That's what it was like with dial-up modems and monthly fees based on the hours you wanted, you regulated your own use, websites had to be small otherwise you didn't get any traffic. I think I was paying $30 for 30 hours in 1994, the $60 p

Interesting, and I learned Microsoft has SkyDrive which I never knew about. If I can find enough of these free services I can store more or upload the same stuff to each storage site and use them as a backup in case one of them accidentall

Canadian cities like Vancouver, Montreal or Toronto would be insane! So many different groups of people marry and their kids marry too creating an amazing mix of people.

I agree, why this footage and why now? Unless it's mandatory to, verbally or with text, say what the footage shown is about there is no way to know what is going on. Context is important especially with highly emotional footage of the Isra

Not necessarily, I'm sure a lot of people thought, and still think, Windows is the only choice i.e. Windows = computer. They don't realize there are other Operating Systems suitable for the home user. Now that Apple is gaining in popularit

Linux has been pretty solid since 1999/2000, before that it was OK for home use but you had to like messing around with it (although it's no worse than Windows was in '93...making a boot disk to play games to get around the memory limitati

plentyoffish is one of the worst websites I've tried, dating or not, the style of it is like something from 1999. Random technical problems that if you ask about go unanswered or you're told to shut up, if not the thread is deleted. The for

When I saw "load" in the title I thought cargo not people. I think a great way to unload cargo is like a bomber, have the cargo in pods and just drop it into a special cargo zone and then let a truck transport it from there. Meanwhile the

Well yeah, sort of. If you think about it what is stock, you pay $10 for a share that someone else paid $5 for, pretty much just because of rumours the company may do better in the next month or year, it's like buying air. At least with co

Speaking of peppery I just made some Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato soup, it's great! Not very spicy as the name implies but you can always add more hot sauce, paprika or hotter peppers (I used Bell Peppers). Here is the recipe I used: htt

My cousin is a Philosophy professor and he says it's annoying to hear "tappity tap tap" all the time, even when he isn't saying anything or before class starts, you can tell people are using IM. I say jam the wifi signal, set up an access
