I wonder if they used any of those highly priced hammers they bought a while back.

We recently held another event for the Kids of Meadow Lake:

The kids also did a great job at painting rocks which will be on display under the Totem Poles.

Thanks.   ;D

Appears real-time coverage in Great Britain is much sparser than here in the USA, but it is there.  (Missing FAA data.)  Also possible to view in-progress flights across the Atlantic as well.

                                                                  OR

The end of support means the end of updates--even security updates. When an exploit is found after that date,
too bad; it will not get patched. Gradually, Windows XP will become less and less secure. More information here

Many months ago I switched my XP machine to Ubuntu. With what I'm seeing with Linux Mint, Ubuntu may not be installed on my machine much longer.

Not the best of news for the third world
and those that cannot afford to upgrade for whatever reason.

Maybe someone will come up with an additional non-official security pack for XP or a version II,
just as we experienced with Win98.
Turkish coders are known to come up with these solutions.

Cybersecurity is more of an attitude than anything else. Avast Evangelists.

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!

That could very well happen. I know I will never switch to any form of Linux on my XP laptop. I tried Ubuntu and just didn't like the UI or the provided browser and email programs. Mint has the same bundled programs, and a better UI, but I couldn't get my wireless card to work after 6 hours of trying and doing the same things I did in Ubuntu plus a lot more. Since I have found that Win8 32 bit runs very well on that machine, if I decide to dump XP, that is the direction I will go. I found a video driver modding utility that lets you use the newest AMD drivers on the old legacy cards so that problem with Win 8 is solved. I could also have it in a dual boot setup and use XP only for legacy games that do not connect to the web and do all the online activities in Win8. (with Classic Shell installed of course  ;))

Linux is free and constantly updated which is why that's listed as an alternative. :)
