So if you call them up and tie up their line and person, which will probably cost them $10, it will cost you $1; but if you leave it, they will charge you $10?
It's like they're punishing the customer for saving AT&T money.
"Kids, if you have money to waste, give your charity to the poor, not the rich bastards that own Starbucks and Comcast."
If Starbucks and Comcast weren't greedy and reinvested excess profits back into employees and infrastructure, then it wouldn't be "Wasted"
The more money gets exchanged, the better the economy. The problem is when companies like Comcast and Starbucks just sit on the money instead of increasing quality and/or paying their employees more. Both create jobs or create higher paying jobs.
"all other providers (of which there are several) also charge similar fees": This argument only works if all providers have similar coverage/phone-selection/etc.
There was a recent customer study that showed AT&T had one of the largest customer bases while having a customer satisfaction near 0/5. How does a company have horrible customer satisfaction while retaining its customer base? By having an "effective" monopoly. All the down sides of a monopoly without technically being one. Implicit anti-trust?
"Because our budget for this plan is of zero euros"
Not arguing against you, but he said "plan". I guess his plan doesn't include "staff, equipment etc". My guess is he said what he said to sound sensational. Unless he truly has volunteers doing all the work.

No one else to vote in. They come in based on default.
The problem is our system determines the winner based on the most votes. If you got 1 vote and everyone else got 0, you win! Still doesn't mean the majority wants you in.
I've seen an almost identical drivel in nearly every IPv6 story, all up-voted +3 at the time I read them. Do you have a template, then vote your post up using alt accounts? Am I not seeing a sarc tag and people just didn't vote funny because that wouldn't give karma? I'm not sure how to respond, other than you must not be an admin if this was a real post. If this was a big whoosh on my part and you're just joking, well done sir. You troll with conviction.

You must not understand how routing tables work. hint: You need to create subnets to route, which also removes a lot of usable IPs. You can NEVER use every IP.
High school was a waste of time(for me). I came from on of the higher(top 10%) ACT/SAT scoring schools in the nation and Soph/Jr/Sr was a joke. Like state paid baby sitting.
I knew I wanted to work with computers since I was ~11. I'm not saying everyone knows what they want to do, but in cases like mine, there should be alternatives.
Many engines have "variable" compression. They just leave the exhaust valves open for a bit, letting the air escape instead of compressing it. Well, this is the simplest form.
I don't work with engines, but just a few things that I'm not absolutely sure about but think I understand
1) explosions = rapid "burning". Engines run on explosions as they cause rapid burning by highly compressed air with fuel
2) Knocking = Pinging = Detonation which is caused by multiple shock fronts colliding
3) Pre-ignition, can be attributed by low octane, happens when the fuel ignites before the compression stroke is complete. In the case of low octane, is caused by too high of compression for the given octane. It can also be caused by hot spots. E85 seems to help a lot with the compression version of Pre-ignition. Saab had a car that ran on E85 with a 13:1 compression ratio and a turbo, which is crazy for regular fuel. It toned back the turbo and let open the vales a bit during the compression if non-E85 was detected.

Since Windows is actually secure now-a-days and malware can't just install itself without the user running it, I use the Linux approach. If you know what you're running, you don't need a virus scanner.
Since ALL of my applications fall under the Microsoft, Open Source, Steam, Blizzard, and Chrome category, and nearly all of my visited websites are a small group of known websites that I have been using for the past decade, I'm not too concerned about malware getting installed.
"Express version has severe DB size limitations, active connections capping, cpu/core limitations, and no replication whatsoever"
Those are all enterprise features that you pay for(connection limit has been removed in 2008R2). I'm not defending MS, but you're trying to make it sound as if the product is bad when it's the licensing. 10GB per DB isn't that bad(16DB limit for a total of 160GB). If you need more than that, the licensing cost of the full product is probably cheap. MSSQL is one of MS's better products. When you have to start using transactions, it does( or did a year ago when I read the reviews) much better than the competition(factors, not percentages).
I work in an MS shop and the licensing is such a small portion of the overall cost, it's almost moot. Most of our cost is in having staff monitoring our servers and upgrading servers/infrastructure and electricity/cooling, stuff like that.
The licenses are the cheapest part of running a datacenter. "dumping $10-15 grand" is nothing.
"$1500 Visual Studio"?! We pay $800(~$266/year) per person and that covers 3 years of MSDN . That gives us full access to betas, the newest Visual Studio, and all the products for devel purposes. I can download anything from Win 3.11 to Win2008R2 datacenter.
"there's basically 0 documentation, and you're on your own" Not on my own. MSDN also gives me access to MS devels. Something like a max of a 2 working day turn around on forum posts, although most get answered quickly by the general community. I've posted questions that no one could answer, then had the senior developer of said tech give a detailed response.
I'm not saying MS is better, but not nearly as bad as you portray them to be.

Not saying it doesn't, but I can't seem to find examples or discussions about these kinds of questions.
If you do a gentle OC without touching the voltage, you can't damage the chip. Two things damage a CPU: Heat and Voltage. Even if it locks up, it's not going to hurt anything. I squeezed a +10% OC and an 8% under-voltage on my GPU. 10% faster at full load and runs cooler than stock settings.

" It is not much different than movie theaters offering cheaper tickets for matinee showings even though it there is no difference in costs."
That's a supply and demand issue most of the time.
AT&T has lots of supply and little demand. How does that jack up the price?
They pay for it because of a lack of choice.

We need a mix of all kinds of schools for the mix of all kinds of people. It's just a matter of figuring our which kind of school to send a given kid.

Yeah, pre-Vista was pretty bad at network security. Assuming you have Vista/7 patched, there's not much someone can do over a network to break in.
