I don't think it has anything to do with the country but everything to do with the car. Toyota has plants in both Canada and Mexico so a fair comparison would be to look at the same brand made in different countries or different brands in the same country.
Otherwise you could say that my German built Mercedes is much better than the American built GM
There will now be two backbones sharing the same pool of customers, thus the fixed costs will have to be recovered fro, whatever the fraction of customers you can lure away is, not the whole market as it was before.
Given that the story says:
As Bell was given a last-mile monopoly in much of Canada by the government they are required to follow rules set up by the CRTC this includes leasing their lines to competitive ISPs.
"Much of Canada" must be a significant amount of customers and I think you would need to consider that whatever new company would compete against Bell would try to offer some nice incentives to attract customers. They would probably push the status quo and consumers would get the best.
I know your point is that it doesn't seem to make much sense for a company in terms of profit but although the profits might not be the same as that of a natural monopoly, I think the profits of an oligopoly would still be attractive.
Yes, prepaid or "as you go" service is the most popular kind of cellphone service in Mexico. I read some time ago that it was even bigger than land lines. I can't find the link where I read that but this says something similar.
From the article you need to provide name, date of birth and CURP if you are registering via SMS (you might be asked to provide gender and state of residence). However, to get a new cellphone number you would also need to provide a fingerprint, proof of address (like a hydro bill) and a valid id (I'm guessing voting card or passport).
Look folks, the reason for the extra $50 is simple. You get both Vista AND XP. But what other reason would there be to pay an extra $50 to get an older OS?
And of course you can prove all those detainees are rightly there? You can assure everyone that any person detained from now on is actually a criminal/terrorist.
You forget that we need rules (laws) in order to differentiate ourselves from a tribe of savages. Otherwise you're welcoming a situation similar to witch hunting in the Middle Ages where there was no trail.
Of course your point of view sounds great until you're the one on the other side of the table when another country decides to impose the same criteria on Americans. Then things don't sound so great do they?
Exactly! Why would they need salvation, you assume that they would have a similar situation as explained in the Bible that they disobeyed an order from God as Adam and Eve.
On the other hand if God is infinite love wouldn't it make sense that he would have created other beings and not just us?
After all, they can simply shut down all Windows sales, which would push Linux to the forefront. And from their POV, that would mean new business opportunities. I wonder if they really can? If they have such power why haven't they done it already? Would they only push for Linux if MS was integrating yet another thing to their desktop?
I think the only thing that would happen is MS would have to pay another fine like in US/EU and everything would be business as usual.
That depends on how you look at the fees. WOW is a service. We pay for access to the game. There are costs associated with running the game day to day. They could just release expansion packs at retail if they cared to. THAT would be paying for new content. Obviously there are a myriad of reasons why that policy would be a bad idea, but you get the drift and I think that a fair number of people look at it like that too. I think it's safe to assume their day to day operation costs don't exceed the ~$5M they make daily.
To me, this then means that Opera should not necessarily take this case to court, but instead to the OEMs (like you said). They don't need to unbundle IE or change any of its OS integration. They just need to add in other browsers to show users they exist. They did it with media players, why not with browsers? But which OEM would like to piss of MS? Seriously think about HP or Dell whose mere business depends on the usage/selling/distribution of MS products. I'm sure they don't care that much about Opera or whether MS follows standards, they care about making money and as long as users prefer MS products I don't think you'll convince them to bundle Winamp or Opera.
Perhaps not burn the money but the government could take that money out of circulation. I'm not sure what this is called in English but in Spanish it's called "un corto monetario" which in theory helps with inflation.
...or because there's only so many provider of a certain good or service)... Not trying to be a troll, just wanted to let you know that, since you mentioned monopoly, this particular concept is called an oligopoly.
I don't buy the excuse that they would have to deal with French language regulations, since they're extending their deal to France and to another non-English country, namely, Germany. My guess is that even though Canada and France both use French they do so with a different locale. Maybe the Canadian-French market isn't as big as the France-French one?

Reason enough not to use it.

of story that just came out yesterday from Toronto. I guess this practice is more common than I thought. Spanning more than one industry for sure.
You can also quickly execute commands on your history using !, !! or !?
!find (execute last find command)
!! (execute last command)
!?f (execute last command that had an 'f' as part of it)
I might be wrong about their use but this is how I interpret them to be for my personal use.
For systems without grep -R:
find . -exec grep -i somestring {} \; -print
Seriously? You want that much harm for people who don't have anything to do with the judge's ruling?
I sometimes wonder how fanatic you have to be to say something as stupid as this!
It would have been fine if they started at 9am EDT, but PDT? Why so late in the day for CDT/EDT?
And of course you can prove all those detainees are rightly there? You can assure everyone that any person detained from now on is actually a criminal/terrorist.

Yeah I told that to MS too but they insisted they needed those 6000 pages! All of them!

LOL! Mod points where are you when I need you?
Funny that, according to the site, Javascript is losing ground. I was thinking the opposite should be happening now that Ajax is so popular.
I think the only thing that would happen is MS would have to pay another fine like in US/EU and everything would be business as usual.
Exactly! Same goes for HP and any other OEM. The real business is not on the desktop.

Not trying to be a troll, just wanted to let you know that, since you mentioned monopoly, this particular concept is called an oligopoly.I would rather pay $2 for the 1 or 2 songs I like from a band than pay $15 for their entire album when I don't care for the other songs.
Of course there are albums which are worth the $15-$20 they charge but most of the time I find myself only liking a couple of songs.
