Yes, this is funny. But seriously, this kind of stuff is already out there. Jobs is a bit late this time. Take a look, google sky map on android is probably the most practical application demonstrating this function.
In particular in Belgium, there are just a few ISP's that do not have any capping. The major ISP's make BIG profit of the users who want to download lets say, more than the 40GB they offer. It's NOT a DRM, it's just another way to squeeze more money from their customers.
Another interpretation could be that the chance of them noticing where the capsules go is higher when you increase the quantity. When the metro is coming, you don't count how many persons there are in the wagon, you just get on the one that has some place left; no arithmetic involved.
Who has the time to read so much text to get convinced a Mac could be cheaper?? Personally, I don't have the time tu submit to this kind of convincing. If I was an average Joe, I would be convinced enough by M$'s simple ad. Deal with it.
Count their traffic but allow for unlimited downloads during the lowest periods of the day. Everybody would be glad to download torrents during the night and surf the net during the day.
What if we sent the captcha to them by e-mail as a two megabyte image attachment?
Anyone trying to do things with bots would need an e-mail server that can handle tens of thousands of 2 MB e-mails, and ALL e-mail service providers would be able to insta-ban them based on bandwidth usage. Heck we can even make it easy for e-mail service providers to recognize our 2MB capcha e-mail images, by naming them capcha.jpg. Any account that gets more than 10 captcha e-mails in a single day is banned by gmail/yahoo/etc.
I swear, I'm a fucking genius. This only took me 30 seconds to think of.
please give me your email to send you several hundred emails every day. Your 7Gig at google will vanish quite quickly, besides you getting banned for being a spammer... oh wait..
Doesn't GMail offer the ability to fetch your email from POP accounts now? It would probably not be the ideal solution, but perhaps you should stop forwarding and instead start POPping.
Because you have to pay extra for storage. Email forwarding usually comes with the domain registration, as in my case.
yet again, something that is almost 1 month old - see date from the preprint - 8 May, tries to pass as news on/. We should rename the site to retardot.org.
It's an empty non-story with NO new information. Don't reward them with ad hits. I totally agree, those features were previously discussed here.
And the list of those features is listed in a pdf file on the website of microsoft itself
In Europe the BT is shaped too. My ISP - ownership of the largest multinational ISP outside the US - Liberty Global - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Global, is shaping the TB traffic during the peak hours, giving just 1000KBytes/s for the torrents, when pure ftp and http downloads get to the full 2400KBytes/s. I suspect that they apply the same policy to all of their customers/isp's.
More actual things, or should I say zings? For zose who actually read-ze-fucking-article and played ze movie.. zis french guy should not be allowed to comment on ze movie.. I barely understood what he had to say.

This could actually bring a whole new meaning to STD.

This still didn't help me to run outlook web access in Firefox the way it runs in IE.

REUSE? I'll never drink coffee at the space centre any more!
I thought it was all about black holes, not berries..
Neither keep me up at night, I have a girlfriend and things to get done.
Perhaps you should consider changing your girlfriend, mine can always keep me up.

growing weed should be more interesting, over there it's nobody's jurisdiction :)

I would rather cue the jokes about Soviet Australia, as the dudes from computerworld.com.au misinterpreted the function of this agency, which only registers hotspots or for-profit wi-fi networks. The end consumer is fully exempted. Here's the google translation of their article: http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rsoc.ru%2Fmain%2Fabout%2F858%2F887.shtml%3Fid_news%3D628&langpair=ru%7Cen&hl=en&ie=UTF-8

Well, of course others had sex with Linux before, but now it's time for the virgin to take the tour.
can't wait to outlive them to prove it wrong..
