It is like the baseball caps that get made by both teams in the World Series. Both sets say "world champs" but one set is a lie as one team will lose. Wait, that is a sports analogy and will make no sense to slashdot readers.
just take notes on a phone such as a BlackBerry. If you are connected to a BES, the notes will wireless sync in real time with the notes in your Outlook.
Exactly! Why would any country base its laws on sports analogies? It is completely idiotic. next we will have "2 yellow cards and you're out" or "a touchdown and you're out" - well at least a touchdown would give you 6 chances instead of 3 - and i don't even want to get into the cricket analogies as it is completely baffling to me.
the Curve is a toy for teenagers. get the 8830 world phone. It is a lot more solid and ruggedly built and once you get use to the trackball it is a easy to use as the legendary scroll wheel. i do agree that the 7 series BB's are the probably the best combination of rugged, easy to use, "just works" phones that i have ever seen.
The best example yet of this occurred here in Canada. A teenage girl was driving her parents' minivan and got into an accident while texting her boyfriend.....and here is the kicker....HE WAS IN THE BACK SEAT!
The biggest scam artist I've seen is the Domain Registry of America - they send out snail mail letters with impressive looking American flag logos on them with a bogus invoice-looking form to renew domains, but it's really the Internet version of slamming the domain and switching registrars. DROA needs to be shut down. they seem to have a Canadian branch called DROC - Domain Registry of Canada - that pulls the same scam. i have seen clients receive these fake bills as far back as 2001.
Cheap fuel allows us to get cheap goods from other places (like China).
IF you had to get all of your goods from local factories/farms, you'd pay much more for the goods themselves, and have a far smaller selection, driving the price up even more due to lack of competition.
The inability of local retailers to provide the same goods as the "megacorps" killed them.
to continue, local retailers means that you have to pay more for your goods which means that your standard of living will drop as the prices rise and you are not able to afford as much as you once did. this is so wrong on so many levels i don't even know where to start.
Before the "Chinese invasion", we had an excellent selection of goods produced on our own continent.
the inability of local producers/retailers to work for a dollar a week, produce low quality shit, use prison labour, ignore environmental standards and labour laws, etc is what led them to be killed by the "megacorp' Chinese imports.
To continue, local retailers/producers means that you buy from your neighbour, who in turn can then buy from you, thus elevating both of your standards of living and creating meaningful employment (and i don't consider the "services" economy that is currently folding like a cheap deck chair, to be meaningful employment)in North America.
Secondly, why is the private sector "efficient"?
Because it allows you to utilise the ideas, labour and capital of the entire population and not just the part supposed to be involved with government. Just because you utilise those 3 things does not make the private sector inherently more efficient.
ah yes. those were the days. i remember downloading my first video via netscape and viewing it in the tiny 2 inch by 2 inch realvideo (or whatever it was called back then) window...i believe it was called "horsegag" and involved a blonde lady and a large white horse. some sort of educational video about interspecies "cooperation".
i don't think quick in-car charging is the answer based on current technology. a universal battery that can be swapped out in minutes at a charging station (currently known as a gas station) will probably be the answer. however, overnight in-car charging will also be part of the solution.
i believe MS will make a version of XP than can run on this laptop, then say it costs X number of dollars. Since most people that will be using this laptop will not be able to afford XP at any price above 0, MS will turn a blind eye towards full scale piracy of this version of XP to spread its use. Get'em hooked for free, just like a crack dealer, then try and charge'em up the ass when they move to a "regular" laptop somewhere down the road.

At the moment, Christianity isn't run for profit (Roman Catholic church notwithstanding).
This has to be one of the funniest things i have ever read!
Translation: Get off my lawn!
MIR means parts that have fallen off of a Russian space station, survived reentry and have been "refurbished" for retail sales.
or they were coding for the browser that had 99% market share up until the last couple years.
i am sure Billy G was glad it wasn't a giant, perfect window!
Ditto for exercise machines. I can bench 110.....
that better not be kilograms or you are not a true nerd.
so....it's like a giant set of Blue Blockers?

It was on CBC radio sometime last year. that is all i remember.

that's just what i need to see when walking down the street....more "purse-tits"...and not the good kind either.

Dear America; please take Nickelback away and don't bring them back. every time the radio plays Nickelback, god kills a llama. signed, Canada
