So I come at this with a bit of knowledge given that I've worked in the industry, and on some of the projects that have been mentioned in the article. Remember that smart meters were introduced in 2004/2005. The province had just been through deregulation and the blackout. There were threats...

Hit up Holt Renfrew Last Call up at Vaughan Mills. I've bought my last two suits there, spent no more than $500 a piece on them, and they're both "name" suits. You might have to do a bit of looking to find a Boss or Armani (they do exist there), but it's worth the trip if you can find one.

From what happens in other jurisdictions (like California), the higher rate is a premium for consumption above and beyond your normal usage. The idea is to use the stick approach (as opposed to the carrot) to encourage people to cut back on their consumption. Without going into the gory...

Agreed, and this should have been around when the market opened in 2002. But the technology to do this in an efficient manner hasn't been cost effective, either from the consumer point of view or from the utility point of view until recently. Smart meters are only now gaining widespread...

Okay, here we go.... With any retailer, they are only selling you the commodity. That is, the contract is for one line on your bill called "Commodity" or "Energy" or something to that effect. The rest of your charges (Delivery, Debt Retirement) are not covered by the contract and you'll get...

I've noticed that my torrent speeds have been complete shit the past week or so. They're all over the place, sometimes it's 40+k/s, sometimes no transfer speed at all. My uploads are crap, which is beginning to affect me on ratio sites. Rogers is my ISP. Using Azureus, had my ports open to...

actually, it's www.theguvernment.com

Having been on the other side of the phone and trained on PIPEDA (Privacy legislation), you have to comply with a customer's request for any and all information on their account. That's financial information, usage information, and even any notes that are attached to your account. We actually...

Bonds is the oldest to win an NL Batting Title @ 40 years, 71 days (which also makes him the oldest player to win a batting title) Gordie Howe is the oldest to win the scoring title at 35

I wouldn't exactly call Snopes obscure. It's widely acknowledged as the site to go to in order to debunk hoaxes (or at least it has been as long as I've been on the net)

Much worse than Zaun at the plate (based on last year's numbers). Batting average was 15 points lower, OBP was more than 70 points lower, and slugging around 50 points lower. A lot less walks and a lot more strike outs. Defensively, he's a better catcher (again, based on last year's numbers)...

Um, Thomas has always been a big boy, even when he broke into the big leagues. If he was on the juice I would think a) the nature of his injuries would be different (he was sidelined with an ankle injury, which I don't think is typical of steroid users) b) would have been injured earlier in his...

It is a commonly held belief, Kenny Williams' comments aside, that Thomas could be disruptive in the clubhouse. Don't know if that was a function of his personal problems or just personality, but that was the reputation. As for the ring, Thomas has one with the Sox in 2005. Personally, as a...

Assuming you transferred all of the music through iTunes... Connect your iPod to the computer Instead of going in through iTunes, open up Windows Explorer The iPod will show up as a drive Open up the iPod in Windows Explorer. I can't remember what folder the music is in, but if go through the...

Audacity. Nice and free :)

Actually, we do have privacy laws here in Canada, with the maximum fine of $50K for every violation. However, something like this would not be seen as a breach of those laws. By removing "identifiable" information such as names, locations, IP addresses, you're not revealing specific...

Universities don't (or at least shouldn't) give that information out without the student's written consent (I would think that if they did they would be in violation of PIPEDA). My current employer has made it a condition of my employment that I provide a copy of my transcript mailed directly...

Having just gone through the hiring process (albeit it was through campus hiring, so they knew that you were getting your degree), companies won't verify each and every resume that comes in. Once you get closer to getting an offer (or sometimes after you receive your offer of employment), the...

Search the Technology forum and you'll find a couple of threads on this Personally, if you're looking for music, I recommend Soulseek (www.slsknet.org)

Agreed, but someone out there has to be seeding what you want, and you have to be able to have access to the tracker (not all of the stuff is "freely" available). That's the beauty of P2P, is that you can passively share (leave a folder open and let people take) as opposed to actively share...
