If they are travelling from Alaska they can stop between Hyder and Smithers and plug into the rear of some random moose. In all seriousness tho there are stretches of that Hi-way where there is nothing but trees. As for houses you have the old draft dodgers that took their trailers up there and squatted on random land -- so now you have trailers that have been added on to with more trailers and even attached to mobile homes (quite odd indeed to see). But, still no power.

you're right -- I used to use Emacs but no i've switched to VI -- Notepad doesn't work in my OS of choice (natively)

So what happens when you get a fraction of a 30 atom thick splinter from this crap in your finger? or worse all over your body? I don't even want to imagine what would happen if the surface were to shatter or splinter.

"you require more minerals"

This would make viewing and participating with certain types of "vivid" media a little more challenging to say the least.

Newsreader: From today, dialling 999 won't get you the emergency services. And that's not the only thing that's changing.

Seems a good proxy service is worth its weight in gold. A Canadian friend of mine just ordered after using PROXZ. Order completed and shipped already to a U.S address. Unknown if he could have shipped to a Canadian address.
