futureshop makes all its money from LYING to customers.
the salesman lied to someone i was with today just as below.
http://futureshopsucks.com/2010/01/future-shop-wants-to-charge-100-to-install-windows/he implied there is no OS on the machines and that the $100 charge is for purchasing and installation.
i is why i personally try to shop at tigerdirect

i am really curious about what is going on with the major mistakes i make when writing emails. ie. what part of my "automatic pilot" is screwing up so badly. i do not make the same mistakes when writing something by hand - and the email mistakes are mostly, truly heinous. e.g. i will write "by" instead of "pie". such a broken telephone between different centres of my brain is perplexing - and i want to read up on what type of neurological disorders correspond to such mistakes.
is france taking cues from hérouxville

isn't unsupervised machine learning essentially trying to mimic evolution (or more precisely natural selection of some sorts)?

i know people raved about invictus. i was underwhelmed. sorry clint. maybe my expectations were too high having watched most of that world cup live and seen the final many times. beyond the expected hollywood clichés - i found it REALLY didn't do the rugby justice. i don't understand how movies can make american football look more exciting and rugby look less so. especially the football style interjections of scuffles. it also really didn't do lomu justice - maybe he wasn't the uncanny force he was in the rest of the matches...but he wasn't as lame as they make him. at least it makes me want to watch that final again 15 years later. i can verify if my claim about lomu is true. still - that world cup was an excellent one.

$37 and 3 demerit points for crossing a red light on a bixi (a couple of days ago). my only other "moving" violation (with demerit points as well) in 25 years of driving was for not wearing a seat belt in the BACK seat many years ago.
some day i will actually get a ticket while driving a car....
