    [News] Largest Airplane Disaster in History yesterday... Almost

    Air Canada and San Francisco Airport apparently just don't like each other: Again? FAA investigates another Air Canada landing mix-up at SFO This article is great IMO because it made the same connection I did to 3 months ago, which was the OP of this thread. I'd laugh if AC got banned from...

    [Bug] Search not working

    The text along the top of the search SHOWS you that "air" was discarded, and you get LOTS of "canada" threads. See image: So... ya. And yes, I'm trying to search for a previous post regarding said airline, but regardless, I put the quotes in the box, and this is the (top of the) results...

    [Bug] Search not working

    I'm trying to search for "Air Canada" and it seems to be ignoring the quotes and saying "air" is too short... well ya, but I want to search for the ENTIRE PHRASE. Thoughts?

    Yes that is also problematic. The difference there though is that both Orthodox Jews and most of the Christians doing those things are NOT proselytizing religions. Thus they don't really "spread" much. Inside their insular communities, it's still bad, but they aren't trying to convince people...

    I'm open to being convinced on this type of grounds that the current legislation is a bad idea. I won't be convinced that it's actually her choice to go about and wear such a garment, and it's reflecting the growth of a misogynistic ideology that we seem to choose to be importing... for some...

    And I'm pretty sure most of them won't seek help in the first place: 8 days in prison for beating wife with hockey stick My post above quoting Muslim women pointing out the niqab and burka for what they are - tools of oppression - (and the article itself was written by a Muslim man) means that...

    TIL: Today I Learned

    Agreed, but it was the sub-second accuracy per 1000s of years that Patrick was claiming was important that I had issue with. As I said originally, very few things need that, and not in a wristwatch. Hell, if you lost a second every year, it would still take around 300 years for such a watch to...

    Uh huh. Read this: Two Quebec Muslim women accuse Kathleen Wynne of burka betrayal @ThatNickGuy in particular, he asked her this question Emphasis mine.

    I'm guessing part of the handshake rejects you if your delta is off by too much? But even then, it won't reject over a 1-second delta (at least no standard TLS I've ever heard of) given that round-trip times over 1000ms (1s) are easily demonstrable.

    TIL: Today I Learned

    I think it (likely) has more to do with marketing than actual utility. Something could lose a second a year, but if your competitor advertises that they only lose a second every TEN years (or 100, 1000, etc) then it's a marketing advantage, even if for utility purposes it's useless. Note...

    [Food] Peanut Allergy Cured in 80% of Kids in Trial

    Update/related to this: New Montreal clinic aims to desensitize children to food allergies I'm glad this general idea/approach is getting more attention. Let's hope it pans out for many forms/types of allergies, but anything is a win.

    I was so sure this was going to be a deliberately minimized headline, but it wasn't: CN train derails in Alberta, spills small amount of crude. What I mean is that so often reporting is done with litres or gallons if it's a pipeline, but barrels if it's trains or something else that isn't...

    @Terrik, I'm glad to hear your review. I'll be sure to put the game on my Steam wishlist for a sale later with all the DLC that will assuredly come out over time! I really enjoyed the first game, and the Nemesis system in such too, and more than once ended up with a situation of "hmm... nobody...

    [Question] Got a new box (finally) - Wat do?

    From the article: Showing that reallocations are necessary for some of the drive (But that it's still usable) isn't the same thing as "unrecoverable errors" IMO, but that's getting into semantics here. The article points out how most users only write a terabyte or two a YEAR to a drive, and...
