Wind is good but only if you live in the largest cities in Canada and almost never travel. In the 3000+km of Canada west of Windsor Ontario I think there are only 4 wind zones: Vancouver, Whistler, Edmonton, and Calgary. It doesn't even cover all of metro Vancouver. Other larger cities and towns and along major highways there is roaming that costs extra for data, voice and text. Some towns I visit for work have no coverage at all.

You seemed to miss the part about keeping it free for existing users.

The thing is North Korea and South Korea are technically at war. The Korean war has never ended, they only agreed to a ceasefire. Doing anything to promote or aid another country that your country is at war with is a serious crime in every country in the world. In this case however it sounds like the reaction is totally overblown as retweeting their dumb tweets isn't helping North Korea in any way.

I can't do that as I lose access the game I just bought.

Microsoft also has issues with Xbox Live although not close to as bad. Some guy when he bought Xbox Live Gold accidentally entered my email address which has linked his 5 year account to my email. Last weekend I bought a game on steam which requires Games for Windows Marketplace. Since I had to have an account to play the game I entered my email and it said I already had an account so I did a password reset. This other guy has now lost his Xbox Live Gold account with 7 months left already paid for and support doesn't seem to know how to fix it. Also I now have a stupid gamertag which apparently I can't change without an Xbox.

This doesn't compare to the skype hole but there should be no way to link an account to an unverified email address.

Or Gim in Korean. You want to buy the stuff toasted in sesame oil, not the unflavored version used for kimbap/sushi rolls. You can even buy Gim at Costco in Vancouver sometimes.

It doesn't change your point but Canada supplies the most oil to the USA. 2x more than Saudi Arabia and 3x more than Mexico who are 2nd and 3rd in supplying the US with oil.

Swimming is not measured to thousandths of a second. Because of tolerances in pool measurements etc. it is only measured within one hundredth of a second. It is also not uncommon for someone to take off several seconds between the age of 15 and 16, especially in a longer race like the 400m IM. Unless any evidence appears that she was cheating I won't accuse her of anything. Performance can't be the only indication that someone is cheating. She had the best stroke technique in the pool for the backstroke and freestyle.

That is exactly why I haven't bought one yet. They need to include an SD/micro SD slot.

My windows 7 laptop supports up to 32 GB of RAM (Lenovo Thinkpad W520, 4 slots). And this 32GB limit is set by the hardware not by windows.

I finally upgraded my laptop with an mSATA SSD. Having the hard drive + SSD in a laptop is fantastic. Prices for mSATA had a big premium and lower performance over 2.5" SSDs until very recently. The 3cm by 5cm form factor is incredibly small and seems like it should take over soon for any small laptop. The only downside is I don't know if any laptops have more than 2 SATA 3 ports so most set them for the 2.5" and DVD locations. 265 MB/s write and 280 MB/s read is still amazing not to mention about 800x more IOPS compared to a spinning disk.

I am an electrical engineer. I guess my work fits under consulting since I do work for heavy industrial clients.

I also recommend thinkpads. I bought a Lenovo thinkpad w520 in October that I am very happy with. It is built like a tank so not ideal for travel but great if you mostly use at home. It supports up to 32 GB of ram in 4 slots and has a mSATA slot so you can have a SSD + 2.5" hard drive. Mine is 1600x900 and you can upgrade to 1080p. Fast quad core i7. It only cost $1200 Canadian without SSD. Lenovo seems to cycle coupons so whatever you buy wait until it is on sale for $150-250 off. The only bad thing is mSATA SSDs in retail cost more with worse performance compared to the 2.5" SSDs.

I bought a 2TB 3.5" disk in March 2011 for $70 Canadian. They were at $70 for at least a few months before the flood.
