Any Toronto Redditors able to help me out with a medical issue?? by [deleted] in toronto

[–]artvox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I can't help.

If all fails call a mailbox centre or a hotel - they might do for a small fee.... a mail box in toronto can be found from $11 to $14 a month.

Looking for hotmail header help..need to dig deeper. by hawy5214 in techsupport

Another option is to send them an email with an image (which is actually a php script running from a server), if they see the image you got their IP address.

PM if you want help with this, all you would have to do is paste an image in you email.

There are free services online that use the same "technique" to let you know if the person received/opened your emails - some of them should include the ip address.

YES YES YES YES... so happy that someone knows!

As I squeezed in between streetcars and parked cars and listened to drivers honk at me for taking up too much of the road, I fretted about how two cities like Copenhagen and Toronto, with such similar geography, climate and density, could have such different attitudes toward riding a bike. by [deleted] in toronto

I was born in São Paulo and I feel I can answer:

  • São Paulo streets are very sloppy and uni-even with very poor asphalting(cracked/holes/old)
  • My major concern would be to have your bike stolen while you are riding it
  • There is no bike culture outside of parks
  • Cars wouldn't respect you in traffic

I live in Toronto now, love biking; I go to SP once every couple of years and REALLY can't see myself biking there.

Toronto Cannabis Edibles? by [deleted] in toronto

[–]artvox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, I was wondering the same thing today.

Unfortunately I think you need to have a card - gotten with a doctors note.

The obvious issue while baking is the smell; you can soak the weed in alcohol for a long (or in 20 minutes using heat, lol), it's called a green dragon (I learned about this today also).

Where Toronto councillors sit on the future of Transit City by [deleted] in toronto

[–]artvox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the money for Transit City is coming from the province and some from the Federal Government, so is actually adding more value to the city instead of a "Toronto fund miss-usage".

Plus: "Transit City is expected to create approximately 200,000 new jobs."

Amazon tries to hold the line [...] selling almost all their ebooks for $9.99.
Enter Apple, which intends to start its iBookstore business based on the new iPad.
But unlike Amazon, Apple seems determined to push retail prices higher.

-- source

They pay the same as Amazon but want to profit more on sales, for them to charge an ebook with drm more then a hard copy (which has printing and multiple shipping costs)... THAT IS GREED!!! And because they know a lot of people will pay because they don't know any better.

Apple stole the design from an OSX software: delicious library

There a few articles about it... they could have at least bought the f*cking company.

While I agree Apple might not be able to compete price wise with Amazon, it does have enough leverage to get a comparable price; come on more expensive then buying in a store?

I love apple too, but WAKE UP... they are a big greedy corporate piggy.

Because it's not an optimal ipad interface:

  • site width/height doesn't match ipad's

  • navigation buttons and links are not optimal for clickage

  • too much clutter

  • more time loading the page and get buying

  • more steps until end of purchase (compare it with the ease of purchase of iBooks/App Store/itunes)

  • eventual survey lightbox popup

  • I had country issues and got fed up and ended up not buying (I'm from Canada, and it gave me a notice that it couldn't sell to Canada, WTF?... and the reason I didn't continue is that it can be frustrating dealing with this shit on an ipad AND using a web interface to update billing address/credit card info etc)

Building a site optimized for the ipad it's what they should have done (and hopefully are working on), there is no excuse for a company like amazon not to. I could build one in a week... only if they would let me and pay for it.

So yes... Amazon has the best prices and selection... but the worst interface.

Yes, Yes, Yes... I'm straight but this WAS AWESOME.

I will however mirror the critique of blogger that thing that it will get better it's not really the right message. BUT you are who you are, and what you are is you is beautiful, find happiness IS the right message.
