"Root Canal" questions BTW, anyone have ideas about that name!?
Having just been through this procedure (UK National Health, $70), I can tell you - It's all about *Deep Drilling*. Presumably for data, in this case. And it hurts.

Having just been informed that I'm to undergo this procedure in 4 days time, I really really appreciate you telling me that it hurts. Seriously, I think "Root Canal" must mean what it says. Root Canal. A canal is a channel, a pathway. Root, in unix terminoligy means one who can read anything on a system. Thus Root Canal would allow the FBI to have a channel with full read privilages to all information in a system, namely the phone system. Root Canal therefore is the same as Big Brother in Orwellian terminology. Thug
