mptrobitaille: Would you recommend getting a Colony CD and installing updates from there, or getting a Daily CD?12:16
mpt(I.e., are Colony CDs considerably more likely to work at all?)12:16
robitailleI believe the last Colony was #2 from early July; very old, with broken X in in.  I would go for the daily CD.12:18
mptok, thanks12:19

jsgotangcohah10:23
=== robitaille is a bit biased
jsgotangcoits no bigger than a cricket field10:24
robitaillepotential for oil is the magic word...and access to shipping lanes.   There is also a border dispute in the waters just off Victoria between us and the US.  But that one doesn't have either, so it's not a problem.10:26
jsgotangcoahh have you heard of the spratleys, over here its being disputed by china, taiwan, philippines, vietnam, malaysia10:27
jsgotangcoevery country took an island/s and all of em have military personnel10:27
jsgotangcooil companies don't want to do research on the islands because it'll spark a war for sure10:28
robitailleyeah...that's a bit scary with all these military powers.  Just sent an email to Claire.  I had to ask about my laptop before going to bed :)10:28
