Pardon Services Canada | Remove Your Record | Vancouver BC 0 Flares Twitter 0 Facebook 0 Google+ 0 StumbleUpon 0 LinkedIn 0 inShare0 Buffer 0 0 Flares × Drinking and driving: there are stupider things, but it’s a very short list. [Author Unknown] Whatever you call it, the charge is the same – it involves operation of a motor vehicle while intoxicated by alcohol or drugs. A DUI – Impaired Driving, Blowing over .08, Refusing to Blow, or Refusal to Take a Breathalyzer – is among the most common criminal records in Canada. No one would disagree that operating a vehicle while under the influence of any substance that limits your ability to think clearly, respond quickly, stay alert, and remain attentive is a dangerous activity. Myth No. 1: A person is legally allowed to drive with a blood alcohol level below .08. Truth: If you are stopped by police, you could be tested with an “approved roadside-screening device” (ASD), which tests for alcohol in your body, showing a “pass,” “warn,” or “fail.” Full details are certainly worth exploring.
ScreenFlow 2 Review | Video In early 2008, I reviewed Screen Flow 1.0.2 ( ), one of the first “screen movie studio” applications for the Mac. At the time, I found the program a solid first effort with some room for improvement. The recent release of Telestream’s ScreenFlow 2 addresses many of my earlier complaints, and offers some additional features that users who record screen movies will find useful. I tested ScreenFlow 2 on a variety of machines, including a 2.66GHz quad core Mac Pro running OS 10.5.8, a 2.6GHz MacBook Pro running 10.6.1, and even on my OS X-enabled Dell mini (running 10.5.8). On all three of these machines, performance was excellent. Users familiar with ScreenFlow 1.x will immediately feel comfortable in ScreenFlow 2.0—there are no dramatic interface changes. Of these new features, the ability to add transitions to your screen recordings is one of the most welcomed. Adding transitions manually is a simple two-step process.

Stixy: For Flexible Online Creation Collaboration and Sharing Todd Lambert » Free Software Some of my favorite software that is free You get what you pay for – although not always! I am what many would consider a power mac user. Not one that uses a Powermac, but one who uses Macs religiously and tends to know a lot about them. In all that time I have used thousands of different types of software. Today, I will be listing some of the Free Software that I have found and use and that in most cases beats out non-free software for just being best in the field. WhatSize The first application I am going to highlight is called “WhatSize” and it is one of my favorites. This application is nearly identical to the non-free software called Omni DiskSweeper except that the price is much better; Free! RSS Menu This is one that I use on a daily basis and I love it for its simplicity as well. Serverskine This is a newer application in my list but one that I am quickly finding hard to live without. Gawker There you have it, four applications that are free, yet immensly valuable.
Let’s guess each other’s Social Security Numbers, for fun True story: I didn’t even know my Social Security Number until my freshman year of college, when it was used as my dorm building’s PIN. Type in the PIN, and the little gate would open. It seemed a little odd at the time, yes, and today’s news that, with a little elbow grease, someone can guess a person’s Social Security Number quite easily, well, that doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence vis-à-vis “the system.” It’s like this. A team of researchers, out of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, have figured out a way to guess a person’s Social Security Number knowing only basic info: a date of birth, a home town, etc. The first five numbers of one’s SSN can be correctly guessed 44 percent of the time, per 160,000 people born between 1989 and 2003. In short, with a little bit of know-how, someone, if he were so inclined, could guess your social security number, provided he knew your date of birth and the location where you acquired your SSN.

Better Communication Results Gad! I’ve just deleted all my music files from my hard drive to save space and now all I have is them on my iPod – how can I get them back? This is the dilemma that faced me yesterday, as I realised that in order to send a copy of my own smashing music (that is, music to smash your head into a brick wall with) that I wrote in the 80s and 90s across to my man Jenkins I needed to rescue those toons from the depths of my iPod. Silly me – I thought that if the tunes were in iTunes they were safe. And to some extent they were, but it was due to my own computer configuration that I deleted a large block of music. You see, I stored digital copies of all my cds (I have quite a few) on a portable 300gb Iomega hard drive. So to save space I deleted the 27gb of music from my Iomega drive. But a quick trip around Google brought me to Music Rescue, a £10 piece of software that has saved the day. Lucky, lucky Jenkins… Powered by Zoundry Tagged as: tools
