It's based on KHTML (the rendering engine for Konqueror), not gecko (mozilla rendering engine). It renders sites very similar because they are both mostly w3c standards compliant (more so than IE).
Unfortunately, the provincial governments don't all take that advice, and at least one has contracted out handling of medical and tax records to US companies.
WSF is a BIG event, with presenters from many countries, on many topics. It's not surprising if some presenter there (who may know nothing about open source) would have Windows on their laptop, especially if they're there to talk about seed diversity or labour rights in Nicaragua or some such.
It doesn't, but that's beyond the point of this troll. He's a constant link-spamming troll, and his link points to some anti-chinese (racist, not just policy) propaganda. He posts the same link on almost every international politics-related story, usually talking about weaponization of space, torture, falun-gong, or tibet.
That medical investigation one drives me up the wall because I've only had 1 semester of university level biology (12 years ago), and there are things I know are blatantly wrong.

They wander areound crime scenes wearing street clothes and rubber gloves, but never find their own hair, skin, etc.
Almost every episode, Sara comes in the room and says `I cross referenced all the employees at every pizza shop in the state with...'... That's interesting... how did she get a warrant for the employment records of every pizza shop? How did she get them so fast? How did she get them into the computer, or if they were computerized, normalize them so fast?
Where do they get their GIS data? I wish I had GIS data that complete and well-organized!
I just read your letter... It looks like they took my advice. The one I recieved was more like:
Dear Shaw Internet Customer
Please note: we ask that you provide confirmation by reply email (keeping the subject line intact) that you have received this email and will be acting upon the information contained below. If no reply is received we will cancel your service and contact the RCMP.
We have recieved complaints that hacking attempts against other computers have originated from your connection.
This is not the origional message. I do not have a copy of it here. Notice the lack of details about who complained, what ports were used, etc.
Yeah... have you ever heard of (offending IP address)?
would be
Yeah... have you ever heard of TCP?
Most of the modern (non-mail) worms spread through TCP services, and TCP is much harder to spoof than UDP as doing so would require control of 1 or more routers between the spoofed and the target.
One of my boxes was rooted in early 2001, and I discovered it, took it offline, and began investigating within about 15 minutes of it being rooted (I walked into the room and saw the cablemodem blinking when it shouldn't be).
It appeared to be the BIND-Lion worm. I was running RedHat with Cacheing DNS on that machine. Notice I said that I took the system offline within 15 minutes of the attack.
About 2 weeks later I got an email from shaw saying that I was hacking, and that I should cease immediately, or they would cut off my service and contact the RCMP.
I replied that I had already dealt with the problem two weeks ago, and that there message was useless because if I didn't already know what the problem was, I wouldn't have a clue what they were talking about.
I suggested that they change there message to more politely suggest that the recipient's computer was infected with a worm or virus and should be taken to a repair shop when the complaint fits the profile of a recent, well documented worm.
Or semi-legal fan subtitled anime series'. Try downloading a series that aired for 8 years and had 3-4 movies... 30GB easily. Do it via BT and you'll be uploading too.
Now think about it. Clearly "the brain" is completely insane. Pinky always manages to thwart his schemes, but never lets on that he's doing so. Pinky is the genius.

DSL modems are cheap; DSLAMs (the other end) are NOT.
I haven't noticed, and I only have 256MB. The only time I have problems is when I'm handling very large images (~85MB tiffs).

Still no SVG?!?!
Firefox is a browser. Mozilla is a Browser, Email reader, usenet reader, page composer, IRC client, and a few other things.

Well, Windows XP Professional costs about $300-500 per seat with no support.

A few more things that bother me about it though:
Not returning found items is a criminal offence now? Can someone point to this Act?
disbarment (ie he can't go back to being a lawyer either).
- Cop buys fire starter for his barbecue
- Cop barbecues hamburgers
- Cop has leftover firestarter, and puts it away
- (small) Kid finds firestarter and matches and plays with them in a closet or the carport, etc
- Fire gets out of hand, and kid is afraid of being caught, so runs away
- Wife finds fire...
Except for the being a cop part, this happened to my Dad's basement suite tennant and the fire burned down my dad's house.One of my boxes was rooted in early 2001, and I discovered it, took it offline, and began investigating within about 15 minutes of it being rooted (I walked into the room and saw the cablemodem blinking when it shouldn't be).

My boss frequently skypes me.
The doors to our offices are 15 feet apart (small company). It would be easier to just walk.

For shaw cable, the cap is somewhere around 25GB/month.
