The NDP specialize in spending a lot more money than they have. We just got rid of them in BC last election, and they were without a doubt the worst thing to ever happen to BC. We're now so deep in debt that we can only see the light from above for two minutes around noon. What's sad is that there is probably enough of a split in the vote that they'll get in again next election.
There is absolutely no hope for Canadian politics.
As I was posting that, I was trying to remember when I'd had the busy signal on my previous stay with Fido (ended because a AT&T Rogers salesbot fast talked me). It was on the way out of the final day of the Festival of Lights. I wanted to call my girlfriend (overseas) and tell her where I was, since it was my usual time to call her. I ended up just sending an SMS
I've been with Fido in the Vancouver area for six months now, and I've never had a system busy signal. I have no idea what they're like elsewhere in Canada, but in the GVRD they're top notch -- way ahead of Rogers, and arguably slightly better (and way less scummy) than Telus.
I still can't believe that a trivial use of cookies managed to get patented. I suppose this is inevitable when the patent office is run as a for-profit center.
But by and large, these look like common sense changes that will likely cause a great deal less trouble than the move from 2000 to XP did for application vendors.
While that's true, it's worth noting that Apple was not exactly clear that Gershwin had also died that day. Developers understood it, but some users didn't get it for a while.
More interesting to me than GnomeMeeting is OpenH323, which uses the MPL. That will presumably allow other developers and existing chat programs to be compatible with it.
There's a plethora of standards for video chat. It's nice to see this product it based on an existing standard, and some code is available for that standard under a license suitable for commercial applications.
I was referring to the popcorn comment./me is a standard IRC command, which has been around since the late 80s... 15 years, not 30, but still a long time.
The point, I think, is that the only way people are going to know it is doing stuff like this (and thus, be able to make an educated decision) is if stuff like this is public.
I mean, if Google was blocking all search results for Linux-related sites, wouldn't you want to know? Especially if you already know the Linux sites, and thus don't search for their existence (if not content) on a regular basis.

In addition to this, make sure to not set them up as an administrator.
I'm not saying you shouldn't leave them with administrator access, just make sure that it isn't their day-to-day user account.
They charge the $50 setup fee whether you get your number transferred or not.
But Telus' usenet server totally bites.
Mind you, fewer people every year seem to know what a usenet server is, so this isn't a big deal to most folks.
THAT WAS IT!

Thanks... that's been bugging me...

Shaw (cable) and Telus (DSL) both serve the Richmond area as well. I'm sure this is the only option available for WIRELESS broadband, though.

I'm no Microsoft fan, in fact quite the opposite.

One would hope so.
And, actually, although I agree they get mentioned every time someone mentions robots, I think they're especially appropriate when replacing servents.
(Forgive any bad spelling; I haven't slept yet. :)
Why am I thinking of Elijah Bailey and the Robot trilogy (especially Naked Sun) right now?
Which book in particular is that?
1 -- Finally can have a multi-button mouse (though it is a Logitech, and the trackpad still only has one button)
Multi-button mouse have been available on the Macintosh for at least 10 years.

Still, it definitely needs some work.
All along, I've been wondering if enough lies are floating around at SCO that they actually believe their horse crap.
It looks like this proves that's the case. They've lost any grip on reality now.
That would be slick as hell...
Although I think your example is a little contrived. At least, I hope so. :)
Also MPL, I take it?

Try here: history of chat.
Email me and I'll tell you where to send the cheque.
I was referring to the popcorn comment. /me is a standard IRC command, which has been around since the late 80s... 15 years, not 30, but still a long time.
Possibly because it's an old saying that's been around for at least thirty years.
Well, that's one way to completely fail to keep legal costs down.
/me grabs a bag of popcorn and waits for the show...

Yeah, I RTFA, but it's pretty sparse. Can anyone involved explain a bit more how this works?
I would think it would be similiar to the MandrakeMove(?) live linux CD we saw earlier this year, but bad things happen when I make assumptions. :)
(No pun intended.)
I'm taking this article at face value, though I probably shouldn't... (ooh, another pun!)
Is defacing currency legal in the US? Here, if done on purpose it carries a fine.
And I think you'll have a very difficult time convincing someone you burned the right eye of 50 bills by accident.
