You know what's idiotic? Assuming that that it was an UPGRADE on a PRODUCTION server, when the original poster mentioned neither of those terms. Do you do this often, just so you can attempt to talk down to people?
Well let's be realistic, have you ever dealt with some really *swift* outsourced IT companies? I have, needless to say when I got hired on it was so bad that the town that I ended up working for, flew me across the country to fix the mess. Because the company that they had subcontracted their IT out to, fucked it up. I mean how can you fuck up sharepoint? Well these guys did. Needless to say, the entire town was fucked for nearly 60 days with no incoming, or outgoing payments. And they had to get a bond from the provincial government to cover it until I got them back up and running. My first question when I was on-site was, where is the test and development server? And they said there wasn't one.
That's great, but I'm not in the US. I'm in Canuckland, and it's not just the US media, it's the international media. I'm decently fluent enough that I can read media in 4 other languages, can't speak it but that's okay. It's the same from Japan to Europe, to the Americas. Unless it's the South Americas in which case it's even quieter.
What I find quite interesting is how the media is *really* pushing hard on anything Ukraine related, but is damned quiet on anything relating to Venezuela.
Unless you live in a place where fatwas are used as the basis of law like in many muslim countries. Of course it gets more fun and interesting from there on out, as many of the governments in those countries then put it into practice. Stoning for adulty, or executing apostates.
Summery: * Teksavvy must reveal identity of alleged infringers.
* TSI gets all legal costs, admin costs & disbursements. ** TSI gets paid before Voltage sees even a single name. No money, no names.**
* Any/all letters from Voltage MUST be approved by both the Court & CIPPIC, so as not to provide false information to defendants, and coerce them into settlements. * Letter will include a statement that 'no Court has yet found any recipient of the letter liable for infringement and that recipicies should [seek] legal assistance". * Every letter to an alleged infringer will get a copy of the judge's order. * Any subscriber can request a full copy of the order, for which the Plaintiff (Voltage) must pay for.
* Voltage will only receive Name & Address attached to specific IP addresses of the alleged infringers, and nothing more. * There will be a special Judge assigned to this case, and will 'monitor, as necessary, the conduct of Voltage in its dealings with the alleged infringers."
* If Voltage splits a subscriber out of the herd (so to say), the special judge will keep hold of the new case.
* Voltage cannot make statements to the media, releasing defendant names or addresses.
Nah, foil works perfectly fine. I think it was back in grade 7 or 8, they had someone come in and show us how to make our own homemade explosives, and explained carefully how to do it. This would be going back almost ~15ish years before the fear of *insert terrorist* would try to use this to blow anything up. Funny that, I think it was a year or so after that we had the first round of natives trying to blow up sour gas pipes and wellheads using the same method here in Canada.
The *manufacturer* has a vested interest in making sure your car has a safety update...
I had to chuckle at that. My grandfather was one of the people involved in a corners inquest here in Canada, that looked at a fatal crash where all the occupants of the vehicle were killed. This was back before seatbelts were required in any vehicle. Their recommendation was that seatbelts be made mandatory in all vehicles, and all of the auto manufactures fought tooth and nail against it until federal legislation was put in place.
Warranty work via recalls are always free to the consumer, even if your car is out of it's warranty period. The only they could "pad" would be the bill to the company itself. Which would state "X warranty service" and then the head office would pay for the labor. Since you know, that's how it actually works.
My god. By 2012 the average summer temperature in Baltimore would be 155F.
Ah don't worry, we already hit 250C here this past summer. Pretty sure I saw car tires melting in the parking lots...and people bursting into flames. But we've fixed that problem, with this glorious Canadian invention called..."winter."
Whoa. You get so much stuff they actually put a box on your front law? Hell when I was getting $20k/week delivered to my house they wouldn't do that. And that's more than most companies get around here delivered to their dump box.
Oh I see we've got someone swallowing tripe again. Let me guess, you also believe that methane only shows up in the water after fracking. And oil never bubbles to the surface to contaminate the ground either.
