and in Greater Montreal region (Quebec), they split 514 into 514 (island only) and 450(laval, Rest)
Ottawa/Hull (Quebec and Ontario) have distinct area codes (613,819) but we are NOT required to dial the area code -- undocumented feature; it's ok if we do. So dialing 613 555-2222 is just the same as 555-2222 on any side of the river. I expect we'll be told to add the area code soon...

How about USB-to-PS/2 converters? I've seen some bundled with USB mice, so such a beast might be generic enough to handle what you want.
OMIGOD!!! You've just stumbled onto the biggest secret from the connector conspiracy!!! USB is nuthin' but a repackaged PS2 port!!!!!!
Naah, it's the mice that are bilingual... they speak both PS2 and USB protocols - just like the old days when they spoke PS2 and SERIAL. ---

"DeCSS doesn't commit piracy. People commit piracy."
"If you outlaw DeCSS, only outlaws will have DeCSS"
"They can have my DeCSS when they pry it from my cold, dead fingers."
Ok. Now that we've had a good laugh... You seem to be equating a device which can cause bodily harm and death with one that can result in someone's copyrights violated. Either thats trivializing gun violence or elevating piracy as a major societal issue.
This being said, your post does merit a +5, as the parallels are interesting but allying with the NRA ---

The point is, if you read the MSNBC article is that some consider it as a 21st century witch-hunt. This treaty reminds me of the silliness of persecuting those who use unconventional methods, sometimes at the risk of their lives. Witch-hunting and inquisition were used to keep the masses ignorant and prevent those free-thinkers from disturbing the status quo.
Plus, Halloween is in 5 days, and this story is most definitely scary.

This process distributes moderator points to worthy members of an online community. When given access, the member will audit threads and posts in one or many conversations of a web-based bulletin board.
The audit process consists in attributing positive or negative traits to a post which add or increase the weight of these posts.
Readers of the messages apply a special filter (covered in USPTO 313370031337) that filters out messages not reaching the desired threshold.
A secondary process allows the revision of past moderations so that incorrect moderation can be reviewed and undone.
Finally the 'worthiness' of members is evaluated by computing the totals of moderations, including reversed ones into a positive/negative scale. Those members that cross the first treshold are allowed onto the moderator pool. A second, higher threshold increases the initial weight of the member's post. ---

No. This is much worse. By sending potentially hundreds of unsolicited commercial emails, you are violating your ISPs Terms of Service. When 5 or 10 of these posts trigger a spamcop report or other similar complaint, YAIT!
You get TOSsed from your ISP and you'll have to spend hours on the phone to convince said ISP that "honest! it wasn't my fault!"
You lose some friends who now think your a MS sellout, spammer or worse
Your email address will end up ORBS, RBL and several other blacklists, which means your (brand new!) email address is now useless
Several of you friends will succumb to the suggestion, try MSN explorer and fsck themselves up too; hating you twice as much.
