"Gracenote maintains a huge online database that can identify CDs by calling up the exact list and length of songs."
So yes, if you have all the songs, put them in the right order (and they are the exact same length - which they should be) then it will be identified by cddb (gracenote)
"The worst of all is that the contract I signed didn't have anythinig about that"

Ha! I would be pissed if I had to sign a contract in the first place.
Why are companies still focring you to be locked in for a certain period of time, thats just dumb.
heheh, yeah considering that Telstra's international link is down;)
GOOO OPtus, GOOO SCC:) Southern Cross Cable is nice for now - but when you read news that Canada is trying to get a 800Gbit pipe someplace, it kinda puts a damper on things.
"TELEGLOBE EQUIPS FOR 800 GIGABITS PER FIBER: Teleglobe will pay Nortel Networks US$400 Million to supply its global IP network with optical Internet services that will increase fiber capacity to 800 Gbps."
I remember a while a go, the CRTC said something along the lines of:
"We wont get involved in the Internet in anyway"
This inlcudes censoring (blame Canada!) and other things that the rest of the world getting their panties in a knot about.
This is a great time for startups to get their act together and get those companies out there before the CRTC makes this ruling. Once the CRTC does make it (and I am pretty confident they will) you can see the likes of Bell and the all the other well established companies raking in the cash.
This is also a good opportunity for the likes of Look TV (www.look.ca) and other alternative media companies to further their progress in wireless technologies and internet.
A current PriceWaterhouseCoopers poll puts Canada at the #1 list for Internet usage in the world:
"..that 48.2% of Canadian households now have Internet access, ahead of the U.S. (43%) and other countries surveyed. The study says that 22% of Canadian households using the Internet have high-speed access."
You can only expect this figure to increase if this ruling is made.
Personally, I feel the same way. The internet is ESSENTIAL to me. It's like eating and sleeping. It's just as important as the telephone or money. Glad someone "up there" feels the same way.
(yeah, yeah spelling is terrible - you know what I am trying to say though - i'm a lazy bastard)
Three Sixety Networks (a company based in Vancouver, Canada) has teamed up with Alcatel to do a trans-pacific cable from Canada, to Japan.
As well, they have also proposed a trans-atlantic cable from New York to England. If enough support/interest is shown for the trans-atlantic one, then its a go.
Apparantly the Trans-Pacific cable is due to open its pipe in '05.
