No linux drivers is all about money.. you KNOW there must be some deal going on when a hardware's shipping box has another corporation's registered trade mark on the side with the statement that it is compatable with their OS. Guess you could figure that if an OS is open source, one of the...

No shortage of innovations, they just carefully meter out improvements so the marketing department has something "new and improved" to launch when sales drop their watermark. Between "improvement" launches the lawyers are taskes with trying to find ways to take the edge off the competition by...

No such thing as 'friendly fire' unless you are reporting for the FOX network. Playing what if could also extend to the law enforcement officers having batons and the shooter having a lot more ammunition. I still believe that the officers need better training and more recurrent practice so...

Dont know what makes least sense in that story: letting the killer go free because they are under age, or pardoning someone after they were put to death. With that sort of justice system it is all the better that they restrict private civizens from owning firearms.

Total disconnect indeed. I was mentioning that people operating a firearm be sufficiently trained, which would also include recurrent training for firearm operators. I really think it would be foolish to follow what you are suggesting and have law enforcement practice on the streets such as...

Washington Post - also on the bandwagon - amazing how these 'facts' are published in the media before investigations are completed. Never the less I guess I am one of these "gun nuts" because earlier I posted that it makes sense for a gun owner to protect themselves. I also suggested that a...

Those 9 were clearly standing too close to the original gunman trying to take a photograph. Not all 9 injured were shot, if you care to delve deeper then some foreign news report who jumped onto the sensationalism bandwagon.

With the US and Canadian governments still permitting (and supporting via various loand, grants and bursaries) the clear cutting and slash & burn of trees in order to plant cash crops it is truely a great thing when someone takes thought to support a tree. It has been proven so many times in...

That is very sobering news indeed - he has made a huge mark in the history books for technology, yet he was an extremely humble person and always made sure that praise was properly directed to the people who have supported great achievements with their tireless toiling in the background. R.I.P.

If visiting Montreal the best EVER fish restaurant is "Peters Cape Cod" which is west of the city in Ste Anne de Bellevue. There are a surprizing number of french speaking people in New England, mostly Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont.

Passports are now a must - no more drivers licenses, library cards or letter from your pastor accepted... South to north crossing by car is not too much hassle, they just ask everyone crossing rather then the random 1 in 7 like before, there are a lot of people from Canada going across the...

Border crossing is nothing like back in the day - we would cross and just go and sign into USA in the big book at the diner/convenience store if it was off hours - have to sign out of USA if it was off hours as well. You would not dare 'sneak in' in case you were not able to 'sneak out' then...

A lot of people are quick to judge and slow to help, I would rather help first and then bother with it later (only if helping bothers me - which it does not). In Montreal across from the old Forum there is a park where some homeless congregate as it is close to the Old Brewery Mission where...

Obviously the village troll is off his medications again, try not to take the posts too seriously. The moderators know all about what is reality and what is perceived as reality by our favourite little narcissist. :rolleyes:

Lot of the 'occupy' movement people were thoughtful enough to write their political statements on buildings (etc) with sidewalk chalk, intent is not to permanently 'tag' things like a graffiti artist would do... so they were arrested for defacing property none the less... and it has filtered...

Well - if you sell it right, people will buy horse pee if you put it in a fancy bottle with a blue ribbon on it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premarin

People do strange things in attempts to better there selves. I have a laugh when I see television advertising where some company is promoting some plant which is incorporated in some sort of cream or gel which is supposed to transform a persons appearance back to when they were 10 years...

They really need to have the same controls over shovels as they do for sidewalk chalk and arrest people for possession... http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/07/13/us-usa-occupy-art-idUSBRE86C0X220120713

So here is a realistic scenareo - two drunken (or perhaps high) thugs under the age of majority are chucking stones and breaking every single window in your home in the middle of the night and yelling all sorts of obscenities towards your home... so you go and get your camera and take a picture...

You would also get a butt fill of pepper corns if you hassle the cows or chase the livestock... just saying...
