I love Corner Gas and supposedly it is going into Syndication. I don't like Little Mosque on the Prairie although the idea for the show is brilliant, I find the writing is your typical "CBC"ish writing that was good in the 70's but now is too... safe. It's hard to explain but anyone who has watched CBC material should be able to understand.
Mind you this is from watching the first couple of episodes. Not sure if it has changed since the first season.
Although the GP was marked as Flamebait, I do know that some of the allure for some people of going to Cuba is just that. Mind you it isn't hard for Americans to go there, they just need to fly out of another country's airport i.e. Montreal.
Is if they fixed the whole tab permanently loading which screws up the rest of the tabs so I have to reopen Firefox. Last night I had to shut FF down and reopen 3 times before I got fed up and switched to IE7. I decided to install the Beta which still it occurs in. Talked to some people at work and they see it as well. The only solution I have seen work sometimes is by clearing out all of the cached date i.e. history, cookies, etc which is unacceptable. Anyone know why it happens and how to fix it?
But is it collaborative if you can come in after the fact, see what other people have done and write down the answers yourself without any interaction with the original group. The people who gathered together to solve the problem initially was collaborative learning. Anyone after that is cheating.
I have had two with Rogers. 1 for MS Flight Simulator X (deleted it as it ran like crap on my machine) and 1 for The Frighteners (couldn't get it from Blockbusters or Rogers, now I am with Zip.ca which is a hell of a better selection). Anyways, if they disconnect me, I will take my highspeed, my digital cable, PVR rental, HD channels, and Home phone over to Bell who I am sure would be more than welcoming..
Still, you need a reallly good sound system to be able to tell the difference. So you are saying that I need to spend oodles of money just so that I can detect something that when you get right down to it, unless you have a room with no external sound interference, the cymbals may not sound quite as nice?
So who should I envy? The guy who is happy with his $400 stereo system with his ipod hooked up through the headphone jack with an RCA connector to the Aux-in or the guy who has probably spent over $100k on a system with wooden knobs and cables that make music more dancable?
Personally I would prefer to be a cheap drunk as it is easier on the pocket book. I think the golden ear is given too much credit.
Silly question but wouldn't the manufacturer give the ability to burn a bin file to a DVD or CD and update the firmware rather than needing an Ethernet connection? My Oppo upsampling DVD player does it that way
We are starting to incorporate SMS to the desktop (approx 100,000) and the intent is to have it happen at night. This means the machines need to be on. We may look at doing wake on lan in the future but there are requirements that need to be met to do that and until then, turning off computers won't be mandated anymore. Of course the advertisements will trigger when the user turns on their workstations but we would like to have most computers updated by the time the user shows up in the morning while minimizing impact on the network when most users are online.
I concur. I found that was happening when I used to wear digital (numbered) watches. After about 10 years of pure digital, I ended up getting a nicer dress watch which had hands, I realized it took me about 5 seconds to remember how to read time. Since then I have only had watches with hands on it. Even though I always have a cell phone which will tell me the time, I find I feel naked without a watch.
Did you happen to notice what the commonality between their lousy acting in the Star Wars movies and their better acting in !Star Wars Movies. Could it be the director? This was a common complaint as well with Carrol Fisher and Alec Guiness in that they hated working for Lucas. In both cases they felt that Lucas was a horrible director and Alec stated that Star Wars was the worst written film he had been in.
There are still inconsistencies with the movies for example: C3P0 and R2D2 don't recognize Obi Wan for who he was on Tatooine when Luke meets up in Ep4. Maybe they were hiding this fact but it seems like this was missed. In ROTJ, Luke asks if Leia remembers her mother and she responds barely as she was pretty young. Yeah maybe 30 seconds old is "pretty young". He could have addressed this one better. The sad thing is that both of these are glaring facts that if you were to watch them all within a short period of time you would easily pick this up.
I just changed my laptop (Compaq R3000) over to Ubuntu from Gentoo and I have to admit it is pretty user friendly and quite good in its inception. However the two things I noticed: 1. I have heard comments that it is easier to install than XP (i.e less keystrokes). Not sure where that came from as it seemed pretty much the same (maybe a little more if you repartitioned the filesystem over several partitions(which at least gives you the ability to do it)). 2. I had to restart the installation when using the default gui based install did not start X up right. I had to use the lower resolution version. Seems to be the one difference between Windows and Ubuntu; Ubuntu wants to start the installation in the prettiest resolutions while Windows assumes 680x480 is default.
However, so far I really like Ubuntu and think it is definitely a nicely polished OS.
There's a huge difference between transistor and tube amps for guitars when they're operating in saturation. Anybody can hear that difference.
