I did not realize that Chinese was a race. I thought it was a nationality. Is this like how people who question Islam are called racists? Islam is also not a race but a religion and potentially an ideology. Should people oppose communism be called racists too?

Equality? Marriage? Marriage is a social and societal construct which is granted certain collective rights and privileges in exchange for some loss of rights and freedoms. The governments roll is supposed to only recognize marriage. It did not define traditional marriage in the first place. If the government wanted to create a civil legal construct like say "civil union" to include non-traditional marriage then they could do that but to suggest that individual jurisdictions have the right to redefine marriage to include same sex couples is preposterous. You cannot change what you did not own in the first place. Marriage is a construct of all of human society and is not at the whim of any single government authority. You are not any less equal if you remain unmarried, in fact your individual freedom of movement is greater.

So basically you are saying that you are saying that voted liberal or NDP and that you love the CRTC and that harper's people are mean for challenging them and you possibly work for one of the companies that makes up ROBELLUS? You seem also be a fanboy of "science" which is a field of study which wants you to stop anthropomorphising it and stop assigning political or idealogical bias to it. Science is a useful tool for discovery but you need to learn to think for yourself and not be afraid to not believe everything someone tells you just because they have a specific title. Don't be so damn naive.

Why does it make sense? Because America? Even with this token gesture, it will likely be the last Boeing plane used for the president's fleet.

Sorry but how is it a miracle? Have you not seen the commercials from the Harper government about changing the wireless industry in favour of the consumers? Did previous governments even attempt to reform the CRTC or how the wireless industry treats consumers? The answer is no so why the anti-harper rhetoric? Previous governments either did nothing to improve the industry for the benefit of consumers or made it worse by appointing industry cronies to the CRTC board. If you want to blame why it was bad, look at previous liberal governments.

Yes and that was implemented by a Liberal Prime Minister named Pierre Elliot Trudeau. The left like to talk about how they believe in rights and freedoms but once they get in power, their tune changes.

When will they start taking reports of anti-semetic hate speech seriously? It seems that if you call someone a "wuss" for using a community page to troll and make anti-christian and anti-jewish statements instead of their personal account, you will get banned from posting and liking for 3 days if the person in question identifies as gay as well as deleting your relatively inoffensive remark/challenge to use a personal account instead so that we can block them. However, if you report one of those same people for hate speech against a religious or ethnic group, nothing will happen to them and the comment will not be deleted regardless of how many times people report their hate speech.

Equality means equal responsibility and equal application of punishments as well as privileges. Why is hate speech against christians and jews tolerated by facebook reviewers and why is calling someone a "wuss" grounds for a temp ban?

Corona beer only looks recycled.

Beer is never free. Someone has to pay for it.

Sounds like you should get yourself checked out by a doctor if your pores are extruding crap.

Are you an environmentalist? Do you drive a car, fly on jets for vacation trips? Do you drive cars on road trips? If so, then you do not practice what you preach. If you believe carbon credits in any way benefit the environment then I have a bridge to sell you.

Live your life the way you preach to others before you preach.

All you greenies do is talk about how "we" should change but "you" do absolutely nothing yourselves. What to help the planet? Plant a tree, move closer to your work, sell your car and instead use car sharing services and transit. Stop telling "us" what to do and make definitive changes yourselves.

I am not a greenie and I don't tell others what they should or should not do but I don't drive a car by choice and it has nothing specifically do do with being an "environmentalist".

I am sure carriers are given beta testing access but I doubt they have a veto on updates because the update, barring hardware differences on models, is the same for all iOS devices. So the core of the OS is the same on a Verizon, Sprint or AT&T phone but only differs in the cell radio firmware portion.

Should not matter. If they are patching the core, the core should be available for updating by google directly by alerting the user of a needed patch. The customization should not be touching the core of the OS.

Hindsight is 20/20 but they could have copied the idea from Apple where a process would periodically check for vulnerabilities in the background. They could patch the vulnerable component through a google updater on the phone. I don't think most vulnerabilities would require a new ROM for the phone.
