Powell actually likes these two provisions. Arkadiy is right...he is an asshole. And imric's also right in that this is the wave of the future (i.e. fucking the consumer in favor of monopoly power) unless and until we remove the "head selected bastards" from office ASAP! jb4 "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.
