I'd imagine some of the cartels might if they use this network to resist them.

Ha! You could use the same phrase to describe the situation in Canada and the USA wrt the phone companies.

Even if you have to hold your nose, Vote NDP next time. At least the leader has half a brain more than no brain Trudeau. I'd normally vote Conservative (they use to be like Democrats in the US). But I can't do it now. Too many reasons to count why.

America holds foreign nationals guilty and/or accountable to American courts for crimes committed outside the United States all the time.

Yes, and Obama was elected in 2008. So why the fuck didn't they do it then. Also, why didn't they pass an affordable care health act then as well. Because the Democrats are incapable of working together, and/or are in the same pockets of business as the Republican are. There are a lot of things they could have done in that short time. But they fucked it up.

No but the guy proposing this circles Uranus... har har har

Also, you have a contract with your cell phone service provider. You expect your calls and information to go through their towers, not some rogue FBI tower. This is just like wiretapping by inserting themselves into the line.

It can't be historic until they actually land... never mind take off.

School boards spend hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars on 'Smart Boards'. Why? Someone told me it was so they can make learning more fun, make a game of it. WTF? I can't stop thinking that these things are freakin waste of money. Money that could be spent more usefully like in paying teachers better in the U.S. (they're overpaid in Canada). Or on better facilities. Or school lunches for underprivileged kids. etc. etc. etc.

English and French are official languages in Canada. Quebec only recognizes French. Quebec is a province, not a country. Not a nation.

Readers absorb less on Kindles than on paper, study finds http://www.theguardian.com/boo...

Exactly... it all depends on the audience. Early on the audience was a bunch of uber geeks who enjoyed playing with low level code and devices. Now the Linux audience are people who have everyday jobs to do and want an operating system and bundle of programs to help them do that. They don't care about building tools, just using them. And it gives them an option from MS and Apple products. Server or Desktop.

English is a German language (Anglo Saxon from the Germanic tribes that went to England some time after the Romans). It has been infused with French because of the Norman invasion, and maybe the proximity. English:German - cold:kalte, dog (hound) :hund, free as in beer:bier. etc. What's up:Was ist Ios?

The Quebec Language Police will maintain the purity of the French race in Quebec. Especially at salad bars.

Instead of spending this level of effort on each recruit, why not hire someone who is bright in North America and train them. Have you ever stopped to consider that employees will be once again loyal to the company if the company demonstrates that they are loyal to them? People have very little loyalty any more precisely because the MBAs turned employees into 'human resources' to satisfy shareholders in the late 80s.

So you are saying you only hire people from India because they have all the skills you want on their resume? And you say this will save you money? If not, where do you get these people with specific skills? Out of thin air?
