I guess the US government will reopen in 2020 then.

Why don't they use the Canadian National Research Council bulletin? http://time5.nrc.ca/timefreq/bulletin_tf-b.html In Canada if a budget isn't passed it triggers an election. We don't have government sh

It does affect trust to some extent. For example I could have had control over a domain a decade ago, got a trusted cert, then let the domain lapse and MITM it later after it was acquired by somebody else with my still valid cert (if they n

There's an extension for SQL Server Management Studio that does it (MSSQL) as well. I don't think it's really recommended for prod DBs though.

Sometimes manufacturers put a bit of blue Loctite on the threads... makes the torque needed to initially 'break' the threads/unscrew a bit higher. I wouldn't be that concerned, buying a replacement screw kit for the HDD

Could one not argue this comment itself is a middlebrow dismissal? I don't think it makes sense to discredit comments just because they're not positive.

What other rights are there and how would they be enforced? I think you mean to say it's morally wrong or unethical and I might agree in some circumstances.

In Canada any party on a phone call can record without the consent or awareness of other parties. In the case of calling customer service, the agent you end up speaking to is very likely not the one actually doing the recording, but they ar

This article is about an incident in Toronto, which is subject to Canadian federal and Ontario provincial law.

It's single party consent, the party recording doesn't have to be present. If at least one of the people present at any time are aware of the recording device they grant consent by choosing to work on the vehicle, the same way you

I agree, I would fire the customer. That said I was asking OP what privacy laws he thinks were violated.

That's not a right granted by law.

I write and do all other stuff requiring dexterity with my left, but I use my right to operate a mouse. I can use my left as well, but I learned to use my right hand for convenience.

I've heard the same complaint about the USB flash drives failing. I run an ER-8 but have had no issues. I think it may have been a bad batch or something. Some people have also had issues after installing OpenBSD on them without limiti

Yeah, I don't get the link to Childhood's End at all. He should have gone with Terminator but I guess he was looking for a more sophisticated reference. As an aside, to anybody reading this that enjoys science fiction: read Childh

Just a heads up, for the OS section you are capitalising CentOS like 'CentOs.' The S should be capital as well. Cheers.

Cool to see LunaNode near the top. They're a great host. Cheap, responsive and reliable. Been using them for years.

The '9' prefix to reach an outside line likely corresponds to a specific outbound route that handles phone numbers matching a certain regex (generally length). Depending on how outbound routes were configured on the PBX a prefix m

That is very interesting, thank you. I am not a lawyer so anything I say is amateur speculation, but it seems like that case rules mostly on Ford's ability to arbitrarily reduce profit to shareholders by reducing or removing dividends,

There is no law (in any jurisdiction, as far as I know) that states a corporation must relentlessly pursue profits. An owner is free to stay out of markets for moral or other reasons without any strategic or financial justification. The onl

I had an issue with SendGrid where they deleted my client's account. The account had been created by a person in South America (at one of their offices) but with a Canadian corporate credit card. I guess they assumed it was fraudulent

The US DoD does have 2-factor authentication. Every user (every employee of the DoD, as well as contractors) has a CAC (Common Access Card) that they need to log into a computer, along with a PIN. It seems in these 3 facilities that were au

The War Amps key tag service doesn't require postage. You place any keys that have a War Amps tag on them in a Canada Post mailbox without packaging or postage and they get returned to the owner. It's been running since 1946.

Yeah that's true. The reason I haven't done it is possible collateral damage. Maybe a sticker that says 'Do not plug in.'

I've thought about putting this on my keys in case they are stolen.

I don't think GM would take that risk. They would draw the ire of the largest private-sector union in Canada and also the provincial and federal governments. They have 2 factories in Canada that don't have closures announced and s

Not sure how good of a move that is financially, but damn is that a good political move. If he took over the plant in Oshawa, ON he would gain goodwill from all 3 levels of Canadian government.

I personally don't find the traffic that bad as someone who commutes from Mississauga to Toronto every day, but maybe I'm conditioned to think it's normal. What city are you comparing it to?
