Exackitilly - trunking, traffic shaping and load sharing has been with us since the age of the dinosaurs. Reordering packets to assemble a stream from multiple routes is not a big deal.
Yup. Most Americans have no idea what communism really is/was. Basically, it was a power grab by a large number of apparachik (officious) people, who enjoyed micromanagement of everyone around them about everything. Nosy Parkers on steroids. In most western countries today, we have many communist institutions now: Old age pension, disability pension, health care, limited working hours, minimum wages... However, we also have the bad things associated with communism: Overflowing prisons, secret/not so secret military prisons (Guantanamo, Guam), places of torture (CIA camps in Poland), spying on everybody innocent or not (NSA, CIA), border fences with guards who shoot to kill (Arizona, California border with Mexico)...
Yeah, yeah and obviously all of that, the continental drift, the isostatic movement of the crust, the wobbling, the uneven gravitation, the tides and effect of the moon are ALL due to global warming and coal burning power stations...
My guess is the placebo effect at work. If fasting is 'healthy', then people in poor countries with inadequate food, will outlive people in rich countries. That obviously isn't happening.
No not really. The high price tag of the F5 includes the whole logistical support package, training, bases, repair facilities and more. Buying a hundred planes with no spares or maintenance means that you can fly only 100 missions - at most - then they are all parked on the runway forever after.
Russia has never invaded Western Europe or North America. It is always the other way around. Russia is an ally, not an enemy. Go and read your neglected high school history books. They are Slavs and they take care of other Slavs, whether the other Slavs like it or not...
You don't really need to fight in the far north. All you need to do, is keep warm and wait for the other guys to starve and freeze. Both Russia and Canada know that very well.
Canada probably has a few bomb kits stashed away somewhere deep down, but nuclear weapons are obsolete. Precision guided bombs are far more useful and cost effective.
It is best to look at this as an economic stimulus for Ontario. The $9B price tag is for the whole package, including the new air force bases, repair facilities, training facilities, spares production, and so on, over the next ten years. An existing programme such as the CF18 will always seem cheaper, since a lot of that already exists.
Ontario's economy is in the gutter and they need something to get them going again. It is a Federal way to force Alberta to bail out Ontario, without stepping up the transfer payments.
The actual planes are not particularly useful at defending Canada against the occasional rogue polar bear or dead bloated whale...
a. Any country that has nuclear reactors can be safely assumed to have a few strategic nuclear bombs stashed down a deep mine shaft. Plutonium has a 25000 year half life, so once you have them you have them. You just have to make triggers regularly.
b. Nuclear bombs are obsolete. It is not necessary to destroy a whole city. Precision guided missiles and bombs are much more useful and cheaper.
c. Russia is not our enemy. Russia is an ally. Russia has never attacked Western Europe or North America, it was always Western Europe attacking Russia, or Western Europe descending into a civil war, then requiring Russia to help fix the mess.
d. Russia is the Slavic big brother that always has to come to the rescue of his little Slavic brothers. They like doing that time and again, just as little as the little brothers like getting slapped upside the head each time.
e. Hysterical propaganda doth not history books make.
f. If you are really looking for an expansionist, evil empire to blame for everything in a simple world view, then you need not look any further than the good Ol' US of A, UK, France or Germany. Blaming everything on Russia doesn't quite fit the facts.
That is a horrible efficiency loss for something that is doing NOTHING. I can't imagine what kind of dumb-ass code resides in the Kinect device driver to make it that bad.
Yup. It is a zero sum game. Therefore the trade agreements will make absolutely no overall difference. If there is a diff, then it is purely due to the bureaucracy.
These things are toys. They are useless for anything except for a few minutes of amusement. Anyone with a catapult and a marble can shoot them down. Yes, I know, cause I have one.
It won't work. Some students will use cell phone modems and others will set up VPN connections to the outside and absolutely nobody would access any of the paid for content directly. For some enlightenment, introduce your board members to the TOR Browser Bundle: https://www.torproject.org/pro...
Even airports, which have the ultimate captive audience, are now going free and open - for example the Vienna airport. So, you will have a whole shitload of schlepp and no hope in hell of making any money.

I thought Capone died long ago on the island...
Firing employees is demotivating. A company with a revolving door policy is continuously demotivating its employees.
Someone should put a lid on the USA, so that they will leave the rest of world in peace.
Uhuh - all the buildings and cars have aircon already. This will make little difference in practice.
Well, now don't confuse things and ruin the global warming story with facts...
Yeah, yeah and obviously all of that, the continental drift, the isostatic movement of the crust, the wobbling, the uneven gravitation, the tides and effect of the moon are ALL due to global warming and coal burning power stations...
Welcome to the world where people believe that sea levels can rise faster year after year in one place than in another.

"I am 34, by the time I get to retirement it should be at least 70....."
Spoken like a true optimist.

It is easy to get office workers to exercise. Just put the coffee machine and the toilets at opposing ends of the building.
They got me with that one.
