@.357 aka Subway Van Driver: Are Big Rock and Alexander Keith's that popular down there? They already own Molson (and I guess some Belgians own Labatt), and quite frankly, they're welcome to keep it. Blech.

@.357 aka Subway Van Driver: Only for Ontarians. When the car is sold in the west it comes with a picture of Trudeau's raised middle finger.

@philibuster: Apparently the reason they changed it is because lacrosse is also slang for masturbation in Quebec.

@krom: The built-in Drive Manager doesn't let you do a lot of the functionality that full-fledged partition management software will, but I don't see a need for this with GPartEd around. If other people like it, great, but GPartEd has been great for me and has been able to handle all my partition management needs.

@shazmuscle: The appearance is a matter of opinion. I personally liked the Toyota's styling more (the first-generation Vibes remind me of the Aztec. Ugh.) But I guess if you're into the Pontiac look, then the Vibe wins out. That said, the Vibe was the better deal. Basically the same car, but at a better price. And the…

@Michael J Backus: A friend of mine once pointed out to me that cop cars usually have cloth front seats and leather (or fake leather) rear ones. The cloth front seats keep you from sliding around too much when you're driving fast and taking corners, but the rear ones are supposed to be easy to spray down for when you…

@rlj676-Carbon Footprint Size - Clownshoe: Yeah, ghetto or not, this whole thing reminded me of the "good old days" articles that run in Hot Rod all the time. There's more of that old-school, make it go faster no matter what craziness in this car than in any of the chopped-top Fords at the local meets, even if their…

@FreeChaos: For what it's worth, there are alternatives to the explorer shell in Windows, but my experience with them has never been good. Explorer has such deep hooks everywhere in the system that replacements always seem to wind up incredibly buggy and crashy for me. It's like they're trying to force modularity on a…

@SamburgerHandwich: I can't speak for midi controllers specifically because I don't have one, but generally, USB gear has better Linux support than Firewire does. Your best bet is to google your preferred gear with "Linux" or "Alsa" in the search string. Official support from most companies is usually non-existent,…

@Papercutninja: To be fair, a lot of those suburbanites work downtown in those cities, which blows my mind. I live a 20 minute walk from work, and that's if I really fuck around. I think it's actually more ridiculous to see guys with full-size trucks and SUVs drive from the suburbs into downtown and then piss around…

@Lord Pferdestärke the 357th: California? I'm in Canada, so there's snow half the year. So, I can only use my bike in the summer.

@Alfisted: All these bad puns are leaving me thunderstruck.

@cabjf: I agree with this. In the movie, he's tolerable, but any other time, I want a bus full of elephants to fall out of a plane onto him. And I don't care who you are, that's funny.

@Code name: Lavinicus Stronghold: They're my #2 team. I mainly root for Montreal, which means I'm also very happy when the Leafs do poorly. The Moose is one of my all time favourite players, though.

@Code name: Lavinicus Stronghold: Never the Flames because I'm from Edmonton, so I learned my ABC's (Anybody But Calgary). That goes for football, too. (Stampeders suck!)

@Code name: Lavinicus Stronghold: The Sharks haven't won a Cup, but my money's on either them or the Capitals to do it this year. I'd love for the Habs to bring it home, and I'd settle for the Canucks (but never the Flames), but realistically, it's probably not going to happen.

@Code name: Lavinicus Stronghold: That would be a fair bet, but I'm not against American cities with NHL teams. It just bugs the hell out of me when I watch a hockey game from the South where the attendance is worse than our local WHL team's, but the league keeps pushing more teams into those areas to continue to…

@Code name: Lavinicus Stronghold: The Hurricanes and the Lightning both won the cup, too, but that doesn't mean I have to give them any respect for it. I'm sure the five Carolinians that attended Game 7 that year were pretty excited, though.

@Lord Pferdestärke the 357th: Do it. It's easier to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

@Wankelin' For A Rotary: The Mighty Ducks were terrible, the show, the movies, and the hockey team. That Winnipeg, Hartford, and Quebec City lost their hockey teams and Anaheim got one because Disney made some bad movies about hockey exemplifies exactly what's been wrong with the NHL since the early 90's.
