A good point mate, 90% of the problem around the great lake triangle is the hodge podge of 60 year old technology. A real problem with the grid to say the least, I can't remember if I read or I heard from one of my friends who works as a lineman down in the US that when NY tripped they were cycling at 62Hz or 63Hz, the grid was supposed to auto-disconnect at 60.3Hz. I do remember reading that it was Ontario that was pushing the phase higher into NY tho, something to do with the grid becoming highly unstable(not surpising with deregulation here). I'm guessing that the auto-disconnect was a delay of some kind or hadn't been upgraded or some other crap.
Going to be very interesting to see how this all plays out in the end, all around the triangle tho there is alot of blame for the grid going down.
Neither were justified, and all could be considered childish. Neither knew what was going on, and neither country still really knows what "exactly happened"; as it stands the statements were tit for tat. Or politics, nothing more nothing less.
Now you get into the fun stuff you see, this is called "politics".
I'm a real fan of wondering "what if", in this case "what if" Jean and idiot boy(that would be the minister), hadn't opened their mouths and blamed the US first. Would NY having been first target by Canada for the cause have reacted quite so in blaming Ontario? Maybe, maybe not.
But, with less then friendly relations between Canada and the US well I'm not surprised that the first reaction out of Ottawa...I mean from our Priminister sitting in Quebec with Hydro at his cottage while Ontario was without power and not saying a word except "blame the US".
Your forgetting that the Priminister of Canada was the first one along with one of his ministers to directly blame the US, that being New York(first) and Pennsylvania(second), NY blaming Ontario(third) for the blackout.
I'm right on that? Right? Right!? Who the hell am I kidding, they'll only go up and you know I'm right on that. It's going to be triple dipping, fuel/tire/ect, road(via county/country/city taxes), and then GPS based.
Get ready for pillaging of a lifetime! That 6ft(2m for our euro friends) reamer has your name on it!
That is the fine difference between laws in the US and Canada my friend. I'm not saying that we don't have our own problems up here with idiots trying to screw us over now(read corps and pollies actually they are much much worse), a new orgaization called the CRIA(sounds familiar doesn't it?), is trying to push for exactly the same laws up here that you have in the US but leave the levy intact.
Sharers right now are free, leechers are free for the time being to carry out what they want because of the media levy we have up here. Until they change copyright law up here, things are good, but the sneaky way that government works in Canada; they can change it before we know what hits us. And unless you pay very close attention to Canadian politics they'll slip it in as a "maintenance bill" or some other crud, in truth it's more of a "screw you up the ass, and watch us reap the profits bill".
I've lived in both countries and I know the laws of the US fairly well. We pay a levy and a tax, and a tax on the levy. Up here you pay out the ass for what you get, and if your going to get raped by the government, trust me the majority of the people will do what they can to reap from it.
His legal understanding of Candian law is right. And in Canada, you do have the right when you buy a pack of CDR's to copy music as long as it is for NON PROFIT USE.(Read the laws) The money has been collected by an agency(CPCC) that is directly redistributing back to the artists, they are getting their money wether you are using those CDR's for data or Audio, profit or not. Now, think on that, and wonder why Canada has one of the highest "piracy" rates in North America, it's because people already know they are paying for the goods that they haven't paid for!
I've gone over this a dozen times with lawyers to, the Industry Minister(Rock), to the Minister of Heritage(Copps) both people who are at the top of the new "levy", and the law is on the copiers side on this. I've met them face to face and gotten into nice little debates with them, I'm almost sure that the levy is going through. I love the prospect of dropping a $20 for a pack fo 10CDr's.
A note to my fellow Canadians, if you feel like buying an MP3 player with a HDD in it, do so now. They will be getting very expensive when the new levy comes out.
As for the last bit, ofcourse they don't make any distinction between data and audio CD's, how else could they pillage us at the store and still take our money and give it away to artists when we are doing something buying media for backups.
Canada's standard operating procedure in things like this is either to let the private sector do things like this, see above. Wait for massive public outcry, or until it effects them directly and then do something about it. In which case they'll jump all over it.
So, if you didn't get that...there is no Canadian federal equivalent service, and if there is...you may see it in 5-10 years like most other things.
Just like filling up gas containers on the plastic liners of a pickup truck right? *cough* static*cough*
I've never seen an explosion caused by a cellphone but I've seen vapor ignition caused by a cellphone. Ofcourse in favor of people and their cell phones, it did have a small electrical short in the phone.
