"It's a missing feature Linux advocates have long used to argue against Windows in terms of automation and scale."

As head of our distribution department with 100,000 Windows machines under us I find that slightly inaccurate.

It's 4PM, I am still in lockdown and they still haven't confirmed anything other than the one guy is dead. They can't even confirm if he was the one that shot the CF Member

Getting my gun license in a couple months and it is on the list of guns I want. I spent a week up north working with the Canadian Military and a bit with the Rangers and I enjoyed it immensely. They get an allowance to purchase their own equipment. Once out on the tundra they revert to the traditional garb as they found the high-tech stuff doesn't work well.

Yeah our right leaning people are more like your left-middle. You probably wouldn't like them

They went into the consumer market because Apple (and Android)started eating their lunch. The amount of people who can live with their "toys" as a primary work phone is more than the amount that Rim needed/needs to survive. They were trying to plug the dike and stop people from moving over.

Think of it more as a kid moving out of their parent's house at the age of 22 and saying that they still love their parents. The US was more of a 5 year old leaving home against the parents will while flipping them the bird.

Personally I see the CRTC as the same as Quebec's Language Police but on a grander scale: trying to keep Canadian Culture (for whatever that is) alive, when it's pretty much a known fact that culture is a living breathing thing and no matter what you do you can't stop it from evolving.

Exactly I don't want to be using some kind of middleman service. I want it native.

More like they realized that the gerbil wheel that is your job shouldn't define you. It's an means to the end, not end to the means.

Sorry let me rephrase that (while I move the goalposts), when will it work on my Pi with Xbian?

Screw that when will XBMC have support for it.

My guess is they went the way they did was that it is a one time modification to the database to mark it as purchased. If a new person comes on they don't get the album free. Setting it to $0 for only existing users would be probably more difficult.
I understand what they did but I think it kind of backfired for them.

Canada does trade with Cuba and it is a popular vacation site as it is usually more affordable than other island retreats. Some Canadians go there as it also has a more limited selection of holiday-goers (read between the lines). That said americans are going there by flying up to Canada and then flying out. The Cuban customs won't stamp their passports but will very willingly take their tourist money.

This, it's essentially nerd blackface.

Oh also it can act as a firewall as well (not saying much for its capabilities though)

Kind of defeats the cloud feature on Synology NAS doesn't it? Granted you should have it firewalled off except for the specific port it needs.
