Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 This driver has the right attitude. Driving
a private vehicle is serious business. Were as many people killed each year in any
public form of transportation like the airlines it would be banned, year week after
week the carnage continues. |

 The Hypocrisy of the
Free Market: Running public policies as private
businesses, the war in Iraq and health care in Canada- Wednesday
June 9, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : This
story makes the point that perhaps what is at the root of the seemingly endless trouble
we see occurring is the belief by leaders and the acceptance by the public that if
all things were run like businesses all would be well.

 Running
a personal server- Wednesday
June 9, 2004
by : John Smith
Personal servering is built into the operating system of Macintosh computers but
with a Windows machine you need to obtain the right software and assemble your server.
However, as John explains this is really worthwhile as it lets you move files to
and from your computer over the internet without resorting to e-mail. This story
has the links to get you started.

June 8, 2004
by : Michael Moore
Flint Michigan

Washington :
It was a turning point in history with both Britain and American lead by reactionary

was the enemy of ideas of freedom and democracy.
