In the states (at least my area) it's really unlimited. Obviously this varies from ISP to ISP, but I've gone near or over 120gb in a month without any capping or tampering with my traffic. Granted I'm on 15mpbs Verizon FiOS so they're pretty lenient.
Not true, try to get a AT&T rep to come out to work on your corporate phone lines. Just try it to see who they send out. Every single AT&T rep has been some bumbling foriegner or white trash meth addict. They are unprofessional, bad mechanics, and frequently late with no phone calls. My favorite part? Of of their techs took a piss in the back terminal room, they're a joy to work with.
In all seriousness, when my friends with AT&T can get service anywhere it's shocking.
Well, by all means then, master, please enlighten me. How is refusing either lucrative positions or the prize in his particular context somehow ethically praiseworthy rather than simply eccentric?

What do you think the future holds for Perelman?
Some people who are very fond of him have speculated that when he is finally awarded the Millennium Prize, he will come out of hiding, claim his just reward, and perhaps reveal that he never really abandoned mathematics. It’s a wonderful but unlikely scenario. The commercialization of mathematics offends him. He was deeply hurt by the many generous offers he received from U.S. universities after he published his proof. He apparently felt he had made a contribution that was far greater than any amount of money—and rather than express their appreciation in appropriately mathematical ways, by studying his proof and working to understand it—they were trying to take a shortcut and basically pay him off. By the same token, the million dollars will probably offend him. I don’t think we will be hearing from Perelman again.
100% agree. I work at a major web hosting company and this is a huge problem. You can have the most up-to-date patches, however nothing you do can guarantee the competency of the end user. I see users running a film website with their password at 'films2866', root user available to SSH in, standard SSH port... just take a look at/var/log/secure | grep 'Failed' and you'll see just how many bots are interested. Checking the mail queue often turns up tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of pending outgoing emails. We have trouble cleaning them up as fast as we find them. There are stupid end users on Windows, Macs, and Linux. To most people out there who are linux fanboys: just because you can install it doesn't make you a security expert, keep your shit secure and up to date, for my emails sake.
Clearly you've never worked on a smokers computer. When you have a customer bringing in a box that was once white, and is now an off-yellow and reeks of cigarettes. Crack that thing open and out comes more than the expected dust, but shitloads of ash as well. It's fucking disgusting. Especially since most smokers have their ashtray RIGHT next to the computer, it just gets sucked straight in and smells like shit.
I wouldn't be surprised if the issue isn't 'second hand' smoke moreso than the god damn stench being bad enough to not want to work on a smokers computers - at least when people smoke, they bathe. When was the last time you took your computer out, took all the hardware out, and scrubbed your computer?
If you're going to live like you were born in a barn, tough luck. Enjoy your cancer.
If you get a flat I hope you have another few-thousand-dollar-already-charged wheel as a spare. These cars would end up on cinderblocks anywhere but a private garage.

This means that the SC2 beta will be released November...December at the latest. The multiplayer game is polished and ready to be played, from my personal discussed with my Blizzard friends they are simply waiting on BNet to roll out. The fact that they chose to pilot it for WoW instead of testing internally with SC2 just shows that they're confident it's in a solid state.
Of courrrrse they will. At the very least, that tokenizer will be used to log into BattleNET itself. If the existing ones are obsolete..i
'm sure they'll give them away in bulk. Every Blizzcon attendee got one for free, I don't even play WoW.
In other news: Water is wet! Sex is pleasurable! What will be, will be! Simply genius, a modern day Nostradamus... do you have a book I can read with more of your revelations?
Do some research ont he people who profit from global warming. While I don't doubt mankind isn't helpign the process - the fact that so much of the population, educated or not, has been influenced by the media about it makes it a means to profit. That's exactly what our current administration is doing, they're taxing carbon emissions and raising food prices for 'carbon taxes'. Now consider this globally, all these taxes end up in the hands of a few, largely in debt countries. These countries have a debt to pay off to their banker overlords (Alan Greenspan has a live interview where he stated that the Federal Reserve had more power than the president). Keep in mind the Federal Reserve is a privately owned company with private investors. These investors simply want their money to grow tenfold.
How dare he disagree with studies that are largely funded by the same groups that are going to profit from carbon taxes! Surely he's a witch! Grab the torch and pichforks, and gather all the other in our groupthink!
I heard a scientist say that the temperatures of ALL the planets in our solar system rise and fall with sunspot. Take a look at the sunspot data... notice the rise? Once apon a recent point time, all sorts of traditionally cold European countries were able to bear warmer-climate crops.
While we are making a terrible impact on this world, keep in mind that behind every good intention - there's greedy hands looking to get more. Carbon taxes are going to be a very real thing soon, slipped under our noses. Except this time we can't have a modern day Boston Teaparty to fight what we believe in..

Yup, 25 second youtube ads
Actually make politicians...do something? GASP. It's so crazy, it just might work.

Does that mean no more Chinese botnets sending spam from compromised machines, since domains won't be resolvable? Will IP's be valid? /confuzzled

From my experiences with Verizon as an internet provider, they're fantastic -- but all of their services just feel way too overpriced.

This video is fucking godly. AC is twat.
D'oh, after re-reading - this is Bnet-1, not Bnet-2. Still, closer :x

Host Chopper has been using sea water to cool their data centers for at least a month now. Get with the times, Google..
However they are, on average, about as useful (or useless) as mall rent-a-cops. Unless you've dealt with one in action, you wouldn't understand.
It's called the military.
