Virtual Box machines for beginners
Public
April 25, 2010
Virtual Box is amazing and it's free, open-source software.
Imagine your computer, whether it is a desktop or a laptop, is a box. In that box is your machine. Maybe its a Windows machine or an Apple MacOS machine or a Linux Ubuntu machine.
Now imagine, inside your computer you can create new boxes that can each be different machines.
Your Windows desktop or laptop computer can now have a Linux machine in its own virtual box. The same applies if your computer is an Apple/Mac or a Linux machine it can have virtual boxes for a Windows machine or any other. And your computer can have several different virtual machines running at the same time.
Let's start, maybe you have been wondering what it would be like to use a Ubuntu Linux desktop or wondering about trying an EMR like Oscar.
BC Court of Appeal decision puts February 2008 BCMA dispute back to square one
Public
Vancouver, B.C. February 7, 2010
The BC Court of Appeal decision in Wang v. British Columbia Medical Association (2010 BCCA 43) was delivered on January 29, 2010, marking almost two years from the February 1-2, 2008 BCMA Board meeting where a dispute arose that was not resolved and resulted in recourse to the courts.
The Court of Appeal decision does not provide an answer to how the dispute can be resolved while it sets aside the Judgment of the BC Supreme Court with Justice Madame Ballance presiding (2008 BCSC 1559) and "make(s) no comment on the merits of the dispute", essentially reverting the dispute back to square one leaving it up to the parties involved and the BCMA membership to determine what further actions are required.
Urgent need to revise the BC Society Act highlighted by BC Court of Appeal decision
Public
Vancouver, B.C. February 7, 2010.
In what many will view as a technical legal ruling, the BC Court of Appeal decision (January 29, 2010) in Wang v. British Columbia Medical Association (2010 BCCA 43) highlights for the public and members of the BCMA that the BC Society Act is urgently in need of revision.
Fortunately, review of the BC Society Act is currently underway. It was announced on December 17, 2009 and the BC Government is seeking feedback with a deadline of April 1, 2010. Related BC Government documents state the BC Society Act has not been significantly revised since 1977 and "is outdated and in need of revision". http://www.fin.gov.bc.ca/society_act_review.htm
