One of the major benefits of CSS is you can specify CSS files for differing display devices.
IE may be the master in the desktop browser market, but the more companies want to deliver their web applications to non-desktop platforms (cell phones, pda's etc) the more they will be coding using w3c standards.
MS can't fight innovation forever.

What makes a programmer a programmer is the same thing that makes an artist, an artist. Anything can be art. Anyone can be an artist.
Saying that scripts aren't applications is akin to saying that a twisted chunk of metal isn't art. It's only an opinion and there's no way to prove it either way....sure I'm stretching it a little, but there is certainly as much of a defined perception of what a proper "journalist" is as there is of what a proper programmer is.
It's depressing that journalism has been so diluted in the US that simply spouting your opinion is considered "journalistic".
I would submit that anyone who knows anything about our army would tell you that the quality of our troops and their training are among the best in the world.
Regular Canadian troops are on par individually with high level US ones. Even American commanders will tell you that.
Nevertheless, if the objective was to secure the bridge they were blockin
Once again you're slightly off. Oka was the main issue, and it had nothing to do with a bridge. Your "bridge" was the Mercier Bridge near montreal, which was blockaded by others as a show of support.
Finally, this isn't some fucking invasion of germany! The Mohawk were fucking fellow Canadian citizens (legality and treaty status aside)!
The army was called out in support of the public institution, the same way they were called out to help with flodds in Manitoba, or to perform Search and Rescue. Their mission was not to attack and destroy the Blockade. Their mission was to effect a solution with a minimum loss of life on both sides.
They accomplished their mission in textbook fashion. To suggest that the outcome could have been "better" with bloodshed speaks a great deal to your (lack of) character.
Um, no shit you have to live in Ontario permanently. As opposed to say, living in Quebec and renting an apartment in Ottawa for the weekend, then claiming both OHIP and Quebec Health Benefits? That form seems simple enough to me if you keep your idology in check. Permanent as in primary residence, not forever. There's a huge section of "returning to Ontario". Duh.
Canada does not prevent emigration, but, in many cases it makes it illegal.
In light of your misreading of the simple OHIP form, I think you need to elaborate on this statement.
For example, RRSP HBPs become repayable in full within 60 days of becoming non-resident, or subject to being included in income
You're correct, I would consider this "fair". You can't possibly suggest that it isn't because you feel overtaxed. Again, you fail to support your argument. RRSP have that second "R" in them for a reason. The gov't is trying to get you to save for retirement, not issuing a tax break. How you interpret the plan is not their fault.
there is no joint tax filing as there is in the U.S
I'm not familiar with US tax law, but if your spouse was a stay-at-home type, then he/she would pay no tax at all in Canada, and you could claim the spousal amount. If you put all your savings into both RRSP's and RESP's for your kids, you'd be paying some pretty low taxes I'm sure. If you were smarter and opened of a small business, you could write off your spouse as an employee if she did your books, then write off the car you leased, etc etc.
When you get down to it,US citizens pay less tax than Canadian however you look at it, so it's kind of silly to compare individual structures.
How many hundreds of thousands of dollars do I have to repay to make up for a CA$10k government scholarship I foolishly accepted in the 1980s
I have no idea what the heck you're on about here...Are you suggesting the only benefit you received from the gov't was a scholarship? Are you suggesting you shouldn't repay a student loan?
I'm not sure what you're talking about really.
If the government services were on a par with the taxes paid, it would not be so bad,
I suppose it's a matter of perspective... clearly, certain events in my family's history would have left us broke had we been without publicly provided health care. (Which in the US, a the son of a single mother of 3 we would have, certainly.)
As someone who made use of that helping hand and now sits quite confortably on the other side of the fence I have no problems contributing to our services. Did you factor in lower crime and higher quality of life into your "pragmatic" calculations?
Before you want to call me retarded, have the guts to put your name behind your words, otherwise shut-up.
Perl and ruby are very similar, if you know one you can easily pick up the other.
No, they're actually not similar at all, and if you were familiar with ruby you would have a bit of a clue regarding this. It's closer to smalltalk than Perl, really.
Slashdot Mirror
The CBC is known the world over for being rather responsible with their reporting.
Whether a broadcaster gets their funding from the gov't or a mega-corp has little to do with their conduct.
especially considering you need to miss-pronounce Nunavut (Noo - na - voot) to get it.
"Ill say, sigh, Ill -try-" Hence the cause of all your problems. If they aren't willing to commit, why do you accept the responsibility?
MS Project dosen't plan projects, PM's do.

Normally, you wouldn't be saying much... but all this coming from someone who grew up in LA?!?
Now, that's impressive.
The parent isn't a troll, it's an analogy.
It may be a poor one, but it's still relevant.
I suggest you go to walmart someday... as an educational field trip.
I know of one nearby in a posh neighbourhood. It's still manages to attract folk that wouldn't be out of place on a Jerry Springer episode.
Seriously... it's quite an experience.
Dummy, we have a first-past-the-post parlimentary system.
Quebec accounts for a full third of parliment, regardless of population. The descrepancy is right in the open...

Have you even considered that no matter who does the counting, it would be difficult to be elected without Quebec's seats?
And Quebec is french, and constantly on about their unique culture, and the second largest (pop wise) in canada...
Sometimes.. the simplest answer is the correct one.

Whatever stuff you and Ann Coulter are smoking... you should really share.
Your "points", where not incomplete are completly incorrect.
Read the application forms carefully: you have to agree to live in Ontario permanently.
Do you mean this form?
Um, no shit you have to live in Ontario permanently. As opposed to say, living in Quebec and renting an apartment in Ottawa for the weekend, then claiming both OHIP and Quebec Health Benefits? That form seems simple enough to me if you keep your idology in check. Permanent as in primary residence, not forever. There's a huge section of "returning to Ontario". Duh.

why do you move?
As much as you seem to think it's the equivilant to soviet russia, last time I checked I was still allowed to emigrate.
our government may discuss shit like this, but that's far different from actually enacting it.
chill.
I said grammar nazi, not spelling nazi. :-)
Secondly, the US Constitution has far more protections against the sort of things occuring in Canada than the Canadian constitution.
That's because we have other laws as well, like PEPIDA, which our justices, if not the Gov't respect.
apostrophes is plural, hence is does not contain one.
(I don't normally become a grammer nazi, but if you're going to point it out, you deserve it.)
further my education, and increase my marketability
There's an oxymoron if I've ever heard one.
What you need now that you have a degree is experience. That will increase you marketability, another degree will simply increase you debt.
Suck it up and ignore whatever they taught you in university about making the big bucks in the real world. Get yourself in the right jobs.
By "right" I don't mean ideal, I mean jobs that will facillitate you getting that "ideal" job.
OSX's Spotlight functionality... I think you can find a demo on their site.
I'm not defending WinFS, but the "search engine in OS" idea is pretty powerful if done right.
Go back under the bridge Dan, feeding time is over.

You could make the same comparision between perl and assembler if you wanted to.
Point being your point is not very strong.
