    I'm not so sure the Supreme Court will agree to this. Satellite is different: remember we have something in CAnAdA called the CRTC. The issue with the sat. providers was that the US companies don't broadcast 'Canadian Content'. Something like 20% (or more...I used to work at a radio station and used to pull Luba and Corey Hart all the time and get in sh*t for violating Can-Con requirements) has to be Can-Con.

    Plus, the major ISP (Bell) actually has to get *permission* from the CRTC to raise rates. Let me tell you, they're not about to give money to *anyone*.

    It will be interesting to watch though...

    1000 machines x $699 = $699,000. Considering they think they're going to take in *billions* in the IPO, I'd say that's chump change.

    This is a Good Thing(tm). I've tried KDE, and just wasn't satisfied. My system runs so much faster now - I haven't had a Sig11 for some time now. Dropline Gnome on Slackware just rocks.
