I think I worked with a guy who did a lot of that Zope/Plone work for the Brazilian Senate. FWIW, an Irish company called Propylon (www.propylon.com) does a lot of government projects using open source platforms and standards (a lot of ODFs) for both the Irish government and a few US state legislatures too.
You know, if more stuff like this happens, I could see a provincial (or even the federal) government start their own crown-company ISP. I mean, there is a large tradition in Canada of creating companies to serve the public instead of regulating private ones, just look at Hydro-Québec, Bell Canada (back in the day), the SAQ and the SAAQ, public health, Petro-Canada, etc.
I'm sorry, but your dog, as cute or as exceptional as you think it is, does not understand english or any other human language. It does pick up on your tone of voice. So when you say "do you want to go outside" and "youy're (sic) not going outside", it's just picking up on the two different tones you use.
Toby does not feel shame, guilt or any human emotion after going through the garbage. It is a dog. What he is showing you is submission in front of his pissed off owner. The signs of a submissive dog, not making eye contact, laying down, whining, can be confused with "shame" or "guilt", but your dog is not going to change his behaviour afterwards.
Take comfort that your cat is not lying to you. It does not have morals, ethics, or a sense of guilt (much like Toby). It cannot lie, because it cannot tell the truth and probably does not have the imagination to lie. However, your cat is probably very adept at picking up the fact that you treat it better when it "fakes" a limp.
Animals cannot reason or think as well as human beings, but they do pick up on tones, behaviours and attitudes well.
The French are adamantly opposed to allowing any "English" words to become used in French conversation and thus insist on creating 'proper' French words to avoid the inclusion of non-French words into daily use
For sure lolzors, like. B-Koz in the States, nobody insists that people speak 'proper' English and use 'proper' English words.
Actually, they have a constitutional right not to publish or host content, it's called the right of free press. Google, Amazon and any other companies owned by private individuals have the right to publish or not publish whatever they want and to force them to host or publish a message or a video would actually infringe on their (or more precisely their shareholder's) first amendment rights.
That's kind of like us invading a planet where Acid rains from the skies, the atmosphere is made of nerve gas, and everywhere we look theres giant pools of cyanide.
The lower level of un-employment in the United States compared to France is explained by the lower minimum wage and lower taxes. However, if there are less jobs per capita in France, those jobs are higher paying (at least in the lower levels of the pay scale) and come with more social advantages.
There are already three uber-popular, incompatible networks, not to mention the handful of smaller protocols. None of them really offer anything that the others don't have.
Tell me about it. Instant messaging services are almost as saturated as the web-mail market.
The original text could be in the public domain but the translation into english might be more recent, therefore copyrightable.
Also, like in the case of an english work like Milton's Paradise Lost, there could be other elements like an editor's note, an introduction to the text or just simply the formatting that might be copyrightable.
Yeah, because time in a unix system is stored as a number of seconds since January 1st 1970 in a 32-bit signed integer called c_time. In January 2038, the integer will overflow and the destruction of humanity will ensue.
Except, of course, if c_time gets bumped up to 64-bits, as it will probably be done now that 64-bit processors are going to become a lot more common.
Why don't you just make a site that works in all browsers?
If, for example, my site does not render correctly in your browser because of some wiz-bang feature I have, well, I'm not going to really care and I'm going to tell you to go download IE.
Just because it's on the Internet doesn't mean you have an unalienable right to see it.
It's not a matter of the ease of the installation of the Linux distribution or the fact that it's installed by the OEM, it's that the laptop hardware is probably specially chosen and configured for linux.
The problem with linux on laptops is that it is very difficult to find the right drivers for every peice of hardware like the graphic card, the sound card, etc. If HP designs a laptop from the ground up with linux in mind, they can make sure that the parts they choose come with good drivers, or at least froce the manufacturers to provide better drivers.
In times like these, where we, the public, have lost faith in our news institutions after RatherGate and Fox News, I'm thankfull that we can still trust respected and sensible journalism sites like http://www.ufos-aliens.co.uk/www.ufos-aliens.co.uk for our news and information.
Her article is pure economics 101. Replacing North-American workers with cheaper Asian workers will lower production costs, which (in a free, non-monopolistic market, of course) will lower the price of software, thereby increasing our relative wealth.
Sure, the programmer who go layed off might not immediately feel richer but a few years (and, more importantly, a few generations) down the line, the effects of lowered production costs will be felt. Anybody who disagrees is, quite literally, a Luddite.
Yeah, but most kids these days are interested in computers for one reason: games. And as long as all games will be released on the windows platform (including cracked versons of Windows XP), kids will keep on using windows.
Canada has had the draft twice: Once during WWI when the drafted soldiers were sent to the front lines, and once again during WWII where, as you said, the drafted soldiers had the option of either serving overseas or serving inside Canada.

Hey, don't knock contractors. They helped build the Deathstar, you know.

Yeah, for one thing, you need to have commited a crime.

If you think the Parent's Television Council raised hell and highwater with the FCC over Janet Jackson's nipple, you haven't seen anything yet!
We always get our results in a timely manner and, to my recollection, there have never been any problems with the vote counting.
