It's not discriminating against any application, not even the legal ones.
It is sad -- Because there are quite a bit of legitimate and legal reasons for p2p. Anyone who plays Warcraft will know the patches are pushed out via bittorrent. What about the Linux ISOs? Some of the more recent ones fill an entire DVD. You better be 100% sure which distro you want to go with before you download.. just make sure you don't look at too many screen shots / Youtube videos of it or you'll hit the cap still.:p
Has anyone ranked types of governments versus the average internet connection speed in their country? I think it might be interesting...
If Socialism gets me faster, uncapped, intarwebs -- sign me up!
I am a voter from Georgia (USA) and am worried if they did this in two counties over, what happened elsewhere. Saxby Chambliss is my rep (keeping politics out of this) and if he did not win legally...
The voting software should be open source where we all can harden it against hacking. The only thing I can say is that this makes a huge case for that to happen.
Final Fantasy X and X-2 take place on a different world but in the same universe as FFVII. There is an interesting article by one of the creators (Nomura I think) who says that the Al Bhed flew to Gaia (FFVII planet) and became Aerith's "Ancients".
This probably explains the one single reason why open source software, after it has been out in the wild for a bit of time, generally produces code of much better quality. As a programmer, I would be completely lost if I did not know exactly what a function is going to do before I called it.
Oh! Can't forget about http://linuxquestions.org/ ! I have yet to see an RTFM on there, but more like, here are some websites where you can learn how to do X.
It was just a few years ago that my housemates and I were sitting around an old computer trying to install Linux on a computer and connect to the dial up internet. What a nightmare! It seemed an endless cycle of IRQ and AT commands just to finally have the dial up modem call and then refuse to handshake with the remote end. Take that compared to today and yes, Linux is much better now. Even though I put it on my new computer and refuse to ever upgrade to Vista, mainly because of the virgin TCP/IP stack and closed policies, or Mac due to the hardware costs, I don't think that Linux, even Ubuntu, is 100% ready for the mainstream market. I see it as about 80% ready. Until my 73 year old grandmother can boot her computer and figure out on her own how to access the web, email and printing, I don't see the mainstream public moving from Windows or Mac any time soon.

He would have to actually go into the office for that to happen... hey wait.. how do I get one of these jobs again? Is there some kind of job fair? :p

That little Timmy needs to be grounded. :) Always mucking up something or other. :)