If the media exists to create debate, then the media in the US is doing a terrible job at it. Have you sat down to watch NBC? MSNBC? ABC? CBS, or CNN in the last 3 years. Right...there's no debate, it's all about how the "administration can do x,y,z." Or the anchors are reading directly from whitehouse handouts when talking to detractors on an issue, or directly from OFA or Media Matters talking points.
Seriously, the media in the US is hyper-partisan especially the media on the left.
And the NHL, arguably more athletic and dangerous than the NBA or NFL, is 95+% white dudes. Explain that one!
Everyone knows that hockey is the national past time in Canada, as such we get a controlling stake in the say of who gets to play. No one, not even Americans can tell us otherwise. Now that I've let the secret out though, we can't have you spreading it around...
The US plunged to 46th on press freedom because they intentionally censor themselves to get favor with the government. And because the media is owned by a select group, there's also a valid reason why less than 20% actually trust what the media says in the US. Be realistic, if you don't see the MSM in the US bending over backwards to shove their heads right up against the democrats pucker you're just plain blind. People whined that the media did this under Bush, but it was hardly true. They attacked him regularly and often, the media today bends over backwards to defend them. We saw the same thing in Canada when the Liberal's(party) were in power. The media would bend over backwards to kiss their ass and defend them against everything and anything.
Seriously, the entire "if there isn't enough of x" BS pisses me off to no end. It's screwed up everything it's touched, and then some. It literally allows people who wouldn't be qualified to work in areas they shouldn't, and it creates no shortage of animosity among people and for a very good reason. My personal favorite was back in the '00's where police services in Ontario were posting ads with "*insert minority* but, applications from whites were not being accepted" happens in government, happens in business.
Beh, the entire thing is disgusting to anyone who has an ounce of common sense, and rational thinking.
Funny you mention Hudson's Bay being frozen over, it hasn't happened in awhile. And it was such huge crisis back in the 70's and early 80's that the Government of Canada commissioned nearly 100 air compressors from Gardner Denver in Woodstock, Ontario to keep sections of the bay open so they could land sea planes to deliver supplies to remote communities. You'd think that landing on ice would be okay, the problem was two fold. There was never enough clean ice to make a runway. The other was high levels of erosion from the water under it eating holes through it or thinning it to the point where it became dangerous to land craft.
The man who threw someone elses medals over the WH found, and got three purple hearts for flesh wounds. If you take anything he says seriously you're either drinking the koolaid deeply, or a blind partisan hack.
Funny that I can remember paying in the US $0.43/gallon in Indiana back in '99. Could fill my car for $6, and drive it from there back home in southern ontario on one tank--if I didn't hit any traffic problems. Now would cost me pushing $30 to fill it. Of course in Ontairo at the time it cost me $20 or so to fill it.
Well normally I'd agree, except I've lived in the region for a bit. Some other/.er's could probably explain better if they're more recent live-ins', but usually when the governments in the region do something like this it has more to do with industrial espionage and fear of direct, or indirect attacks against national interests. Or that there's interest in "gaining" people by kidnapping. China, who uses N.Korea as a proxy to attack it's neighbors will happily disavow everything. And there's a very long history of people who've disappeared in S.Korea and Japan showing up in both countries as either sex slaves, concubines to the leadership, or forced into research positions/universities.

Yeah it was that bad.
Well by that line of reasoning, Apple would be the greatest destroyer of mankind to have ever walked the eart.
In the US, it has always been like this

To be fair, at the moment the Ukraine revolt is far more bloody and destructive. At the moment.
Really? Last I heard 60-70 odd people dead in the Ukraine, and over 300 dead in Venezuela.
What I find quite interesting is how the media is *really* pushing hard on anything Ukraine related, but is damned quiet on anything relating to Venezuela.

For those interested here's the CIPPIC information.

But "social scientists" know all, see all, eat all, and tell you where to shit at the end of the day.
