abeNd-orgwhy did you have to use VNC to get to a windows server anyways?Oct 21 18:32
*qu1j0t3 uses rdesktopOct 21 18:47
*MinceR used to use bothOct 21 18:48
MinceR(RDP lets the physical console remain locked while one uses it remotely while VNC handles antialiased fonts and such correctly)Oct 21 18:49
MinceR(well, as much as windows manages to handle antialiased font rendering at all, that is)Oct 21 18:49

qu1j0t3schestowitz: maybe it's not about "the economy"?Oct 21 20:48
qu1j0t3schestowitz: ...!Oct 21 20:48
qu1j0t3schestowitz: also, on that score, as a polluter and despoiler, Canada's economy hasn't taken a huge hitOct 21 20:48
schestowitz:-)Oct 21 20:51
qu1j0t3schestowitz: there's a particularly egregious - in fact, stunningly dishonest - misinformation campaign on bus shelters in Toronto nowOct 21 20:51
qu1j0t3schestowitz: re tar sandsOct 21 20:52
qu1j0t3schestowitz: meanwhile, many organisations are asking Canada to fix what is clearly an environmental catastropheOct 21 20:52
schestowitzwhat about China?Oct 21 20:56
schestowitzA lot of pollution comes from the producing nationsOct 21 20:56
schestowitzBTW, based on Wikipedia, in Canada  Research Fellow is just one level below Lecturer or something like that. People who get promoted to Research Fellow are often in their late 30s, so I'm happy... becoming Research Fellow in my 20s, just months before my 30th :-)Oct 21 20:58
qu1j0t3schestowitz: China is a catastrophe we can't even imagine.Oct 21 20:59
