Cornell Implementing Bandwidth Charges
Sabalon writes "Cornell University is planning on implementing a plan where if faculty, staff or students use more than 2GB of bandwidth a month, they will be charged for the additional bandwidth usage. The article mentions that last year over 100,000GB worth of files were sent from Cornell's network. I'm sure this is not the only school doing this or moving to this. I'm sure the conspiracy theory people will see this as a suggestion by Microsoft to stop students from getting those pesky Linux iso images. At least, according to the RIAA, CD sales around Cornell should now skyrocket :)" It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. Since students often have accounts on several different university machines, I suspect the more rebellious ones will be running an assortment of proxies and redirections to get around the restrictions.
First Unpaid Post!
I got it bitch! Suck it down! Drink dick!
Have I told you how Michael Sims, the "author" of this story, stole the Censorware Project out of my very hands? I am personally shocked and appalled that he is still allowed to work without owning up to his complete irresponsibility.
And oh yeah, his stupid attempts at humor are terrible. Adbusters terrible. "Wah wah I hate corporations!" says the corporate whore Michael.

I am calling for a boycott of Michael Sims, America's number one enemy in the fight against anti-anti-censorware, until he gives me an apology for his rampant goatse'ing and usurping of the Censorware Project , my pride and joy.
Frankly, I'm shocked that I am not revered by all of Slashdot. My contributions to the world of anti-censorware research are comparable to the contributions of Jesus Christ to the field of religion. I won more awards from that project than Michael won in his whole damned life.
Do not underestimate me. I will be heard.

Actually, it's both. Pr0n.
If you had nuts on your chin, would they be chin nuts?
. But you shouldnt have insulted "Deity Michael".
He insulted me first.
Good quote, too many chars. Seriously, the slashdot 120 char limit sucks!
