    XMas Present From Family - Which Tablet?

    Ended up that under the tree will be an Air2 64 + a Logitec keyboard case. As noted above, I've become comfortable with the Apple ecosystem and there is synergy with other devices in the household. Thanks.

    XMas Present From Family - Which Tablet?

    So family is kicking in to get me a tablet this month. Wife has an iPad (last year's, not sure which model) and likes it fine...I haven't used it much. I'm inclined to go iPad Air2 64 or 128, as my business phone is iPhone 5 so there is some symbiosis there. Use is primarily surfing and...

    ~ Official 2011 What you get for Christmas Thread ~

    I have that knife, in the BOS heat treated S30V steel version - not sure whether yours is that or the lesser expensive one, but I've been carrying it for about 2 years as my pocketknife and everything about it is beyond awesome - great build, great steel, holds a wicked edge, very comfortable in...

    Comment Thread for AMD HD 7970 3GB Review

    Meh, the top dog will virtually always have the worst bang/buck...that's not its purpose in life, it's to be the fastest...and, of course, recoup the development costs and make a few bucks too. Nice thorough review...how long did you have it in hand? Must have been a week, I'll guess. No...

    HeHe - Cool Xmas Present

    Had my bud over for dinner, and he handed me a wrapped box. I was thrilled to death to see what was inside - my wife said I looked like a little kid at, well, Christmas - I'm 48. I've been reading Penny Arcade faithfully since it started, back in around 1997, 3 times a week. Fruit F*cker...

    a theoretical question

    Death penalty + mistakes - it has been 35 years since it was abolished in Canada (and, according to what I read, 49 years since it was last used). How far has forensic science moved in that time? Immeasurably, especially the science of DNA. Again, no death penalty for 'circumstantial' cases...

    a theoretical question

    Might wanna do a little reading on the current state of that subject. They're looking at tightening up their laws considerably, many negative things have happened in their society as a result of their lax drug laws. Kinda like the Swiss, who found that supplying heroin to addicts was a...

    North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has died at the age of 69

    Too close to China, who don't want a gigantic buildup of foreign troops sitting on their border, for one. Not worth the Americans' time due to lack of resources to take over :doh::whistle: Also N Korea is rumoured to have nukes, those crazy fkers might just dump a couple on Seoul if things...

    Canada quiting Kyoto treaty

    I definitely egged him on, and definitely think he doesn't likely have much life experience yet, to have such a utopian outlook :biggrin: But that's fine... "Show me a young Conservative and I'll show you someone with no heart. Show me an old Liberal and I'll show you someone with...

    Canada quiting Kyoto treaty

    Let me stop you right there and ask what you're talking about? Federal Support to Provinces and Territories Federal transfers of $17B this year and next to Que. wiki has it as $7.8 B though I'm not entirely sure I'm looking at the same thing. This number is likely more accurate as a net-net...

    Canada quiting Kyoto treaty

    I know we're veering pretty far OT here, but wouldn't Quebec be totally impoverished (poor, broke) if it separated? Many big corps left in the 80's and there would be a flood more leaving if separation were approved. What have you got there, some mining, James Bay Hydro, tourism, and ?? I...

    Canada quiting Kyoto treaty

    Nicely said and agreed on all points, particularly the healthcare and wishlist for university. Which are *gasp* liberal (small L) ideals. I have to go wash my mouth out with soap now :shok: Lamb - I don't believe I ever said you were a Liberal party supporter. The Liberals are, however...

    Canada quiting Kyoto treaty

    What does that mean exactly? Every party is the same when in power with a majority. 'Here's how it's going to be.' debate debate debate 'passed'. Opposition grumbles and talks about how undemocratic the democratically elected government party is. Repeat for 144 years, minus the years with...

    Canada quiting Kyoto treaty

    The $ figures are estimates, based on Canada's being expected to not reach our targets. By dropping out now (we had to give 1 year's notice, we are still a treaty member until the end of 2012), we avoid somewhere between $14 and 19 BILLION in penalties. Those numbers have been all over the...

    Canada quiting Kyoto treaty

    Agree, it's a natural event. So, if we hadn't left Kyoto, we'd be on the hook for 14 to 19 BILLION DOLLARS for targets not met. Sorry, I pay enough taxes already without adding a few hundred to my (or thousands to my kids' future) tax bills. What, you think they'd pass the bill onto...

    Job Contemplation

    Yar, apprenticeship is an investment in yourself that will last a lifetime. Up to you whether the environment is too toxic to allow your survival. As to courses, is your boss approachable? Could you talk to him about paying for the site/job specific tickets, or ask if he's done in the past...
