Strong SQL skills and can't do a select query or join tables... they probably spent the last 10 years reading Slashdot at their workplace

My bill in Vancouver is like 13$/month for my appartment but heating is included.

If you don't know how much time is remaining in the empty spot, you'll get another time slot. That's the way it works in Montreal. Also, you can't add more time to an existing parking. You need to buy a new ticket. 2 hours remaining, want to add an extra hour NOW well, pay for 3.

Instead of taxing 5$ for his lunch, the 12th grader will ask the 6th grader for his laptop. Seriously, isn't there a security issue with a 6th grader carrying a 1000$ machine with him at all time that anyone can resell on ebay? Just asking...
