When you download a song you are choosing to receive that file and it's contents. The files don't just arrive by themselves, you have to go out and request them. It's this requesting of them that opens you up to the fact that they might be anything. Spam is sent to you without request. This is where it's forced upon you.
Against my better judgement here replying to this but oh well...I bit. Shame on me.(I'm a Canuck living in Britian)
1. Quebec independence? (good riddance)
I fail to see why this would have any bearing so I will skip it. 2. The cancellation of all Alliance-Atlantis krap television productions?
See 1(this one just confused me:|) 3. The tanking of that *Monopoly* currency of yours? CanadaEuro. Incase you are unable to read the charts....thats the US dollar going down. 4. U.S. adoption of le Metric system?
Maybe 2 decades later once everyone there has gotten use to it. 5. The U.S. normalizing relations with Castro?
No way, think of the job losses on the Canadian side of Niagra Falls if americans could legally buy Cubian cigars! 6. The U.S. paying off its obligations in the Treaty of Paris to all the descendents of the disenfranchised Loyalists (then again, we should charge you'all for the Restoration on the White House since your forces torched it in the War of 1812)?
Twas nothing but a mear touchup a bit of paint here and there. 7. Americans beginning every sentence with "eh"? (much like the British start off everything with "right").
Canadians FINISH every sentence with "eh", and the British only start every 2nd and 5th statements with "right"(assuming a loop of 8 statements) 8. Americans actually bothering to find Canada on a map (why should we?)?
Well if you can't find Canada on a map you have bigger things to worry about then when we will surrender to you. It is quite large after all. 9. The U.S. dropping the prohibition on accepting titles from the British Monarchy (I'd cheer that actually)?
We have somewhat the same problem to the north. 9. Americans no longer mocking that "sport" you call curdling (isn't that what cheese does?)?
If it was called curdling you would be right, thats what cheese does, however it's called curling. It's about as much a sport as Nascar racing. 10. Martin Short for President?
You really don't get out much do you?:)
Another way/reason the bulk senders save money is that they tend to sort the mail themselves before giving it to the postoffice. The postoffice then discounts the price for them.
(Please note that well I am only positive this happens in the UK, I am confident the same types of agreement would occur in other countries)
Have you considered the possibility of someone exploiting a non-root remote hole on your box and now having the ability to escalate themselves to root?

The last one was talking about a review with "The release just around the corner". This one is announcing the actual release.
2 different stories.
