I live in Regina. I've also lived in Meadow Lake for 12 years. Born here, lived here all my life. Saskatchewan is awful. Once I have my degree, I'm leaving Canada and either going for a PhD or working. Just get me the hell out of here!
It's not great in Canada. I live in Regina. You want broadband in Saskatchewan? You better live in Saskatoon or Regina, or the suburbs / immediate towns of the two cities. You don't? Tough shit. My friend lives 10 minutes of of town. All he can get is 28.8 (our phones lines can't support 56k). I imagine it's the same across Canada - you better live in, or close to a major city, or you're SOL.
BTW, do you think that broadband is widely available in the Yukon, NWT, or Nunavat? I really, really doubt it. It's pretty easy to sing the praises when most of the population lives in the extreme south, by or in a city, usually in Ontario or PQ.

Lawyer: So Mr. Admin, you say that an intruder gain access to your NAT admin, redirected ports such that he had access to your server's SSH service, spoofed packets to get around your packet filter rules, used a buffer overflow to gain root access, then installed a peer to peer service to download all of that g0at pr0n we found on your server? Or did this "intruder" use a pneumatic drill to weaken the steel walls around your server room, and a high power laser to cut through the doors, then break the lock on your server, remove the HD, take it home, crack the encrypted partition, put g0at pr0n on it, return the HD, and repair all damage done?
Admin: Uh, yes?
Lawyer: You sir are a liar, an incompetent admin completely guilty of all charges, and an insensitive clod towards the sexual exploitation of goats!

Next time, just run an unpatched Windows box, so you have an excuse for your g0at pr0n.:(

Bullshit. This isn't a city park. The pub has an owner who owns the bar. It's private property. Perhaps in some crack pot communist third world country with a nutcase despot, it may be true. (Cue Soviet jokes). Ah, what the hell:
In Soviet Russia comrade, the pub owns YOU!
That's like saying my house isn't private property because I don't have a "members only" sign outside the door. If someone just waltzes in without my permission, that's trespassing.
How about I dictate what you can and can't do in your house. Despite that it's your private property which you own, I'll play the dictator and say you cannot smoke, drink, or view porn in your house. Maybe I'll just waltz in and help myself to your fridge. Hey, if it's public property and I'm a member of the public, why not? Sounds really fair, doesn't it?
Let the pub owner decides what he wants - if you don't like it, simply go elsewhere! No one has a gun to your head, exercise free choice.
My neighbour owns the sports bar here, and our government (Saskatchewan) banned smoking in bars. That, plus the lack of NHL this year, guess how he's doing? Worst year ever, but hey, our great socialist leader is doing the right thing, dictating his morals and shoving them down our throats:(.
...and musician, please get thee to a true real-life human teacher. There are so many asshat guitarists who don't jack, yet think they are top shit because they are "self taught".
Me: "Hey, can you play that Asus7 again, I think I got something here."
Guitarist: "Dude, I just sounded like Ozzie! OMFG I AM TEH R0X0RZ D00D1!!!"

A nice, simple, and (if they dig hardcore math) easy circuit with a blinking light is an series RC circuit, with a light (also in series). Basically, it will flash on and off, at a rate dependant on the time constant of the circuit (=R*C). No need for soldering, and who doesn't like flashing things?

I'd take the paperclip. I live in Regina - time slows down in Saskatchewan.

"Schmerz" is German for pain. However, "Es tut weh" means "it hurts", or literally, "it does hurt".
Not to add a plug, but FreebSD 5.3 works flawlessly on my laptop. ACPI works awesome - when I run Fluxbox, my fan is rarely on.
The viruses are all open source so we can fix them up to do some real damage. :p

Same propaganda bullshit happens here too. I live in Regina.
Since I own the words "a" and "the", you all owe me an asanine amount of money. Woohoo, now I don't have to write my finals! :-)
Everyone wants a salary raise!
Ontario is a very socialist province - very, very anti-conservative.
