Its so weird this is news since this has been commonly known for years.  Whats interesting is the backlash from women who think Carrie is being rather flippant about sleeping with a married man.  I've seen that mentioned a few times.  Carrie is the ***** for sleeping with a married man.  Ford is cool for being the married man who slept with a much younger woman.  Hmmmm.

Either way, they were both adults so whatever.  Its mildly interesting but like I said, everyone knew this anyway.

It would be more newsworthy if they went to bed during filming of The Force Awakens.

I think the kind thing to do is wait until the other person is dead but its Fisher so...

Ford okay but its not like Hamill was no slouch either and Peter was Chewbacca.

 

At least she waited until Ford was done with Star Wars...imagine if they were negotiating with him for the next film.  Although since the "news" was out there widely I imagine Ford doesnt care.  if Im him my reply is "Did I nail Princess Leia?  *Posts pic of gold bikini* Damn right I did."

Interesting situation here:

If this is true and is what it seems, its stunning, especially the heroes at the back flipping off and waving bye.  There is a slight question as this personality has created hoax vidoes in the past to generate followers.

It does raise another issue for airlines - why dont they have cameras in the cabin (or do they??).  I already think they should have them in the cockpit but the unions dont like it.  But in the cabins seems like a no-brainer.

This really does scare me...    the costs of bringing internet to certain communities is astronomical....  I do not look forward to the massive increases in my bills just so that a community of 500 can surf some moderately high def porn.    

I've worked on some projects for remote areas and have seen the bill of how much it cost to bring high speed to them... it's insanely expensive.

I work for a telecom and whenever someone asks me where I work, I have to then listen to their laundry list of complaints.  I have a friend with relatives in a small community and they flat out tell me how much they hate my work.  Not only do they think the company should have high speed Internet and TV, they think it would be smart to offer it for free to gain customers.  When I point out the expense for the limited return, they say oh so they dont care about us then?  No, not really.

EDIT: In this decision, it refers to 100% of Canadians...so, someone living in the Yukon wilderness will have high speed internet wired to their cabin?

Here are aspects of the CRTC decision (interesting, I dont even have 50mbps):

Key points from today’s CRTC decision, and the accompanying national broadband strategy:

  • 100% of Canadians must have access to reliable, world-class mobile and fixed Internet services.

  • The decision includes: Internet access defined as a basic service, access to world-class speeds, options for unlimited data packages, and a level playing field for rural and remote Canadians.

  • New network speed targets of 50 Mbps download speed and 10 Mbps upload speed, and the ability to subscribe to fixed Internet package with an unlimited data option.

  • Canadians from coast to coast to coast must have access to high-speed mobile and residential Internet connections. To fund this, the CRTC will redistribute hundreds of millions of dollars from telecommunications company revenues over the coming years.

  • Going forward, rural, remote, and urban communities must be able to access Internet speeds five times as fast as the U.S. minimum (10/1) and the government will encourage the widest availability of the fastest 4G/LTE mobile networks.

  • Finally, the CRTC issued a new report outlining the imperative for a national broadband strategy and what the federal government should consider when building it.

You know you can't pick on reserves! That's forbidden!
