Canada is switching to a la carte pricing for cable channels soon. Personally I'm planning on keeping a fair number of the sports channels and ditching a lot of the cruft that has built up over the years on the typical Canadian bundle.

As a Hamiltonian and fan of the CFL's Hamilton Tiger-Cats, I'm surprised that the Yankees Suck T-shirts aren't even that old. Ticats fans have been chanting Argos Suck and buying T-shirts for what seems like forever. When Red

Is there some fields where this is way more of a problem (I'm guessing medicine)? As someone in computer vision you are often dealing with IEEE for conferences and journals, which has never struck me as that bad, although for a non-pro