And for those craving more information it wasn't at a gas station, but at a factory plant where everyone carries one of the phone type jobs, some yahoo was filling a machine inside, instead of outside; build up of vapor and poof a rather pretty little lightshow for us all.
Kind of right, it's not illegal yet. Thanks to pushes by the CPCC with their tariffs, not to mention them also pushing the same draconian copyright laws on us as the RIAA and MPAA have pushed on our American friends; we could find ourselfs in a world of pain very very quickly.
We have a pile of special interest groups bent on this, and none that are strong or powerful enough to balance them out. If Darth Jean and the liberal party are good at one thing, it's screwing the Canadian people; and if they thought that piracy was hurting business they would do it to protect Canadian identity just like satellite. Something you don't even want to get me started on.
Your right ofcourse. Instead of executing a person for a small insignificant crime like China does, we actually try to rehabilitate our criminals.
That does cause some problems, like large numbers of people in prisons, but that could also be caused by rather draconian laws as well. Ahh well, I'm not really in the mood to debate the finer points of politics and moral society right now.
I think that was the century flu(see early 1900's), if I remember right the plauge was closer to 90%.
The phrase "decimation of the european continent" should give you a good scope of the number of people that died from it.
Re:110VAC outlets available today

· Score: 1
Try checking out the Pontiac Vibe, as you said it has a 110VAC outlet in it. Alot of the new GM cars have them as well, it is good tho that we are going to a 42 volt system, it's been needed for awhile not counting the increase and reliance on computers but the motors and relays with them
The down side it, the lack of mechancial redundancy. They've already gone to electircal steering in in cars...what happens when one of the motors quits? Or your wiring harness goes for a shit? No more steering, a minor short in the actuator for the electric brakes, and boof! You have one of two things, either a brake that doesn't work, or one that suddeny slams shut. Now *that* would be somthing I wouldn't want to be in. I've seen hydrolic calipers seize on a car at 70mph the guy didn't walk away from it. I have seen people able to stop their cars tho, comes down to how hard they lock.
I'm a fan of mechanical and hydrolic parts on my cars. I know how they work(it's also what I apprenticed on tho I'm not in the biz I try to keep up). You get some motor manufactured in a 3rd world country by a gimp who doesn't care what his job is or why he's doing it and you slap it in a car. Hell...call me old fashioned, I like knowning that my life is held on fluid in lines and hydrolic pressure/pistons, rather then wires and electronics.
*chuckle* And you want to move to Canada? We only have one view here. It's called CANCON, "Canadian Content"; or How much "Canadian" TV is required by law by the goverment to be be shown on all TV networks regardless of their broadcast orgin. Which means that american channels are pirated over, C&KU dish's are illegal, and those nifty little 18" dish's are also illegal unless approved by the CRTC and Federal goverment. You can use an antenna, but that doesn't mean you'll get anything. But don't get your hopes up.
And if the news isn't exactly along the goverment line, sometimes the cable or satellite signal will suddenly "drop out". You do the math.
It's definatly not "greener on the other side of the fence".
As I said, I don't do your homework. The information is for you to look up. But I can say from personal experiance your postings to roll back to the infamous "I'm better because, I don't have to look it up" bit.
The big bad world of information researchers doesn't work like that. You do your own dirty work, and if you can't, don't or won't look it up. You want to pay me for the work, that's a different story. That's fine with me. I couldn't care less, it's your own pen of ignorance you'll be wallowing in.
But perhaps, you should try looking up some of those "big" words your using like "rhectoric" and "spin", and see how masters actually do at it.
If I had posted rhectoric and spin, it would have been without leaving you the technet article numbers.
No, a dodge would be question your ability to use a serach engine.

MS has now finally after a month or two finally fixed 811493, it actually works. So take your pick, look it up; or wallow in your own ignorance.
I've pointed you in the direction, and I don't do your homework. Time to see the big boys world and realize that sometimes you have to look up the information yourself.
Besides 811493, 329170 and now 818043 all have either broken something, slowed down the system, crashed machines.
811493 still causes slowdowns on 2000 and XP. Not to mention breaking several AV programs, and other various things.
329170 still causes excessive shutdown times on XP and 2000, and has broken XP all on it's own in several configurations.
818043 is the one we are discussing today, and simply pooch screwed network connections.
So no, it's not fixed. It's still an issue and people are still experiancing problems. And MS still hasn't fixed it, regardless of what you think and regardless of what MS is saying.
