So someone could steal your car, steal your identity, destroy your business with a targeted hack, and you'd be fine with the police not investigating because there are still murderers and rapists out there? Alrighty then. Crime is crime and it all deserves to be investigated. Some crimes are worse but it's not like they put them in order, start with the murderers and completely ignore the rest.

I've only heard about it from friends and family. When they explain that their computer has 'slowed down these days' I can usually trace it to a single piece of shit software they've installed. Computers don't just get slower and slower. Something specific has to cause the slowdown and you can actually fix it.

Comment Re:The average speed has slowed down in Canada (Score 1) 111

I just drove from Edmonton to Ucluelet (near Tofino on Vancouver Island) and back. Road conditions were great. Hell, I'd even say they were perfect. BC has 120 km/hr speed limits on many stretches of highway now. There are good rest areas, some with picnic tables, proper bathrooms, and a concession truck - even in the middle of what seems like nowhere. I don't know where you got the idea that our highway system sucked but maybe you should come drive out west.
