Temperatures below -30 C are only an issue if you run diesel (which begins to gel). Gasoline and propane continue to work great. I've never needed to plug my car in, ever, even in -40 weather. Obviously, you don't want to work the engine hard until it has warmed up, or you risk cracking things. But really, -40 is not a big deal.
I'm using Telus (in Grande Prairie), and I'll keep the same IP for months on end. The last dhcp lease I got is valid for 166405 seconds, or just over 46 hours.
I can't believe someone modded that "interesting". It's a joke, people! 65,535 is the highest value an 8 bit int can hold, and there is no reference to this number on the linked page. That, and WarmNoodles chose the wrong joke: it should be something about integer overflow, not blowing the stack;)
I keep all my userids and passwords in one basket -- my skull. Really, what's so hard about memorizing a few dozen passwords? Yes, it takes a bit of effort, but then I'm never held captive to some device where my passwords are stored. What ever happened to using our brains?
My ISP blocks port 25, too. For a while, they wouldn't even send email "from" domains not hosted by them -- but my webhosting company runs a secure smtp server on a different port -- so I use that, and get the benefit of having my outgoing connection to my webhost (which contains authentication info) encrypted. If your hosting company does not offer this, they are behind the times.

Mmm... the tingling sensatin of liquid behind expelled from one's nostrils... thanks! :D
Yep. Adding methyl alcohol to your tank (in small quantities) is a common thing to do up here, at least when engines sputter a bit in the cold ;)
Basically the same, but the additives are different. Personally I buy whatever. I'm loyal to no store.

I've seen that on my screen more times I can count. Finally someone recognizes me as the legitimate leader of the Earth!
On a related note, can anyone translate "aoeuaoeuaoeu"? It's got me stumped.
Anyone know what in tarnation this thing is and what we can do with it?
Play Frizbee?
I was still able to vote in it, but there are no comments showing at all. Interesting.

So if you use tee, does it double your free beer? Or do you just end up with a mess on the floor?
You continue to amaze me. Your outlook on life is definitely that of someone Great. I would love to get inside your brain sometime.
I actually had no clue what the joke was, so I found his post informative and enlightning.
I was, uhh, using quaternary bits ;)
Naw, it was a brain fart. Thanks for correcting me :)
I am also corrected. Oops! :)

True.
I'd take over the magazine, but I'd have no phreaking clue how. Any advice?
Whaddya say to making a googlebomb for slushdoot? I'm game :D

throw up a torrent?
Please warn me before you do this, so I may stand back a few meters!
Oh man... that was hilarious. I'll have to remember that!

Exactly. And you do have to respect a person's right to privacy. Rights are something I am working at dedicating my life to.
And one is too boney, the other excessively bloated.
Ah well, it doesn't realy matter. It would be neat to know, but I'm certainly not going to spend too much effort tracking KFG down ;)
One must wonder what the points from magic brownies are like.
And when Girl Guides browse the web, what do their cookies taste like?
