I feel like I'm missing something. Don't we have a housing shortage, not merely an "owner-occupied" home shortage or a "rental" home shortage? Somebody please tell me what I'm missing.

If too many homes were owned by investors and rented out, why aren't rented homes more affordable? If you say, "greedy landlords," are you suggesting that the roughly 1.4 million landlords in Canada (source) are all effectively colluding? I find that highly implausible.

If we had sufficient housing supply for the demand in general, wouldn't that result in lower prices to both rent and own, depending on what's right for each individual?

$100/pop on eBay. At the time, Hotmail inboxes had a storage limit of 2 MB.

The imaged is cropped, but cropping doesn't remove the context of the image, and it isn't worth the risk of making women feel less welcome in tech, which is a big problem already.

If I may, why is it so important to you that the image continues to be used over other images, against the wishes of Lena and IEEE?

If you think this is about an exposed shoulder, you missed the point.

How did they expect to make money with a web browser? Were people expected to pay for it at some point?

I refuse to pay for pirated content out of principal. It's bad enough that I'm infringing copyright (and boy do I!) but commercialized piracy rubs me the wrong way. I even prefer Bittorrent over Usenet and FOSS media software over commercial software. Yarr!

I have a paralegal who can find a citation for that. $500/hr plus expenses.

Some artists in the punk scene are putting out cassettes.

Are you kidding? That's painful! But I guess this is even more of an arcade game than Forza Horizons.

Don't most Canadians receive a bigger rebate for the carbon tax than the tax ends up costing them?

Nice! I've always wanted to try coop but never have, despite playing SMB3 a lot.
