Why bother tapping into the optic nerve to intercept the signal from the retina. We already know how to capture HD images wIth CCD technologies. What we need to do is design a CCD that would capture the image coming through the eye's lens without interupting the image's path to the retina. This advanced CCD would have to capture photons in a different way from existing CCD devices. The captured signal would not interfer with the retina and the device would be able to transfer the image data wirelessly to your computer.
Another method would be to develop and install an artificial lens behind the eye lens that would split the incoming image and direct one of the duplicate images to the retina and one to a CCD located somewhere in the eye.

I agree with you dude, I found this by googling "Canadian ISPs are fucked" I can't stand their bullshit. I too remember unlimitted download.

I now share with a roommate, under his bill but he tells me they even lifted the cap off download limit so now its just a flat $1.00 extra per GB on Cogeco at least, I don't know about the rest.

Lets look at Cogeco bullsh*t. If you're like me and don't care about an "HDTV" package you would basically pay $109/month flat out for...

55Mb/s download
unknown upload, but generally 1Mb/s and they dont even bother to advertise it.
When I do download tests I get 14Mb/s even at slow times (ie: 10:30am)

250GB of monthly data transfer for $109 freaking dollars. They keep doing promotions (buy our other 2 services get bla bla price for 1 year then we jack it back to maximum)

On top of such, we charge $1 extra per GB with NO cap

From their fine print

"The Ultimate 55 High Speed Internet Package offers a data transfer capacity of 250 GB per month. Additional usage fee for Internet usage is $1.00/additional GB without monthly billing limit."

FUCK YOU CANADIAN ISPS HOW DOES THE GOVERNMENT LET YOU GET AWAY WITH THIS SHIT

Yeah that venu isnt a bad spot at all.. Great as far as im concerned... Plus the pit is like the first 15' and the there is plenty of room... I think you may have had 18 too many beer and your brain could not prosses the actual distance. That place kicks ass and 15$ parking thats secure... Thats cheap a hell. Who really complains about $15 parking in toronto for several hours with the knowladge that your car is safe?? Morons thats who...

Internet in Canada is like buy a case of water (24 bottles). You pay X amount for the case but have to return unused water at the end of the month. The store then turn around and sell the unused water back to you. I studied data communication and I sure it cost less that a penny to transmit 1GB of data, especially with fibre. I have a similar problem with these telecom companies charging for incoming call, text messaging and caller ID.

Hey, maybe that WAS God!

Well the wait was about 10 or 15 mins if I recall correctly and there wasn't that many people waiting for the bus...granted I got onto it at like 10 pm so take that into consideration in terms of volume of people and frequency of bus.

Re: Everything to do with Fred show

Chris Brooker — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 15:05:35 -0000

But how long is the wait? and how long is the line of people trying to get on? I actually don't know. Cuz the only times I've gone (twice) I've driven.

For future reference you can take the TTC 72a Pape from right outside Union to Cherry Street & Commissioners then walk south on Cherry to Polson St and walk down Polson to Sound Academy...its an 8 min walk according to GoogleMaps...I've done it a number of times, it's not great but not terrible. http://goo.gl/maps/hEr7 I actually did it the night before (Thurs) for the Amsterdam Kegger thing.
