Wow, that mirrors the idea I had several years back for stationlands (the indoor mall that looks and feels like an outdoor mall)

It's certainly a lot easier with the old post office and east annex gone

DNS = Domain Name System

Almost all the spam in the world, especially on forums, come from China, India or Russia. C2E has been dealing with a spambot issue from chinese ip for years now. Finally some changes were made that didn't allow you to sign up and post instantly, and this seems to angered the spammers. The admin at c2e denied 200 some spam accounts, and then DOS attack started occuring.

Tamara Elliott, Global News : Wednesday, February 27, 2013 12:38 PM

CALGARY- One of the country’s largest communications companies is embarking on a big move, affecting its corporate headquarters and the television headquarters of Global Calgary.

Shaw Communications announced on Wednesday that it is planning a complete renovation and restoration of the Shaw Court building in downtown Calgary, and will also be the major tenant in the new 3 Eau Claire building.

Huh...now that is one fugly-🞵🞵🞵 building.
Congrats to Calgary on retaining a major H.O.

Airboy · #**6267** Posted **Feb 27, 2013, 9:59 PM**

I have stopped crying over HQ we have lost, the work now is to bring in new ones and retain what we have. Let’s move on. It’s a new era.

Now here is something I found in the McMurray region yesterday.

I could see numerous places for these Hybrid Lights

Coldrsx · #**6268** Posted **Feb 27, 2013, 10:02 PM**

Neat

... and yes, enough about SHAW etc.

Is Toronto still wanting a wolly pop over Imperial or CP?

Keats82 · #**6269** Posted **Feb 27, 2013, 10:17 PM**

Considering that I work for one of their competitors, I'm surprised to hear this news about a new Shaw HQ - the company has seen its market share and client base erode consistently for several years now!

Ah well!

Those hybrid lamp posts are just amazing. I cannot fathom why the city hasn't started to use those in Edmonton yet - especially if they feed back into the grid during the day!!!

We are trying to figure out the efficiency in our and the northern climates. How good are they with the reduced sun load in the winter as well as the cold. You do need to keep the batteries warm.

Uh... Shaw has outperformed pretty much everyone and purchased a few of its failing competitors in recent years.

Considering how many clients I deal with who are leaving Shaw and coming to us, not to mention having insight to some acquisition numbers and seeing their market share erode...I dispute your statement.
