  1. That sounds like it will be expensive. Part of solving this issue is to keep prices down around the range that someone in Toronto would pay.

  2. British Columbia has good stuff, apparently.

  3. Re:But 5G is on the horizon on Canada Has 'No Plan' To Bring Broadband To Rural and Remote Communities, Watchdog Says (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    You may be underestimating the sheer size of Canada versus the range of a commercial tower.

  4. Good luck getting government residential zoning on the north pole. If you don't have that, you don't have a leg to stand on.

  5. I beg to differ, when garbage collection and snow clearing want private in my city the quality went to hell. For example, private snow clearers don't want to go down to pavement because it costs them too much to blades so you end up with a layer of slick ice over the pavement.

  6. Have no fear! Capitalism solves all needs of the consumer!

  7. But how do you propose the signal get there in a way that doesn't cost more for people who do live in a highly populated area?

  8. It seems to me to make sense that it is difficult to serve a town of 100 if there is nothing around them for 200 km but I don't really have an axe to grind today.

  9. Could be I'm drinking the kool-aid then, I'm not going to argue that.

  10. The Liberals have only been in power for 3 years. Pretty sure broadband is older than that.

  11. A lot of our problems arise from the fact that we are a country with 4 people per KM^2.

  12. And when all companies decide unilaterally that they have a certain cap on what they will pay? Then what do you do.

  13. Uh, I've worked from home for probably 10 years now and my company is doing fine.

  14. Ok so just fire them then. If you are that bad at hiring to have 40% of your workforce bag out on you then you don't deserve to be in business.

    She was refusing to use a secure phone and insisting on using her own personal phone instead... oh wait.

  16. So fire the people for whom it went down or remove the privilege of working from home. Problem solved.

  17. Re:Don't understand on How I Got Locked Out of the Chip Implanted In My Hand (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm talking about the ID in the hand, on an ID in the hand article. Are people being compensated for putting this ID in at least? I couldn't see a business legally being able to make you get a penis peiracing as a requirement to hold a job, how are they compelling people to be injected with these things?

    How is it legal for a company to compel employees to modify their bodies?

    My error was much more straight forward:

    VIDEO UNAVAILABLE
    The uploader has not made this video available in your country.

    I take it as a message that they want me to pirate.

    Also totally useless because most people who want to see these movies have seen them already.

    Same for me.

    Nothing aggravates me more than having to fast forward through ads. Eventually I get so tired of doing it over and over again I just give up and watch them. Honestly, I find it better that way. If any box would auto-skip them, that would be fine, but a lot of the time I want the TV on while I'm doing something and having to grab the remote every 7.5 minutes is really annoying.

    But how many people are doing this and simply not being as greedy? How can any one trust a business that leaves themselves open so willingly?

    But that doesn't profit me directly, so not work my time to spoof it.

    I think the penalty should go to the company with the stupid idea to give anyone anything worth money based solely on GPS data.
