I'm not sure you realise how the Canadian government works then. Once you have a majority in the House, you are effectively in power until your term is up and you ask the Governor General to dissolve the house and hold an election. Now

Give xtraFinder ( http://www.trankynam.com/xtrafinder/ ) a shot, it'll let you copy paths of a directory, along with a whole other suite of additions. Makes Finder a whole lot better.

Thanks for this, this is great. I run iTerm2 in visor mode (quake-type pull down console), but that DTerm can figure out what the cwd I'm in is great!

At what point is an entity sufficiently advanced enough that what makes it up isn't considered artificial any longer? How are we not just sufficiently advanced biological robots? We don't consider ourselves artificial, yet we resp

HyperCard was absolutely amazing. It was my introduction to computer programming as well. Hell, I even made a chat server / client based in HyperCard with a simple AppleTalk XCMD/XFCN. It still shocks me how easy everything was to

I'm sorry, it seems like you haven't been paying attention to the world stage. America's is definitely not the only government putting itself before its citizens. Look at Australia, Canada, the UK, and arguably, many of the T

The word is out, the people no longer trust their governments. Big surprise when the governments don't trust their people. The road goes both ways.

Nice work with the 'Oilslick' elevation ramp. That provides for some very neat spatial pattern recognition/identification. I don't think I've seen anything quite like that before.

Except, it is, and this doesn't invalidate that fact. But for some reason there's a vast market of people who really like hilariously large screens. Unfortunately, I'm not one of them... I'll keep hanging onto my 4s than

That's cool. How about putting it on your site, even if it means making an 'About Us' page (although it'd probably be better integrated into the landing page)? Pointing people to your domain at this point doesn't he

I'm currently reading 1491 by Charles C. Mann, excellent book about the Americas before Columbus and how much of what we have been taught is either incorrect or misinformed. A follow up to this is 1943, what happened in the Americas af

It'd be nice if you had the cost on your page instead of just a link to the Apple Store. I dislike this trend.

I entirely disagree. You cannot put all the onus on the students when departments and degrees require classes that hold no interest to the pupil. Sure, I'll give you that this may apply for 4th (and perhaps 3rd) year classes and post g
