So what you're saying, with the numbers you just gave, is that instead of making $1280000000 from 32 great movies, a studio should spend the same amount of money it would have cost to make those 32 movies on the budget for a single movie, and only make $825000000?
WASTE has been dead for a long time. It was revived by some dude a few years ago (great coincidence since I had just found it a short while before he started working on it), but he stopped working on it again.
Sites like BTJunkie Actually had Real Traffic?

BTJunkie No More?

People actually use sites like BTJunkie or ISOHunt? I thought they were just spam sites that tried their best to get you to download their virus infested "downloader" or get you to pay for torrents.
Why are you comparing DSL to Rogers' cable? Why are you comparing some DSL reseller that I've never heard of to Rogers? DSL resellers in Canada are usually around $30/m. Cable resellers are usually around $54/m for no caps at 24/1, or $45/m for 300GB cap. $30ish for 16/1 with 300GB or no caps.
Either you are very uneducated and just called the number on the first flyer you got in your mailbox, or you're just being paid to come in here and tout Rogers.
Are you retarded? More than 80% of Canadians live in concentrated areas of the country. More than 1/7 of the population lives inside of a 7000 square km area.
What? Are you saying that Rogers' incompetence is due to 1/7 (5.5 million) of the population of the country living in an area that's less than 1/7 the size of Estonia?
From my observations, I have concluded that you are retarded. This is because you think that every single square mile in Canada contains only 10 Canadians. Toronto is about 1/7 (more than 5 million) of the population of Canada. Toronto's land area is 0.0007% of Canada's total.
Also, security deposit? No, that doesn't exist. Renting a modem? Yeah, if you choose rent to own instead of buying a modem upfront, or getting one for half the price at a store.
Why are you comparing the costs for TekSavvy's DSL service with Rogers' cable service? On top of that, you're touting the special deal that you got for Rogers, for the first 12 months most likely, as if that's the normal package that anyone else would get.
That $62/m (which is the total per month, as it includes that taxes) is for 24/1 service with no cap (truly unlimited, unlike the liars Bell and Rogers). You also won't get throttled as you do with Rogers, if you use TekSavvy.
Rogers hasn't been properly maintaining their network. They have massive slowdowns at night, for many people. They nearly crippled the entire city for months and about half of it is still waiting for upgrades. Their prices and caps are horrid. Their overage charges are a giant scam. They are, or only recently stopped, throttling traffic. Their speed tests are all lies because of "SpeedBoost."
Why is this even posted here, on Slashdot? This is such a fucking load of bullshit, paid for by Rogers. What a sad state that morons will actually believe any bullshit written by a company that was paid by the interested party to write it. Canadians may be able to access the Internet pretty much anywhere in the country, but that doesn't change that the cost to access is still stuck at the rates Canada had back in 1999. Throttling, retarded caps, insanely high prices, pitiful amount of speed allowance. Shit like this getting posted is what makes Slashdot a giant piece of shit most of the time.
A friend of mine bought a refurb Dell because of the last update to MacOS. Apple breaking MacOS even more than it already was pushed him to put his Appple computer into the closet and buy a Dell.
Apple was all but dead when computers and, more importantly, the Internet started getting very popular. Apple hasn't done anything for computing other than hold it back.

You sound like those people who rage against something, meanwhile, in private, they do the exact thing they rage about not doing.
When I point out the obvious child porn trading, for profit making purposes, this is the response I get: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2633373&cid=38788719

Wow, that almost sounds like a library.

You are still being scammed, though, with your insane monthly cost along with a cap that you will hit after 11.38 hours of full speed downloading.

You're right, it just sucks for the other 34.2 million people in the country.
Who, exactly, are you talking to? "Canada" never said it had better Internet access. Some shitbag ISP paid some random company to make that claim.

... keep in mind that Google started charging for use of its mapping API once the free version had come to dominate the market.
I'm not really seeing the problem here.
Am I supposed to care about their hack? I don't trust Symantec or Verisign.
Do you know what a voice recorder is?
No, most "creators" don't, actually.

No, they really aren't.
Nearly every mobile phone had voice command support before Apple started making mobile phones.
