No, it's because we have a distinct culture. The fact that we speak french and the rest of Canada speaks english made exchange difficult and culture evolved differently. Combine it with the kind of bad national pride that you have in the US and this explain why people wants to separate. Oh and the fear that we are going to be assimilated the english culture if we don't.
In a nutshell, that's why. And remember that most of Quebec don't want to separate.
Beside, we speak better french than the french and have not replaced a lot of the original french word with english ones like the french.
Our stupid contest rule is that you have to perform a task to win. So contest in Quebec are the regular paper that you have to fill but with an easy mathematical question at the end so you had performed a task. Yes, answering 2 + 2 counts as a task.
Since you must write an extension for that contest, it should be okay.
It's as open source as Red Hat. You are free to reuse the code but not the trademark. If you modify it, rename it.
Beside, this non-democracy is exactly how it should be. People having a clue about law get together to write a legal bullet proof license. They will take comments from the community to improve it but there won't be any vote.
It's the same way open source projects works. Do you think Linux is a democracy ?
What keeps developers (and license writers) honest is that if they go too far, someone can fork.
Whishful thinking indeed. Blizzard might even win considering how current law is worded but if they did so, they'd bring the law to a complete logicial absurdity that even the judge would understand and it might get the law changed which means that Blizzard would not be as free in the future to spy on you.
In the article, it mentions that Honda is charging the family money for the car so that he will be a more critical tester. If I were paying that much per month, I'd be pretty picky, too.
It's true that it's expensive, given that they probably have duty they have to perform for them (report regularly, have to drive that much, can't do that, etc.).
I hope that at least, they get fixes for free. A beta car is almost sure to have problems, no ?
Well then, this is a good thing. Maybe SCO should realize that their kernel shouldn't contain an endless while(true) loop-- that explains many problems.
But not in Linux ! It does infinite loops in five seconds.
The problem is that they seem not to want us to read their papers online. Or at least discourage us. Registration ? That's just anonying, let me check if I can find the same information somewhere else. Must pay to look the archives ? What the fuck ?! Bookmarking pages is the modern equivalent to cutting an article you want to keep in your newspaper.
Why don't they make their content easilly accessible with non-obstrusive text-ads ? The money already usually just comes from advertisement anyway (the fee to buy the newspaper in the first place just pay it's production cost).
Dummy, a real "Satanist' would by definition need to believe in "God".
Remember that "Satan" would have needed to be "Intelligently Designed" by "God".
Dummy.
According to Christians. According to Satanists, it's another story.
Satan is very old and nobody can therefore have control on it and refuse others the right to use it but most Satanists are Laveyan which mean they follow the guy who founded the Church of Satan. They don't see Satan as a supernatural being but as a symbol. And not even an evil symbol.
Now I'll be able to walk right through Customs without stopping.
I almost can.
When I walk through customs, they ask me where I am from and why I want to cross. Once they asked me if I had an ID. I said yes and before I could make any more to get it, they said I could pass.
I should add that I am a canadian white man and that it's when I walk or drive through customs, by plane it's a different matter.
I have an Athlon64 3200+ and 1 GB of RAM. It was very sluggish and the performance constantly dropped until it became completely unresponsive after 5 minutes and shut itself down.
Correct. The Internet is, fundamentally, an invention of the United States.
Funny how you conveniently forget that the web is not an invention of the United States. Without it, nobody would have been interested in your Internet in the first place.
If Roche doesn't want to play fair, nationalize them. Its been done with other industries. Or expropriate their patent under eminent domain.
That would be nice. The government is really good at doing research. Unfortunately, they are very bad at producing stuff. But it doesn't matter in this case. They could do just the research, companies would take care of the production.
The companies who can produce it for cheaper wins. Or they might all specialize in certain fields. The government certifies that what is produced is really what they designed in the first place. The government can pay itself back with a tax on drugs sold. It might still be efficient since nobody is duplicating research made by others that they can't see and no area is blocked by patents.
The governement research results could be made available to you if you sign a contract forcing you to share back your own research in that domain. So if other countries want to use your drugs as a basis for their own variation of the illness, you get their improvements.
No except that they made cleanup of the DB after Warty so your name might have been dropped (most are ok) so they suggested you check if you were still there.
After Hoary, they changed the system and if I am not mistaken, dropped all names. So you have to order again.
Your username / password survived all this fine.
So basically, you are better to check the website after you get a bunch of CD to see if you are still registered for the next.
Checking once every 6 months for free professionally pressed CDs is very cheap though.
The same thing happened to me this week but with a kernel panic / core dump. I knew the existance of that screensaver and would have laughed if it was a BSOD but the kernel panic was a different story.
The value of the SCO platform can hardly increase to a point where it is a good idea to buy it. MySQL or not, they are dying. The only people that can benefit from the deal (beside MySQL making a buck on it) are SCO's actual customers who might need MySQL. Once SCO dies, they will have to migrate. Probably to Linux. Guess what they'll use there ?
So they got a contract and potential new users.

That's stupid. If they want to build your social network, they'll just check who you e-mail often and who e-mail you often. Much easier and much more accurate.

What about doing it with a rootkit database like we do for viruses ?
I meant a Windows rootkit detector / remover on LiveCD. It doesn't really matters on what OS the live CD runs.
Which brings us to the solution : LiveCDs
We already have tools to remove Linux rootkits, is there any for Windows ? And if there is none, why not ?

Known as Abiword you mean. They support OpenOffice 1.x format right now, in 2007 they will most certainly support ODF too.
It's trick and threat.

Yes, as long as you don't value what's in your home directory.
It the typical problem of people who think they invented everything.

I just donated 100 invites to this website today : http://www.invitationgmail.info/
I wonder how they are going to track all my big network of friend. Especially since they refresh my 100 invites daily.
I don't care. I'm Canadian :-P
