Happy Canada Day!  Bonne fête du Canada! and... Bon déménagement to the Québécois too!  :laugh:

I was wondering if any Linux users have used LXDE as their desktop environment for any period of time?  If so, any feelings about it either way?

A very dear friend of mine is currently going through the agony and chaos of losing someone very dear to her.  Please keep her and all those affected in your thoughts.

As this school term comes to an end, I'm entering the twilight of my current batch of studies.  So, that means over the next 12 months or so, I will (while slowly wrapping up the end of this degree) be trying to hash out a research proposal for entrance into graduate school.  To those of you...

Over a year old or so and not overly in depth, but thought some might find this interesting: http://www.ship-of-fools.com/mystery/2008/1573.html

Yesterday, in Canada, we commemorated the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.  It takes place on the anniversary of the shooting of fourteen women at the École Polytechnique in Montreal, Quebec.  Please keep in mind those were lost on that day, those who were...

Though the paper openly admits it is preliminary at best, and it is more meant to stimulate questions and discussion then provide definite answers, it has fascinating implications for the future of humanity.  Not only does it begin to open up the possibility of interstellar travel, but it...

In case anyone is interested, from October 15th to the 25th, the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics has been (will be) hosting the "Quantum 2 Cosmos" festival.  Its main purpose has been to open the doors to the Institute and try and bring ideas, advances, questions and various other...

In a number of months I will be heading to Africa to help with various programmes that provide Universities with second-hand computers, and also assisting in determining how certain technology degrees and diplomas should "translate" over here.  Needless to say, I will need to get a whole bunch...

Please pray for the repose of the soul of Professor Marvin Mandelbaum, a local computer science Professor.

The picture is pretty large, so I will just include a link:  http://www.esa.int/images/FIRST_LIGHT_SURVEY.jpg Source:  ESA

Ballmer has said that Linux forced Microsoft to be innovative and provided them with a drive to succeed, but he also bashed much of the open source license (a "cancer") and business model.  Annual fillings with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Microsoft listed Red Hat and Canonical as...

This is absolutely fascinating technology that has the potential to revolutionise a variety of fields (and decrease risks taken by humans) if the beta moves past testing (a task many have failed in the past), but I couldn't help but laugh at "'We completely understand the public’s concern about...

Foolishly, I decided to take a condensed, accelerated course this summer.  The workload and pace the course moved at has been absolutely unreal.  :P  Thankfully I have been able to maintain a decent mark during the term, but the exam is worth 50% and can easily make or break my mark.  Please...

A friend of mine in Computational Biology forwarded this to me as an interesting read.  The lead author is a member of McMaster University's Origins Institute which focuses on astrobiology and nuclear astrophysics. Enjoy! Article (PDF)

In a painfully cliche bought of teenage rebellion, he has decided to run away from home.  Please pray that he remains safe and returns. Also, my father has a heart condition, and this added stress is the last thing he needs.
