Why do you say that? Oh right, I'm guessing you're one of the idiot generation that grew up believing that "social media is the end-be-all" of everything online in turn simply posted with your actual name in the first place. Unlike those of us who started using this intertubes thing in the 70's, 80's or 90's and didn't, in which case when we decided we wanted to abandon a pseudonym we could.
I have a 1996 car. Sometimes things break or I want to alter something which requires modifications.
I have a 1996 car too(I love my saturn to bits, best car I've ever owned), but there are three things that are issued that are similar to hardware updates. One is called a TSB(technical service bulletin), a SBR(Service Bulletin recall), and a Recall. The TSB is a rare but known issue which the company will not cover for a repair for. The SBR is coverage that the company will cover for repair even if the vehicle is out of warranty because: It's in their best interest, or because they've been sued over it. The last(recall) is because the government mandated a recall to fix the issue.
Back in '04 there was a SBR issued for the my '96 staturn relating to the failure of the horn. This was covered out-of-warranty in repair by Saturn. The warranty period for the car was 5 years.
In the threads case, there is a similarity here. This would be akin to them telling him to flash the ECM to update the engine timing to fix a rare issue listed in one of the TSB's, where the car will stall at idle, but instead of fixing that the car no longer starts and bricked the powertrain module. In this case the car maker is responsible and required to offer an alternate solution to the repair that failed.
You seem to be mistaking your local slang for global English.
I guess if "local slang" means used in the court of law, case law, and all evidence books in Canada then I guess so. Never minding that it's also used in most countries that were part of the commonwealth.
I guess that just leaves americans out in the dust like usual in believing that they know all.
In Canada persue via the case law is defined as following a suspect within the bounds of arrest. Following CC.495, which means that the person has committed, or about to commit a I/O(indictable offence aka felony).
Well that would require me owning it, and even though it's been on sale a dozen times on steam as cheaply as $5 I still don't own it, maybe if it gets down to $2.99. Hah
Though my shogun2 DX11 high bench gives me an average FPS: 41.6875 on the new 313.96 drivers. And here's the old 3dmark score from back a bit ago before I started tinkering with it. Still haven't gotten around to running a new bench for it. Back when I first did the build it was in the top 3 fastest in the FX6100/560ti category at stock.
Yes and no. They can cross into Canada if they're perusing a suspect and there must be R&PG according to the treaty, same applies to Canada border agents crossing into the US. To the no part, anything else is considered a violation of the border treaty and of other agreements.
Wow really now? I guess that's a good deal, and they didn't really do any shopping around. But I recently built a FX-6100($119), with a MSI970a-G46($85), 8GB of ram(gskill f314900CL9D-8GBSR)($29), and picked up a 560Ti on sale with instant rebates for $99. What's that work out to being? $332 plus tax or $381 w/tax where I live. I mean come on it's not a blazing fast machine or anything, but it's sure not bottom end desktop. And it'll handle pretty much everything on the market in terms of gaming, well if not exceptionally well. The only thing it's choking on is Crysis3(insert jokes about Crysis).
...or their staffs knew half as much about technology as the average teenager.
In general, laws and politics are around 20 years behind technology. So don't hold your breath, just wait until you or I hit 60 and we'll be wondering what these young whipersnappers are whining about over people wanting to control their wetware.
Yes, because by under-reporting they can charge you...wait you're just one of those idiots that doesn't RTFA right?
Well...yes. Because unless your ISP uses cumulated reports that span at least two months, you're getting ripped off every month and in turn being over-charged. Though to be honest, I've never seen a ISP bandwidth monitor that under reported. All of them I've seen at least here in Canada have overreported, some have reported even when the customer has the modem unplugged/off. Which makes me think that these things really aren't collecting the stats, they're making guesstimates based off of usage over X timeframe.
That's not what Keynesian economists tell us. Though this is what Austrian economists tell us. Funny that the majority of the world runs on Keynesian economics and is suffering badly for it.
Sorry, liberals don't like it when the churches do things like "donating free space" to help people. They throw hissy fits, and start screaming about a separation of church and state. Well at least they do in the US, never mind that in Canada that churches and synagogues have been doing this up here for the better part of a decade already and it's open to the public.
Contrary to popular belief most civil engineers aren't dumb
Yeah I call BS on that. I've been in three cities, where the light timings were perfect down to the KM/H where you could hit every intersection at a green. Every other city I've been in, including my own you'll hit every light red unless you run it.
Fact that Google didn't shows that Google needs them more than they need Google.
I'm guessing you don't generally understand how things work in places like France or Quebec. Whine, then cry, then whine some more. And when things look bleak, demand a government bailout to protect your culture.
What on earth makes you think that's unique to the US?
People tend to think that everything like this is unique to it. Well once people get out into the real world and see what happens, they quickly realize that cheating happens everywhere. Or that a politician must be a huckster to compete, I'm guessing they've never seen european politics or canadian, or hell japanese. From my own neck of the woods, take a look at Dalton McGuinty probably one of the biggest liars, cheats and scum suckers since Bob Rae. And one that's successfully ensured that Ontario will be paying through the nose for electricity. Despite claiming that hydro prices will go down.
Funny little thing happened while your were asleep Rip Van Winkle. Smartphones were found under a cabbage leaf and the world rejoiced.
Well someone already made the point, on smartphones and that tiny ass little screen. I mean really now, as you get older that tiny screen is going to get mighty tough to look at. So tell me again, why would I want to read something in a 4" to 8" area, when I can look at it on a 22" to 27" area in much better resolution without straining my eyes.
Did osmosis and transmission into the brain by optical cable get perfected while I was offline in the last three weeks? Can you let us in on the secret...
In Canada the Criminal Code has no statue of limitations(unless specified) and there are two. Treason(no more than 3 years), and summery conviction charges(where the person can be served with time in prison under 2 years).

It's odd that they aren't going after Bell or Rogers.
Rogers and Bell are "content producers."
Ah. You would think someone would just spell that out, rather than using an obscure acronym.
R&PG is as obscure as WYSIWYG.
In Canada persue via the case law is defined as following a suspect within the bounds of arrest. Following CC.495, which means that the person has committed, or about to commit a I/O(indictable offence aka felony).

Good luck building that tablet!
A tablet has a mouse and keyboard that's external? Oh right...that's not a PC.
But then, that's how things are in these United States of America.
And here I thought you were talking about Canada. Same deal up here.
Economy is not science and won't ever be.

And pretty much no game uses more than a couple of gigabytes.
Skyrim for example will eat up 4-8GB for textures alone if you have it configured for it.
Correct. On this side of the Atlantic, they are our servants.
Really? So when these servants violate the law and you have no recourse, how is that working out for you?

Considering more people die by blunt force trauma with criminal intent than by guns. Your statement has no merit.
In Canada the Criminal Code has no statue of limitations(unless specified) and there are two. Treason(no more than 3 years), and summery conviction charges(where the person can be served with time in prison under 2 years).
