Especially on Slashdot, I'd expect artificially created scarcity to be clearly delineated from necessary scarcity. Just because Sun has been tight-lipped to-date, doesn't make a sudden PR release 'valuable'.
My apologies if the editors meant 'rare' software -- i.e. uncooked.
You're far too serious sounding A. Coward to be sarcasm. My apologies if this was genuinely intended to be funny;(
In answer to your question:
To (a) anyone that rushes in to provide ActiveX support in the void or (b) anyone that provides the replacement technology (if they still haven't learned -- seemingly the case), or (c) all browsers should they start using (eg) air/flash or regular ole' https+html instead of https/silverlight.
You'd need to apply for an Ontario Health Card to identify yourself when you call; for that, you need a couple pieces of ID, including a Canadian Birth Certificate and an Ontario Driver's license or "official"-esque mail to an Ontario mailing address. Health Care fraud is a huge problem in Ontario for precisely the reasons you imply. Flint's famous rotund documentarian covered this in his latest flick.
And if the patients know this, what exactly is wrong with it?
To play liberal's advocate for a moment, the US health care system as it stands today requires licensing to get malpractice insurance. This is a pretty reasonable expectation should say, your leg be accidentally amputated during an annual checkup. This same policy applies to your insurance payables for eg. massage therapy. Registered therapist's services are invariably insured, whereas non-licensed massage services (teehee) are almost never covered.
The subtle reason for any of this concern is the principle of "informed consent". Without a medical degree, how can you effectively evaluate (in advance, no less) the skills of someone whose actions potentially put your life in definite, immediate risk? The liberal mindset is that you are not allowed to choose, even if you actually are informed, since other uninformed people will frequently make "the wrong choice".
As for my personal opinion, I think that the vast majority of medical conditions can be dealt with by someone with significantly less training/licensing (eg. nurses, online/telephone professionals, etc) than is currently demanded; heart surgeries are much less common than colds, as dreamy as McDreamy is.
"Free Trial" is not the same as "Free". Even Amazon (under the guise of Openomy) allows 1GB of free storage.

"Free Beta" is not the same as "Free". "Free Low Cost" isn't even meaningful. They've made it very clear that they'll be charging for this service, making it more or less equivalent to Amazon's web/cpu hosting services, but targeted towards SMB sites with less technical know-how.
The article said the company owned tea shops not that it was a tea company.

Tea plantations and tea shops. Not a tea company? Is there a portion of the industry left other than growing, refining, distributing, and retailing tea?:D
I think the bulk of network "management" from ISPs today is not about "prioritizing" anything. It's about preventing the Internet from competing with the ISP's other services (cable, telephone) by targeting specific applications with throttling or eg. Comcast's packet fraud. If HTTP actually received priority, then connections with other protocols would be slower, but neither stopped or violated.
Over the two-month period prior to their throttling, they had congestion on a whopping 2.6 and 5.2 per cent of their network links. They don't even explain whether this is a range of sustained congestion, or peaks amongst valleys. I believe somewhere in their filings they identify their process, which simply involves sampling the "congestion" at a fixed frequency (1/d?), and if any 4 samples during a 2-week period identified "congestion", the entire 2-week period is marked as congested for (eg) the entire DSLAM.
I leave the interpretation of this data to the network engineers.

you spelled honor wrong
You spelt honour incorrectly as well, but 'wrong' is your real failure here.

* Have you ever tried to recode a video?
* Have you ever tried to uncompress something bigger than a few megabytes?
* Have you ever tried to restore missing archive/RAID pieces from parity?
* Have you ever tried to index the full-text contents of your documents?
I'd be very happy to reduce these times by nearly 100% -- they're a lot more common uses for CPU horsepower than Crysis.
For you cheap folks, a version of this work was on Gamasutra last year:
* Part 1
* Part 2
* Part 3
Not sure if this is the entire book or not.

I was gonna suggest Tom Cruise. He really needs some better guidance.

Gotta prove you knew what/when/where.
No, that's the point about conspiracy to commit as suggested by the GP... you *don't* have to know at all.
Would that make it a bad analogy instead of a poor comparison? Where's BadAnalogyGuy to call this one?
Not even a first post.

In the Al Gore sense of "invent the Internet", perhaps. They commercialized someone else's invention.
