As a Canadian, i'm glad Apple finally delivered on their promise to make iTunes available in Canada.
And of course I couldn't be happier they stuck with the $0.99/song pricing, even in our currency.
However, my first search for music came up empty! In the USA store, 47 hits show up when I search for "Foo Fighters". However, switching to the Canada site results in "no hits". What the heck?
Is this our crazy "Canadian content" laws overruling sanity again? How many other artists are mysteriously missing?
What you say about CSS not being a panacea is correct. However, keep in mind that the "amount of hacks" required is not because CSS is a poorly specified standard. It is because "modern browsers" (and by that I mean "IE") do not properly support CSS and XHTML standards.
If one chooses to author websites only for CSS standards-compliant browsers, CSS is great, and it's possible to write very clean, and semantically correct code. It's the having to account for the poor standards support that the hacks are required at all.
Even so, writing a typical table-based layout is no less hack-laden than a similar CSS-based one, and certainly no easier to maintain or extend.
...but it might be like Borders announcing that every time you buy a book, you don't have to have a dump truck back up to your door and dump 2 tons of flyers all over your front lawn...
The damn things show up in the mailbox all the time! What the @#$%@ am I supposed to do with them? I know from/. that only bad H@xoRs try to break into closed source, so i've just been throwing the little suckers away. But can someone please make them stop??
Here is a direct download link for the software-- "World Wind".

I should hope not! Don't you realize that Norton Anti-virus doesn't run on Linux? How would they protect themselves from these destructive viruses without every machine devoting a few hours each day to scanning for and eliminating viruses?
This exact thing happened last month at work when I suggested instead of spending countless hours combating spyware that we could eliminate it by switching to Firefox. Our network manager later told me there was no way we could do that, because when he checked the boxes for the various anti-spyware and active-x protector software, it was only certified to run with IE...
Actually, Opera6 does let you choose between SDI and MDI (at least in the windoze version...), which is the main reason i'm giving it another try at the moment...
Slashdot Mirror
The idea was (if you read his "What Is This Thing" entry (http://jonaquino.blogspot.com/2005/06/yubnub-my-e ntry-for-rails-day-24-hour.html) that it would indeed be similar to FF's keyword feature, but be available from anywhere.
(It's right there under "2. Why did you make YubNub?")
So yes, it's slightly harder to use than a browser keyword, but it is more widely available.
The best deal going so far is the Depeche Mode - Remixes 81-04 album.
37 songs, over 4 hours of music = $9.99CAN!
They're on our side! They are fighting for the foo!
Like Freedom Fighters, only better!
Hmm... apparently there could be quite a lot less content.
Music Videos:
USA = 357
CANADA = 27
Great kids, we can buy all the Anne Murray and John Denver tracks we want for only $0.99! Break those piggy banks!

At first I read #33 as "John Conner", which on first reading, seemed about right.

I can't do that because I get an error saying that "Renaming, moving or deleting 'Messanger' could make some programs not work..."
