    Hardly even correct English - try this: The internet is a world-wide infrastructure through which various kinds computers can send and receive information.

    You don't see what is wrong with being able to make it appear as if a person has rung another person?

    Nor the fact that for whatever reason on at least some networks you will get no-password access to anyones personal voicemail (I mean to the messsages that were left on that persons voicemail by other people, and be able to configure their voicemail settings, including changing their message, I don't mean just to be able to leave them a message)?

    So there's nothing wrong with being able to do these things?

    It is not stupid to think that these things are outrageous

    Oh relax the kacks already, I'm well aware of the difference, but look, you get charged per watt.time (energy), so therefore you get charged per watt and per unit time. It's a joke, a play on fractions.
    If you use an 80-watt light bulb for an hour you will be charged more than if you used a 60-watt bulb. Therefore you get charged per watt.

    1 $/kWh = 0.1 Cent/Wh = 0.1 Cent/W/h

    p.p.s. you do get charged per watt

    If your rate is say 1 $/kWh, then

    1 $/kWh = 0.1 /Wh = 0.1 /W/h
    Whoopsie you do get charged per watt

    The Jerk Store called and they were all out of you!

    BTW you don't get charged per watt. You get charged per kilowatt-hour.

    Whether his computers are on or not his electric bill is the same.

    I think you'll find that that it would actually be cheaper to use a regular and more efficient heating device.

    p.s. thanks for the units lesson, are you free for table-quizzes?

    I don't know about the original poster, but my apartment is all-electric: in the winter, it doesn't matter if the computer is running or not, I'll be using the same amount of electricity. If the energy's going to be used, I'd prefer to be turning out F@H workunits than doing nothing with it.

    Well I'm glad I live in a sane place where I actually get charged per watt rather than just get charged

    That is I mean to say your comment doesn't make much sense to me (nor by extension does it's score) ;)

    Why not? Someone from a public ip address with an anonymous email makes your phone initiate a call with a sex-chat line, sounds clever to me...

    Somehow this company has been given god-like access to telephony systems worldwide - you don't get a choice.

    Whether you answer or not, whether your phone is on or not, you, or your personal voice-mail for the recipient to hear, will be connected to the recipient if your phone number has been entered as the originating number.

    Have you tried it? You don't need voip credit, you just need phone numbers, the person you created the account on behalf of gets charged to their mobile phone bill. Why are you so angry stunt penguin?

    I never paid for any kind of voip credits, yet so far today I have:

    1. Made most of my former friends call me twice.

    2. Listened to the rest of my former friends' personal voice-mails (because their phones were turned off when they "called me" so this is only fair, right?).

    3. Gotten my parents talking to each other after so many years (although my Father wasn't best pleased that he had to pay for the call).

    Exactly! There is so much wrong with this service. Did you know it can even connect the voice-mails of the phones to each other if both phones are turned off? What a tragically funny waste of call credit.

    Right, I'm off to get my parents talking again after so many years, and let's see, um, my Father will pay for the call.
