As far as I know, the only uranium mines near Bancroft are abandoned. If you want to find out more it may be worth calling the town of Bancroft and seeing if they could point you in the right direction to find out some history with that company, or uranium mining in general in the area.

Depending on where you are, Toronto and Buffalo are not going to both come in very well on the same antenna. I use a signal combiner along with different high gain directional antennas with great results. It's a night and day difference from the previous flat array antenna I had.

I've gone to torrents since most news services have had the DCMA takedown issues that make things not so available. A few things to consider if you want to do all of your movies and TV from torrents or newsgroups: - Use a provider OTHER than the top tier providers. (Bell, Rogers, Telus...

I'm not sure I'd make the jump from Dell to Mac based on support. Dell tends to target the budget based shopper. Lenovo may be more in line with Dell in that regard. Mac gives fewer hardware options (so less cause for things to not be compatible) and a Unix based operating system that is less...

It's better to just ignore the extension than to not see it. That way you don't end up clicking on something without knowing what it is. Many people end up with viruses and malware clicking on something they THOUGHT was a document or picture. If you see it's .doc rather than .bat, .exe or...

You may want to consider validating if you really were hacked. It is possible to send almost any caller ID you want on a call if you want. I do work with IT security (including phones) and can give you details not only of how you may be "fake" hacked, but how you can make sure you are secure...

How many users in how many locations? Your management requirements can often drive your choice.

Download Linux that can boot from a USB stick. USB is quite fast so it will tell you if it's just your hard drive or not. Unetbootin.sourceforge.net will do everything for you. Just put in a USB key and let it download and set it up. Once you have it boot from USB and see if its fast or not...

Unless you design, manufacture or own the company that is making the phone how can you view it like this? It's a phone. Unless you're three. Then your dad probably can beat up my dad.

Same happens for me on the iPhone forum app.

Of course the other solution is to jut stop wanting crap. If you give up material things you can give up working. There was a show on the bbc a while ago about a guy that decided to live without touching money for a year. At the end of it he came to the conclusion it was the happiest time is his...

If you're just trying to get over a bit of a hump in the learning curve but otherwise don't have issues I'd recommend Learning Tree. They have a lot of content in a very short period of time. They tend to be best bang for the buck if you're trying to learn something quickly rather than...

I'm in the cautious first experience stage. I understand the apprehension for who ever I contact if I come off too nervous too. It's a fine line between someone that seems uneasy and someone that seems like they are more than a little off. I am respectful by nature but I'm sure I'm starting to...

80% have no symptoms. 20% do, and a bit under .5% are severe enough to cause permanent effects. That's high enough odds you can't fault people for taking precautions.

You know this service already exists all over the place. Many small catering businesses will prepare 3-4 days of ready made meals and deliver twice a week without issue. It's better than restaurants all the time and very affordable. I'd be curious how you make something like this SP specific...
