I edited my post to correct misleading info.

I didn't read the entire thread, but people say that a car wastes gas when it is idling. That's why municipalities tell us to turn off our cars when idling for more than a minute. Well, how about these ideas... 1. Reduce the number of traffic lights instead of putting up more. 2. Implement...

Quebec angry over lack of French at Games - Â*2010 Vancouver Olympics article - Sports - MSN CA here's a quote from the article: "I don't accept being a second-class citizen" Coderre told a talk show on LCN network. As far as I'm concerned, at the venues I've been to so far, French has always...

Wow, the more I think about this the more I'm getting scared. I just went through a chain of events this past week which led me to pretty much dedicate the entire day googling about various topics regarding huge multi-national companies and their influence over politics, policies, and consumers...

I've never given much thought to vaccines because I usually don't bother with them. Now that I have kids and one of them is attending kindergarten, I've been reading up on these stories of how bad these vaccines are. My daughter, after the first week of school, was already hit with the seasonal...

Not sure if this was posted before but I just read on another forum that Bell Mobility is offering the HTC Touch for $399 but the more important thing is that they are offering unlimited data for $7. I'm not sure but I think the $7 unlimited data applies to all the phones... not just the Touch...

Fellow CC Citizens, I just read an article at Ars comparing the effectiveness of various AV packages at detecting various forms of new malware and viruses. There results are not in favor of AVG... in fact, it came last in the list with only 8 percent detection rate and alot of false positives...

Anybody got this phone? If so, how do you like it?

I'm on Rogers Wireless. I just tried to send myself 3 emails to my phone using <mycellnumber>@pcs.rogers.com. None of the emails made it to my phone. I was expecting an alert telling me that an email had arrived and I needed to respond with REPLY to get the actual message. But nothing. Just...

Obviously not. I recently went to the Lordco at Clarke Rd. in my area and wanted to get an oil filter for my SUV. After speaking with the person behind the counter, he went off into the aisles and returned with a Fram oil filter. He laid it on the counter and told me to pay at the cashier...

hmmm... where to begin. Let me just say that I have a negative view of Midas. Anyone seen those Midas commercials with the lie detectors? Everytime I see those ads it really gets me fired up. I not saying that the people working at Midas brake centres are liars, in fact, they are a nice group...

What's up with the drivers in the Lower Mainland? I've been driving for about 13 years now... no accidents but a few speeding tickets and had my car vandalized a couple of times :-( I haven't had much to complain about until about the last year or so. Here's my gripe. Sorry for the long post...
