  1. Re:Is this such a great idea...? on Ontario Schools License StarOffice · · Score: 1

    Speaking as a graduate of the Ontario School Systems , High School diploma here pretty well qualifies you to work as labour, exceptions exist of course. On w hole however you can't really go further with out a trade certificate, a College Diploma(applied education) or a University Degree. Even if the basic concepts of word processing weren't transferable, you'd relearn the appropriate software package somewhere in your post-secondary education.

    There is more then one "Canadian Accent" Just ask a Newfoundlander, a Quebec'er, ect... Where I'm from Greater Toronto Area Ontario, I don't hear aboot.

    Speaking of odd pronounciations though, why do yanks say sarry, like the Indian dress Sarie. SORR-Y :P

  3. Re:Cost? on Ontario Schools License StarOffice · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Well it is somewhere, the problem is that no one cares to look for it unless the money is declared missing by the opposition party. I believe on a whole we trust our government a slight bit more, until that it is it's brought to our attention. Good thing there is a federal election here on June 28th, god willing a minority liberal government will be in control.

  7. Re:2 lessons on Lessons Learned from RFID Field Test · · Score: 1

    So, if you needed lesson 2 to note that lesson one is always true then one could assume that unless specified lessons are not always true, so that would mean that lesson 2 is not always true. If lesson 2 isn't true some of the time it follows that lesson 1 isn't true at those times as well. so...

    Yes. I have too much free time, whats it to ya?

  9. Re:Not a privacy issue on U.S. Postal Service To Develop 'Intelligent Mail' · · Score: 1

    If I am contacting you chances are I'm going to tell you who I am, that doesn't mean that I want the government to have a registry of every letter I send you, when i sent it and from where. I don't mind telling you my name when I contact you, I just don't think it has to be in a government database for each letter.

  10. Re:When what now? on When Good Spammers Go Bad · · Score: 3, Funny

    Well, if the only good spammer is a dead spammer, and good spammers can go bad, then there must be Zombie spammers, an army of Zombie spammers, sending us e-mail about viagra for the undead, how to get your fangs the whitest, and an invitation to meet up with that sexy zombie in cuba!

    ... Anyone else have solutions to this dilemma?

    I sure do, off-shore production and smuggling operation. If I want to wreak havoc and chaos it is my god given consitiutionally protected right to do so.

    Ahem... Excuse me, what I ment to say was that it's only a tool. You know guns don't have special attachments on their sights so you can only shoot in-season game. Hold the user responsible, not the maker or the tool.

  20. Re:Oops on Star Wars Extras Needed · · Score: 4, Informative

    Well, it's all shot out of sequence obviously. So the little that the extras do see, will be very little sence to them. I'd also be willing to wager that any scenes critical to the plot of the movie aren't going to take place in front of large ammounts of by-standers, and if they do, chances are the by-standers are just going to be in a matte shot then cloned in anyhow. Chances are they wouldn't pick anything juicy up at all, save MABEY the third directors assistant's gophers first name. :D
