It’s terrible what has become with this league. I have not been to a game in a few years. I am one of those who lives just north of the city and it is quite a nightmare to get there. I remember when I was a kid, my parents would go to games with friends a few times a year, and it was an absolute event to attend. There would constantly be 40,000 fans out there. They would go to dinner first and then the game. When I was in high school, groups of us would always head to the games using the $2,00 Dominon Tickets. When there was a Grey Cup in the city it was another major event. Especially the Grey Cup parade which drew thousands of people. I know what killed football in this city. They tried to make the game bigger than it was and moved to the Skydome. HUGE mistake. They should have stayed at Exhibition Stadium a bit more and move to a smaller venue. Either by revamping Varsity Stadium and gearing towards 20 thousand or so die hard fans much like Montreal is doing with McGill stadium. If they wanted a new stadium, it should have been built in the northern part of the city like DOWNSVIEW, York university or somewhere else. I think the changes they are going to make are going to ruin the league. Look, Toronto is a unique city from the rest of the country. They are a huge market that goes big or nothing. There is no in between. Toronto wants and will support an NFL team because of the glitz glamour and the size of the game. Unfortunately the CFL is a bush league in this city and I don’t see it changing. They say the CFL will die without Toronto in it. No it won’t because if the league puts a team in the East somewhere (probably Halifax) and the league will survive. It’s a shame as the CFL is a better game. Most of what they will change is what makes the league unique. It’s to bad. We have had a lot of great teams and players up here, but that was in the past. I don’t see a future.</p> <p>Joe</p> WOW, very well said. It’s terrible what has become with this league. I have not been to a game in a few years.

Everything about the operating system is annoying at one time or another, I use it because its free, keeps malware out of my system, and its customizable, and I can get it not directly vendored by a corporation (though tons of them are involved in it).

Writing in a undocumented programming language to switch you’re default sound card in /etc/asound.conf is beyond screwy.

Crawling across the internet to put together pieces of undocumented behaviors to get your keyboard layout working on the grub © prompt isn’t fun, though after 3-4 years I’ve finally found the documentation I was looking for posted on a couple forums.

Installing you’re boot loader by configuring a file called boot.conf that supercedes /etc/default/grub because someone had to add another layer or wheel on top of the problem is another annoyance.

And my pet peeve is Linux’s permission system interacting with mounted file systems, I might as well just su all the time because thats where I’m going, I shutter to think of what using this system would be like if you wheren’t the administrator.

I once heard someone say that a operating system that continually requires you to enter a root or administrator mode to circumvent authority to get every task done cannot be secure and its completely true.

I’m waiting for something to curb stomp, Mac, Windows, AND Linux, and hopefully its free software.

Maybe someday someone will rip the proprietary guts out of Android (and actually replace them rather then just ripping them out like Replicant) and make a general purpose operating system for PC, Tablet, or Phone out of it using the Linux kernel but trashing most of the userland.
