I doubt Targ gives a rat's ass about Yelp.

FTTP - fiber to the premises would be my guess.
Dry DSL means you don't have a phone line on the old-bell-line you just have internet
DSL is on the old-bell line

Worse, I feel these guys all prey on the weak - the elderly. My dad is pay $$$ for the worst service.

Its a way off-topic, but our car got robber for the 3rd or 4th time. Its time I start thinking of installing a video surveillance system (versus trying to remember to lock the car).

Anyone have any good suggestions - I'm a bit of nerd - so am looking for the DIY of surveillance stuff.

I still love the photo of the Baywatch cabinet which must have been from Kansas as they had painted granny panties on the swim suits...

Geez guys Thanks!

I compare the price of $1 a game to a Tim's coffee. I get a lot more enjoyment out of the game of pinball, and there's a lot more overhead in operating a pinball machine. Merivale Bowling alley has a great line up and is well worth it. And heck for $2 you get 3 games.

Thanks for the bad news Sylvain. You are like a pinball repair encyclopedia.

Encyclopedia - No kidding, the fact he probably did with the same ease I can sing the alphabet song.

There's also a big free family day at Nepean Centrepoint. I think the 25th anniversay - google it. Crafts, plays, games etc for the family - should be fun. Rick Mercer is there tonight.

Wear your MAACA shirts so I can say hi!

Cool - thanks for sharing. Looks nice!

Now here's a thought... Don't think your little prince or princess thrives on positive reinforcement and gets quite emotionally affected by failure? Don't think they are applauded for the most minimal of successes in life?... http://youtu.be/_lfxYhtf8o4 ...and YES, I DO think this is why SOME kids ...

Thanks all the MAACA folks that help keep this site going!

Sparky my avatar still makes me smile - and its because of your generosity.

Happy Birthday Sylvain. Enjoy the snow, a great excuse to play pinball.

How do you *$#?$# a spider on the wall?

Cool thanks. I was going to buy a nice pork roast, but figured the candy might start to smell.

Any idea where to buy food grade grease? I thought crappy tire would have it, the sell tires, oil, grease, milk, ice cream, coke, pots, pans - but no food grade grease.

Very collectable, but boring as crap. Twilightzone owns/owned one and could give a better idea. I personally would love one, more for the artwork and memories.

websherpa - Your best post in a while. Well done sir!

An icon around video games is retiring. Great photo...

Congrats Ian. All the best to you and your family!

He must know you are from out west where's there's oil :^)

I'm don't know prices these days, but I haven't been in this hobby too long and a nicer IJ than this sold for under $3k 5-years ago (I know irrelevant, I'm just shaking my head at the prices these days).

Happy Birthday Robert. Class act you Montreal guys! Well done!

Boxee is more or less dead. So I would avoid it (seems I always choose the losers). XBMC-based devices seem to be the best. Here's a recent thread - http://www.maaca.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=11732&start=0&hilit=XBMC As for streaming live sports, I've heard Navi-X can do it - but I've tried using Navi ...
