I don’t understand what you’re saying. Hydro Quebec pays royalties of $2-3 billion per year to the Government of Quebec.

Or do you mean that the government of Quebec subsidizes electricity consumers?

Smart move on their part. He would have stolen all of their medals.

People are bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.

I’ve been a developer for 25 years, and I enjoy reading the Dolphin blog. It reminds me that there are people out there who are incredibly dedicated, brilliant, and happy to solve technical problems just for the joy of it.

The length they go to to recreate even hardware bugs fills me with awe.

Even though the blog is filled with highly technical discussion, it is written clearly and excessively. I absolutely recommend it.

This really seems like an artificial attempt to get people watching curling. If these were my kids complaining about one of them touching a rock he wasn’t supposed to, I would tell them to get over it and stop bothering me.

So does that mean that Ontario will not be the province with the lowest post-secondary funding in all of Canada? It would have to increase funding by 55% just to catch the next worst province (Alberta).

I’d love to ask Scrubs, but you have linked to some shitty advertising video. It doesn’t even continue on to the real video.

Except that this time we won’t have to cross an ocean to get to the Nazis.

It may be because the Canadians were well known in both wars for not taking prisoners. That’s not true in every engagement, of course, but in Normandy, after a number of Canadian soldiers were taken prisoner and then executed, their comrades would execute any Germans they captured.

You probably also don’t know that the country with the most volunteer soldiers in World War II was India, than 2 million men.

Or that both Canada and New Zealand had mutinies where men refused to go overseas to fight.

There’s a lot of fascinating stuff. I recommend the podcast We Have Ways of Making You Talk, for an informative and entertaining look at almost every facet of the war. They are up to something like episode #800 now.

It turns out that the Navy is going to donate some of their budget to building massive detention centers.

I guess one positive thing is that I have never heard of sap delivering anything on time or on budget, so there is probably plenty of time for a decent competitor to grab market share

You might want to look at something like Drupal as an alternative to WordPress. Drupal tends toward a lot more open source for its plugins (which they call modules). As a developer myself, I also find it better engineered than WordPress, although maybe that’s just because I used Drupal more.

My favorite thing about the X-Files was the spin-off called Millennium, whose second season was some of the best TV I have ever watched. It even did crossovers with The X-Files, like “Jose Chung’s Doomsday Defense”, a blistering satire of Scientology.

I may be a bit too sensitive about this, because my Google news feed is filled with ads from companies in India that dress themselves up like CTV or CBC News stories. It’s infuriating when I realize that I have been taken in once again. I have reported a few of them, but obviously Google doesn’t care.

If we can get rid of the Indian gangs, then we are just left with the Chinese triads and tongs, the Vietnamese gangss, the Sri Lankan gangs, the Russian gangs, the Italian mafia, and let’s not forget the homegrown biker gangs.

It’s also what the US civil war was all about.

About being caught raping all those children.

Oh, I’m definitely going to rely on an article in the Hindustan Times.
