...or you're just not looking hard enough for an internship. As a comparison, I was earning $12-14USD (adjusted for exchange rate) 2-3 years ago as an engineering intern. Also, internships should pay more than your previous. If you'd be taking a pay cut to work at this place, then you're probably not going to learn anything. If you received your certificates since your last internship, that's even more reason to pay you more. Expect to be treated as a junior member of the staff. Yes that can mean go-fer and make-work projects, but they'll be tasks related to your job, not getting coffee for the more senior members of your team. In return, you should be treating this job like it's a permanent one. That entails you to certain rights, like the same dress code as everyone else, the same breaks and lunches, and an appropriate office space. You're better off looking for another job.

What, there's a town hall meeting in Halifax? Why wasn't I informed of this earlier? As a side note, at least the CRTC doesn't equate traffic shaping with throttling like a Reuters article I read earlier.

Completely agree. We haven't even fully figured out what Rush's ulterior motive is (if he even has one)! Let the guy grow a bit first. Creating a spin-off that's still accessible to a new audience is a tough act to pull off, especially in sci-fi. TNG managed to do it, but they had some lackluster season 1 episodes before really picking it up later on.

The Chronicle Herald has another article on this. In it one of the county councilors (or similar) says that the tower can be avoided by 2 kms of cable, something I find highly unlikely for a number of reasons. This ignores the point of the tower, which is to provide ubiquitous and cheap high bandwidth (I'm talking at least 10Mbps) internet to 99% of the population of Nova Scotia. Around a third of the population lives in the capital area, which along with other urban areas in the province has easy access to high-speed internet. However, nearly half of the provincial population is rural or very rural or extremely rural (like half an hour down a dirt road from just a corner store rural). Now some of these areas have access to digital cable and therefore cable internet (hell, some can even pull a decent DSL connection), and therefore, the towers are not needed. In Victoria Harbour, however, which is 30 km (straight line) from the closest town that could be reasonably classified as urban, is not one of those locations. The cost for Eastlink to ensure that the cable to every house (if it exists in the first place) is capable of carrying the higher bandwidth required for internet would be prohibitive to begin with, not to even mention replacing old and stringing new cable. The tower makes much more economic sense, as the costs associated are stringing one cable (which may already be in place) and erecting the damn thing. This also ignores the fact that many other such towers have been erected in primarily agricultural areas of the province with no ill effect. Some of you may have already eaten blueberries grown not 50 meters from one such tower. Okay, maybe not, but the point still stands. This one farmer doesn't understand the science, let alone the economic benefits to the area, behind the tower. I really hope Industry Canada overrules Kings County Council.

That's not the point ^^ was making. Give us a relatively cheap ($30-40US) app with inexpensive (or even free) map packs. You download only the the maps that you need for the foreseeable future, and save a lot of space on your iPhone. Say you live in Maine, but are taking a trip to NYC. Then you would download only the New England maps. Going across the country to San Fransisco? Download the maps between Maine and California, but not any of the Canada, southeast US, or northwest US maps. You would save a lot of space, and probably some money as well.

Techdirt has a post saying just this. Cuban fails to realize that all his arguments don't apply to only free models, but rather any business that sells a product or service, regardless of the price (free or otherwise).
