier.
"Insert the CD in the CD drive." [explain what a CD drive is] "Click Next, Next, Next" [explain what a next button is] "Done. Now start it." [explain how to use the actual program]
See, very little of that involves explaining the operating system itself. It's all about the application. That's the shortcoming in Linux; it's never about the application, it's always about the OS. It has a massive ego problem.
I'd much rather see one that says all *people* are equal. That's much more important to me. I know of at least one - and the one I'm thinking of doesn't shun other faiths, either.
The insurance company would probably require a death certificate and a full autopsy - even with cryogenics, I don't think most bodies could be put properly together again (in working order) after having everything removed. Including...

It becomes 'censorship', and it is an honored American custom.

Awwwww, not even Oracle? Bah! That sucks. Ruined my day, you did.
You installed it from the CD? How did it go? I've only ever done network installs ... or the miniinst.
Sounds like a good way to deal with politicians.

Slander. Squared.

You misspelled "heat death of the universe".

Every time you make that joke, God kills a Bothan.

Yeah, I think this article has it wrong, and the books were sold at a Coquitlam Stupidstore.
I think the actual name is "The Real Canadian Superstore", and most people just call it 'Superstore' or 'Stuporstore' or 'Stupidstore'.
But remember, it's Zed-Pee-Emm, not Zee-Pee-Emm.
I'll take "Before and After" for $2000, Alex.

What are the odds that the system was trying to preserve metadata attached to the files that only HFS+ would be able to store?
I've had to! To use it, at least, not to install it. Haven't run into that situation yet.

Or the big Red Squadron coverup, for that matter ... the one that had Tom Paris under his previous identity ... ;-)
Simple - he didn't name an OS.
He named a kernel.
Yeah, but who wants to deal with lesbian sysadmins?
(I jest, I jest. Lesbian sysadmins are much easier to deal with than teenage-hormone-overloaded dorkguys.)
You would probably still sound smarter than a large number of CNN and FOX News anchors and interviewees, however.
