It is the "best place on earth," but only if you don't count Campbell, BC Ferries, health care, minimum wage, homelessness, police brutality, and the divided opinion on the Olympics.
Best case of 80ms? Surely you mean "maximum acceptable," as they say they've determined that's as high as they want to go and have come up with their 1000 mile radius as a result of that.
Tuesday nights or weekend matinees are just $4.25 here. $6.25 for regular priced showings:)
Oh, and that's in Canadian dollars, too.
Screw paying $12 at Cineplex when local competition blows them away.
Yes, I agree in terms of what's your right and all, but it's very possible they crippled the hardware, too, and your stock firmware can't deal with those changes.
I'm pretty sure they also buy all Nokia's broken phones for their customers since the last two phones I got and unlocked with a stock firmware turned into crashing pieces of shit.
So you hack the phone and then it starts crashing? Maybe it's because the software you load is buggy?
Once you register your domain with GoDaddy (or any other registrar), you'll get an email from CIRA asking you to accept their registration agreement and define what kind of Canadian you are (ie. a person, a corporation, a political party, Her Majesty the Queen, etc.). If you do not agree to the agreement or you don't complete this step, your registration is canceled.
Yes, I google my real name every now and then. Who doesn't?:)
Well if you tell Google your real name, and Google saves searches for future data mining, not to mention they have ads on many, many sites which they can track as well, I'd say it wouldn't be too complicated for them to figure out what kind of sites you frequent. Further data mining may be able to identify who you are based on URLs that ads are loaded from.
A. Create a new holding company in a different country (say USA or somewhere with desirable local laws) - transfer said.ca domain to new holding company. B. Change the main page to "This Site no longer exists. Try going to whatevermysiteis.COM" C. Tell offending government to go pound sand.
CIRA won't allow said holding company to take ownership of the domain unless said holding company has a Canadian presence. With.ca domains, they can't be under the control of anyone who isn't operating within Canada, for the most part.
I'll support this decision when the laws concerning kids change.
Here are two dangerous scenarios, both of which take place in an age-restricted venue.
#1) You go home with the cute girl. You don't worry about this person's age since the legal age of the venue is 18 (Quebec), 19 (rest of Canada), or 21 (USA). Well, turns out you were wrong, and now you're a branded sex offender for life. Your only recourse is to sue the bar to oblivion for not doing its job filtering out the kids, forcing the bar to start being more strict, including scanning IDs.
In Canada feel free to have sex with any girl who's over 16. But you'll be thrown in jail if you take photos. For photos, you've got to wait until she's 19. But sex, no problem at 16! Oh and they just moved that up from 14 a couple of years ago...
So it has nothing to do with trying to enforce drinking ages. Instead it is just more "paper's please" government tracking of citizens.
I am sure that will make everyone there feel even better about being branded cattle...
Nope, that all came after the Privacy Commissioner did his investigation. Originally the police were all about this how it would help them track down gangs and the clubs were all about how this would help them fend off repeat trouble makers.
Actually it's more like the officer holds down the PTT button and hears a tone telling him his radio can't get a channel because they're all out of range or in use. This is exactly what happened with the CREST system they built here a few years back. It was supposed to be this great upgrade that put all the local police forces, fire crews and other public servants on the same system.
Search for CREST in Victoria to find out all about the problems and how police offers had to resort to cell phones when in times of emergency..
Nothing like wanting the good ole' analog radios back.
As an aside, I just found an interesting UI bug.. my preview never shows up so I click Cancel, then Reply again... instead of an edit box coming up my preview that never showed did. So I click Post. Well, it seems my *new* message was posted instead of the one I was previewing!
No kidding, eh. Our Ministers are always looking out for us with this great legislation that will protect our rights!
It seems they got my email address from an email I sent them about this issue via http://www.onlinerights.ca/
When I sent that email I was actually surprised to receive a personal reply from my local MP himself. It took a few weeks, but I did hear back with some of the things he's been doing and where he stands on the issue.
Paedophiles aren't inherently driven to commit crimes, because most of us have restraint. I like the idea of having sex with young boys, but I don't go out and do that for the same reasons that you don't rape women. I can believe that, but you should still seek therapy.If you like the idea of having sex with young boys, it's not an idea that is healthy for you. It's like liking the idea of killing people, or raping women. Guess the record breaking release of that game that just came out where you can hire prostitutes, murder people, organize a gang, and drive drunk should come with some free therapy sessions...
Indeed. I met something similar a few days ago... not a mainframe of any sort, but a desktop sporting a 5 1/4" floppy drive. The good ole text-based interface controlled the entire environmental system for what seemed to be an otherwise up-to-date building.
I think the AC was suggesting that by locking up the innocent you let the actual guilty party go free. You can't lock up both the right and wrong party for the same crime...
Along these lines, it would seem that HER server made the copy, and then transmitted that copy -- willingly -- to the search engine. It's also worthwhile to note that her server most likely knew it was a search engine based on the UserAgent string it sent with the request. Should her server have followed the URL and read the agreement, it would understand the consequences of creating and providing that copy to the search engine.
Actually anyone can take a safety course with a deactivated firearm. The government mandated Firearm Safety Course and Restricted Firearm Safety Course is available to any Canadian of any age. With proper supervision, there's no reason these courses could not be offered in a school environment.
One still has to apply for their PAL after completing one or both of these courses before being allowed to own or handle a real firearm.

But none of those matter much, it is The BEST Place on Earth afterall.

How much do you trust Google?

Not too often the summary itself IS the dupe...
I think the AC was suggesting that by locking up the innocent you let the actual guilty party go free. You can't lock up both the right and wrong party for the same crime...
Or buy the box which usually includes docs and support... or at least used to a few years ago.

Hmm, looks like you live in Quebec. Your "friend's" phone number ends 2866 (and yours 5458) with a house number of 398.
:)
Am I close?

There's a good chance your VoIP calls and/or your cell phone calls go though an ISDN PRI on their way to the telco for termination :)
