*most* email clients can interface with exchange servers through POP3/IMAP.
My old place of employment used Exchange, and I saved every email in Thunderbird for years.
If they have stopped all 3rd party POP3/IMAP access, don't allow you to export PST files, and Entourage on a Mac (w/Exchange support), all don't work, I can't think of anything you can do.
Except, maybe just maybe finding the original PST file that outlook creates and you copy that to a flash-drive or something. If that file is not encrypted, you possibly have found your way to retain a copy of your companies emails.
Knoppix *might* let you copy that file if your system privileges don't allow that file to be copied.
My ultra-fancy DGL-4300 "gaming" d-link router doesn't have that problem (that I can tell). If it wasn't for a power outage, it would be going on 8 months uptime now.
I also had a cheap vanilla 802.11g d-link box which was unreliable crap that I was able to give to a friend. (Yes I did tell him it was unreliable at times).
Credit Union, the most inconvenient form of banking beyond hiding something under your mattress. A throwback to 60's banking before ATMs were first rolled out in the 70's.
Fortunately, credit unions that don't suck have hookups to the ATM networks in whatever country you live in, either through PLUS or a Visa/Mastercard debit card of some type.
You're confusing two issues: An ATM Withdrawal and a Purchase.
Any Debit Card with a Visa or MC logo carries fraud protection. They both require that funds be put back into your account within 5 business days, and many banks do it same-day, mine included. This includes provisions for overdrafts that happened because of the fraudulent deduction.
That is under the assumption that your debit card is a "visa debit" or a "Mastercard Debit" card.
In Canada, there is an entirely separate network (Interac) that is run basically by the big-5 banks, entirely unrelated to Visa/Mastercard (except that all the ATM's take PLUS and Maestro, but that's unrelated). Therefore, none of the Visa/Mastercard "Zero-Liability" policies apply.
However, the banks are generally fairly good. I've known people who have received calls from their bank saying "you used your debit card at an area that has reported fraud, please change your pin and double-check your account transaction history at one of our branded ATMs ASAP"
While limiting bandwidth might help, VOIP applications are much more sensitive to ping than BitTorrent, so even if you save bandwidth just for the vonage box, you will still need to customize packet priority. My D-Link gaming router has some ability to do it, but if you want real QoS stuff, a linux firewall box is the way to go.
mainstream media, like 99% of sane adults, care about the economy, taxes, the war in Iraq, health care and pensions.
Probably 99% of Canadians don't care a whole lot about the war in Iraq.
Oh Canadians care about the war in Iraq, only so much as they are wondering why it's taking so long for the US to pull out (and the association with Afghanistan, which is becoming more and more unpopular).
Those aren't "crossovers", those were station wagons aka "estate" cars in the UK.
Horrendously over-powered engines aside, actual consumer wagons might make a comback (ie: Focus, Jetta, Passat wagons, or hatchbacks like the Matrix/Vibe etc.) Ford discontinued the Focus wagon last year, so you can't buy that. I suppose it was a good idea at the time.
Time will tell. They may just offer that balance of economy and space that people want.

