it exist primarly because a minority of English ASSHOLES wanted all the money and power and tried to screw over the majority of the people living there in the past.
And then across the border in Ontario there is no language police. You can setup a business where somebody only speaks language X and that's completely fine.
Please note that the Quebec language police have infected some border towns
It sounds like there is no audit process to ensure that transactions occur in a proper manner. Could this be happening at other exchanges and how easy is it to implement this bug without anybody noticing?
I have to spend 2 hr's getting down town to a switch site today. I will be doing this for over a week and its a waste. I am even using public transit as driving here would take even longer.
I call complete BS on it taking longer than 2 hours to drive into the city unless you live more than 100km away. Right now at 1:45 PM Google maps shows that in current traffic you can drive from Bracebridge (184km away) in 2 hours 4 min. I use Google maps almost exclusively when driving because it does a better job of local traffic than my TomTom GPS.
If you're in that 100km+ zone, like Barrie (cottage country), then making your way in by train will take 2+ hours. If you are in the 70km zone then it will take 1h 10min by train.
there are more and cheaper options than farther out
I will second this. The city has more competition and generally lower grocery prices. We don't have $1 slices here but the mom & pop quality is better than burb chains at the same price.
For small-scale transactions in time and value - e.g. turning $7 into BTC to immediately buy a CD - a relatively unstable currency is fine.
Stability of currency is absolutely needed for a vendor. If you had to change your pricing every 10 minutes how would you ever advertise anything? Would restaurants have dynamic menus with pricing that changes throughout the meal?
This made me wonder if they have a team of volunteer zealots working in church basements or paying an Indian call center troll slashdot inbetween calls.
Also, do you think years ago the Chinese hacked an NSA directors workstation, stole his 10 year plan, and got the Great Firewall of China first to market?
Do we trust that phone companies won't kill phones from delinquent customers?
The phone company can cut service and send it to collections. Depending on who owned the phone bricking it might get them into legal trouble.
Do we trust that media companies won't kill phones it decided were sharing copyrighted materials?
Again, I don't think there is legal ground to destroy property in a copyright case.
do we trust that the government wouldn't abuse this system and kill phones for other reasons?
Does the government really need to kill the phone? Couldnt they just kill the service? If they wanted to kill the phone what is preventing them from doing a remote wipe?
Lawyers will be the only ones making the money in this case. The settlement will be less than what it will cost for a day in court as the damages are capped.
You have a supply and demand problem. When demand is outstripping supply, you need to pay more to increase the supply.
Unless it is a perfectly elastic demand curve.
For example, I will give a billion dollars to kill yourself. Only you can collect it after the deed is done. No matter how much I increase supply, demand will stay the same; right around 0.
Didn't the free market invent bandwidth caps with overage fees to cover those users who download the most content? This was due to some absurd amount of 90% of the traffic was from 5% of the users who were downloading pirated material.
Fast forward 12 years and its the average user who is sucking down that bandwidth.
Im thinking that the people who have access to those computers wouldn't be able to get a USB key into the facility. They are likely the few people in NK that have a use for a USB key.
This is Jeopardy's nipplegate that keeps them in the news and relevant. Its been on the air for 50 years and this is the first time somebody has "played the game" as opposed to picking random squares or going at it sequentially top to bottom?
Is this something something that law enforcement, fire trucks, and ambulances could leverage in an emergency? Perhaps it would be used by Presidential convoys, visiting dignitaries and diplomats, or celebrities wanting to drag race.
Google+ was/is arguably a better product, and was taking off fast, until Google started trying to force real names.
Maybe its just me, but I though Google+ tanked because lots of people I know signed up for it because of the hype, but nobody used it. Reminded me of Google wave.
The polymer money has its detractors (it's slippery...
The slipperiness makes it harder to count as the money tents to stick together / not separate when counting. This means you should double count money that is given to others for fear of giving them extra bills.
When you get a loan from a bank, that bank creates the money they lend you on the spot. It does not come out of anyone's account, or even from the bank's money.
When I loan you money it comes out of my pocket. When the bank loans you money they "create the money"?!? Say What?!?

In this case, couldn't the police have asked the owner of the phone (the victim) for permission to track the device, negating the need for a warrant?
They first tried this experiment with Chatroulette only to find that the facial recognition software didn't work with cam pointed below the waist.

Your history book seems to be missing the first couple of chapters.
Anyone under the age of 30 who wants to make a life for themselves, in my oppinion, should live anywhere else in Canada.
Unless you go to university. Quebec has the second lowest tuition in the country. Somehow McGill classes are taught in English.

Google can learn the shopping habits - of EVERY PERSON IN THE WORLD - and relay that information to marketers.
The buzzword is "Comprehensive In-Store Analytics".

Fortunately a good number of workers in the US work in high density areas, and park in surface lots with easy access.
High density areas have parking garages or surface lots with automatic payment gates. This is not easy access. Postal trucks don't pay for parking.
my car is parked near where I catch the train
Ah, the "auto parts store".
Use all the time
Speedometer
Gas Gauge
Use when starting the car or when there is a problem.
Odometer
Battery Gauge
Engine RPM (Tachometer)
Temperature
Bulbs Out
Low Oil
Fuel Economy
Etc.

I make sure that my firewalls block all traffic to/from corporations such as Facebook and Google (even from my cellphones).
Sounds like a great internet you use. Odd that Dice isnt blocked.
