I've just replaced 2/3 of my light bulbs from energy efficient CFLs to halogens. They give the same colour as old fashioned light bulbs, are packaged and look the same as old light bulbs. A 40W is as bright as a 60-70W old incandescent bulb, brighter than a 20W CFL.
Same was said in the 1990's when Acorn Computers had machines that were faster than Intel's own Pentium and 486 machines. RISCOS was pretty much better than Windows 3.1 at the time too. *weeps*
BT Broadband do the same in the UK. However, they do not tell you what the maximum is on their 'unlimited' tiers. They just cap your download to 64kb/s out of the blue, at a month at a time.
You need to know your way around unix pretty well to get this installed, and what happens is a dependence breaks? There are so many dependencies even the knowledgeable sysadmin may tear their hair out.
Just had a read of their google group. This is the level that the average user is at:
I just downloaded the source from github/diaspora/diaspora on my windows 7 pc,now what? or should i wait until next month?
I have tried to install Diaspora, with errors which I'm still trying to figure out.

I don't think I know anyone that uses AOL/iChat. MSN Messenger, Skype, Facbook chat seem to what people I know use thesedays, but perhaps less so of MSN than 2-3 years ago.
On topic, as for cost. I'm stil paying the same £27/month I paid 10 years ago. So no, cost hasn't decreased. BT in the UK are rolling out their "Infiinity' FTTC service. 40Mb/2Mb for similar price I pay for 3Mb/s.
Think of it this way, the price hasn't decreased but is putting money in their pockets to invrst in the future. BT are rolling out FTTC, this can't come cheap.

Halogens is one way to get around EU laws too.
Here is an explanation of the LHC.

Just stumbled across it, had to post.
I saw 32, 600MHz ARM chips demonstrated in 1999 in an desktop computer. Check her out: http://www.acornuser.com/acornuser/year18/issue210.jpeg

Having asbestos removed from my soffits on my house right now. House is being covered to make one huge hypobaric chamber. Oh the fun!
Don't ask how much it is costing to get it removed. :S
I'd just employ Moss, Roy and Jen.

Spoken to twitter on IRC. It is fixed. Going to take a while to propagate through the servers.
Requires one word — "ROTFL".

Yeah, like Mozilla and dromaeo.
Wow. 24268.3ms with 3.6.9 here. Mozilla sure have made some huge improvements in 4.0 betas.
Apologies, a deci is an SI unit (why did I post that?), but I have never heard anyone use it. You never, ever measure a deci-metre or deci-gramme.
dB is 100% not a SI unit.
Latest Opera Snapshot: 15603.7ms
28.6s is less accurate than 28638.1ms.
Not an SI unit.
Latest Mozilla Central 64 bit: 9409.6ms
Latest Chromium 32 bit 18766.2ms
Here are my results.
Latest Mozilla Central nightly on Mac OS X 32 bit: 9339.5ms
Latest Webkit nightly. 64 bit: 15736.5ms
I'll run a Mozilla Central 64 bit in a moment.
Shame it only benchmarks one small part of the browser - Javascript.
BT own almost all of the last mile POTS as well. To be precise, a division of BT called BT Openreach.
Openreach has allowed for competition, it doesn't matter who owns the 'building' as you put it.
We already have such technology. It's called, umm, wifi.
Also, £27 is not the same £27 I paid 10 years ago (inflation). In real terms, broadband is far cheaper now.
On topic, as for cost. I'm stil paying the same £27/month I paid 10 years ago. So no, cost hasn't decreased. BT in the UK are rolling out their "Infiinity' FTTC service. 40Mb/2Mb for similar price I pay for 3Mb/s.
