If you were to approach your management and tell them that you were going to buy PC's that would only run a Beta operating system they would laugh you right out of the building
If you're in Montreal, Toronto or Ottawa look to www.istop.com. For a residential 1.2M/160K connection, it's $33.95/month with a static IP (modem rental extra, or you can buy your own). 5Gb/month, +$3/Gb additional, +taxes, of course. All prices in Canadian dollars - that makes the basic rate just over $20 US per month.
It's not as bad as you think - Nunavut is a very recent creation (about 2 years, as memory serves) That's one advantage to online references vice dead tree versions - they can be kept up to date.
(Canadians note: no belittlement intended--the U.S. can be the 13th province if you like that better, though I doubt you do.)
That'd be the 11th province, not the 13th. Canada has ten provinces - British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. Then there are three territories - Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut.
Think about the Motion Picture Ratings Board. They're completely self-created. They rate the movies according to their standards. The movie theaters voluntarily choose whether they want to carry an NC-17 or Unrated film, and all goes well.
And if anything goes wrong, we can always just Blame Canada!

Like Windows?
You left out "Jobs and Wox made the original Apple with parts they scrounged from Jobs' job at Atari".
Their burn rate was $6M per month. Shutting down cuts that out and stabilizes their debt.
(Perspective: that's $200K every day, or $8333 an hour, or $139 a minute)

More Hewlett Packards?
Ewwwwwww...
Even that is inadequate. Airwall plus TEMPEST, perhaps.
I'm sure I speak for many when I selflessly volunteer to spank you.
Boothbabes and body cavity searches! A Winning combination!
Mote was written by Niven and Jerry Pournelle - credit where credit is due.
Umm, SSR is from Harry Harrrison, not Harlan Ellison.

This poll is an obvious fraud. Where's choice #4:
Cowboy Neal?
Can we get over our parochial OS and license flame wars to say "Well done" to the BSD crowd?
So it's a 50-50 chance themn?
Slander the man if you will, but at least Bert is kosher, and/or the Islamic equivalent! That would be "halal"
"does God use emacs, or vi?"
I think he uses Atariwriter...

Nah, they're using Adobe's hardened encryption. Come on, who will _ever_ break ROT-13?
Hmm. I'm on ADSL - $29 CAD per month for a 1.2/160 connection, unlimited (5 Gb if I decide to get a static IP). C'mon, move to Ottawa!
Free market and competition are wonderful things!
