As a newbie to web frameworks, I found Flask was much easier to deploy and I understood what was happening compared to Django. I also found the documentation and support better than that of Tornado and cherryPy.

Yes. Additionally, the CIA has historically been able to perform their own para-military operations which is clearly outside of the scope (and budget) of CSIS.

Given the financial resources of CSEC, DND, and Canada vs. the NSA, I very much doubt we are so "surveillance crazy" as you may suggest. While I agree that we definitely should be worried about the potential for abuse by CSEC and

CSIS isn't really like the CIA at all. It's a civilian agency responsible for intelligence gathering and sharing that information with the RCMP to make arrests. Their officers do not carry weapons (only police and RCMP have that

4 Waterloo co-op terms would spread out over a course of 2-3 years. So the tax rate you fall under would differ from that of a full 16-month PEY because you may be making less money over the course of the same year.

I agree that the market exist for a no-ad, reasonably cost version of program X. I guess what I'm getting at is how do you try software without 30-day trials, ad-supported free versions, or having to pay a hefty price without test driving?

I wouldn't say it's necessarily an overall societal drain. While I'm not a fan of seeing ads, there IS value added when you get to use an app for free under condition the ad is served to you. And it stops most people from pirating the sof

I've used Windows 8 on an Lenovo X220 Tablet and would have to say that in terms of touch-response, it's incredibly accurate and fast. It's most noticeable in the Maps app where I can zoom in and out really quickly. And because so many of

I think this is an insightful post that is equally applicable to people in their 20s (such as myself). I've been asking myself the same question of what do I want to do in the next couple of years of post-graduation. But I'm at odds with

I disagree. Browser, Office, and a keyboard make a pretty compelling argument for lots of people. All they really need is a Facebook app (which is integrated into the People Hub) and it's what most people will really want. Then they also

Should mention in your title that it's $499 for the USD model. $499 doesn't really tell much about it and making comparisons to iPads are difficult given the lowest iPad is $499 for 16 GB. It should also be noted that Office is coming pre-

But it's not simply a question of money and having skilled people move to the highest bidder. The difference here is that we have high unemployment rates across the country, high unemployment for new grads, and a relatively small STEM work

But that's exactly what's already happening. What's missing from the equation is the "skilled" aspect. You can't just hire anybody. A tech firm needs to hire tech people who can do the job. The current problem in the United States is tha

I'd say both. Silicon Valley has no shortage of jobs. But Microsoft has the money for lobbying.

Raising the fee will only serve to benefit bigger companies (e.g. Microsoft) and hurt smaller companies, particularly startups, from hiring.

The sideways scrolling seems awkward for desktop-use with mice. I'd imagine it's more of a tablet-centric app that is Windows 8-metro inspired.

Do subsequent applications overwrite the old one? I want to apply now so I don't forget but I feel I could write a better application given more time.
