No shit indeed, who said people should pack up and move to the North? My point was that the country isn't geographically understood by it's citizens. And trust me, as a cartographer/GIS analyst, I don't need to a lesson on the uninhabited areas on Earth.

You worked up there?! I worked on the Nanisivik decomissioning for about a year with a firm I consult to. I only flew in/flew out of Nanisivik on my way South (Polaris is a bit further Northwest) to Ottawa. Nanisivik is nice, terrain is a little more rugged than Polaris (plus, as far as I know, polar bears a rare occurance in Nanisivik). What'd you do there?

I flew from Vancouver to Edmonton, then to Yellow Knife, then to Cambridge Bay, then to Resolute Bay, then to the Polaris Mine (northern most in the world(now decomissioned)). Then coming out of there, I flew from Polaris, to Resolute, to Nanisivik, to Iqaluit, to Ottawa, then back to Vancouver. That was a lot of flying. In total, I made the entire trip twice, and spent 3 months working on Little Cornwallis Island at the Polaris mine during the decomissioning. The overwhelming vastness of the north is entirely indescribable. That trip would take 2 days of flying, and outside of the main cities, there literally is nothing. There is so much space in Canada... yet the poulation is so densly located around the US/Canada border. The majority of people (citizens), who are responsible for this countries future, have no concept of the size and grandeur of this incredible land. It really saddens me that so many will _never_ see the north, never really comprehend what we've got in our hands. It's other-worldly up there, and I suppose the best I can do is try to expose my family and children to it.

Think it's a english "W" or a "V" sound? (considering the name is chinese). If I ventured in the slipstream; Between the via-ducts of your dreams.......could you find me?

Hi everyone, can you give me a hand with this? I've got a name I can't pronouce: Yijin Wen. Surely someone here has a friend, or knows a guy who knows a guy who knows how to pronounce the name. I really need some help with this, thanks! Andrew

I've done a fair bit of research, in preperation of a purchase, and I'd suggest you look at the diet, it sounds like a deficiency of some sort. I know you said you feed a good food, but I'd take a read over http://www.skinhorse.net/gliders/diet.html, and pay attention to the calcium part.

Wow, those numbers are interesting, Kuwait/Quatar/UAE really stepped up there... I mean, yes, they have a lot of money, but that much?

6 years vegan, and I've never seen that. I have seen some other vegan sites like NSFWhttp://www.vegporn.com and NSFWhttps://vegsexshop.com but not that one. These made me laugh though. And regarding the leather fetish, it's not mine personally, but I suspect it doesn't have much to do with actual leather so much as the texture/qualities of leather, and that's why a substitute would do just fine.

Well, I don't know if I'd shrug it off. http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=s109-517 If I ventured in the slipstream; Between the via-ducts of your dreams.......could you find me?

RFID is going to be in a lot more places than just your license plate. There are plans to intergrate them into drivers licenses as well ("Scanners" mounted in underpasses could scan the occupants of cars) The developers of RFID envision a product-net, where everything is tracked and accounted for in some form. It has created quite a stir in my industry (GIS) from ethics perspectives weighed against our love for new technology. Gillette has RFID in some Mach 3 razor packaging. Imagine for a second the implications of that. You purchase an item the scanner record the RFID and enters it into a consumer database as having been purchased by Mr. John Doe. Sometime later, you dispose of your product. In the evening, some unlucky fellow is going through your garbage, finds a used razor and gets some extra use out of it before tossing in a ditch. Later, your municpality is picking up litter, finds your razor, scans and sends you a fine. Or, it doesn't wind up in a ditch, but stays instead in your garbage with a mix of other stuff. A curious person drives by with a handheld scanner and learns a lot about your buying habits before the garbage men come around. He collects information for your entire street in a single pass, geocoding the each scan location with your address for future direct advertising, etc. If I ventured in the slipstream; Between the via-ducts of your dreams.......could you find me?

Does anyone out there know of a good counter for a website? Preferably not one that requires another company to be involved. Our tech guy wants to use www.statcounter.com, but I'd rather have one that's managed entirely inhouse. Possible? I know you guys are smart, help a brotha out!

HAHA! And now she's my girlfriend! Hahaha I haven't posted on here for a long time, but I was remembering this for some reason thought I'd share the update. I cannot remember being so happy. Viking how did things turn out for you?? If I ventured in the slipstream; Between the via-ducts of your dreams.......could you find me?

Hi guys. I just checked my email this morning, and there was a note on there from "System Anti-Virus Administrator " saying "Attention: [email protected] A virus was found in an Email message you sent. This Email scanner intercepted it and stopped the entire message reaching its destination. The virus was reported to be: virus WORM_MIMAIL.R Please update your virus scanner or contact your IT support personnel as soon as possible as you may have a virus on your system.

I mean, how did it get control of a webaccount? Unless it's maybe on the dz.com server? I dunno, someone put my mind at ease, please.

I'll hug ya. If I ventured in the slipstream; Between the via-ducts of your dreams.......could you find me?

I used to get 'the belt' growing up. And I'm young too, unlike some of you, so this wasn't all that long ago, in the 80's. We were never beaten, slapped, etc but that belt was one effective tool. It didn't really hurt that much, it was more the intimidation of it. In anycase, a day spent in your room awaiting your fathers return from work is effective in getting a kid to think about what he did. I wouldn't do it to my kids, but I would spank them.
