Not necessary as we're already doing that due to increased standards of living, greatly reduced infant mortality, and general ideas of society (more women putting off or completely forgoing childbearing in favor of careers, etc.). Birth rates in the developed (North America, Western Europe, some of east Asia) world have been dropping since the 50s and have been below replacement rate since the 60s. If it wasn't for immigration, population in North America and western Europe would be dropping. A few places, such as Germany and Japan, are already experiencing negative population growth.
Current estimates by the UN ESA (a href="http://www.un.org/esa/population/publications/longrange2/WorldPop2300final.pdf">)link PDF warning) show the world population will level off at roughly 9 billion in about 40 years and, barring any major changes such as another world war or us figuring out clinical immortality, stay there within a range of a few hundred million. I don't entirely buy their estimate on extreme long term, but it's probably accurate for this century.
The most effective thing we can do presently is work to improve standards of living in the developing world and help them skip past industrialization as much as possible and enter a high tech economy. Conveniently, this also has the side effect of helping with global warming (or helps with global warming with the side effect of managing population growth, depending on where your goals lie.)
The Queen (and Governor general and Lieutenant governors) aren't really supposed to do much. They're strictly for head of state ceremonial stuff (greeting foreign dignitaries, etc.), whereas the Prime Minister actually does stuff in government, unlike the US where the president has to do both. I personally think it's more effective to divide the role like we do.
As for curling, I'm eagerly awaiting the world championships since Saskatchewan won the tournament of hearts (The skip's hometown isn't far from me). Also waiting to see if we'll win the brier next week.
No idea on the savage brothers. I've never much been interested in most TV.
She's not the queen of a different country, she's the queen of Canada. She just also happens to be the same person as the queen of the UK (and Australia, etc.). It's an important distinction.
We prefer to put people on our bills, which currently feature Sir Wilfrid Laurier (7th Prime Minister, on the $5), Sir John A. Macdonald (First PM, on the $10), Queen Elizabeth II (on the $20), William Lyon Mackenzie King (10th PM, on the $50), and Sir Robert Borden (8th PM, on the $100).
Also, in regards to the toonie, at least calling it a doubloon didn't catch on.
Unless it's a really big lava lamp, the bulbs it uses would be exempt. Anything uses less than 40W, more than 150W, or doesn't use a standard screw fitting is exempt from this.
I'm not having any problem with the score not appearing, but i am getting the silly amounts of whitespace. Also using firefox 3.6.13, only on windows 7.
1. Repair is fine. Installation or modification will require a permit and a licensed gas contractor.
2. You'll need a permit and a breaker box installation/replacement or anything dealing with more than 300V or 200A will require a licensed electrical contractor, but otherwise fine.
3. You'll need a permit and you'll need to pass code inspection, but you can do this all yourself.
a modded PS3 will not blow up the neighbourhood, cause a local power outage or screw with the water/sewer system.
A landline may not help with this sort of situation. The problem was with the trunk lines (they have separate sets of trunk lines for landlines, wireless, and VOIP) to the 911 answering centre going down for several hours and Verizon not knowing it (until the employees at the centre figured something was wrong and alerted Verizon). There doesn't appear to be any reason same problem couldn't happen to the trunk lines for landlines.
This is only tangentially related to wireless, as it has nothing to do with the actual cell network. The problem was the trunk lines (which handle ALL wireless traffic, from every carrier, not just Verizon wireless) which handled wireless traffic (they have separate sets of trunks for wireless and landline) to the Montgomery County Public Safety Answering Point (The centre that handles all 911 calls for that area) all went down in some kind of cascade failure (One went down at 5:15pm, then by 8:45pm, all 14 were down) and Verizon was unaware of the outage until employees at the centre there clued in and alerted Verizon at 11:00pm, then they got them working again by 11:15pm.
This same problem could have just as easily knocked over the trunk lines handling landline calls.
The problem is that doesn't work due to wear leveling. The virtual area you're overwriting isn't necessarily the same physical area that holds the data you want gone. Even wiping the entire thing doesn't do it, thanks to spare blocks.
Classified documents become declassified once they're in the wild.>
By common sense, yes, by law, no. The executive order handling classified information (currently #13526) explicitly states "Classified information shall not be declassified automatically as a result of any unauthorized disclosure of identical or similar information." in part 1, section 1.1c.
I was recently doing something similar for a month. I used a multifunction photocopier with an automatic feeder to scan a ton of hardcopy mechanical documentation (dozens of 3" binders full of generator manuals and similar) into nice neat PDFs. We didn't bother with OCR though.
It's also legally the merchant's responsibility to withhold the proper tax if they have a physical presence in the state, which Amazon does, but they're arguing it's isn't really theirs, but Texas doesn't buy that so they're removing that presence.
They know a quantity of bitcoins were transferred from one address to another address, addresses which are not inherently linked to anyone in the real world as you can generate new addresses on a whim. It's like shuffling money between numbered Swiss bank accounts, only more so.
The smallest unit of value people will want to exchange is not one 21 millionth of all the units of value in the world. It will be significantly smaller than that. As the total size of the economy expands, the total value people will want to exchange as a fraction of the size of the economy will become smaller and smaller.
You aren't restricted to trading in an integer quantity of bitcoins. You can trade in increments down to 1/100000000 of a bitcoin.
I doubt APNIC will be the first, as they got three/8s (two requested and one of the final five) out of the final issuance from IANA. Barring a change in their issuing policy, ARIN is going to be the first to run out, followed by APNIC, then RIPE. LACNIC and AfriNIC are probably good for at least a year.

Chrome does all that just fine. Google is serious about wanting their browser on the business desktop.

You can blank an Intel drive quite easily. They support the ATA secure erase instruction and their SSD toolbox provides a simple way to issue it.
Only problem is it only works on a whole-drive level, not individual files.

It's "loonie", not loon.

No citation needed. Just do a little math. 70GB/30 days=230kbps average, which is a fairly reasonable bitrate.
Where are you getting pirated software out of this? They're referring to non-Google markets, like Amazon's Appstore, Archos' Appslib, and others.
Unfortunately, US trademark law does allow this absurdity.

What exactly do you have against jaws?
How damn big is your lava lamp that it uses a screw bulb larger than 40W?

This has everything to do with Verizon.

You can get all the info here (1.1MB PDF warning)
That's what's amusing. That they actually realize that their own security is inadequate to the task of storing that information securely.
The problem is that doesn't work due to wear leveling. The virtual area you're overwriting isn't necessarily the same physical area that holds the data you want gone. Even wiping the entire thing doesn't do it, thanks to spare blocks.
Presumably dump the contents of each individual chip.

Problem with that is the micro and mini builds do not support IPv6, so anyone with only 2 or 4MB of flash is SOL. And that's a lot of linksys devices.
