I hate to burst your bubble but I'm a BMW owner who doesn't own a garage and my car is not of the beat up variety. It's not like a BMW is that expensive anyway.
Well, I work from home a lot on rather data intensive projects and a 5 Mb/s connection would bring an end to that. I would mean I would either have to move closer to my office or commute 300 kilmeters a day (round trip) neither is acceptable (I'm at the office perhaps 2-3 days a week). High bandwidth means freedom of living the life you want to for many people. I live in area where I can see 1 other house and I can actually make out if someone is home if using binoculars and that's just about how crowded I would like my living area to be. My lifestyle would not be possible for me without high bandwidth.
Agreed, I'm pretty well paid and treated like a real person at my workplace, hence I hardly ever steal and keep my illegal porn operation small enough to not tax the company servers way to much.
What if they didn't put that database on a server facing the internet?
Could that be a good idea?
Or maybe they should just return all their computers since they can't be trusted to use them securely...
Let the flames begin.
I live in Sweden too and I do not see to horror of people finding out how much money I make and what property I own.
People who want to do bad things will find these out anyway so I don't see any reason for secrecy.
And it's actually kinda handy when taking down braggers who say "I make this and that much", one flick of the phone and you can say for sure "no you don't, you make this and that much":)
Don't confuse spammers w/advertisers, and, unfortunately, in the US, w/o advertising, you won't have any support of media (TV, magazines, newpapers, radio, internet)....basically, everything goes away.
uses a tremendous amount of bandwidth. I know we should be arguing that they need new infrastructure, but just try to convince comcast to spend 2 billion dollars so you can watch fresh prince of bel-air.
Not gonna happen.
Well, if I pay for Internet access I pay for access to the whole Internet. Prices would have to be pretty damn low for me to accept this.
Do they inform people signing up that they can only access parts of the Internet?
Doesn't an open beta suggest anyone can join, or does open beta mean that anyone can apply nowadays?
Sounds more like a closed beta to me.
Am I missing something?
I would like to do this test with Vista, OS X and Fedora or Ubuntu. Main problem is, I vowed never to use Vista after reading the EULA. If anyone actually makes the test post your findings.
I must say I doubt Vistas security, not that I have any experience with it but mostly because of the troubles with previous Microsoft products. If someone could prove my doubts wrong I would be delighted./M of K-town

People have bandwidth limits?
How quiant.
Actually it can even be read by economists, which isn't a good thing.

I would love the Överaskad Örn release. Best name ever.

Thus solving the problem once and for all.

...Then, after that, you could make the movements more like handwritting, since people are used to that.
What is this handwriting you speak of? Do you mean how you use your hands to interface with the keyboard?
