Traffic shaping and deep packet inspection are nothing new for some Canadians. Close to three years ago I canceled my Rogers Cable Internet service because they were using deep packet inspection to throttle torrent traffic.
I hate the restrictions, and hope that the CRTC will implement a rule for Net Neutrality, but the chances of this happening are next to nil.
I'd like to say that people should cancel their service with these providers and move to a less restrictive service, but the number of choices available for open ISPs in Canada is shrinking every day.
The ISP I switched to Storm was recently bought out by a larger carrier ExplorNet, and my fear is that my service will see changes as well.
The only thing we can hope for, truely is that Michael Geist can defend our right to a Internet devoid of the restrictions and practices that the major ISP are forcing their paying subscribers to live by.
When creating your email account in Outlook on your laptop configure it to leave messages on the server that way when your desktop goes to download the messages afterwards they are still housed on the server.
Any large city in Canada should be able to sustain a private consultancy business, cities like Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver have a large enough client base that you might be able to do well, emerging cities like Halifax, Winnipeg, and Edmonton might be a good place to look at as they are emerging markets that have yet to reach their potentials.
When in doubt contact the local Chambners of Commerce and use the contacts garnered there to get your foot in the door. They are an invaluable resource and shouldn't be overlooked.
And don't be scared of Toronto, most of my family lives in Markham, Oakville, Pickering and their commutes are like an hour by Go.
Its amazing how many people have submitted f3789b3c1be47758203f9e8a4d8c6a2a to the site. I'm scanning the last 500 submitted, and i've found close to a hundred so far.
If your Digital Camera is CF then pick up this combo, use an Ipod as a photo library. Insert a CF card and transfer all photos on it to the Ipod's HD, and then clear the card for use again.
The way that Blockbuster and any other large rental stores work is on a profit sharing agreement with the different movie houses. Thats why blockbuster will order a hundred copies of a movie, and then offer Guarantee's that the movie will be there or next time its free. This way they don't loose money when the movie is all rented, and they don't have to pay the $80 or so dollars for each copy, like how the old system with VHS which was known as Priced to Rent, as opposed to when a movie was released to the public at $20, which is Priced to Sell.
This is also the reason why you can go to Walmart the same day it is released and buy the movie without having to wait six months after its released.
Hey there,
Where I work we ran into the same problem this summer, over 40 new systems in our server room, plus Ottawa's ability to have some crazy hot and humid summer days.
Our HVAC supplier mounted a Trane conditioner unit in the ceiling, and ran all necessary ducts to the elevator shaft only 20ft. away. Could this be a solution that fits your criteria?
I'm not to sure about wether or not Infinium Labs is truely legit. Where are the screen shots, the demo unit's, anything.
If Infinium Labs wants to prove the community wrong then they should put out or shut up. If this thing is nothing but a vapor in someone's coffee then they should stop wasting our time and get on with doing whatever it is that they have been doing.
I'm reading your post, and I can't help but wonder about something.
It would seem that Blade, and its Sequel have many of the same similarities to the WoD that Underworld has, question remains why WW didn't attempt to get a piece of that movie when it was released?
Hey there,
Well I've been using both Cisco and D-link AP's for a few years, and have had neglible problems with either of them.
In our house we are heavy wireless user's and there are times I'm streaming heavy video to one device or another, and have never had much degredation, or packet drops.
At this moment I am awaiting Apple to ship the G5's, and when it does I'll be interested to see how this new architecture works, as compared to my current G4.
What I'm awaiting is who will be the first to release the first 64-bit system for it.
Does this remind anyone when Apple first released the first PowerPC, and only like 10% of the code was optimized for it.
Sorry about that, we had a company come and do a line sight test between the house's and all the towers are around ten feet off the roof's of the houses.
And on the question of wether we tested these solutions. Well I live here in Canada, and we did the installations mainly in the middle of this cold cold winter we just got through. And we got through it without a hitch.
My next project is a to try to develop a community based network between my neighbours, and the surrounding area.

In response to ETEQ's question. I just completed a rollout between my house, my dads house, my cousins house and my uncles house of directional WIFI.
I went to the local home depot and picked up four of those exterior grade electrical boxes with seals around the door, and where the cables come into the box. Inside I was able to mount D-Link DI-604+ wireless router, two signal boosters. There still is tons of room left over to mount anything you could want inside, and its water proof, so no worries about moisture causing any damage. And to test the seals of the boxes, we tested each with all the equipement mounted inside, and then sprayed them with pressure washers for ten minutes and not a drop in signal quality.
When we built our house we built it with just this in mind, and the greatest investment we made was in structured wiring.
When we ran the LAN/Video/Audio/Voice through the house, we ran it all on a single cable that contained two CAT 5e cables, two coax cables, and a fibre strand for anything that might come up in the future.
With this setup, the wiring closet for the network, also became the distribution point for the satelitte, distributed video, PBX. And for internet/streaming audio/video I built small BSD boxes that connect the network with the TV's around the house.
But also keep in mind that WLAN is necessary as well, the video cameras in the house transmit over WLAN thereby elimating any cables to them, and we use it for our portable devices around the house as well (Laptops/Pocket PC's)
If someone installs a Wireless Access Point in their house and then doesn't properly secure it from someone accessing it, it is their own fault.
If you left your house unlocked and went away on vacation, whos fault is it that your house got broken in? If you don't take the proper precautions and secure your network yourself, then you only have yourself to blame if someone willfully access your systems and uses them for their own purposes.
I have no empathy for people who invest in this technology, but do no invest in the security that is required to protect yourself. The information is provided by the vendors for a reason, and it is the home users choice wether or not to use it. If someone has questions on how to do something, there is always someone, or something willing to answer those questions.
NH has drawn a line in the sand and has sided with those who use wardriving for one reason or another, wether it be malicious intent, or like myself who is interested in seeing the spread of this technology, and how well of a grasp people have on its security technologies built in.
Weird thing happened when I tried to reboot from Battery after applying the patch.
When my iBook 800 rebooted, I got the silver boot screen for 5 seconds then it turned off my machine. After a few attempts of it doing the same thing I tried to reboot with it plugged in.
Just an interesting note that the whitepaper in question has been removed from the web site. Started reading it yesterday and was unable to finish reading it. Slashdot effect?
Anyone have it saved, could ya send it to me at robert.fleming@rogers.com

I worked somewhere where usbdrv.sys was not installed on the machines thereby disabling the abiltiy of placing a thumb drive in the machine.

Will be interesting to see what it means.

Yet another of the non believers.
Go ahead and laugh, but one of these days we'll outnumber you.

1X is an enhanced version of CDMA, and offers transfer rates close to 3G in the proper situation.
No Competition means higher rates, no reason to lower them, who else are you going to go to.

I have also had some company's that their security policy only allows them to confirm that you were under their employ, and nothing more.

Just tried to search RPMFind.net and they have temporarily closed in protest as well.

But alas, Apple had the forsight to build Darwin, and Aqua for x86 as well as PPC, just in case.
Might be interesting to boot up my Athalon and see Mac OS X.
