Bingo. WHY this was tagged "privacy" by some is beyond me, we're talking about tracking PUBLIC services, not citizens.
I recall a news story locally last year about a City truck, and 4 or 5 employees, who took an entire 8-hour shift to fill 1 pothole. I mean, I KNOW we get big potholes, but no way are they THAT big.
I, for one, welcome our new letter-writing Canadians.
Kidding. I wrote an email to the Minister of Industry, and was just about to mail out a paper copy to him. Looks like I don't have to send it out now.

Building 7? I thought there were only 2?
Well, where else are you going to breathe it?
Sounds kinda like a MUD to me.
As opposed to?
Actually... Nevermind.
Sounds like somebody needs an upgrade.
Go fly a kite.
Warkiting, anyone?
Nah, those chips just failed their saving throw vs. death.
You must have the "polite" version of FreeBSD.. Mine would call Vista something quite different.
NES/SNES controllers don't have analog sticks.
Good point; however, the cake was also a lie.
