That's a start, Canada can probably support 8 teams max. There are 6 teams off the top of my head that should be contracted, the talent pool is thin enough as is... Case in point: Brian McCabe.
Pretty much! The saddest thing is that it was the hottest sport in the early 90's, they snagged a lucrative deal from ESPN during it and then went on strike letting the MLB and NBA to pass them. By far the stupidest move that they've made in the attempt to make inroads in to the "non traditional markets".
It's a bloody shame that the NHL bends over to the likes of NBC when the CBC pays them over half a billion dollars for rights. More money then they'll ever EVER see from a US broadcaster any time soon. Thank you afternoon games....
Sorry... still fuming over last nights results... Go sens.
Uh.. Partial kudos to the CBC for actually showing the game but in the usual Toronto is the Centre of the Universe fashion they rushed the end of the game and had about 3 minutes of post game footage before cutting to a TAPED TORONTO FC GAME.
Yes that's right.
Ottawa wins the Eastern Conference in stunning fashion with Afredsson potting the winner in a 1 on 3 in OT against Buffalo, then CBC cuts to a soccer game.
This is simply lip service to shut up some of the MPAAers who have been on Canada's back trying to use us as a scapegoat. I'm sorry I've never seen anyone with a camera in the theatre ever, I don't know why anyone would like a copy like that.. a 5$ crappy DVD on the streets of NYC or spend 4 more dollars and see the proper version of it in a theatre. If you really want to buy it wait 2 months after it comes out on DVD and buy it for 6-12$ at BestBuy.
I'm no doubt stating the obvious when it just seems that the "Industry" is crying wolf on a phantom problem.
But keep your eyes on Bev Oda... This MP will be a problem...
... That they are bitching about this over the past year or so given that Canada's dollar has gained nearly 30 cents on the greenback since 2002...
Now that they can't get AS cheap a deal when they make their films here they piss and moan about an alleged problem. To echo a poster on the Globe & Mail site, if I ever saw someone with a camera (and I never have) I would be more than happy to disturb their movie going experience.
Like I'm going to buy a 2$ copy of a movie. If I like the movie I'll buy it. If I don't, when you've already fleeced me out of 13$ so to hell with you.
To be fair to Infoworld, what I recall about that article basically was John hitting the machine with a stick repeatedly then flinging his poo at it. That's just unacceptable office behavior in my books.
Shame about Harry, maybe his brother Phil can get him a job at his caulking business.
Because users are generally too stupid to backup their own data. I don't feel like entering in 50 other reasons as it's nearly 4p and past my nap time.
Cute argument the whole managing by fear thing, I do hope you enjoy your job throughly.
I make the policies which they, and everyone abides by with full support of the senior management team.
They want a "smart" phone that has a 7 minute idle battery life and is pretty, let them. I'll be happy to forward their mail via a contact that's as close as they'll get to my systems.
Having 50 different holes in the firewall to support every quirky little smart phone isn't practical for any organization. We standardize on a platform for a reason ya know. KISS.
Blackberry is the standard at my company because it blows away everything performance wise and it's going to stay that way until there is a viable/practical alternative.

The NHL didn't. Fox did. And the players bitched to no end about the puck because of the receiver.
If you have trouble following a black puck on white ice you might want to get your eyes checked.

Wow.
Just. Wow.
Thank god the Leafs suck.
Now the NHL can add literally, tens of viewers to their US audience. Fuck you NBC.
And in a side note it's just a matter of time before the US is down to 16 NHL teams thankfully.
Effing Ducks. Go Sens.
10$ to get felt up? Still cheaper than the strippers... ...Wait... They use male security? That's not cool...

Do the time/play restrictions apply to my plain old MP3's or only DRM'd ones purchased through whatever online store?
I'll guess at the content maybe:
Jobs: Fuck You
Gates: No Fuck You!
Jobs: No Fuck You!!
Gates: No Fuck You!!!
etc...etc.. Before breaking down in to a high profile geek slapfest.
Wow... There's something you couldn't unsee...
How would producing 5 ton, 20ft SUV's help us?
... the sky is blue and bears defecate in the woods...
.... Looked up tetrahedron because they didn't remember their Grade 10 geometry? Anyone? Come on!
LOL... WHAT? I'm shocked at the filthy minds of the people here.. for shame...
... at his brother Phil's caulking company...
What?

Yea... How selfish of him doing the right thing trying to bring to light the potential endangerment of thousands of lives... Big trouble maker.
The world needs more people with spines like this kid, good for him.
