    Well they get so many, have to make they have time to fit them all in.


    As for here in Montreal, the forecast says cloudy periods, so here's hoping that I'll be able to check it out...If I haven't flown to to escape our record-breaking winter.

    Luckily, Canada will soon have a direct flight from Vancouver to Sydney that won't have to stop in Honolulu.

  11. Re:Asynchronous Transfer Mode? on ATM Turns 40 · · Score: 1

    Luckily, at some Bank of Montreal locations, there is a sort of coin roll vending machine which might come in handy for something like that.

  16. Re:What about spam? on E-Mail Addiction 12-Steps Stumbles · · Score: 1

    It's even quicker if you use a spam filter or a service with a spam filter. I get a ton of spam at my gmail account, but 99% goes straight to the spam folder. I still get the odd message that doesnt get filtered but that's quickly rectified. Although, I'll admit that if I'm at home, I know instantly when I have mail, thanks to Notifier.

  17. Re:Once again... on Yahoo Pipes · · Score: 1

  20. Re:The reality of this is... on Possible Serious Security Flaw In ATMs · · Score: 1

    The signatures are just for records. at the convenience store i help manage here in montreal, we keep all the hard-copies of the receipts and the only we go back to look at something is if head-office needs something say for a charge-back or something. We have other policies in place to prevent malicious transactions.

  21. Re:It's all about the interface on Apple Orders 12 Million iPhones · · Score: 1

    when I call 411 from my cell, they even send a text message with the result after i've hung up with them. Now that's useful.

  22. Re:2 MEGAwatts?!?! on Generator Delays May Slow Data Center Projects · · Score: 2, Interesting

    At least one city here in Quebec did just that during the Ice Storm of 1998. They wheeled a locomotive into the center of the city and used it to power important buildings.

  25. Re:What?!!? on Another ATM Maker Pwned by Googling · · Score: 1

    Isn't it usually the vendor of the bank machine that fills it up? At the depanneur I worked at, an ATM company installed a Triton machine and every so often an armored van comes by to fill it up. I didn't know that convenience store owners could buy, install and stock their own machines.
