What school gives out 2 year degrees? Maybe things work different in Canada, but in Canada, it's impossible to get a degree in 2 years. Unless you go to school through the summer and take 9 courses a semester. Anyway, the two year colleges give you a diploma, and the 4 year colleges (we call them universities) give you a degree. Maybe the reason nobody was impressed was because it was just some 2 year diploma, and not a real degree from a good school.
In Canada income tax works kind of like this. Take whatever you make. The first 9000 doesn't get taxed. First 35000 gets taxed at 15.5%. Then there's 22% tax on the portion between 35K and 75K. 26% on the part between 75K and 120K, and 29% on the part over 120K. That's federal, provincial is the same system, but lower percentages. So, the poor end up paying less tax. Then there's provincial and federal sales tax, but those don't get charged on "essentials" like groceries. So again, people who only buy what they need to survive, and not many luxuries pay less tax. I think this works out pretty well. I'm not sure how different this is from the american tax system, but mostly I understand how this works, and I'm pretty happy with it.
Firstly, your sample size of 2 isn't very big. Also, H-1B is supposed to be for jobs that could not be filled with American applicants. Seems to me that they are pretty lenient on this. I'm just a Canadian, so I'm not completely filled in on this, but it seems that they are hiring H-1B's to do the job when they can't find an American to do the job for little enough money.
I'm with dreamhost, and I they run their SMTP servers on port 576 (I think) probably for this exact reason. Sure it requires a little extra configuration, and a lot of confusion for people who just assume it's port 25, but at least you are able to connect.
However, if the movie is even remotely good, and you don't want to go at 8 AM, or 2pm on a weekday, then showing up late usually results with you and your friend sitting on opposite sides of the theatre in the first row, with your neck bent all teh way back.
Maybe touch screens should update their interface to support hovering, Ctrl+Touch = hover, or something like that. Is there a way for websites to detect if the browser doesn't support hover? It's nice to be able to have menus that appear when you hover over them. I wouldn't want to have to start clicking on everything just to appease a few iphone users.
However, most video cameras have a pretty strong zoom on them. Usually at least 10x. It's probably pretty easy to be quite far away from the scene and still get a good shot at what's going on.
Who cares if I get people to acknowledge my patents. Does that mean they are valid patents? Would a judge even consider this? I don't see how getting people to pay for licenses for you patents adds any validity to them. Especially when nobody even knows what the patents are.
But it would still allow backups to be made, because that part is illegal, so the clause that contains the part about making backups won't be able to be enforced. However, I still don't know if this works. Stopping somebody from doing something legal is not actually illegal. For instance, I could license you my patent on the terms that you may only sell the product by people ordering directly via telephone. Normally it would be legal for you to sell the product whichever way you want, but since you're agreeing to the contract, you have to abide by it, or you are in breach of contract.
The problem is for home users is that if you only print 5 pages per week, then you end up with clogged ink cartridges. Which means you have to replace them. I currently do no printing at home, because it's just too much hassle. Every time I went to print something out, the heads would be clogged. Next printer I'm buying will be a laser. Even if it ends up costing me more per sheet, because of the high initial cost of the printer, I'll be happy that I can actually print stuff out when I want to.
Thank you. This is the point nobody seems to be getting. Nobody is saying that emails can't be used as evidence, but that in order for them to be used, the cops must go through the proper procedures. If they don't use proper procedures to obtain the email, then it is inadmissible in court. Same goes for the telephone. Just as it is trivially easy for the cops to tap your phone, they are not allowed to do it unless they go through the proper procedures for obtaining a warrant. Saying that you should just encrypt your email if you want it to stay private is the same as saying you should build a 20 foot concrete wall around your house if you don't want them doing illegal searches of your property.
I still prefer SageTV. It's about 1000 times easier to set up, and has most of the same functionality. The $70 for the software is nothing for the ease of use it gives me.
My hosting provider uses a different port for their SMTP servers. Probably to specifically get around this kind of non-sense with ISPs blocking SMTP ports. It's probably a lot easier to just tell users to use some other port than dealing with ISPs that block ports.
Aero. No kidding, it if one of the 5 best looking UI of the moment
How Many UIs are there even? Mac OS, KDE, Gnome, XP, Vista. There only is 5. Sure there's others, Enlightenment, XFCE, and whatever but they aren't quite a popular. Saying that Aero is one of the best 5 UI isn't really saying much.
With all the reality shows, it's amazing they haven't come up with a show where they lock a bunch of people in a small "space capsule". They already have issues with people arguing when they are living in luxury mansions or deserted islands, but just imagine if you locked them all in a small box. They wouldn't be able to simulate 0 g, or radiation or any other environmental factors, but it would be nice to study the social factors.
Especially on a product that has almost 0 reproduction cost. It's understandable that Sony doesn't lower the price on the PS3 to increase demand, because they are already selling it at less than cost. But for a product that costs nothing to manufacture (all the expensive R&D is already done) it's the best move they could make. If they offered Vista to consumers at a price competitive to what Dell, HP, Lenovo and others pay for a copy of Vista, then I would probably go out and get a copy, dual boot, just to see what all the fuss is about. But I'm not going to spend hundreds of dollars on a copy or go out and get a new computer just to try out their new operating system.
Well assuming you can get a decent amount of RAM for that PIII, it shouldn't run all that slow, even with XP. I had a PII 266 until May of last year that did quite well, but RAM chips started dieing and I found it was cheaper to replace the computer than to buy RAM for it. I would have kept it if cheap RAM had been available.
Well, assuming it's a video game, then it wouldn't be actual child porn, just virtualized, with computer graphics. So, do you disagree with it in this sense, since there's no actual children that are being harmed.
what deadlines and stress are there in the school library service. Sorry if i'm being a little naive here, but it doesn't seem like school library services would be a high-stress, high-paced type of work environment.
Well, Snow White was made in 1937, and they still make a ton of money bringing that one out of the "vault" every 5 years or so. I could see them wanting to keep that one under copyright for quite a while. There's quite a few other "classics" that they'd probably want to keep copyrighted forever.

From the info on the forums.

Just have a grocery store on the bottom floor. People/businesses could go there and buy the food directly. 0 transportation cost.

Didn't IBM make a commercial about this?
Reminds me of the movie The Man Who Sued God. One of the best movies I've ever seen.

So much for Nintendo consoles only have "kiddie games"
