I also think it's currently in a state of flux during, what has turned out to be, an unusually long generational transition.

Oh, another Texan over there. ;P

I don't have any plan to go to Texas soon (Well, getting to the State where an ex-friend moved, no need to be super-happy about that, you see.), but knowing the weather there (Crap! You guys got like 20 degrees recently, I saw that! Right now, we're at like -16 degrees celcius!), it's freakin' hot. XD

Don't know about the food as well; the only american city I went was New York, this was awesome. If there was only 1 thing I would have disliked, this would have been the food. Junk food and McDonalds everywhere. XP

Sure, Texas does have an high criminality rate (Okay, I'll say something as well, don't take it wrong: obesity?), also. Well, I read all those things, so you guys are the best to tell me more about those.

What I like the most about Quebec...
Climate? Pretty various, in winther, can reach up to -25, and in summer, perhaps 28 degrees is the max. Like that. I should say that we are generally safe about the naturals distasters, as well.

What I dislike? Politics, justice system suck, and I should say.. Our official language is French, and the English language is getting more popular there, unfortunately for us. People are coming here, and often don't even know how to speak the official language. Annoying, don't want to loose my language, y'know.

If you ever change your mind about going to Texas you could also try Louisiana next door. I bet you could find some food you like and would able to speak some French.

If you come to Texas, you need to get BBQ. Most other states use pork for BBQ. Texas is cattle country, we use steak. We make the best BBQ in the nation.

If you're in Texas, its worth driving out to Austin and going to The Salt Lick. It's the best BBQ place on earth - you get all you can eat ribs, brisket, sausage, and full sides, plus you get a to-go box.

Here's a video on it:

Everybody cooks with steak in their BBQ here, too. There's just one question I have to ask, what is this "chuck" beef I keep reading about in American burger recipes?

Thanks. I asked everybody in my area what chuck steak was, and nobody knew. Did some more reading, and it turns out that we do have chuck steak here, except it's called "Blade Steak" up here.

Megavideo is dead!

Better not putting their finger on 4Shared, Mediafire.. Oh, and DCisozone. XD

Of course it is, it's the sister site of Megaupload. EDIT: In SOPA/PIPA news, both bills have had their voting date (originally this Tuesday) postponed. When, unknown.

Well if megaupload gets shut down they why would those sites not be next ? Eventually the only thing left will be torrents.

You keep those bastards away from my torrent!

What the fuck is happening in this country...

Here's an article on the MU shutdown, along with the federal govt seizing (unconstitutionally, I might add) several of the group's founder's vehicles:

I'm a little rusty on federal government rules and regs, but I thought the FBI was meant to watch things here. Why are they shutting down groups overseas?

This bill caused the highest grouping of anonymous ever. They took down a ton of websites. We're talking over 5000 people in chatrooms all DDOSing stuff, not to mention people that might have joined and weren't in the chat room. To make matters worse, russian hackers got into it too. You don't mess with the internet.

I hope anonymous considers collateral damage in their little crusade. Peasant revolts don't tend to go well for those of us just trying to get by.

Bullshit posturing... The US govt. wants everyone to know that no one is safe from their reach, even if it's temporary.
