Just who is going to be at the keyboard during this vulnerability? The PC owner.
No, the person with physical possession of the PC, which could be the person who stole it. Many computers are worth far less than the data they contain.
But HPE is the EDS part of the company - the one that's into outsourcing IT services. How is SGI relevant to that? Is HPE the part of the company that still owns their server business and so on? What does SGI bring to the table?
No, HPE is HP Enterprise. Networking, servers, storage, etc.
The real problem is storing government and federal data outside the government and federal infrastructure. Why is that? All data should be stored encrypted, even if in a canadian cloud. But I still don't understand why the government need to store it in the cloud and not build its own cloud for this purpose. What are the advantages for the government to store it in the cloud instead of in-house?
In a word, cost. The government can't compete with the likes of AWS.
Translation: I am about to say something incredibly offensive, on purpose, but because I say "no offence" first, it doesn't count. Kinda like the assholes who think that parking in no stopping zones is allowed as long as they put on their 4-way flashers first.
Your local sewer fee is cheap, but some places it isn't--and it's a monopoly you're totally beholden to, so if they have to install a new sewage treatment plant and rates skyrocket, there is nothing you can do about it.
If you are paying to have your sewage pumped, then in all likelihood those fees are going to rise proportionally to the sewer rates. Unless your sewage is being hauled to a different municipality.
Interesting. Here (Ontario), we get a two piece registration document, which you are required to carry with you when driving. One half is the "vehicle portion" and the other is the "plate portion". Unless you are leasing, you will always have the ownership (vehicle portion) in your name. There is no separate "title document" that is held back.
A lender will register a lien against the vehicle, but it's up to the buyer to check for one before handing over their money. There is a "used vehicle information package" that a private seller is supposed to get and provide to the buyer, which shows any liens, ownership history, etc, but not everyone does. An informed buyer will avoid those people.:)
I think it's largely random. We've traveled regularly to the US (from Canada) with our grandson since he was two, and had to show the custodial letter about half the time. Occasionally a 3rd degree, usually just a quick Q&A. Same thing with the dog - we always have his papers (immunization records) ready with our passports, and we've never been asked for them.
Come to think of it, the dog is probably worth more to the right buyer.:)
Hate those stupid gas pumps. Useless if your card is from outside the US.
Then go inside and pay like you would everywhere else you make purchases. It's not hard, and you rarely have to queue. I guess, being a 'murican, you're either too fat or too lazy to waddle over to the door.
Wouldn't it make more sense that the OP is a cross border commuting/shopping Canadian who buys cheaper gas in the US with his Canadian issued credit card?
'Course, he could still be fat and lazy I suppose.:)
Considering that Canadians call their currency "loonies", with straight faces, there is no need for apologies . ..
<pedant>
We don't call our currency any such thing. Nothing ever costs a "couple of loonies", it costs a "couple of bucks."
We do, however, call our $1 coin a loonie, based on the picture of the loon it carries. This is much like Americans who often refer to specific denominations by the name of the president pictured on it.
But isn't virtually ALL marketing "an attempt to draw psychological attention and curiosity toward " your product being better than your competition? How is this different than traditional advertising, or Apple's product secrecy strategy?

Do taxi drivers who make less than $50,000 have to charge GST/QST? No.
Yes, they do.
This is forcing small players to pay the same tax rate as larger corporations. This is an anti-competition tax.
They have to collect the tax, not pay it.

Thanks for the earworm.

Doesn't really help if the servers are in Canada but the people accessing them are in Mumbai does it ?
The people in Mumbai won't have the security clearance to access the data in the first place.
The beavers in the current one need some to periodically rest.
FTFY

My kingdom for mod points.
I am fine with Microsoft's terms of service allowing changes as long as they offer a full refund of any unused portion of the subscription.
Good, because they do. From https://blog.onedrive.com/oned...
If you are an Office 365 consumer subscriber and find that Office 365 no longer meets your needs, a pro-rated refund will be given.,/i>
No offence, but...

are your kids retarded
Yup, there it is.
Oops, I fed a troll. If it's an excuse to brag about my smart, healthy kids, then it was worth it.
Now if you had fed the troll a sardine, the internet might be a better place for us all.

Title and registration are two different things. Have you ever owned a car before?
Can you explain the difference for those of us who don't live in the US?

It seems like it's a Canadian neurosis.
Nope. The process for entering the US from Canada without proper documentation for a minor is just as rigorous.
The OP never said it was the US government...

Their only downside is being IP phones , when the local LAN goes down so do all the phones.
This happens often enough to be an issue?
And ON is really only Toronto.
My anecdotal experience comes from watching American TV and movies. Let's split the difference and call me gullible. :)

So RIM's not allowed to market their products now?
Some of us have jobs and can't hang out at McDonald's all day.
I work at McDonald's, you insensitive clod!
