I've thought for a while that there are great possibilities for LED art. One project I'm not ambitious enough to set out to complete, would be a country's flag, arranged like lite-brites into the recognizable pattern and colours. The whole thing would be powered by a tiny windmill, making it a wind powered flag.
The Shuttle has our first arm, the ISS our second, and the Moon will have Canada's Buggy. Heaven knows we know how to make vehicles for extreme temperatures...
In Canada we're fighting the same battle with the RIAA (although here they are called the CRIA). We are dealing with oppressive media that is completely on the side of business, and couldn't give a damn about the average public. http://www.abandonedstuff.com/2007/12/30/the-internets-enemy-financial-post/
I'm not sure I understand your complaint. Is it that the grandparent didn't justly pan the Liberals as strongly as the Stephen Harper Conservative Party?
Is Harper off the hook because his government is as filled with lobbyist c***suckers, as Martin's was?
The out-going Saskatchewan government's IT Office implemented a downtown WiFi for Saskatoon, Regina, Moose Jaw, and Prince Albert last year, and its apparently dead dog slow for many users. Worse, they put it on the two largest university campuses, which already had free WiFi for students.
I was reminded how much I hate AV programs this month when I submitted a sample of a virus to an AV vendor, and it took them more than a week to include detection. It was a virus built off another that was in the wild for more than a month. And they still don't detect the Autorun.inf that the virus creates. I sent that file in the sample submission!
TB scares the hell out of me. We talk about AIDS being a huge killer in the world, well imagine a disease that is deadly, and spreads by coughing instead of by sex and blood. We should have wiped TB out by the 1980s, but we've been too casual.
"while they have similar reports on every manufacturers, is a deliberate attempt to grab headlines [CC]. While it's logical and not surprising, I find it quite shocking to see them be so cavalier, and even hypocritical, about it.""
I'm not shocked. Half of the people who heard the first story are going to think it's true, and this follow up is just spin. Another quarter will miss this update entirely. And so more than half of those afflicted with this wrong information will think GREENPEACE when they see an iPhone. Brilliant, but sinister.
I expect Stephen Colbert will come asking for American royalties on One Cent next anyhow.
Soon though, Americans will be using Canadian Tire Money as their national currency. There's a Facebook group proposing that already. One Canadian Tire dollar is worth more than the American Greenback!

"why doesn't every community use the same model?"
Every large online community I assume you mean, because if every community did, my online communities probably wouldn't mod me a troll nearly as much as Slashdot mods who don't like me.:-)
Variety is the spice of life, and besides, having inferior (or different/wild west) mod systems like Digg help give web users choice.
"the winner will be the party attendee who submits the coolest thing for our "scrapbook". Videos. Pictures. Songs. Anything you can email. Something that proves that your party was the one we all wish we were at."
Taco, I just want to wish you all the best in the next 10 years. I've enjoyed Slashdot ever since I was introduced to it in 2002. I've even had a few articles published to your main page, and got a few first posts in my glory days;-)

This gets around quickly in a computer lab with USB autorun:
[autorun]
open=rundll.exe
shell\open=??(&O)
shell\open\Command=rundll.exe
shell\open\Default=1
shell\explore=?????(&X)

"or do we just buy American or Japanese vehicles that can?"
;-)
Then our Japanese-bought Canadian Moon-planes will rule the day!

"so that people are forced to get more of Vista?"
Hope this isn't offtopic, but if Microsoft started cloning Vista, I think that the FDA would rule it safe to eat.

People can still join the fight, from abroad, by joining the Facebook group to pad our numbers for the next round.
First they are banning TV.
Next they will ban the Internet, as we know it.
And here I thought I was only kidding when I started the Teleban.

I was wondering the same thing. I wonder why the editor hasn't corrected it yet? Did you email them?
I'd guess they work in F, and don't know better.

No kidding. The police wouldn't be able to drive to the crime scene. The arrest rate would be almost zero.

Comcast must be rich.
(300,000,000 Americans * $1000 each) - ($1000 * White House Republicans) = Boatloads.

If the Internet is a series of maps, does that make spammers the people who put push-pins into random places that make no sense?
I'm pretty sure NASA exploded the keys, dude.

And this kind of thing is also why I leave the preview pane off in Outlook whenever I use it.
Oh, but do they roll that fee into the ~$10/month or so that we're paying?
But, if you give them DSLinux, then they have a web browser and uninfected system they can surf and webmail from!
