My condolences to you and your family. It's good to see that your father had such a loving family and such great friends. It seems that he lived a good life and was a loving man. I hope you and yours are doing relatively well. Take care, and live so he would have been proud. Best wishes, and...

Hey all, I was just wondering if anyone had a copy of this Opera. I just need this for a German Project, however, any CDs i've found online cost in some cases more han 100 USD, and those that dont, will take about 2 weeks to ship only. I need it for the end of this week/beginning of next week...

Thanks for the replies, I actually managed to get it to work Python is similar to Java, well, rather, the newest 'release' (???) of java is similar to python, so you wouldnt have a problem picking it up, and yea, it was similar to type casting in other languages. I was just unsure how to go...

hey, I know there's at least a few software developers here, so I thought i'd ask. How can you type cast in Python? mainly, casting a string to a float. and how would you deal with any fractionals? i.e. given a = '5.5' just doing int(a) doesn't exactly work well Thanks!

The problem is that waste is acidic, and hence can eat away at finish. Our toyota's paintjobs have been affected by neglected bird poop unfortunately. One car body specialist advised us to do the following: Take a towel or papertowel. Soak it in some hot water, and place it on the birdpoop...

Any avid penny-arcade readers on this site surely know about this organization, and please don't think I have anything to do with it. I'm in no way associated with the site, or organization. I just wanted to mention to everyone to at least check it out. A lot of the users here have children...

With best buy it does, as im sure it does with Apple, and most other manufacturers. At least here in canada. Best buys and Futureshops have "open Item" stickers on'em and a discounted price. Best Buys in canada dont do restocking fees, and im surprised to hear that its otherwise in the States...

I found out about them about 2 days ago (saturday) and got a copy of one of their albums um...De-Loused In The Comatorium, and loving it. Then decided that the band name is familiar, and looked up here...and Lo and behold... Appreciated :P

pne, I'm going into Software Engineering (It doesn't count I know), but even my Uni's co-op placements/internships make an average of 35k before even a b.sc. (Canadian Uni) I dont know what Uni you go to, or what kind of stat's you're looking at, but I really dont know many jobs that start at...

Which canadian stores carry this player (iaudio)? where are ya located? and what are the prices like?

U of Toronto, Comp Sci...er...for now...I think.

For some reason though, I get the image that even though there are those that wear SR60s and SR80s, it seems to me like they dont even know what they have. It's as if they walked into Bay-Bloor radio and just picked up the cheapest headphone (SR-60), just so that if anyone asks, they can still...

Once winter comes, you might also see me walking around with my Beyer DT 250's those keep ears warm. And yeah, you'll see a few grados, and even a few IEM's on campus. but...mainly iBuds *blergh*

I was surprised to see Uni of Western Ontario, and York University up there, but not Queen's and U of Toronto's biz schools. strange... seems a little biased in some ways, cause the 4 above mentioned schools are the top in Canada, and are always in the top 4 Canadian biz schools. I could be...

AGH! With school having just started, and work, I completely forgot! I havent even been logged in to see any posts about the meet! Philodox, I appologize for not getting back to you, was too swamped! Dang, missed a meet I really wanted to audition some stuff.... grrr... next time I guess.
