    a pair of box cutters is a potential terrorist tool.

    a piece of paper and a pen are potential terrorst tools.

    I am excited for it – but I wish they would certify plug-ins a bit faster as they go along.

    Firefox 3 Beta 3 Brings a New Browsing Interface

    Maybe it’s the “resource hog” property of Firefox that has kept me away: my system seems alllergic to FF, as the whole thing overheats and shuts down within seconds of the program being accessed.

    Perhaps I should try Beta 3, and see what happens.

    Story | Victoria Times Colonist | Canadians urged to post health-care violations to new website

    Given all the press given to various forms of essentially-universal health care that Democratic candidates for the U.S. presidency currently propose, I thought this was very topical. In Canada there are constant threats to our version of universal care/Medicare at all levels – from encroaching privatization from U.S. owned clinics (which, thanks to NAFTA, we can’t remove despite their violation of the Canada Health Act) to extra payments for simple medical equiptment.

    This particular story has to do with efforts to deal with that smaller issue, of course. It’s easier to deal with, though, being strictly illegal. Blocking private care alternatives is a slightly more thorny human rights issue.
