President of the United States: Okay who didn't arm their spaceship?
[Finland's representative slowly raises his hand]
President of the United States: Great, great. That's just great...
"More than one-in-four would text/talk with friends; 21% would read; 10% would sleep; 8% would watch movies; 7% would play games; and 7% would work. The rest of those surveyed said they'd just watch the scenery blow by."
Hmmm...those numbers don't look that far off from what I see from non-autonomous car drivers.
I like their response to the single question FAQ - Is my information shared?
- "No, under these new programs, we will not share any information that identifies you personally outside of Bell Canada and its affiliates."
Run this through the Corporate Speak Translator and you get:
- "Yes, we will share most of your data indiscriminately, but the data that personally identifies you will only be shared throughout the massive national organization of Bell Canada and anyone who pays enough to become an 'affiliate'".
Agreed, sorry no mod points to give. A bigger issue here is: misinformation wants to be free too. Maybe even more so than the useful kind, and I don't see an anonymous, hacktivist organization as a very useful source for reliable information.
After reading this CBC article (http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/story/2012/10/03/crtc-action.html) it wasn't apparent that the CRTC actually had any issue with the obvious fraud that was occurring, only that they had broken the Do-Not-Call List rules. Good to know the CRTC has our back.
The Greens in Canada have essentially no power but they do get media coverage. The best we could hope is that the NDP and Liberals will back this if it grows legs just to oppose the current Conservative majority. Tying health care and the environment to the IP issue won`t hurt either.
Under private insurance they will usually treat you until you run out of money and even a little more. Not saying it's fair but it completely contradicts your odd statement.
I don`t think this contradicts the parent post at all. In the US, the hospital will provide treatment up to and beyond your insured limits but the (very expensive) liability is yours if the insurance company can weasel out of it.
I'd pay for the Woosh channel. Unfortunately, it is probably packaged with the Real Time Gardening Channel, Out of the Closet TV, The Vegan Food Network and The New Age Shopping Channel.
Agreed, I'm in a hard core Conservative riding and wouldn't expect even a show of understanding on issues like this. Personally, I think most of the more vile amendments were used as smoke-screen to make us think we "won" something, and that the DRM locks are a minor concession that we can live with. But we know who the groups are that proposed those amendments (see Geist's blog) and the real backlash should be directed at them.
Nah, by the time "the long run" comes around all the real money is safe in off shore accounts of upper management and primary investors. By that time the lawyers fighting health claims are just draining the retirement funds of the people they are representing. Once all that money is gone the company folds and everyone goes back to blaming the government for everything.
I can tell you that there is zero chance the NDP would pass such a bill.
..and about as much chance that they would have the opportunity. But even in that fantasy world (which I support) Canada is tied so strongly to the US economically that even the NDP would likely be very cautious and gracious in sidestepping the wishes of the US.
A clear case of vehicle stereotyping, my 10 year old Saturn neither rusts, nor dents. Can't help much with the laptop issue but I wish someone would bring back the polymer side panel.

Really? When you're squeezing an orange and not getting enough juice out of it, do you squeeze it less?

If the CEO and all upper management were part of the fired half it would be easier news to hear.

Really... state your source.

My people also have a saying: "F*$@ EA, even when their right."
I have always wondered how much money the studios have.. wasted on copy protection and huge legal teams over the years.
All of it.
