This being Canada, and all that. We take a very dim view of this type of stuff. So cheaters beware, you will be criminally nailed to the wall for it. Ala:
404. Every one who falsely, with intent to gain advantage for himself or some other person, personates a candidate at a competitive or qualifying examination held under the authority of law or in connection with a university, college or school or who knowingly avails himself of the results of such personation is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction.
I don't know where you live, but where I live, most dealerships offer at least 1-3 year depending warranties on used cars. The little el-shittio shop(aka fly-by-nights) may have deals with warranty farms for the same thing. So yes, if I buy I used car, at least in most of Canada? I have a warranty. And in general it's just as good as a new car.
Hell they shouldn't have any access at all. They should be in a ventilated, locked box, with no USB ports, no ethernet or wifi ports, and etc, etc, etc. But you know what? Sometime I give up. Stupidity really does win at the end of the day.
Obama isn't just continuing, but where Bush drew the line(and he did several times), the Dem's haven't found a piece of privacy invading or unconstitutional law they didn't like. You'll find that many republican still do support things like the patriot act within reason, that being the key part. However most things within the last several years have come to ahead. And well, would have if Obama and Holder actually trusted the people doing the intel work.
There was plenty of DIYs around. Well at least in Canada anyway. But, radioshack got shoved to the dirt when their competitors(usually smaller places with better stock, and cheaper prices) out did them. About 30mins from my hometown there's a major DIY shop that carries just about every thing electrical you need. And what they don't have, they can get within 24-48hrs for you.
Price is another example. Simple 10 pack of 10ohm resistors were $8 at the shack, and $2.49 at another shop. Most of the time, even if you were driving 30mins you saved money. This is all 4-6 years past of course, but radioshack killed itself, by overcharging on everything. I mean really $4 for a red LED? What? I can by them for $0.18/c elsewhere.
Sorry. You don't get it. How can you have multiple sewage choices? The same way that you can have multiple power choices, or telephone choices, or cable choices. When they all use the same line.
Last mile is publicly owned, or the owner leases out per-customer at a flat rate to another competitor because of *insert various agreements here*. A person 'buys' a specific rate of outflow for a particular amount. This is split off from the main to a separate processing facility off the main pipe. It doesn't matter who's waste it is in bulk, but rather the amount removed per utility.
Just because you don't understand how something works, doesn't make it impossible.
Yes you can. It really is that simple. Strange how people always assume that someone is american, when they make references to canada. Last mile 'public' ownership is the easiest way to ensure that there's more than one company offering service. In fact in my place in Florida, I have the choice of 2 different PUC's for water/sewage. And I have 3 choices for different power companies. The current power supplier I have is a public co-op that services ~2m residences and businesses.
You sure can have free market enterprise and competition with a utility. The problem is, when the utility owns both the method of transit, and the resource you can have no competition. Which is the exact problem.
Except in your example the only that's 'public' is roads. Electricity isn't public, it's private in most of the world, and so is water. Even if you're getting your utility from a PUC.
Why would you hate the correct solution? Perhaps because it illustrates that your chosen dogma does not coincide with reality?
I believe in free market enterprise and competition. The problem is there is no competition in Canada because of things like the CRTC and ownership rules. The US is a bit different, but there's still monopoly/duopoly issues because of carriage agreements. When the free market functions correctly, then there isn't an issue. Hell there's plenty of competition for broadband providers over here in Japan. Except in that case the last mile is publicly owned already, or is under tight peering control.
This point exactly. Before I headed overseas I switched my ISP from Rogers to Teksavvy, which means I went from a $49/mo plan, with 60gb @10/1 to a $42/mo plan with 300gb @ 15/1. Canada sucks for the internet, the US seems to be trying to catch up to Canada. It's quickly coming to a point where as much as I hate it, the last mile should be regulated and publicly owned, like in other countries which can provide dirt cheap internet services.
Warrants require more than 'excessive power usage' in Canada in order to get one. That's covered in case law. Doing a bit more searching(reason it wasn't in my latest journal is because it's still in the courts), there's actually a rather large class action suit going against several cities, and a couple of counties for charter violations for the use of this bylaw. Bylaws like this aren't legal here. You can't skirt the charter to get something done quicker(which is what they've done). And in order for that to be legal, this will end up all the way to the supreme court you can count on it. But the cities and counties will have to show that there's demonstrative harm to public safety, much like the s.1 exception for drinking and driving.
You mean the man traps, electrical code violations caused by, bypassing mains, and cutting through everything in order to run ducting, and in turn causing structural damage? I guess none of those are problems.
I honestly don't know of anywhere that allows city statues(bylaws) to trump provincial and federal legislation in Canada(there are a few exceptions for Toronto at the provincial level but that's it). Something isn't right in this story, and I think it's the entire thing. In Canada you need to have reasonable and probable grounds to get a warrant, power usage isn't enough for that. And I can't see some city trying to pull a 'safety inspection' pile of crap, being that any lawyer here will tell them off the bat that it's a charter violation to have something like that. Plus then there comes the question of legally obtaining the amount of power used, mining that information is a violation of the privacy act. And I'm pretty close to my up and up on case law here.
Yes BC has a serious problem with grow-ops, but they're pretty much to the point of being a soft crime. Meaning that people are fined for far less than in other parts of the country, and jail time is close to non-existent.
From the canuck angle? The article stinks of crap, nothing more nothing less.
Yeah well I live in Canada. And apparently we're a trend against the norm. Population density and all that works against us? So I guess that means I'm right.
So your CEO walks in with his new iPhone and wants to access his mobile reporting solution. The one containing all his sales information. You're telling him he can't? And if the CEO has it, his underlings will have it a few weeks later. They still outrank you. You're going to tell them they can't have it? And when all the managers have it, how long will it be before EVERYONE has access?
Yes. That's exactly what I'm telling them. And I'll happily list off the various methods that will make intrusions easy, and cost him, his company, and or the board/underlings lots of money in the best case. In the worst case, it will mean that it will cost him his job, company and the entire board/underlings will fall right out from under him as well.
If it's one thing that 'those above us' understand is money, and how easily they can lose it if it's not protected, along with all those lovely corporate secrets. They have to understand how corporate espionage, has changed. It's not just someone walking in the door, it's what faithful employees being unknown vectors. If a company wants to create a 'bring your own device to work', then they'll need to have a policy where the network is fully protected from such devices and possible intrusion.
There's no close to free in initial startup costs unless the OS/OSS community can come up with their own cheaply manufactured commercial grade hardware and software for routers/switches/innerconnects. That can be built off the shelf for a dime a dozen.
China doesn't exactly have a glowing reputation for safety standards. And what safety standards exist can be 'greased away' by paying the proper people.
Unlike here in the west(US/Cdn/Europe/etc), smoking is still a pretty common thing in asian countries. And so is smoking on the job unless you work in an office building. So it really wouldn't surprise me a single bit.

I've been looking for that statute for years, but every time I thought I had it the only message was "Not Found"!
Well of course. That's because everyone freezes to death when they realize they're not allowed to watch hockey.

The last mile there is rented by utilities.
You sure can have free market enterprise and competition with a utility. The problem is, when the utility owns both the method of transit, and the resource you can have no competition. Which is the exact problem.
