Canada is more in this boat than the one described earlier.
Alberta Oilsands (and many other oil projects), Potable Water, precious metals, etc. Seems like oil is popular these days and there are predictions that water will become more popular than oil in the future. Besides we need water to produce cold, crisp, canadian beer.
Well, for some definitions of the word "funny". Funny: See +1 Funny +1 Funny: A moderator's intent to see the moderated shamed, humiliated or otherwise injured by their own sarcastic illustrations.
We can drive the nukes across the country, we can throw them on a train, or we can fly them.
Hey, Sam-I-Am, You forgot:
put them in a box,
pack them with a fox.
keep them in a house,
keep them with a mouse.
store those nukes here or there.
store those nukes anywhere.
I do not like that Sam-I-Am.
Yay, Disneyland IN SPACE! Oh sure, I guess Space Mountain won't be a large attraction anymore. Instead "Earth Mountain" will try to replicate the effects of gravity.
Isn't seven blades on a propeller a bit overdone? I think three or four should be the most efficient. If the Gillette / Schick razor war has taught me anything - the more blades the better. Seven blades for comfort, 1 blade for those hard to reach fjords.
This brings up some interesting parallels to SCO. The major difference is that everyone knows RIAA doesn't own the copyrights to the material. So instead of fear-mongering on behalf of M$ and other organizations to freeze peoples choices to current O/S offerings - they are working on behalf of the recording industry to freeze people to current procurement avenues.
True, but if you saw the car there at say 5 PM one evening and then in the exact same spot at 7 AM the next day, and so on for a week running, you could be pretty certain something's been going on. Perhaps, but the tolerances would have to be small. If there are lines to park between, or objects (fire hydrants or whatever) then it would be hard to tell if they had moved and returned - or whatever. It is an interesting idea, but there would be a few things to work out. Having a charge hold up in court is another thing.
Octopus banana. You're too fire hydrant. Dear Sir
I appreciate your joke. I however am concerned with the fact that I now have coffee on my monitor. Please sent $3 and a paper towel to:
How is that really a problem? Just set your preferred network to your own SSID and be done with it (well, that's assuming you didn't leave your SSID named "Linksys" or "Default"). I have about 20 wireless access points visible to me, some open, but most not, and they don't get in the way at all. I wish it was that simple - I have 40 visibile, another 15 unpublished SSIDs (mine one of them) - all but 4 are secured. I have my own SSID, I have gone to the least populated range (x +/- 3) of channels and I have problems connecting and maintaining the network connection (from a couple meters away).
Or they could see that someone is parking cars on the street overnight in an area that aren't supposed to. Should I point out that the lack of light could be a flaw in your otherwise sound reasoning?
Perhaps the local government could send out automatic notices when they spot some homeowner's new addition which violates the zoning law, for example. My thoughts exactly, why not use this to determine violations of zoning laws? Searching for a pool can be much easier by the satellite than by driving around. Perhaps it can be used to study traffic flow issues; taking averages from multiple days, understanding the what effect blockages/lane closures have on entire cities, etc.. Would be an interesting proposition.
Nonsense. There are plenty of things humans are good at that computers are rubbish at. How about displaying four photographs with the question "which image contains a bottle?" I can't find the linky at the moment, but I remember reading about a photo application with object recognition such that it would tag your photo's automatically. Why couldn't something like that be used in this case? This avenue already seems dead.
Looks like everyone could use some proof reading. Or is this a quantum leap in tenses? No, but if you actually find this particle it gives you authority to ignore the laws of grammer - much like it seems to ignore the laws of physics.
Which bit of "Neither creator James Cameron or original star Arnold Schwarzenegger will be involved in the project" are you struggling with? I'm having problems with the "or"; what kind of or is it? As it sure looks like a "nor" to me.
If it wasn't a typo, does that mean one of the two will still be invovled? If not, I think we need to get "Or" invovled. WE WAN'T OR! Talented and creative OR!
So, who is pressuring the Fraunhofner(sp?) Institute not to do this? Did Germany's Communist Party gain seats last election? IIRC there has been a lot of pressure (political or legal) by those who could be implicated. I believe many of these records contain information on civilian informers who could now be Politicians and other influential people who wouldn't want this information to come out.
we should be so lucky. i'm expecting "Star Wars Episode 7: Jar Jar's Revenge" and "Star Wars Episode 8: Spawn of Jar Jar". And of course who could forget: "Star Wars Episode 9: Undiscovered Jar Jar"
What a great article. Maybe one day someone will write a relevant one about how and why GNOME and KDE compete, for example, and why. I'll be looking forward to that one. I look forward to that one as well. Any clue as to the text editor they plan on using?
True, but they do make for a most effective way of dispersing said coinage. Timmie's is everywhere, and everyone gets coffee there, and they'll pay for it with a toonie, and thus get quarters for change. IIRC Timmies had an exclusive initial distribution of the coins right around rememberence day a couple years back, likely for the logic stated above. A similar thing was done with the breast cancer coin - though I think that was a different distributor.
Our colourful paper money isn't enough, we need colourful coins as well. Take that greenback!
Nobody died. No planes crashed. No reactors melted down. You are safe on the planes crashing and on the meltdowns. I didn't hear of any such incidents.
However, I will argue that the outage may have contributed to deaths. There are many hospitals which use Blackberries instead of pagers (2-way comms), so paging a surgeon or doctor or other staff to an emergency may not work well. I am sure there are other examples of critical applications (which should or should not use blackberries) that may have been effected. The obvious thing is that I cannot provide stats, because they certainly aren't available - but saying that nobody died would be a gross overstatement.
On a lighter side, other casualties may have been caused from crackberry withdrawal: people walking into walls because they aren't used to walking without reading their blackberry, people jumping out of buildings because they cant get their latest stock quote, etc..

Quick, someone open up the OOXML document in an application with poor implementation.

Thanks for the clarification.
No, that's 12 tracks at RIAA's going rate of $150,000. Methinks that RIAA has a decimal place on the left side of their collective IQ.
My hovercraft is full of eels.