Canada is basically identical to Australia in terms of laws (British Common Law Countries), and most of the laws are federal ones that deal with all the major issues (the criminal and civil codes are all federal, except Quebec).
Minor varriations in realestate rules exist, but those are both provincial and municipal level things, so just any lawyer wouldn't do. The federal government has education programs and resources online as well, however those would mostly be of help from someone not from a Common Law country.
@OP: There is no Work Choices legislation in Canada. Oh, and learn the slang. No-one calls it a 'ute' here, it's a pickup.
There's also the old-standby from the mid 90's Bill Nye the Science Guy. 100 30-min long "documentaries" on various topics. You can probably find VHS tapes of it at your local library, or maybe purchase them through Buena Vista Distribution (I believe that was the distributor of the show). Your local public school district might use them in the classroom as well, it was quite popular for that. The show is as far as I know, no longer in re-runs.
If you want a family gathering in front of the computer instead of the TV, you can probably find an entire collection of the whole series if you look hard enough at torrent aggregate sites. Usual legal warnings apply about downloading copyrighted material, if you don't know the law in your area talk to a laywer, IANAL.
I think the professor in question is alleging that he was responsible for others cheating because he supported "posting answers on facebook" because of the group name, and the fact that full answers were not removed when they were posted.
Unfortunately, Ryerson's student academic misconduct policies aren't specific enough for "posting answers on facebook" just general academic misconduct (plagiarism). I think the professor is over-reacting, but with good reason (people would HAVE plagiarized from it by simply copying the answers and handing them in), yet it won't help you on a test if you simply copying homework answers.
Typically in my classes it's stated that the distributor and the user of copied homework/assignments are both given zeros and a record made on their transcript. In this case, in lieu of giving the entire class a zero on the homework (or everyone who joined the group) it seems the proff is punishing the "ringleader", instead of everyone (because that would be basically the entire class, and you can't really charge 150 people with plagiarism. Perhaps that's his thought at least.
It's so many because that's the number of people in the Facebook group.
SPecifically he is charged with academic misconduct (which is able to be punished by expulsion), because the group advertised not just "help" (like hints) but "post answers", and because people presumably handed in those answers it's plagerism (the questions that had answers given were requrired to be handed in and worth 10% of their mark). It's one of those really fine lines that was probably crossed, but it may not have been by him, perhaps just the people who joined the group. In that case they "should" have charged _EVERY_ student in the group with misconduct, clearly this isn't happening.
However, the administration is hampered by the rules which say that they MUST hold an appeals hearing if a professor alledges academic misconduct (it is the professor who reports plagerism, and the professor who submits a recommendation on action to be taken by the administration, in this case, the proff wants him to be expelled)
And less than 2b is relatively cheap (so far) to develop a "clean" coal power plant by just taking the fumes and hiding it in a big hole somewhere. Sure it's a really bad solution, but until alternative energy sources can be made more practical and affordable than coal (because the US has lots of cheap coal), might as well retrofit old power plants until "real" renewable sources affordable, and able to be mass produced and provide constant reliable power.
You blithering idiots! If given a choice between sucking on a black cloud of death, or not, I would choose not. I'm sure that Congress is wasting that much grandstanding with the major league baseball steroid inquiry that is before them, AGAIN.
What is a university doing teaching C starting in the 3rd year? That's absurd. Java is great as a learning language for stuff like if statements, looping, file input/output, recursion, etc. in a "safe" environment. Meaning, you don't shoot yourself in the foot every 30 seconds with segmentation faults because you are making newbie mistakes.
As for makefiles, the best way I have found to describe it is as a specially formatted shell script that compiles (your) program. Using the makefile, it will only compile files that have not been compiled yet, or have changed based on the last time the compiler was run. The first time any programming is done, it should be done in Notepad (or equivalent) with a command-line compiler. Auto-compilation to tell you what you are doing wrong is for people who know what they are doing in the first place, not to help you learn.
My university starts teaching C in the 1st year.
1st semester: Intro to Programming (Java) 2nd Semester: Intro to Programming 2 (Java) 2nd Semester: Intro to C/Unix (C and Unix shell programming obviously) 3rd Semester: Data Structures (in C, you fail this course if you don't know pointers) 4th Semester: Computer Organization 2 (Assembly) 4th Semester: Software Engineering (in any OO language you want, the textbook uses Java for it's examples)
My thought is that if you understand C (or C++ even, they are similar), you can learn just about any other language.

Four, not five.
I'm sorry already! It's not like I actually do python programming.
The Python "standard" is one tab = five spaces, tabs are inserted as spaces.
Any development environment worth its salt will let you insert tabs as spaces.
That and find/replace all works quite well too.
I listen to the radio, and I haven't heard them (new rock/alternative/indie).
Of course, I'm not in the US so I'm not corrupted by ClearChannel Communications choosing what will be the next popular song.
eg: reliant k. Debut album stared at #15 on the billboard top 200. I heard that song maybe ... 4 times on the radio? Total flop.
If you go platinum and no-one has heard of you, until now.

Oh Canadians care about the war in Iraq, only so much as they are wondering why it's taking so long for the US to pull out (and the association with Afghanistan, which is becoming more and more unpopular).Yes, it does.

Don't forget EA's stor.... oh wait, forget that.
In all seriousness, there is Gametap and TotalGaming.net as Steam alternatives. TotalGaming (the stardock thing) has no DRM too, which is quite nice.
[yes, I know with Gametap you only rent games, but it is an alternative]
Wired said the playtime on the PA game was about 5 hours or so. I finished the Portal story in about 6, so for me, it's all equal.
Portal does have all the challenge levels too, you can easily double your playtime trying to beat those, excluding those 3rd party maps Bethesda made.
You can get a mickey for less than $20 and have about $7 left over. Which is enough for ... geometry wars?

There is no one solution that is capable of completely supplanting coal.
Yes there is, and it's been done. I point to France and it's nuclear power. The swiss use 0% coal too by using a mix of hydro and nuclear.
Geothermal (in places where it would work, like Australia) also could replace 100% all coal fired power plants.
Wireless Nomad (DSL) has unlimited (real unlimited) bandwidth, and they give you a router pre-configured for free public wi-fi internet access.

Of course not, it is in fact an invisible gas.
