I wonder if this would make some (clearly stupid) people feel that they can now safely disregard looking after the earth with the comfort of a bigger and newer planet so close by? duane chaos "chaos is not just a theory!"

An anonymous reader writes "There is a storm brewing in Canada as the prestigious Conference Board of Canada has been caught plagiarizing US copyright lobby group documents in a report on copyright reform. The report was funded by the Canadian copyright lobby as well as by the Ontario government. The Conference Board has acknowledged some errors, but stands by the report, while the Ontario government admits spending thousands of dollars and it now wants some answers."

Oh dang it!! I'm Canadian and I just did it again...

I can see why. Vista sucks. It is the operating system of the mentally deficient. I now have XP installed (I have to have at least one Win machine for work) and refuse to even try Win 7 due to a complete lack of trust with Redmond. It is their own doing and when you stir up a hornets nest, you get stung.

Hilarious idea - get 500 /.er's entering an amateur competition to prove of disprove myths for a reality show. I want to work for Mythbuster's, wake every morning, have a coffee, grab some dynamite and blow shit up!!

I live in Canada. According to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, "15. (1) Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability." Also - 2. Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms: a) freedom of conscience and religion; b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication; c) freedom of peaceful assembly; and d) freedom of association. http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/charter/

http://www.amazon.com/Holographic-Universe-Michael-Talbot/dp/0060922583 Michael Talbot wrote this book years ago. Others have had this theory since 1980-1985. Of course, if it is a hologram, those who created it might want you to read this comment. LOL! THe book itself was written in 1992.

"it is the only living mammal that can actually inject venom into their prey through specialized teeth" did they invite Steve Ballmer to this contest? At least the shrew cannot throw a chair very far.

and I can see why this would be needed. It was 26 in the winter. I would however worry about the effect of some kid digging into a freon tube with a shovel or a leak. Nevertheless, it would make far more sense to use the natural deep water to pipe up onto the sub-beach level to act as a heat-exchanger. Duane Nickull http://technoracle.blogspot.com

I work for Adobe on the ODF Technical Committee. ODF made some great decisions that make the format much more admirable over others (use of RelaxNG Schema, open formats wherever possible etc.). I am happy about the growing use of OO. Jon Bosak also has posted some great thoughts on this. Jon's thoughts on ODF, OOXML and PDF.
