EXACTLY!!!! the electricity needed to run the servers costs money!!! So, once the server is running a additional served byte costs nothing since there are no additional costs. So why do they sell it at a price? And most important why are you willing to you buy it at a price (that is obviously a unfair price) instead of paying a fixed monthly/yearly?
What happens when the content provider realizes that bandwidth costs money
Please mod the parent as funny!!!!! Bandwidth doesn't cost a single penny! For instance things like a additional SMS on a network do not cost ANYTHING to the provider, the fact that there are users willing to pay 20cents to use the service is totally unrelated to the cost structure of the company...
It is the structure and the electricity that cost money, but a single byte does not have marginal value at all.
What we need is informed costumers and honest sellers.... (As you see you can get a hosting+unlimited bandwith+nameserver for 20Euro/Year in italy htttp://www.arruba.it just search more)
Google Software update daemon is installed when the application is launched for the first time. The user is greeted with an uninformative message that does not really explain what is about to happen. After the user accepts, Google Update Agent is downloaded and installed [...] it runs on an unchangeable schedule of its own (instead of, say, only when one of Google's apps is launched), consuming system resources. Worst of all it can not be simply removed, since it is downloaded and installed again once Google Earth is launched
Anyone calling the Finns "submissive" towards the USSR has never bothered to read a history book. If the Finns were submissive, Finland wouldn't even exist as a country today. The Finns stood up to Stalin and resisted his aggressive designs
And that is when they were allied with Hitler's Germany.
Nevertheless this law is absurd as much as absurd are part of finnish costumes. A country where there is no privacy and you are eligible to get anyone's identity and tax forms with a SMS isn't a country protecting his citizens right to private life (unless they are gipsies of course).
First of all you should consider that the overall consumption is the sum of the consumption of all the parts you installed in the machine. So putting an additional drive or specially a high end video card will make the consumption skyrocket. After the PC the second piece most energy hungry is the Monitor. A good LCD should be enought to save some energy, LED monitors could even be better but aren't really on the market (Just a Apple one)
The best way to get a energy efficient PC is to buy one disigned to be efficient. The performance on the other hand could not be up to your expectation.
The cheapest choice in my opinion is the eeePC by Asus, it runs on iNtel atom processor and it is a ALL-IN-ONE box. The expensive alternative is a MAC Mini (also mostly made from Notebook parts). You might also consider the combination of Netbook computer coupled with a intelligent router as the Fonera 2.0 coupled to a hard drive (includes FTP, WEB and Torrent client/servers).
There are other choices of course the first one being running everything on a LapTop with no attached devices (around 60Watts in use monitor included)
Do you seriously believe that defending a client on a murder charge amounts to an endorsement of the act?
But we are not talking about murder judgements. We are talking about ACTIVE PROSECUTION OF HARMLESS INDIVIDUALS that are charged under a RICO scheme.
You are not talking about a duty to rapresent a client but rather about the sociopathic behaviour of acting in the name of a corrupt law to obtain a unproportionate amount of money from poor people.
When you make a choice in your life you make a personal statement. Every time you decide who is your employer you take a big decision. There is a speech in the movie Clerks where they debate about the workers on the death star killed by the rebellion. They were working class, supposely the people the rebellion was fighting for, but they choose to work for the evil empire so they deserved to die. Well that's the point.
This guy choose to work for a organization that recklessly goes after private citizens, lobbied the government into absurd laws and hs been twice in judgement for the abuse of RICO tactics ( http://www.p2pnet.net/story/7767 ). This would have rang a bell in any "non sociopathic" human being looking for a job. Me for one would feel very bad in pursuing normal people with small incomes and ruin their lifes just to make a billion dollar industry richer. But this guy looks like he hasn't got these feelings and did indeed choose to work for them. But does being a lawyer qualify you for a moral licence to accept and pratice social unacceptable behavious like those emploed by the RIAA? I don't think so.
He is a lawyer but I hope not all lawyers are made this way. On slashdot there is a very active member that decided, for instance, to have a carreer standing with the people.
In other words Obama "for a change" instead of being lobbyed as his predecessors took a step forward and appointed the least qualified to rapresent people in a public institution. Infact this man with his choice has already shown to prefer money over ethics.
You didn't like RIAA abusing the Law to make profits out of filesharers by suing families, kids and dead people. You ask for a change. You've got it.
Now RIAA makes the law. God bless america.
(Not that voting the other candidate would have help, but a least you would expect it from a Republican... Anyway that's nice to know that you have a kind of security: either party you vote won't make your interests).
why the fuck should society take care of aging musicians, then?
You are wrongly assuming that the musicians (and heirs) have'nt transferred copyrights to the corporations. As a matter of fact the "starving artists" are just used as a coverup for this legalized robbery at the expense of the general public that is royalties.
What makes an artist work more valuable than mine ?
Your work is probably not used by corporate oligopolists (such as those http://www.ifpi.org/) to accumulate a load of wealth wich is then used to corrupt people such as this Andy Burnham into fucking the population who appointed him to defend and promote culture...
You miss a point: The whole concept of europe is based on the concept that some selfappointed burocrats run everything while the elected MEPs have absolutely no power, the parlament "rubberstamps" decisions taken by others... Nations can't decide anymore what's legal nor how to regulate the invasion from north africa even inside their borders. New laws against "xenofobia" are coming into effect whose aim is to suppress free speech.
The problem, or good part of it, is that Sarko is such a id..t that he makes this process remarkably evident to anyone.
Get some information before you relay the official LIES from the european commission. The lisbon arrangments should be called out loud "Lisbon Traison"
The US are about free speech and obviously not free information.
The EU has been providing us with a shameless history of traisons against the people: Take as a expample the scam called "lisbon treaty" that was much indeed the exact copy the rejected constitution, only written in a way noone was able to understand and as a treaty in order to avoid any referendum.
No surprise that both powers are doing things in secret, probably they are planning to hurt their own people, once again.
Mac OS X doesn't have to accommodate variances in the hardware it is running on in the same way that Linux or Windows has to do.
Truth is that OsX DOES have to accomodate variances.
There are several types of CPUs used in macbooks at least 2 different architectures (PCC and CORE 2 - The latter with different steps). Differences in hardware extend also to chipsets, graphic cards, network adapters and other hardware.
Proof that OSX runs flexibly on various platforms is the fact that with proper hacks it can run on AMD cpus that have never been included in apple's hardware.
Slashdot Mirror
but still a better place. Remove them from power at the first offence would be better, sarkosy wouldn't have made past student rapresentative...

This is the behaviour of malware.
A politician sold to the private sector is not breaking news. Obama just took in his staff a MAFIAA lawyer...
It would not be a problem if people were given proper information and the possibility to vote honest politicians (utopia).

Dear sir.
Look here http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/716237.stm - I couldn't find the piece where they were mentioning the Gameboy hardware but I clearly remember it.
And this proves you're a stinky asshole :P - note the funny emoticon after the offending sentence.
A printer contains one or more step-step motors, microcontroller chips, a processor and a flash based firmware.
Assemble it with a hires webcam a little outsource in India/China a AK47 and you have got a very dumb sentry gun.
North Koreans use Gameboy hardware in their submarines... and it's no joke.
That would be Native Finnish....
