Yeah, it's what happens when you round people up and put them in internment camps. I am sure anything of substantial value was taken and sold...

10 am sunrises are spectacular and you are actually awake to stop and witness them. I really miss them in Saskatchewan.

LOL, I grew up in Saskatchewan that never had a time change and no jetlag either. We had to wake up in the dark, just like every other province in the winter. Glad to see the time change going away, people need to pick a timezone and sti

The percentage is rather meaningless without a clue as to how much the daily transfer is and the time-frame is completely arbitrary. You have easily picked 100% of 21.6 minutes of transfer, by the week or by the decade. Leaks used to be re

Usually age and inadequate maintenance, but I expect TC is within regulatory requirements. Usually Enbridge is making headlines with pipeline leaks. There are very reliable testing methods that require shutting down the pipeline, and I un

TikTok is actually a great app. Content is very entertaining and it is actually easy to use. I still can't figure out Snapchat. Today it is just a way for me to burn 15 minutes, but I see plenty of potential and make the concerns of

Overall, I love my X1, but I have had so many problems that they finally replaced it with a brand new machine. Premier support is mandatory for Lenovo IMO, in spite of the problems, I never once had an issue getting someone onsite to repai

The business case to stop managing Oracle contracts and licencing is probably pretty good, especially when factoring in the sick days and stress leave of employees dealing with their infuriating people, processes and tools.

It actually feels good giving away money. Try giving away $100, it doesn't need to be a million.

Yes, but the circumstance that caused the collapse of most fragile democracies in South America and Africa was the 70s oil crisis and subsequent governments (dictators, old elite, crazy bastards) that ran up massive debts.

Good luck New York with Andy Byford! I was never impressed with the man and was happy to see him leave Toronto.

It is unfortunate that Oracle can't put this effort into fixing their horrible contract management system so that I can get Oracle support quotes on time.

There should also be a factor for land mass when considering "fairness", but reality is that the tar sands are the cause of our growing ghg emmissions. Even the industry's propaganda site claims it is single handedly respons

I am still awe at how bad MS is at making Windows apps. To Do is a poster child. I think Visio uses less RAM, is extremely laggy, slow to load, crashes many times a week and has awful layout for pen input.

I dropped out of highschool, and decided to learn whatever I want. How sad to incarcerate oneself with so much debt without the slightest interest in learning anything.

I really struggle with the idea that dinosaurs and fossils were a discovery in the 1800's. Writers make up anything these days. However, a separate thread is that these tycoons did create corporate dinosaurs, which is where I assumed

America is so far right of center, many of the so called dirt bag left are actually center right. However, in my experience extreme right wing social conservatives can be pretty good at self-cleansing by constantly sharing their amazing opi

Garbage in, garbage out. This study doesn't mean anything as it relies on information provided to 23 and me. The question asked if a person had a same sex experience, which doesn't mean a person is gay, bi or straight. Further

What a horrible headline, but Wired being the source is enough of a warning. Google is doing nothing nefarious here, SMS needs to go the way of 9600bps modems. Newsflash, your phone calls aren't encrypted on the PSTN and neither are

I've worked on UC for most of my career and loved Google Wave. Conceptually they were right, but it required imagination on the part of the user and there was no bridge to the past. Instead of addressing this, Google killed off the p
