QuoteCanada has just closed a deal to purchase half of the Hawaiian Islands.
The deal is touted as a groundbreaking new way for the US to generate money in order to bounce back from the tough economic times it has seen in the past couple years.

QuoteThe Mexican government announced a travel advisory against Canada today.
Mexico cites the alarming amount of beaver attacks happening across the country as the reason for issuing the advisory. Mexican authorities claim that tourists are in danger of being bitten, slapped or used as part of a beaver damn.
There have been no fatalities reported, but it seems as though Mexico doesn't want to take any chances.
"This is a precautionary measure designed to prevent injury" said an official who wishes to remain anonymous.
"Beaver attack? I haven't seen a beaver in 20-something years" commented North Bay resident Andy Morster. "Used to be that you'd wake up one morning and BAM, all your trees are gone. Now, ever since they left their jobs at Bell, they've been pretty low-key."

QuoteEarly last month the mayor of Topeka, Kansas stunned the world by announcing that his city was changing its name to Google. We?ve been wondering ever since how best to honor that moving gesture. Today we are pleased to announce that as of 1AM (Central Daylight Time) April 1st, Google has officially changed our name to Topeka.

Cool Stuff, makes me miss the old BBS days... and hey BTW if you click CTRL or ALT key it shows up at the bottom, what's a good shortcut key combo to try out Mr. Linux?
CTRL+C maybe? Other than that, I dunno. I wouldn't risk something like CTRL+ALT+DELETE. But you might try ALT+SYSRQ (PRNTSCR)+K or O or B

OnLive? <click, click> What the?! Yeah, that'll work well with UBB! Even though the Internet's infrastructure is getting better, it still behooves us as developers to push as little data through the pipe as possible. If only to increase the possible consumer base, as consumers with low bandwidth can't use apps that push a lot of data through the pipe.
