If we have to pay 50$ per month for a quota of 25GB plus 2.00$ per GB over 25GB, but Bell pays something like 0.002$ per GB, then there is a huge problem in how Bell runs their networks. If gasoline were to be priced the same way, we'd pay something like 2200$ per litre right now.
There's also the conflict of interest between Bell as an ISP and Bell as a content provider (satellite). If you don't find it strange that all the major ISPs (Bell, Rogers, etc) lowered their monthly cap the day Netflix announced their service in Canada, and then asked the CRTC to force them all to do the same thing, then you're blind.
This isn't about rentability, this is about raping customers for all they're worth and asking the CRTC to force 3rd-party providers to do the same.
Peter Gibbons: Let me ask you something. When you come in on monday and you're not feeling real well, does anyone ever say to you, "Sounds like someone has a case of the mondays?" Lawrence: No. No, man. Shit, no, man. I believe you'd get your ass kicked sayin' something like that, man.

If Microsoft released a 3D modeling tool, would it be called Scatchup?
I use Yvan256 for Slashdot, Yvan257 for Twitter, Yvan258 for Facebook, etc. No criminal mastermind could ever crack my username pattern!
I can't wait either! Once the patents run out, we'll finally be able to buy DVD players for 19.75$ instead of 20.00$.
It can be.
Here you go.
If Metroid is confirmed then it would be a good thing if you ask me. That's the reason I never got a Nintendo 64: no Metroid.

I don't see how his comment is flamebait. Increase your font size, you can easily replicate the bug he mentioned.

Slashdot is borked. Let's create our own Slashdot, with blackjack and hookers. In fact, forget Slashdot!
What do you mean? An African or European slashdot?
No, you're not missing anything. You know Hollywood, they can't do math. Have you seen the damages asked in their lawsuits?
Next thing you know they'll want us to believe there was more than two Alien movies.
I've never seen any netbook with 2GB RAM in any Staples or Future Shop flyers, they're all 1GB RAM.
I suppose it depends on how hot is your cup of tea.
Netbook? Snow Leopard on 1GB of RAM? Are you insane?
D'oh!
