I've seen USB-A -> USB-C that aren't even grounded properly. The shroud on both ends are supposed to be grounded to each other, and these were floating.
Not helpful when it leaves your very expensive keyboard to absorb ESD alone.
I don't know if Apple tablets can do this but I'm sure they can: most Android tablets' USB port is really a USB-OTG port. You can connect a normal USB keyboard them just fine. I've built my own tiny keyboard for ergonomics, but it's also a great tablet keyboard.
Yeah, I read that after I posted my previous comment. Sounds like in Saskatoon they've started in Stonebridge and Varsity View. Too bad I don't live in either of those areas.
It's probably because Saskatchewan's other ISP has ONLY unlimited plans. SaskTel only goes as fast as 25/2 on DSL (unknown on fibre, apparently they're keeping that a secret but probably 200/10 or so) but it's unlimited so many people switched when Shaw started to charge overages..
Discovery and History in my experience show us (Canadians) the UK version. English media rarely shows us Canadian versions, we either get the American or British version. We often also get the French version dubbed in Quebec for that market.
That would explain a lot about what I'm hearing fellow Canadians say. I haven't seen imperial in stores in at least 15 years, though I do know my height and weight in Imperial. My daughter was just born and her size was quoted and written in metric, though.
There is a law about that. The Weights and Measures act defines a pint as an Imperial pint. I have never seen somebody brought a small pint in a bar when asked. And when you buy beer glasses in Canada they are pint glasses, not American pint glasses.
I hate to be pedantic, but there hasn't been a "Queen of England" in over 300 years. She is Queen of The United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc.
I think I'm going to have to start calling her Queen of Scots, just to see peoples' reactions:)
Fido was entirely independent with their own set of towers at one point in time. (microcell).
Yes and no. Fido itself did have its own towers in cities, but one could roam onto Rogers for a fee and get highway coverage. Fido itself didn't have much if any coverage outside of the major cities in each province. Granted, Rogers coverage near here is pretty spotty too.
Where I live rolling back at all will cause you to fail a driving test. Even on a steep incline in a manual with no handbrake this is true. It's not particularly difficult to make a truck not roll using just the brake, clutch, and accelerator.
You're certainly not wrong. I started using Linux on my old PowerBook to get Java 6. However, Linux on PPC is not supported all that well on most distributions. Fedora and Debian are about the best. Ubuntu has a port, but apparently it's not officially supported. I use Debian.

Their key matrix is easily accessible by a ribbon cable and can be modified to use a custom USB keyboard controller. It's a wonderful thing.
Already covered by "rats, cockroaches and tardigrades".
Canada has its own constitution.
Also, it's the U of S College Quarter, the shiny new residences being built by the U of S on Cumberland Ave and 14th St.

Almost enough to make me switch to Shaw :(

Is that in the US? In Canada they either come unlocked (straight from Apple), or you can get the carrier to unlock them over the phone in 15 minutes.
A CD is an expensive DVD like thing that holds less data for more money. Why they are still used is a mystery to most Canadians.
The Conservative premier of Newfoundland and Labrador campaigned against the federal Conservatives. Just throwing that out there.
I have both a monarchy and a representative democracy. I believe the term you were looking for is "dictatorship".
My ISP is not a Bell reseller. Indeed, Bell is a reseller of the local DSL provider here.
Buy parts and assemble them, just like local computer shops that sell custom PCs do.
I don't have a data cap with SaskTel. There are some good carriers in this country, but you're right you do need to live in the right places.
And overhead? Firewire 400 is faster than USB 2, at 480.
The problem is registering them in Canada, not driving US registered cars here.

Um, what?
The de jure head of state is the Queen of Canada. The de facto head of state is the Governor General. The head of government is the prime minister.
