  1. Re:Asking your opinion... on Canadian High Court Says ISPs Don't Owe Royalties · · Score: 1

    Montreal. Better looking, nicer city. Toronto's too 'big city'. And dirty and more humid in summer. Mind you, we haven't really had a summer yet.

    Although Toronto has better chances of jobs...which isn't saying much to begin with.

    Things are just starting to pickup in this slugish market. :(

  3. Re:I wish apple came out with displays... on Jobs Previews Displays, Tiger at WWDC · · Score: 1

    Can't these displays be rotated 90 degrees?
    I know there are LCDs that can be rotated, and I know that ATI supports this on their drivers.

    Is this possible with the apple displays? If so, then it's still quite nice for coding, just rotate, and then switch back to movie mode!

    Yeah, but this is even funnier, and sadder, further down the page:

    "I owe them a Visa payment, but this glitch hasn't affected their ability to collect the money that's owed to them," Maria Janchenko, 26, said in Toronto, adding that she had been contacted three times this week by a collection agency.

    If you're pissed off with RBC, I highly recommend going to PCFinancial!

    No limit on deposits, NO fees! It's great!
    And you get PC Points when you shop at Loblaws (supermarket)! And you get higher interests on your savings than with the other banks!
    Plus, you can use any and all CIBC ATMs with no charge!
    Check them out: http://www.pcfinancial.ca

    Wait, wait, wait. You say:

    "(Yes, this means there is a cure for ball-sweat)"

    And yet, you also say:

    " The stuff can really burn the first couple times you use it."

    Not to mention:

    "Other alternatives include iontophoresis (don't buy the unit, just build one yourself with some aligator clips, a resistor and a bunch of 9V batteries in series).

    Surgery is also an option for overactive sweat glands, but I'd say the risks outweigh the benefits in that instance."

    Something's not right in that reply!

    An honest question:

    IF people are as insulted and ashamed of Ashcroft doing the things he does, and people don't approve of it, then WHY hasn't he been removed? Why aren't people complaining?
