Seriously...grow up.
Feeling for the loss of your cat is normal... but I'm sure a visit to the local shelter would make you reconsider the fact that you now have the chance to make another cat avoid the same fate as Charlie.
Let's hope the daughter was actually dead, and not simply dating a black man/pregnant/or just simply avoiding her racist/shotgun wielding/asshole of a father. (If it even was her father)
You had no right to do what you did. If you were my employee I would have fired you. Bullshit poilcy or not.
Most people who attempt beginning web-based businesses don't want to learn html/xml/php/whatever, nor pay huge sums to those who know them: We want wysiwyg easy page/site editing that will function.
So you're saying that a stable peice of software should be edited to enable those that don't know what they're doing to do it better?
My friend, don't blame software for bad business choices.
The best navigation aid that very few folk actually know about is this:
If you are looking for a point target (ie, an intersection etc), do not try to take a bearing to it, but purposely off shoot either left or right. (on the map)
Then, once you get the right distance, you'll know from your offshoot which way to correct. (ie, if your offshoot was to the left, you know the target is too the right).
This is especially helpful if you're worried about wandering off of the bearing...
You do realize however that civilian GPS systems are purposely disabled in their accuracy. It doesn't make much of a difference to hikers and the like, but it's sometimes good to be aware of.
Personally, I can't pace for the life of me, (always lose count, even with beads) but I'm a pretty good navigator. I've found however that those that can accuratley pace can do the job a little faster!
Especially in a forest. Learn how to pace. Use prominent markers to walk to that aren't too far away and learn to orienteer, not just follow the compass. Learn to read those contour lines and translate them into meaningful features and you'll be ok. GPS should never be essential. If you would be hopelessly lost without it then you don't know how to property navigate.
I live in Vancouver, so you're terrain isn't exactly foriegn to me, but if you want hard, try navigating in the prarries, or even worse a featureless desert.
Hate to break it to you Toby, but usually, when we try to do a direct comparison between to dissimilar things, such as countries, the results are given on a per capita basis. It makes for a more acurate measurment.
So it's quite obvious that you have been neither a secretary or construction worker.
Both use math daily. It might not be algebra or calculus on the blackboard, but it's still math.
Granted, I make websites and do some Network admin for a living, as opposed to working for NASA or whatever. Seems to me though that I do a lot less work as some of them as well.
You can use a wireless mouse anywhere... on the plugged in pad.
Never mind that this is exactly how my wacom tablet works, (which is why I only use it for the pen) but doesn't it strike anyone that this completely defeats the purpose of being "wireless"?

or the boyfriend/father has kicked her head in and she's to afraid to use email anymore.

Such as?
The best you could think of is Traffic Warnings?
How about cars that could drive themselves?
It would give new meaning to the phrase "network packet collisions" at any rate.
The station could just advertise it's location, without discount and get 70% of those same customers, making more money in the process.

true enough!

Difficult, but it has been done.
The new york times is read by CEO's and decision makers around the world... LAN Parties are attended by geeks that can't get laid; hence the models.
Which one is a waste of money again?
..that you'll still need to pay for your phone line from Bell, Telus etc to recieve your DSL connection.
So, unless you have a cable modem, this isn't even a viable option.
What we need up here are worthy competitors in the DSL market.
Doom is in the works... by UNiversal studios
Didn't they just release a browser based on Mozilla the other week?
Didn't Slashdot cover it?
Something tells me this info is a little out of whack.
Who cares what their beliefs are? You have no problems buying oil... how much pain and suffering has that brought about?
So the moonies are a little out there. Big deal. They didn't kill 20,000 Iraqis.
Construction workers do not need geometry, calculus or algebra?
I certainly hope that the ones who built you house were the exception to the rule then, for your sake.

I think you learn that in Math class...
When you find out how meaningless a figure like GDP is, be sure to let us know.

Seriously now, only the gifted kids in other countries go to school? Really. Explain Canada then (7th).
Sorry, but considering this is one of my strengths, I always find companies scrambling for my services.
IT folk have never been know for their personalities, so if you've got one, you're in demand.

that the parent poster already knew that.
It was probably the sarcastic tone, but perhaps I've got esp.
