i never saw this french infitada so to speak as something rooted in discrimination or racism. i didn’t see it as anything other than poor people rioting. to me it was just a coincidence that the poor people in this case were immigrants. really i was hoping for a sequel to la heine.

this comment about ram was pretty funny, i laughed out loud in the computer lab at school.

“Finally, ramanan is just a troll. He is a canadian who hates america for who knows what reason, who will say anything to try and make america look bad. If he were american he would run around calling canadians a bunch of godless, communist hockey fanatics.”

Also, some of my comments are awesome: “Lisa, from what I’ve learned from reading this thread, that definition is out of date. An immigrant is someone who comes to a country to subvert it from the inside, as part of a grand plot to ruin the world for everyone.”

For the record, I was totally right.

that’s fucking brilliant. i would add that the pulled pork have a mustard-vinegar based sauce and doesn’t have some bullshit fake sweet bbq sauce.

Comment on make your shoulda tests faster with fast_context by anton

anton — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 21:27:28 +0000

Unless I’m misreading something here, I wouldn’t do this if your tests actually expect to be run in isolation. This effectively break’s shoulda’s specification, so the next guy who comes along and expects his setup method to be run before every test is gonna have a real painful time figuring out what’s wrong.

Telus and Bell both are rolling out GSM networks soon, and Globeablive launches soon, so you never know what might happen in the coming years.

Comment on ken burns on national parks by woolslain

woolslain — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 22:56:38 +0000

wowzers, that political narrative is rich. I fail to see how the creation of National Parks have anything to do with democracy. Is Kenny B equating socialism with democracy? I see no problem with that, but it ain’t ‘the essence’ of American democracy.
Also, it should be noted that native cultures effectively rendered the entire continent a ‘national park’. It was only the western european penchant for property rights that made it necessary to save these parts of nature from monarchs and aristocrats.

sincerely,

john ralston saul

i’m stone aged, but how does one view these videos in canada? there’s gotta be a way that doesn’t involve me googling “viewing american videos in canada” and then i get a virus after clicking on the first hit.

sincerely,

your dad
