The "D" size parcel bins can hold a package up to 30cm/30cm/45cm. which can fit a standard sized document storage box. Some setups include a few "C" size, which can fit the "medium" FedEx/Purolator boxes, or the legal sized envelopes.
The newer community boxes have several larger boxes on the end for smaller parcels. The key for them is dropped in the smaller mailbox it's destined for. You drop the key in the return slot after you fetch your parcel.
Most mail larger than a letter that I receive needs a signature anyway, so I'm always going to the local post office anyway.
Most scanners at airports and movie theatres I've gone to are all geared to read paper tickets, and require all sorts of intervention when you try to use the airline's app to display your e-boarding pass. e-paper would be a lot easier to read than LCD.
Apple didn't invent a lot of things. What they did was find a way to make existing things better in ways that made them mass marketable. Not the fastest, not the most feature rich, not the smallest, but enough of all three to make it appeal to a bigger slice of the market.
Now that Samsung has failed so miserably, Apple knows what worked and what didn't, and can better bring their design to market when it is ready.
IMHO Samsung failed to include the front-facing camera and the ability to play video. This is supposed to be a Dick Tracy watch dammit!
Before it was scrapped, the Canadian government had shelled out over a billion dollars to pay for the federal gun registry.
It was initially budgeted to cost a few hundred million. Why the bloat? Because they didn't factor in the cost of every single department and major player having a different computer system, and wanting integration with their systems, and they didn't want their individual departments to pay for it, or have to change their own internal systems. So it all got added into the registry's budget instead.
Correction: TFA says they can apply for REIMBURSEMENT. I don't know about you, but I don't want to pay $5000 now and then wait several months to get my money back.
Where registrar investigates
(4) If the registrar is of the opinion that an investigation under subsection (1) would impose an undue financial burden on the land owner, the registrar shall undertake the investigation. 2002, c. 33, s. 96 (4).
Nowhere in the law does it say they have to apply for reimbursement. They can challenge the order to hire the archaeologist by stating they don't have the funds to hire him.
It's not GOVERNMENT BAD, IT IS LAZY LEGISLATION! Whoever wrote the bill did a half ass job!
You must pay. Unless you can demonstrate it's a financial burden. These clauses are within a few lines of each other in the legislation. How is that lazy?
In some jurisdictions in Canada, the state will do some things to maintain the sidewalk/edges of your property (pay for repairs to concrete, maintain trees, etc) but you are still responsible for others (shovelling sidewalk, mowing grass, etc).
I was just thinking "wouldn't insurance cover this"?
Especially in Ontario. It's a known risk. Like building your museum on a known ancient meeting place like the Forks in Winnipeg. Bound to be tons of archaeological finds every time the backhoe scoops the ground.
Demand 100% perfection. That'll solve everything. And cost an arm and a leg. How much more in taxes are you willing to pay to never have to call them to say "hey, there's been a mistake"?
The Act allows for them to apply to the minister for an exemption, upon granting the state will pay the cost.
The law as written was meant to ensure companies are responsible for the archaeological costs incurred from digging up their land instead of saddling the taxpayer.
The Star is just ginning this up as their usual "GOVERNMENT BAD" drivel.
"This is largely a convenience feature implemented by Apple"
From what I understand, this is mostly implemented not by Apple, but by the carriers. AT&T iPhones come pre-programmed to "know" about AT&T hotspots, etc.
It likely won't work, as the elevator was selling the other seed as feed, not for planting. The farmer was banking on getting RR seed, because he knew the elevator didn't care what kind of seed went into the stuff for "feed/milling/etc".
He was trying to argue that first sale doctrine means the patent can't tell him he can't use the cheap seed for planting. Which is true. But the patent still applies because he can use the seed to grow more seed, and he knew it.
This isn't a case of a farmer's crop being cross-contaminated. This guy was deliberately trying to get around having to honour the plant patent by obtaining the seeds through other means.
Monsanto may have a case against the elevator for not heat-treating the seeds sold as feed to ensure they could not be used for planting. But the farmer does not have a case, as he was banking on the elevator not treating the seed.
The first thing they grabbed was the "emergency checklist" and started going through ways to restart the engines while the pilot attempts to maintain control.
Not every emergency requires in a split-second decision. Sometimes you actually have time to check the checklist, which usually has helpful steps to keep things calm while you deal with the situation.
In this case, it's an emergency in that if they don't get it fixed soon, they are screwed. But not an "OMFG bail out" kind of emergency.
Found many examples online. Basically a low-rpm motor turns an arm that pulls three wires attached to a foam head and wire arms draped in cheesecloth that has been soaked in detergent, suspended under a black light.
Looks wild, slowly drifting up and down in the window.
As TFA states, the "deathtrap" is due to the smaller cars being smashed to a pulp when they run into a gas-guzzling behemoth. People are buying big cars not because they need them or that they like guzzling fuel. And maybe not even necessarily because the bigger cars have more "oomph". But also because "driving a tank = I'm safer, especially from other tanks on the road".

As opposed to TFA, the actual law says:
Where registrar investigates (4) If the registrar is of the opinion that an investigation under subsection (1) would impose an undue financial burden on the land owner, the registrar shall undertake the investigation. 2002, c. 33, s. 96 (4).

TFA - the original one in The Star, that is - does mention the option to apply for financial relief. Helps if you read it before commenting on it.
The Star does that a lot. Gins up a headline, then reports the actual facts down at the bottom after they've finished editorializing.

It depends on the local bylaws.
It was written by the Toronto Star, so you're not far off...

The issue is that they are required to also have an archeological survey done to ensure there aren't other artifacts buried there too.

Instead of two cars being written off, the bigger car just gets a touch up. Sounds like less liability to me.
is not already costing drivers of big cars more in terms of liability premiums.
Because sadly,the bigger vehicle is actually suffering LESS damage, because they're hitting smaller and more fragile cars...
