Canada Opens Wireless Industry To Competition

FreeKill writes "The Canadian government on Wednesday paved the way for new cellphone companies by announcing new rules for an auction of radio airwaves designed to spur competition in the wireless industry. About 40 per cent of the spectrum will be reserved for new entrants with the remainder open to all bidders, including Canada's big three providers — Rogers, Bell, and Telus. The government will also mandate roaming area agreements which will force existing carriers to share their networks with newcomers for five years, plus another five if the new entrants can build up their own networks nationally."

    Howdy. Read this entire document before trying any of the steps.

    'Having sex with a car'. The phrase is sometimes misunderstood to
    mean sex in a car, and sometimes is greeted with skepticism. How can you
    have sex with a car? The short answer is, up the tailpipe.

    The long answer is much more involved, including techniques,
    precautions and cautions all designed to get you maximum satisfaction from
    screwing a car. Our first subject will be the tailpipe.

    The tailpipe of the car is, of course, where the exhaust comes out.
    So in this sense, the tailpipe is an anus.

    First we will deal with some cautions you should know about.

    In most cars, the edge of the tailpipe is sharp. You should
    therefore exercise caution when doing anything with the tailpipe.

    If the engine has been on for a long (or even a relatively short)
    period of time, the tailpipe will be hot. Do not do anything with the
    tailpipe hot. Wait until the tailpipe has cooled off. The tailpipe will
    cool off faster than the engine, so you don't have long to wait. I call
    screwing the car while the tailpipe is hot, "fucking the car hot". Never fuck a car hot. I did, once. Once.

    The exhaust from a car contains poisonous gases. One of these,
    carbon monoxide, is a slow killer. Carbon monoxide takes a long time to
    be flushed out of the body, so it can build up to toxic levels without
    your knowing it.

    Never do anything with the tailpipe while the engine is on!

    Now, the first thing you should note is that the inside of the
    tailpipe is usually coated with soot. This is the usual particulate debris
    of combustion. Before having sex with the car, clean the inside of the
    tailpipe with soap and warm water, as far as you can go. Keep in mind
    the possibly sharp edge of the tailpipe.

    Now that the tailpipe is clean, you are ready to pleasure and be
    pleasured by the car.

    You can do this two ways. One way doesn't require any equipment.
    The other way (which is much more rewarding) does.

    The first way is to fuck the car 'raw'. This does NOT mean stuffing
    your cock into the tailpipe and thrusting. This would hurt (remember the
    sharp edges?) and be no fun anyway, since the tailpipe doesn't flex.

    What you should do is get behind the car and start jerking off.
    When you are about to come, carefully put your cock into the tailpipe of
    the car, and then come. But, in the heat of passion, you must still
    remember the sharp edge. Even putting just the head into the tailpipe is
    good enough. Just make VERY sure that you don't hurt yourself.

    Now, this assumes that you can get your cock into the tailpipe
    in the first place. Some tailpipes are too small, and then, well, you're
    out of luck. Find someone who has a car with a bigger tailpipe.

    The best way to have sex with a car, however, is not raw. You
    need the following equipment:

    1 Sexual Interface Unit.

    If you don't have one, you can get one through me or you can attempt to build one yourself. The SIU is essentially a tube made of foam rubber, rolled such that the inner diameter is slightly smaller than the diameter of your erect penis. When lubricated, it acts as a sexual interface to whatever you attach it to. In this case, it is inserted into the tailpipe of the car you want to have sex with.

    To build one, you will need black electrical tape, a 'Koozie', a can of soda, and a hefty pair of scissors. A 'Koozie' is a foam rubber dingumbob in which you put a soda. It keeps the soda cold and your hand warm. Being a 'give-away' item, you usually can't find it anywhere. I've had reports of finding them in liquor stores. I've actually found a good deal of them at a local discount-type store.

    There are two kinds, thick walled and thin walled. I've only been
    able to find the thick kind; the thin kind I've only been able to get
    through an advertising company. The thin kind is particularly good with
    tailpipes
