"The main thing that is stopping me now is that like you, programming is my livelihood and thus I spent a major part of my day staring into the monitor. I have read that there is always a certain percentage of patients not regaining 20/20 vision but it's OK for them since most of them don't need that sharp vision during work."
You need 20/20 vision to write code? I manage to get by with 20/50 (corrected).. 20/20.. must be nice. As for glasses/contacts being too cumbersome.. I don't buy that for a second. LASIK is essentially a cosmetic proceedure since it doesn't enhance vision beyond the point of your best corrected vision. (It does slightly, sometimes.)
In Episode 2F09, when Itchy plays Scrathcy's skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes the same rib twice in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we, to believe that this is some sort of a, a magic xylophone or something?
My question is what happens if etoy winds up winning a court battle between the two. I remember that a judge said there was a $10,000/day fine for etoy.com if they left their site up... will eToys be made to compensate etoy for the downtime? ($10,000 per day of downtime, plus all of etoy's legal fees seems like a fair deal)
There are quite a few porn sites that use commonly visited sites names mistyped to try and get some hits. (I think www.webcrawler.com has one like this but I can't remember what the typo was:)
As for other lawsuits, didn't Yahoo sue the owners of www.yahooka.com? Whatever became of that?

...I'll field this one!
The reason that ISDN speeds "are about the same as IDSL" is because they're the same thing. (The 'I' in IDSL stands for ISDN if I'm not mistaken.)

I'm just glad I don't have any stock in eToys.
