Comment Re:To be honest, (Score 1) 938

In BC, we run the graduated license system: (http://www.icbc.com/licensing/lic_getlic_undglp.asp)

Step 1: Learner's licence. Must drive with a licensed driver + max 1 other passenger. 0% tolerance on alcohol and no cell phone/mobile devices (hands free or other) use. Also a limit on driving hours (not early AM). Lasts minimum 12 months (http://www.icbc.com/driver-licensing/getting-licensed/graduated-licensing/learners-stage). Need to carry a "L" sign on your car to let other drivers know you are a new driver.

Step 2: Novice license. Drop the licensed driver supervisor and driving hour restriction. (http://www.icbc.com/driver-licensing/getting-licensed/graduated-licensing/novice-stage). Lasts 24 months (reduce by 6 months with driving courses). Need to carry a "N" on your car to let other drivers know you are a new driver.

Step 3: Take a test and you get your full license.

Not quite every 10 years, but a harder entrance.

Its not really a gift certificate. You aren't buying something at $1 in == $1 out. You're pre-buying a meal, product or package at x% less than the marked price, pre-paying for it, and getting the discounted rate according to a set of listed terms.

If you get a hotel room at the internet pre-pay non-refundable rate and decide not to stay there, you don't get a refund either.

Actor Leslie Nielsen Dies at 84 167

An anonymous reader writes "Famous actor Leslie Nielsen died of pneumonia at a Florida hospital Sunday evening. Leslie was renowned for his comedic roles in dozens of films and TV shows, such as The Naked Gun and Police Squad. His characteristic style and humor was always enjoyable, and he will be sorely missed." Of course you might also remember him from The Forbidden Planet, which is classic sci-fi by any measure.
