    Does anyone know a webpage that reasons for upgrading memory?

    I have to do a speech on Monday and I need to have at least one source for my information... the sucky thing is, even though I know enough about why, I can't use myself as a source. I did a quick search on google and all I got (non-surprisingly) was a bunch of sites selling RAM. So I checked...

    Is it true that Canada allows US citizens to have dual citizenship?

    I heard this once a few years back. Is it true that if you are a US citizen, you can obtain canadian citizenship without living in Canada, and still maintain your citizenship of the US? Do I actually have to go to Canada to do this, or can I just mail in paperwork? I dunno, I just think it...
