Just a quick note about your comment on pre-2002 versions of Office. Office 2000 will notify you when you are trying to pass the 2GB limit IF you have patched it to SP3 level. We found that one out the hard way on several clients in the past...
Not quite, as I understand it the CRTC mandated that Bell and Rogers have to offer their lines to resellers.
If you start a company that wants to resell the Interweb you call up Bell and they'll sell you X number of DSL lines. I believe last time I checked they sold a DSL line for 24$ (according to the ISP I worked for) so the profit for the 3rd party is next to nothing usually.
I'm sure there is a minimum amount you need to buy, I have no idea what that is.
This is incredibly simplistic but hopefully it gives you an idea as to what's going on, or maybe I made it worse...
I've rarely seen more than one. Again this just might be an Ottawa thing. The market may just not be there.
Sorry I was counting basically every spot at the station, 1 pump to feed people on each side. So 8 would probably be more accurate (more or less) with all 3 grades is the norm around here. But we're not a small town:) The Esso with diesel by my place has one stand alone diesel. And it's in between 2 gas pumps so it really does make it a little annoying if you are waiting for gas and diesel people to filter through. Particularly if diesel cars pick up in popularity
As I was mentioning, with the other guy in this thread, it would be great to see a little more dedication to diesel I think it would help drive home the convenience of diesel just being there without you having to find a specific place where to get the fuel.
Anyways, I hope I'm getting my point across, basically it would be great for diesel if it was a mindless purchase, where you didn't have to go to specific station. Where you could go to literally any station and get whatever fuel you need.
Absolutely bang on for long distance trips, of course they all offer it.
What I covered in a reply to someone else a couple minutes ago is the 1 pump factor. There isn't the offering of like there is to gas it's painfully out numbered to regular gasoline. If diesel gets more popular people will get annoyed waiting for that 1 pump when there's 10 cars. Only then will the service stations "upgrade" their offerings. I do look forward to that happening hopefully sooner rather than later. But it will only happen after North American's get past what diesel used to be like in their heads.
Naturally the market is mostly regular gas for damn near every consumer car. Again for me diesel's problem is the perception that people have over it being dirty, and the lack of "convenience" compared to gas when you need it.
Anyways, back to your original point. I'm with you for pushing a full diesel engine, it's just we need a more convenient infrastructure to get it in to peoples heads that they don't have to give filling up a second thought.
It's not really a myth when there's only 1 pump compared to 15 for gas. I would be pretty annoyed if there happened to be 10 other diesel-ers who needed gas when I did waiting for that 1 pump
The penetration of diesel, at least at my local pumps, is hardly what I'd call convenient at those ratios don't you think?
That's where I am, I was basically referring to the Esso at March & Solandt. I think there's only 1 pump there, and I don't think the Shell down the road has any.
It's obvious that there are points for these people to fill up but I was aiming at conveniences in my post more than anything. With diesel you actually have to figure out who offers it, it's not as "mindless" of a service as gasoline is where no matter what station you go to you are going to get what you need.
I really do hope that we change the way we think about diesel. Increasing the amount of fuel up points would certainly help with adoption I'd think!
Hopefully this makes sense my body is making me pay for drinking the pain of the Sens game away last night... lol
Judging by AC's reply of my post I guess not. Seems the music I had used an older Apple DRM on it and that's probably why it worked. Looks like the new stuff no worky.
Keep at it, I had a Tecra 8000 that only had the nipple, up until then I hated them. Now I can't live without it. The only time the trackpad gets used on my T42 is if the gf is checking her e-mail.
Exact same issue on the girlfriends notebook. IE7 is a dirty pig, didn't need to be open to slow the system down. I reverted her back to IE6 and got her on Firefox which has restored most of her sanity.
I get those on my T42 as well but I think those are really just static electricity. I've got carpet in most of my house which I'm sure is to blame. Then again I know dick about electricity and hate working with it.
I've never felt a "buzz" or anything like those sucke^H^H^H^H^H poor Dell owners.
Easier said than done? I thought power was available only in Business class and up? Not economy where us slags travel:) Or have Air Canada and WestJet just left me jaded and cynical.

Dude - www.canadianisp.com
I found my replacement for Bell there, 3Web (or CIA, same company) Cable (rogers reseller), 5Megs, 34$/m taxes incl...
Hope that helps!

Infrastructure I would tend to think. There is only 1 diesel pump near my house and I live in a thriving high tech sector in Canada.
People still equate diesel with the memories of what they were in the 70's, loud, dirty, etc...
Modern engine run like a gas one more or less but getting that in to people's heads has been tough.
Certainly wish I had one in my car, but I'll suffer with my 3L V6 until I'm tired of paying 1$/L every week or so...
Looks like Harper is about to pop in that picture...

Shows how much I pay attention, thanks!
Try J-Hymn brother! That's what I've been using worked pretty damn well so far
I don't recall what their father was like since Fidel is Raul's BROTHER.
Would you like to come to my work and see the stack of Toshiba's that died in or around a year of ownership?
Not an Apply fan boy but they make some quality hardware.
Toshiba hasn't made a reliable laptop (for my money) since the Tecra 8000.
... And will still somehow beat out the NHL playoffs in ratings...
Well played sir.. I wonder how many people that will woosh over...
Man I don't even want to know what .AS tastes like...

You can adjust the sensitivity of it too.

Glad I switched my company over to ThinkPads!
Good to know!

lol. Glad I'm not the only one remarking that in games
Sir! We're at beige alert!
You should look outside sometimes, the graphics are awesome!