Except that most people then throw a solid state stompbox in front of it thus negating most of the benefits. Mind you Germanium diodes do sound nicer than Silicon since they activate at a lower voltage making the wave less harshly clipped.
Hell even one of Marshall's famous tube amps (I think the JCM800) used silicon diodes for the high gain distortion.
A lot of songs is not necessarily due to the amps used but the pedals which were solid state.
Joe Satriani and Steve Vai would have absolutely no use for such a guitar. They have professional guitar technicians sitting back stage making sure every single guitar is fully functional and 100% in tune before it is handed to them between songs:P
Funny you should say that. I swear that is Steve Vai on the Tronical page with a guitar that has one: http://www.tronical.com/home/artists Mind you we don't know if he was handed the guitar and a wad of cash for the picture...
I should have been more clear, but Gibson has a digital guitar line "HDx" or something that is a Line6 ripoff. You are right the powertone is a mechanical device unlike the Line6 gear.
It isn't even Gibson's invention. It is licensed to them from Tronical (which is mentioned in TFA)
Yeah, they may have a lower infant mortality rate but don't get sick with something that requires specialized treatment (unless you can afford to pick up the tab yourself possibly after some travel
Which would be like the US correct? I do live in Canada and granted the Healthcare does have issues (mostly silly things like people who are just sick clogging the hospital when they should stay home or go to a clinic instead), but when my wife required an MRI it was less than a month. It wasn't critical just used for investigation purposes and if we wanted one the next day we could have paid $700 over in Hull across the bridge in Quebec. If it had been a critical issue she would have been bumped to the top. For an MRI, CAT scan, hospital visit, blood flow analysis using a sonogram, and ambulance ride, the total bill was $35. Guess which we paid for?
The one stupid thing I have noticed is that provinces would rather send people south to the states than send them to another province if there is a specialist available in the other province.
Warning: I am extremely biased against Chiropractory and believe it should be shut down. Any arguing with me on it will be pointless. I am sure you are a nice person and so is your chiro but I look at it as snake oil. I am not going to try to convince you not to go but I will give you some facts. Maybe talk to your "doctor" about it but if you decide to continue seeing one, that is your choice and I hope it works out for you...
I can agree with the parent comment. My wife was given a neck adjustment on Dec 28 2003 and on the 2nd of 2004 had a mild (thankfully) stroke. It appears what happened was when the chiro torqued her neck one of her vertebrae moved. Of course a little while later the muscles pushed it back in place which they will do. At the same time a blood vessel was pinched off to her brain causing her left eye to not track quite as well as her right. She is fine but she still gets a bit of vertigo. Talked to a lawyer about it and they said unless we were willing to go through years of heartache and stress her time would be more worthwhile spent telling people her story. Her GP informed her that she has another patient who is middle age who's right arm is now useless due to a bad chiro adjustment.
My wife was 30 at the time of the stroke, in perfect health as she was an avid runner even doing a half-marathon, doesn't drink, never smoked, so not even close to being someone classified as a normal risk for strokes. My wife isn't bitter, I am I admit as I had to look her in the eyes when she was terrified as we didn't know what was happening and whether or not this was the beginning of something bigger. She thinks the big problem was that the chiro glossed over the risks, she doesn't even recall ever being told about them. She had been a semiregular patient for 5 years for lower back pain (which visits to a physical therapist fixed in a couple months after she stopped going to the chiro). I agree with the person up the thread that Chiros should stay away from the neck area and as well they should drop the whole "latent intelligence" BS that moving bones makes your organs work better.
An interesting read (albeit definitely not an unbiased view on the world of chiropractory is book called Spin Doctors, which you can order on Amazon or Chapters .
Maybe we should protest by getting a large amount of people getting tickets and then refusing to conduct a search and then waste the ticket takers time refunding your money. Mind you it wastes the time of the protesters but then again isn't that the whole point?
You should google your car and see if there is a way to get the code number. My 2003 Jeep Liberty would display the code if you did something in the odometer(can't remember what it was off the top of my head) which you could google. Ended up being a loose gas cap. Now to figure out how to get the Check Engine light to stop displaying
I definitely will not buy a monitor from a Mom and Pop store especially an LCD. With Futureshop et al they give a 30 day return policy no questions asked. So if you have a burnt out pixel when first turned on you can return it. M&P's response? Talk to the manufacturer which is usually at least a minimum amount of burnt out pixels.

Tell that to my wife, we went to DC for our anniversary and pretty much visited every museum in the mall. She loved it and wants to go back again.
Did I mention she isn't a geek?

Blame the Liberals for introducing it when they were in power.
Blame the Conservatives for keeping it.
Hell just blame the government in general

Amen. Remember it was the Liberals who originally brought the previous aborted version of this bill up. Both parties are just as guilty.
