They don't allow anyone to opt out of their "service" either. I guess if you want something from one of their customers, then maybe heading to a competitor would be smarter choice.
"But back to those privacy concerns. Some lawyers believe having a young traveller pass through the full-body scanners could violate child pornography laws. As a result, Canada is exempting passengers under-18 from the new measures."
And if I was a terrorist then I would be recruiting teenagers, which would be probably easier to polarize (and brain-wash) them would than an adult.
I don't see any way out of this, and exempting a group based on age would only encourage the bad people of the world to exploit them.
I live in Calgary (Canada), and the job market is definitely starting to pick up here. I was laid off from my previous employer in September, but within days had more interviews than I knew what to do with. And the money is starting to get better as well.
If you are interested in the job market in Canada, the best job site around here is http://www.workopolis.com/
If you have any oil or gas experience, then head to Calgary.
I think you could probably put a GB of stuff on a CD if I remember correctly. There is extra room on a CD for error correcting and compensating for scratching of the disks. I imagine you'll end up with a lot more coasters if you wanted it that way.
Whose to say that the malware doesn't have an executable renamed to a have a log extension, and the antiviruse skips over it. How trivial would it be to have a loader that does nothing except load "safe" files and do its bad things under the cloak of "but its a log file.... it should be safe".
Excluding any files on the computer is a bad thing, and needs to be discouraged.
The supervisor told me to call back and get tech support (from another phone), and if tech support can prove that I am in a marginal area and drops calls, then I can walk away from the contract without paying the $20 / month cancellation fee.
I am not sure why the coverage is so bad there, and they know its marginal. Its a pretty flat part of Calgary and no large apartment buildings around either.
Anyways, I hope that moving to Wind makes me happier, and the blogs on the website seem to show that they are listening to the gripes of the other telco customers, and coming up with plans that make sense. And if coverage sucks in one area, then they are building more towers or boasting the signal. The coverage isn't complete for Calgary yet, but they are working on it. I've seen a new tower betting built in the south, not sure if its a Wind tower, but I would guess it is.
Wind is even allowing the customer to tether their phones to your laptops and use your 5GB / month, and if you go over they don't charge extra or cut you off, then can throttle you down if things get bad.
Best of all, there is no contracts, but I do need to buy a GSM phone up front and pay full price for it, but hitting ebay or kijiji may be a better option.
And don't forget Bell's partner Telus. Between the 3 of them, they screw the customers without worry of losing them. If one customer gets pissed off at Bell and moves to either Rogers or Telus, then Bell knows they'll pick up a pissed off customer from one of the other 2.
They trade and share the same user base and abuse them to their hearts content, since we don't have a choice.
I would love to see the american providers get up here. Not to say that they would be any better, but more competition is a good thing.
I am in the process of getting off of Bell Canada and none too soon. I moved within Calgary, and the area I am in has poor coverage, so the phone drops calls continuously. After calling Bell to complain about the coverage, even though the coverage map says my area of the city is good, they said that I couldn't quit them since I didn't get their permissions to move (huh???), and its my fault the phone works periodically.
Anywho, I asked to get a supervisor and he got me off the rest of the contract and heading over to a new provider (http://www.windmobile.ca/) in the new year, and their rates are fantastic.... just hope they don't treat the customers like crap.
NASA initially estimated the energy that Apophis would have released if it struck Earth as the equivalent of 1,480 megatons of TNT. A later, more refined NASA estimate was 880 megatons.[2] The impacts which created the Barringer Crater or the Tunguska event are estimated to be in the 3–10 megaton range[16] The 1883 eruption of Krakatoa was the equivalent of roughly 200 megatons.
That is a lot of energy and potential destruction. Is there a plan to try and alter its trajectory to push it outside the 1 in ?????
With this asteroid coming so close to earth, obviously the flight path of it is going to change afterward. Any chance of this being captured in orbit? Or will this be flung somewhere else in the solar system? Or worse, coming back if it doesn't have enough energy to carry on?
Same here... the airports in Calgary and Winnipeg (Canada) all have free wifi throughout the departure areas. I can't remember if you need to click through a page promising not to do anything nefarious.
Although, browsing to slashdot in winnipeg's airport gets a banned page hosted by slashdot;)

Yeah, I definitely would tap that... unfortunately, I doubt that she'd tap me :(

Nope, the purse is made from my balls :(

The point is that the hidden payload doesn't get scanned by anti-virus at any point.

I live in Canada, and we have the .ca domain. But I've worked for several Canadian companies that have the .com suffix.

I should've mentioned that this was in the late 70s / early 80s.
It's a western thing too. I remember as a kid growing up in Regina having milk in ~2 litre bags.
The fiancé just read this over my shoulder, and confirmed that my package is getting fitted for purse material.
:,(
I'll miss my package
Ah crap... I just got engaged :/
Sadly, my girlfriend is control of my package and when I get to use it. :(
Not sure why this is getting marked as a troll as I found a couple of articles that talk about Apple's royality troubles.
