been waiting for another worthy Shaolin epic since watching Shaolin Temple 1982 starring a young Jet Li .. shaw brothers satisfy.. def. excited to see the new Shaolin

>> ^EMPIRE:

The guy accused of triple homicide, Shaw, who Louie interviews at 9 minutes in the second part, makes me think. Here is a guy, accused of killing three people, who has a will to put his thoughts on book, and learn new words.
What would this guy's life turned out if he had a different background? So much wasted potential, and this is just one guy.

whatever gets them a paycheque. I think they are a bunch of bull queers but... thats just me. (watched shaw shank redemption earlier)

Nope, Telus is not going to do this. There is another video on the same topic on the sift that has an interview with Telus and they basically call it like it is: a cash grab. They spent millions of dollars upgrading their hardware and know that bandwidth costs them so little that there is no point in getting the bad press and customer hatred that this would cause. Shaw, on the other hand, has old tech and thinks this might be the way to finance it.>> ^zomgunicorns:

I switched from Shaw to Telus this month... I'm so glad I did after seeing this.
This is insanity. Canadians already pay more for less when it comes to internet and other forms of technology and now they are wanting to tack on a charge for something that doesn't cost them any more... a pure money-grab. Sickening.

As I mentioned on a related vid, I'm sooo happy I switched from Shaw to Telus on 30 Dec. I would definitely be on the receiving end of a massive bill.

@MaxWilder I only switched my service at the tail end of December - days away from this new policy - and I did not receive any notification (and I know I would have been over my "limit"). It is an obvious cash grab be the company.

As for charging for bandwidth like electricity, that is hardly the same. Generation of electricity has a cost associated with it, per megawatt hour, bandwidth doesn't cost the company anything (especially not the $2 per gig) after the initial investment of the lines/stations/etc. This is especially true throughout Canada where the lack of real competition means the ISP owns the lines, as opposed to renting them. For all intents and purposes Shaw owns all of the Cable in western Canada, Telus owns all of the phone lines in western Canada. We pay for internet service and that money goes to the upkeep of the service; as Telus has said, there is no need to charge per gig.

A further problem, and one of the reasons Shaw is doing this IMO, is that Shaw has not updated any of its cable or hardware since 2002. As the Telus rep said in the video, they have all new hardware (including one of the most advanced Fiber Optic networks in North America), so they don't have any major future expenses when it comes to internet service. Shaw needs an upgrade and this is how they are paying for it.

I encourage people to read the (slightly outdated) article here for more info on Canada's backwards internet system.

bah, i like shaw bros/ run run shaw movies. this stuff is just gratuitous violence.

It really isn't though, the whole movie I mean. It's got a great story line. This scene was easily the most violent one. Thanks for the tip on the shaw bros, I'll check em out.

among the finest scenes in cinema history

Rest in peace, Robert Shaw. Rest in peace, good sir

Actually I think the war in Afghanistan was always appropriate. What was inappropriate was pulling the bulk of the troops away too soon. I also think that the people there are better off now than they were before. Iraq was a different matter and Obama pulled out of Iraq. So I don't think your comment makes any sense.
To paraphrase the situation; It's as if Bush made a policy that certain people should be hung suspended from cranes. Now Obama takes over and people (like you apparently) are suggesting that he immediately revoke the policy of suspending people from cranes, ignoring the fact that the fall would kill them. So Obama continues the policy for as long as needed to get people safely to the ground and he's, "just as bad" in your books?

A lot of time spent on Obama for a Prez who didn't start a war.

That doesn't matter he's just as culpable for continuing the war. Yeah Obama is just as guilty as Bush...drink it in!

I suppose it's also alright to run Predator Strikes into Waziristan, Pakistan. When Criminal Punishment just won't do, you can always call in that Hellfire.

EDIT: I was working on this comment and I fat fingered it. Here's what I wanted to say, the comment above has nothing to do with Bush or Obama. It's to do with the idea that war is necessary, and why call it a war? The last war, was WWII Korea, and perhaps Vietnam. Given that there were uniformed soldiers who weren't were decently trained.

Watch this, and you will realize just how stupid and wasteful war is.

War does not determine who is right, only who is left.

What I want to know is how CVS and Shaws feel about being featured here. I suspect they like it. Most people won't do the work this woman did, but they will remember, "Hey, this is that store where you can get a lot of things for a penny."
