  2. Re:Arrogant Ignorance? on Why Does the US Cling To Imperial Measurements? · · Score: 1

    5,280 feet and 1,760 yards in a mile. Why those two measurements stick with me ('cuz I'm a Canadian of a certain age?) I don't know. Then again, I think of peoples height in feet + inches. When ever I hear, "She's xxx cm tall." my brain freezes . . .

  3. Yes, but what about Canadian Deerflies? on Directed Energy Weapon Downs Mosquitos · · Score: 1

    This would make another 40% of Canada inhabitable.

  14. Re:For non-USA citizens on Visitors To US Now Required To Register Online · · Score: 1

    "2. The US government regards everybody except Canadians" Sure. Maybe all the John Smiths and Sally Jones but many of my buddies would be instantly given the bum check because they are, umm, not white? Much like some chap born in NH named Jose would be looked at coming through Fort Erie. If you're dark or speak funny you're suspect. Welcome to North America.

    I prefer the "velcro" theory.

  20. Never used my firewire on Users Rage Over Missing FireWire On New MacBooks · · Score: 1

    I use a Fujitsu lifebook (circa 2003) and it has a firewire port. Looks like I'm NOW in the market for peripherals seeing as the price for them will (hopefully) drop. Thanks Steve!
