    I think the whole thing with wanting to keep it an M (correct me if I am wrong) but some major retailers won't carry it if it is rated AO (Walmart...?)

    As far as I can remember, it is the City that is offering it and when walking around I was just hopping APs (the same as if I was walking the halls of my University, hopping from AP to AP) and I do believe it was either a b or a g connection.

    Lately they have been making it with access points downtown, (Young/bay/york) and you can walk around... I was doing it near the Eaton centre... its free for now, but might be pay later they are saying...

    If it is anything like Brain Ages we should be fine... I am very impressed with that recognition, I have horrendous writing and it still gets it right 90% of the time.

    A lot of Downtown centres are wireless now (think Toronto and SanFran to name 2), instead of walking around with a laptop in one hand, I can now walk around surfing on my DS

    but the GBA cart that comes with it has extra RAM in it for utilization.

    Thats an awesome reference to the Corean Chronicles by Modesitt Jr. If you haven't read any, do so, they are amazing books.

    But there is evidence of lots of glass strewn about the desert in an isolated part... and only in that one part, even if it is a large area of land... so I doubt it was traded for, and you disproved you're own volcano theory...

  11. Re:Lightning? on Pharaoh's Gem Brighter Than a Thousand Suns · · Score: 5, Informative

    I'm sure there has been lightning strikes, but this glass was formed over an enormous area of land, and a lightning strike wouldn't make glass of this magnitude in depth and area, it would have to be something that would be much hotter and a hell of a lot bigger than lightning.

    I totally agree with you, I posted an article that said Sony is still the most trusted/best hardware based on a survey, Microsoft didn't even show up on this list (it was a survey by the way). I submitted it with a half-decent write up that I even spell-checked... guess what, Zonk was on the job and it was rejected meer seconds after I hit submit...

    He could have only had time to see the title, see it was something good about Sony and hit reject... wellcome to MSFUDot.org the #1 domain for all of you Microsoft FUD needs...

    Agreed whole heartedly.

    The way the world percieves Americans is so bad, that a couple I know from there who are great people were pertending they were Canadian when we were travelling just because Americans are frowned upon so much. (We were on a Caribean (sp?) Cruise)

  21. The Department... on RFID Passports Raise Safety Concerns · · Score: 0, Troll

    Zonk, you are a retard. 1) That is a stupid reference that people try to use to make fun of the way SOME Canadians speak (started as far as I know by South Park) 2) This article has nothing to do with Canada at all.

    So, if I am mistaken and you are not a complete and utter moron, what were you referencing with the "... dept" line?

  22. Easy Way To Stop Skimming on RFID Passports Raise Safety Concerns · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why not just have the case lined with tin-foil or a thin metal sheet of some kind. Then when it is needed to be checked you have to open the case and/or take it out. These cases can be distributed with the Passports. In my experience with RFID wrapping it in tin-foil alone stops it from working (My work makes me use one to get into the office, yes I have tested this)

    RFTA and tell me that changing the whole mechanics of a game is no innovation. They could have done what they normally do and just re-release it, same controls and all, they don't need to support the motion sensor of the Wiimote, last I checked it still has buttons to play games as well.

    EA innovating and not just re-releasing the same game with the trades made... I jsut got shivers running down my spine...
