I agree, if I paid for 20GB and go over that then I'm ok with throttling provided it is still done to the whole connection, and only when the user has gone over their limit.
I say whole connection because service providers shouldn't be allowed to make exceptions for services that paid them a premium. Even when the user has used their bandwidth limit.
It's not needed. If I'm sending somethig sensitive, I can just encrypt it and send it as an attachment, and give them the password over the phone.
Over the phone? When the key is something like "HjnH6AooMyKzE9HOki6Au2d51wb" screw that, I just include the key in the body of the email. Such an email would actually be compliant with many corporate security policies.
Yes, actually, if I'm their admin. If I can't do something as simple as reconfigure everyone's email by throwing a switch, I'm probably a lousy admin.
Yes that's all fine and well for internal mail, but when they want to exchange their bank details with that prince in Nigeria they are back to unencrypted email again.
Training everyone to exchange S/MIME keys, for example, is just too damn hard.
Many of us are still training people not to download the latest screen savers. Or install the latest cool app that someone was kind enough to email to them.
A man studying in London has taken a mathematical equation that predicts the possibility of alien life in the universe to explain why he can't find a girlfriend.
There was a recent story about electrical (not hybrid) cars being so quiet, that blind people don't hear them. I only learned from reactions to that story that guide dogs don't actually see traffic. Always thought they did, but they just see the curb and then the blind person has to decide wether it is safe to cross. A bit hard with a silent car you cannot see...
As a Truck driver I can tell you that 99% of pedestrians cannot hear the traffic anyway. So quiet cars are a non-issue.

Learn the most basic concept of marketing. Or do you fail to grasp basic idea's.
Yet you so quickly hide your identity. Are you an embarrassment to yourself?
Are you saying I'd have to go and find each and every person that didn't come to my restaurant because of your lies?
Yes you should.
Evidence is a bitch, huh?
Who the hell has a CD player these days? I haven't seen a music CD in at least 7-10 years.
Marketing 101: A product is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
Therefore the damages amount to $0.00
The damage is still $0
What the hell is a "Virtual Weapon"?
My hard drive is full of what appears to be random data. Search away.

Only terrorists and pedo's encrypt email, or do you not listen the government propaganda? Traitor!
But seriously iPhone lacking a common feature? Who would have thought.

Fortunately, clueless admins tend to leave other holes in their security,.
Are you sure that's always to your benefit?
Only Terrorists use encryption, if your not a terrorist you've got nothing to hide.
Your sig should be.

You can't stream Videos from the BBC outside of Britannia. But maybe that will change as bandwidth improves.
Of course, there are those that say that my way of thinking will kill journalism / music / whatever,
You mean like the way home taping killed the movie industry?
How do we know they didn't just get /.ed? With all the publicity it's not that far fetched.
The symptoms must be caused by something else.
Stupidity, the placebo effect allows idiots to achieve all sorts of medical miracles.
I would be more concerned about the steel support structure of the building.
History books are fabricated by the government!!!
Didn't 9/11 teach you anything?
A man studying in London has taken a mathematical equation that predicts the possibility of alien life in the universe to explain why he can't find a girlfriend.
Doesn't seem like much of a mystery to me.

I wonder if people will be making similar comparisons to Australia in the future?
