    something MS barely does (one PDC?)
    I think you mean something MS barely did. With AD, all Domain Controllers are on an equal footing. Granted there is a PDC Emulator but that is only if you aren't running in Native Mode due to existing NT 4 BDCs. In Native Mode your PDC Emulator's role becomes only for account changes (Password changes or account lockout) otherwise it is a normal Domain controller.

    Nah he applied for refugee status in Canada and is now living off our welfare. Course he moved to Montreal as he didn't want to go to Ontario cause then he would have to work for his welfare check.

    Wow a jab at both the federal and provincial government in one easy swoop.

    I feel I must be the only person who is actually repulsed by Pamela Anderson. I find she is too plastic looking. Plus whenever she opens her mouth and talks it gets worse. I saw her on a Howard Stern show (yes that doesn't say much about me but I used to watch it but I digress) with the other girls from VIP and she was very open about her sexual practices to the point that you wish she wasn't)

    Mind you, she has gotten better since removing her implants and this is just my small opinion floating in a sea of others.

    His acting in Bill and Ted's and Point Break was so good it almost was like he was a natural for these movies :)

    Seriously though I think the reason he fit in so well the role of Neo was because his lines were so minimal.

    I think it would really suck for FPS games if a person normally does the Mouse + Keyboard method.

    the hassle over the Canadian Univercity
    It wasn't a Canadian University. I think it was either Texas A&M or some other university in Texas. Supposedly they had something going on with another University in Texas and had a web site there. The French govt bitched about the lack of French (I don't think there was any at all on the page) and fined them. They promptly moved the server to the US and hosted it from there.

    I think the parent should have said small not poor. I too only have a 25" but I really don't see a problem other than the bars however after a short while they kind of disappear.

  21. This is good to hear on Widescreen (Finally) Winning · · Score: 2, Informative

    About 2 months ago I actually sat down and sent an email to Blockbuster saying that I was disappointed that they carried one movie in only Fullscreen. I did get a response back from them that sounded like they have received more than my email. I also said that if they didn't carry it in Widescreen I would go to Rogers (which is probably their biggest competition in Canada) since they usually did. Glad to see somethings do work by sending (constructive) feedback.

    The funny thing is they seem to be carrying sometimes both widescreen and full for the same movie (i.e Red Dragon) All the widescreen versions were mostly gone however only about 3 of 20 copies in fullscreen were taken.

    Ghost will work on hardware that isn't identical (to a certain degree)) as long as you sysprep the machine and ensure the drivers are included with necessary paths in the Sysprep.inf file (OEMPNPDriversPath is where you would be putting the path)

    It's because of the Canadian government bending over for a minority that is smaller now than other minorities because the English handed the French their ass on a platter over a hundred years ago and felt bad about it.

    I realise that things are different in Canada, but in the US it is completely legal to have even a fully operational (which this is not) magazine deliever to you.
    Actually in Canada you have the same opportunity. However we do have a law that all guns must be licensed (it is a bit of a sore point for some (and they do have their point) but I have seen it do good personally (see Below))

    Believe it or not we are actually a very gun totin' nation.
    Watching Bowling for Columbine you get that impression :)

    Now with regards to the time I have seen the Gun Registry work in a positive way:
    My Wife's uncle had a problem with a Racoon getting into his garden and decided to go out into his back yard and shoot it with his rifle (I think it was only a .22). He killed it but the problem is he was living in a city. If he had missed... So obviously he is a bit of a hothead.

    Anyways when the registry came out, he got rid of his rifle.
