  1. I have a number of friends who bought a Mac and install Linux over it. Why ? The hardware is better engineered and battery life is stellar.
  2. On my second Mac laptop now, went from 13" to 17". 1) Scanner/fax drivers are an issue. Sometimes the included Image Capture app works other times you have to install the vendor drivers. Incompatibility between vendor drivers and lastest version of MacOS can cause freeze-ups. 2) A majority of hardware add-ons (voice to text, video recorder in, camera in), just work, but when they don't they really don't. Flaky bar code scanner for example. 3) Be ready to fork over some $$. Paid apps are cheaper then Windows and handing over the odd $20 here and $30 there adds up. 4) Games are an issue although the new Steam addition makes up for some of it. 5) Openoffice is compatible 90% of the time with Excel being the main trouble maker. 6) Use Firefox or Chrome, some sites (internet banking, provincial gov websites) can choke on Safari. IIRC Ministry of Transportation and ING Direct required you to use Firefox first to setup your account then you can use Safari after. Additional Comments:
  3. There was a knock on the door and this shivering pixie of a woman walked in wrapped in a coat and scarf. After a quick shower to warm up she emerged in a towel cocoon, snuggled beside me and we had a wonderful time talking about interpretative dance. Soon with a mischievous smile she lured me onto the privacy of the bed. I found Tricia a warm open no-nonsense individual. It was a joy to spend some time with her.
  4. Some ladies would classify this as a Dinner Only Date and might offer a different rate for this. Be-aware that this means no 'private time'.
  5. 1. how does "Sex worker" get classified ? compensation for sex ? 2. under what legislation would this fall under ? Occupational Health and Safety ? 3. how will this be enforced ? every "Sex worker" has to carry a visible tag ? It is always easy to throw out a statement before thinking thru things.
  6. Mod had mentioned in the past that one way to support this site financially is to purchase ads space either here or on escortscanada.
  7. Usually when you tell them its a cell-phone they quit bothering you. Canada Do not call Site US Do not call Site
  8. These things happen, it's rough and stressful now but after a few months you would be trading this war story with other sys-admins with a rueful shake of your head over a beer. As for Antlerman, a minute away from cerb is another minute well spent with his favourite Kleenex, have no fear of that!

    hmm.....a distracting view ;)
  10. ipad won't do chat I don't think. The 11" MacBook Air starts at CAD1049/-, 13" at CAD1349/-. Not pricey all things considered. However for half that price you can get a decent new laptop. Ignore the refurbish, not worth the hassle. tigerdirect.ca http://www.audiotronic.ca/Products/List/136 are also decent places to look at as well.
  11. What would your take be on targeted specials i.e. specials only towards members of the Forces ?

    Is that seat beside you taken ;)
  13. Most drug stores should have them. I know Shopper's Drug Mart does. However they are pricey as November mentioned.
  14. Thanks mod! Thought it was Bell, their Toronto Internet status was showing problems.
  15. Here is a recent reco for a lady from Candyland. http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=37549 I believe I've seen others as well in the Ottawa Recommendation subsection.
  16. Women touting for customers on a rural highway outside Els Alamus near Lleida in Catalonia have been told to don the yellow fluorescent bibs or pay fines of 40 euros (£36) under road traffic laws. Police claim the sex workers on the LL-11 road are not being specifically targeted because of what they do but because they posed a danger to drivers. The prostitutes are in breach of 2004 law which states pedestrians on major highways and hard shoulders must wear the high visibility garments. A spokesman for the regional police force, the Mossos d'Esquadra said: "In the past couple of months the prostitutes have been fined for two reasons: for not wearing the reflective jacket and for creating danger on the public highway." The move follows recent legislation introduced by Els Alamus town hall to ban prostitutes from offering sex for sale in public urban areas. The mayor Josep Maria Bea has been accused of mounting a campaign to drive the sex workers out of the area. An estimated 300,000 women work as prostitutes in Spain where prostitution is not illegal but profiting from the sale of sex by another is. Women wearing very little clothing and standing on roadsides outside towns and cities are a common sight across Spain. A recent survey found one in four Spanish men admitted to having paid for sex.

    Where ever you are its always summer
  18. Vegetable oil can and do cause allergic reactions. Crisco contains soyabean oil which is likely the offending allergen.
  19. "Years ago, when people heard somebody was a prostitute, they would criticize her very harshly, so girls who might want to copy her would change their minds," she said. "These days, people's attitudes have totally changed. They laugh at poor people, but they don't laugh at prostitutes." Full Article
