  4. Use silver halide on How Do You Store Your Personal Photos? · · Score: 0

    Simply, just use silver halide films (35mm or bigger) and keep them in a fireproof safe. They will last pretty much forever, and you will always have the technology to view them...aka your own eyes.

    I teach a class about PID control loops at 18-19 year old students in a technical degree in building mechanics and I'm looking into showing them more than the cursus objectives. I'll be showing them soldering, arduinos, basic PC repair and upgrade, potato gun construction, and thermal engine basics. Any other ideas? suggestions?

  13. Re:Color Me Unsuprised on Quebec Says 'Non' To English-Only Video Games · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't say my view isnt't biased but here we go.

    The canadian constitution separates competence fields that are federal and provincial. Telecom, employment insurance to name a few, are federal. Healthcare, education and culture are provincial.

    Quebec isn't getting a larger part of the cake, it simply demands that, because it has two separate income tax systems, it gets back the money that it has overpaid because all other provinces have their income tax managed by the federal government. It's the provinces responsabilities to create their own specificities in their provincial government system. That's the way everyone is happy, with a strong, decentralised federal system that can adapt to local concerns.

    We don't have the same mentality everywhere in Canada. Regional differences occur (think about the difference between BC and Saskatchewan).

    However, I wouldn't agree that Quebec's economy would collapse after a secession (only angry canadians use the word separate, with it's negative connotation). Quebec's largest bank is owned by the people (Caisses Populaires Desjardins), as well as it's largest pension (Caisse de depot et de placement) fund, as it's largest investment fund (Fond de solidarite FTQ), as it's sole energy provider (Hydro-Quebec). Furthermore, Quebec healtcare is independant from the federal government, and healthcare insurance is free for everyone.

    And i'd like to remind you that the only reason you're paying perequation is that you've got tar sands and the US is willing to pay more for non-foreing oil. If wasn't for that, you'd be receiving from us.

    This may be perceived troll because of denigration of the people of Quebec.

    This WONT get picked up by the media in quebec not because people dont care or are too dumb, but because Videotron own the media that reach the most and they certainly won't publicize it...

    Some companies rent the Videotron Cable.
    Radioactif.net and b2b2c.ca amongst others. But they are dependant of Videotron usage restrictions and bandwidth throttling. But they offer a lower price and a different facturation.

  25. Re:Voulez-vous coucher avec moi? on Quebec ISP To Terminate Subscribers Over Copyright · · Score: 1

    It's the nearly only coax provider, 3G is extremely costly and undevelopped, ADSL is slower. Microwave is not really an option.

    Sure, some companies lease the videotron cable, and they are pretty good but they are not known by the population.

    Did you know that they have a 50Mb coax residential network in Laval, Qc?
