    Watch them start their own number station. Try and block that.

    It's the same here in Canada. Mandatory "basic cable" which I don't watch, or even want to support (I'm looking at you CBC and Sportsnet). If this was available in Canada, I'd probably buy it. As for now, Youtube is my go-to for documentary programming.

    I doubt that any other economic system would do any different. Someone will just bury the problem, or pass it off to someone else.

    Most likely true. As far as I know, there is no separate bank account for stuff like "environmental fees". I'd be surprised if even half those monies collected go back to recycling. If there was a better place to live in Canada, I'd be there. As it stands, BC is probably the best place to be.

    It's worse in Canada. I'm still paying $35/mo for 500MB and my choices are other overpriced, established carriers or non-established carriers with poorer coverage and call completion issues, but cheaper plans.

  7. Your insightful and cogent argument have convinced me that your position is more correct than your opponents.

  8. Sorry, and You're welcome. We're just trying to help.

    There are techniques using BGP and community strings to do this sort of thing, but not everyone has deployed it and it's difficult to set up properly.

    That's crazy. Everyone knows that in order to move a planet you need to harness the energy potential difference from between normal space and hyperspace.

    We have more land per person in the world, why shouldn't we also have more IP addresses per person?

    Telus is offering native ipv6 as well. Teksavvy, by extension, is also offering native IPv6 when using Telus as the carrier. Shaw is still stuck in ipv4 land though, which prevents Teksavvy from offering ipv6 on those links.

    I got to do the damned thing twice this year. Once because they thought my PO Box was an apartment. Another because they sent one directly to my home. I filled out both truthfully and marked "0" as the number of residents at my PO Box. The other, I filled out with less than clear answers.

    Front tech-bench employees got into a routine of charging $60 for a diagnostic on any computer problem (non-refundable). For a virus, they'll run an anti-virus scan ($30), which fails to remove the virus, and cease trying (manual removal gets disciplinary action from the tech supervisor). They inform the user that he needs an OS reinstall. That incurs $70 for a back-up service and $60 for an OS re-install. Then it's $30 for each additional software--if you want your new OS to not die immediately, you'll pay $30 to install anti-virus and $30 to install anti-spyware, plus $30 if you wanted MS Office installed again. Everyone who walked in was $300 of sales.

    It's cheaper to buy a new machine at this point.

  20. My country was having a problem with a certain central american country's citizen's coming to this country as tourists and never leaving. We solved the problem by requiring all citizens of that particular country to apply with our embassy for a visa before they could enter the country. Anyone arriving in our country from that country without a visa was immediately reboarded and returned to their country of origin, at the airline's expense.

  21. >In a matter of fact, I would bet that the two new streaming options CRAVE and SHOMI owned by the already dominant Canadian telecommunications companies Bell and Rodgers, will have great big shit eating grins on their stupid duoloplistic faces...

    Given their ownership, it gives me even more reason to NOT subscribe to them.
