Air Canada Ordered To Provide Nut-Free Zone 643

JamJam writes "Air Canada has been told to create a special 'buffer zone' on flights for people who are allergic to nuts. The Canadian Transportation Agency has ruled that passengers who have nut allergies should be considered disabled and accommodated by the airline. Air Canada has a month to come up with an appropriate section of seats where passengers with nut allergies would be seated. The ruling involved a complaint from Sophia Huyer, who has a severe nut allergy and travels frequently. Ms. Huyer once spent 40 minutes in the washroom during a flight while snacks were being served."

Journal Journal: Office 2007 Wrecks Outlook Express Spell Check.

Ai-Eeee! ca c'est bon, no?:

Much to the delight of Francophiles everywhere, Microsoft's Office 2007 switches Outlook Express spell-checkers to work only in French. Those disposed to communicate in other languages are being advised to use third-party programs.

No, that's not good. Microsoft French is probably worse than mine. I'm glad to be a Kontact user.

Comment Caps Lock useful to disabled (Score 1) 1206

What about people who are missing fingers or perhaps don't have hands/the use of hands and are typing through a straw? (Any slashdotters out there in that situation?) Sure there are custom designed keyboards, and specialized software for that sort of thing, but when it comes down to it the only multi key combination that is difficult to work around not being able to do is shift+alpha unless you have caps lock of course. Caps lock makes it so that someone who can only type with a straw can have rudimentary use of any computer. (Except for Macs with the apple key + ctrl + shift + mouse click functions.)
