Kevin Rose Load Tests Gmail
SishGupta writes "Load Testing Gmail - fillmybox@gmail.com
A few weeks ago, Kevin Rose of the The Screen Savers decided to load test Google's new email service, Gmail. He asked everyone to email him their favourite 5MB attachments to 'fillmybox@gmail.com.'
The test Gmail account is now 102% maxed out.
You can read about the test and the results at Kevin Rose.com (his weblog)."
Hah, fristy prosty!
Mod parent down - links to disgusting dead body picture.
OK, but apparently none of today's mods get this, but this was a fucking funny post. Shot Kool-Aid out of my nose, onto the monitor, in fact. Purple!
Uhm... really??? A box is a cunt is a vagina is a snapper is a snatch is a clam is a...
...fillmybox@gmail.com blocks spam from you!
darn....that's not nearly as hilarious as I had hoped.

Only ALMOST EVERYBODY is that dumb. Why should people pay for either colocation or a business grade line to their homes when GAYmail does a good enough job for free? Hint: It ain't because they're all GNAA members.
KB is still 1024 bytes, despite a few wackos trying to redefine it.

"The idea that we should continue doing something simply because it is entrenched is folly at best and is better described as arrogant. I find the idea that we should do something simply because it is the way it has always been done to be absolutely horrific."
You are an idiot. Most language and sematics are built around this very feature. Now shut the fuck up before I smack you with a trout. Or has that been done before too?
Your argument is well-thought out and airtight.
Unfortunately, it's clearly meaningless.
People use GB to refer to 1024^3, and nothing you could say or do is going to change that.
It's like religon. You can bitch all you want about how Christianity is full of logical holes (which, from any rational stance, it is), but that won't stop 1.2 billion people from believing it.
Or, you can argue all you want about how Metric is superior (which, from any rational stance, it is), but the US is going to continue using the imperial system for the immediate future.
actualy... they aren't giving away stuff for free...
see those adds on the right of your gmail?
they create money for google, making a profit for google.
and unless you find that your paying yust by looking at those adds, gmail is still free for you, even tho google is earning a profit from it.
All indicators show that the human race is selectively breeding itself for stupidity.
