You haven't heard some of the Conservative MPs going off when Harper forgets to put their muzzle on. They'd probably prefer to run for the Christian Heritage party if that party wasn't in the same popularity class as the Communist parties and the Libertarians.
Here, I can have my phone with one company, but have DSL on the line with another company - is that not the case in the US?
Nope. Phone companies are not required to lease lines to other providers.
They were required to from 1996 til 2006 until the supreme court declares cable providers provided "information services" rather than "telecommunication services" and were exempt from such requirements and the FCC reclassified phone company's DSL services to match in the interest of "fairness"
No, the publicly traded stuff is class A shares. They do have voting rights, 1 vote per share.
The insiders get the class B shares, which get 10 votes per share. That means that Sergey and Larry's 31% ownership translates into something like 80% of the votes.
The interesting thing is that I'm pretty sure the employees own a large fraction of the company, maybe even a majority.
I'm fairly sure having 80% of the votes could be considered a majority.
That's the joy of dual-class stock. Class B stock gets 10 votes per share and is only available to insiders. Everyone else is limited to class A shares, with only 1 vote.
Due to that, Sergey and Larry's 31% ownership turns into about 80% of the votes.
Unless at least one of them is onboard with you, any demand will be met with laughter.
Due to the way Google did their IPO, the shareholders don't really have a whole lot of influence. Sergey and Larry combined have somewhere around 80% of the votes because their 31% of the stock is all class B shares, which get 10 votes per share. The stock any random can buy is class A shares, which only get 1 vote.
Without their agreement, or at least one of them, any attempt to make Google do something is an exercise in futility.
Just waiting for a shareholder initiative to kill the 20% developer personal research time off. To soon be followed by demands of a new CEO that will outsource and reduce staff to improve sagging profits.
Any such attempt would almost certainly be doomed to failure as Sergey and Larry have the vast majority of share votes. Google's IPO issued dual-class shares. The ones anyone can buy are class A shares, which get 1 vote each. Class B shares are only held by Google insiders and get 10 votes per share.
Between the two of them, they have a little over 31% of the stock and about 80% of the votes.
I believe jails are smaller/lower security facilities for short sentences (less than 2 years) and pre-trial custody, whereas prisons are larger, more secure, and for longer term.
Witness the VW two valve engines which were designed with the SAME engine block and bottom end and and engine block capable of fitting diesel, carbed induction, and fuel injection components!
Shocking. An engine block designed to handle a 20:1 compression ratio running diesel can handle the 10:1 compression used for gasoline. Who'd have thought that?
Using a diesel block for gasoline results in a massively overbuilt, and thus long-lived, engine.
It also makes said engine more expensive unless you can sufficiently leverage economy of scale by using that common block for everything.
My figures were accurate last time I said it. I was going off an older 3GB/hour figure, which then becomes your number with their stated 23% reduction.
video streaming uses a lot, but still you have to work to get to 250GB.
Does 1 hour of HD netflix per day per person in a 4 person household count as "work"? As that'll handily blow through a 250GB cap in slightly less than 3 weeks.
I would instead propose we revive the buggy whip industry by having everyone on slashdot purchase one and use them on these jokers every time they say something stupid.
If you need a camera, you aren't driving well-enough.
Or you're driving an art-major-designed American car with a fashionable gunslit for a rear window and a trunk line so high you'd be lucky to see anything shorter than the CN tower.

He's a good family man
Other than the whole "affair and child with the baby sitter, who was of questionable age at the time" incident that lead to his divorce in 2008.

I see class action lawsuits in the future for these companies.
Won't work. The supreme corporate already ruled they can say no to being sued.

or the shitty ballot reader didn't work
so yeah, paper is great if it doesn't fail, electronic is less frustrating to do though.
Ballot reader!?
The ballot reader should be a room full of people with Mk1 eyeballs. Not a scantron machine that blows up messily if you use a #3 pencil.

T-Mobile execs are in the perfect position to stop doing it themselves.
Which they DID. Years ago.
Buy the phone outright or bring your own and you get a discount on your plan.
If there were a tld .bm I expect IBM would grab i.bm
There is. .bm is Bermuda.
However, you need to live in or be an organization or corporation registered in Bermuda to get a domain.

No, the CIMA is a different bunch.
The group formerly known as the CRIA changed their name to "Music Canada" last year.
What the Labels want, and what they will get are two different things.
Not with the Corpservatives in power.
If you're trying to teach them to use Linux for general purposes, I'd go with Mint. It passes the Aunt Tilly test with flying colors in my experience.
If you're trying to teach them about Linux and how stuff works, Slackware or Arch would be the choice.

Train wrecks are fun to watch.
Yes, from a distance, assuming the train isn't barreling towards your house.
It's all carp anyway.
There is no need to defame perfectly useful fish by comparing it to RIAA-member produced "music".

Diesel has been the same for a few years now since low-sulfer diesel was mandated.
Not sure what you mean about gas, unless you're looking at the octane rating, which is measured on a different scale.
If you need a camera, you aren't driving well-enough.
Or you're driving an art-major-designed American car with a fashionable gunslit for a rear window and a trunk line so high you'd be lucky to see anything shorter than the CN tower.
There are already ways to see if someone is behind you, called mirrors and turning your head around.
And activating your Xray vision to see through the trunk/tailgate.
It costs $10 million to install a guardrail?
That would be about 35 miles of guardrail. $10 million probably isn't too far off.
You're doing it wrong. Seriously, when you mirrors are _properly_ configured in a car you should NOT have ANY blind spots./quote>
Or the manufacturer is doing it wrong.
Example : 2003-2005 Chevy Cavalier. The mirrors physically will not adjust out far enough to remove the driver's side blind spot.
