It's like the Palestinians who constantly launch explosive devices into Israel, you're not going to win that way, all you're going to do is create new enemies.

So... Americans, please come shoot our geese and drink our excellent beer this fall.
Why not shoot the geese? The article didn't say that they were protected, endangered, or otherwise not-shootable. Is the section of Ottaway the geese are polluting not safe for discharging firearms?
In New Mexico, we have a number of animals that require culling (due to the elimination of top level predators) and the way New Mexico Game and Fish solves the problem is by issuing hunting licenses. This seems to work pretty well for us.
Bloody good question, as a resident of the Ottawa area I can testify that there doesn't exactly seem to be a shortage of geese, and in some places they really are a nuisance.
So I did a little digging, sure enough our efficient government have created a Canada Goose FAQ. And it turns out that the little buggers are protected under the Migratory Birds Convention Act because their migratory. However:
The Act gives the federal government the responsibility to establish hunting seasons, and Canada Geese are greatly appreciated by migratory game bird hunters across the country. More than 500 000 Canada Geese are taken in Canada each year by hunters.
Migratory Birds Hunting Regulations, 2013–2014: Ontario
There is an open season on the Canada Goose from the beginning of September to the middle of December. But with a limit of 5 geese per licenced hunter per day.
So yes, hunting geese is an option, but no, just shooting them in the spring would be illegal.
TL;DR -- It's the nesting season, their migratory and there's international agreements covering the treatment of migratory birds, we can only hunt/shoot them in the fall.
The rest of the world does not need America or American software developers. They have their own.
And what has that given us? KDE?

im flat out fucking my server.
take that, cloud geeks.
That brings new depth to the phrase: "The fucking server is down."
WordStar and Lotus 123 were the killer apps of DOS until Windows reared it's head.
Quote from that page:
In January 2013, Daimler AG, Ford Motor Company and Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., under the Alliance with Renault, have signed a unique three-way agreement for the joint development of common fuel cell system. The goal of the collaboration is to jointly develop a common FCEV system while reducing investment costs associated with the engineering of the technology, and deriving efficiencies through economies of scale, and will help to launch the world's first affordable, mass-market FCEVs as early as 2017.
Meanwhile it looks like Toyota's Hydrogen system is also hybrid.

Ford/Ballard partnership in 2007 to build plug-in hydrogen/electric
Why not Zoidberg? I mean both. I can't imagine hydrogen fuel being cheaper than charging at home within the next 20 years. But with hydrogen fuel cell you can have a relatively quick refueling for extended driving. Something like a hydrogen/electric plugin vehicle would be the most appealing to me.
Indeed. I don't know if anyone is even considering this option, but it sounds brilliant to me.
What idiot would want JavaScript for application development?
Me. I am one of the idiots. I like prototypes over classes and like I like first-class functions. I'm in good company. Other idiots include Google, DataHero, Facebook, Dow Jones, and Uber.
