Since ISPs are pure shit when it comes to giving you the bandwidth you paid for I'd entirely favor metered usage.
At least there it would be harder for them to screw you over and get away with it. Because presumably you could also meter your own bandwidth and if your meter and theirs are way apart you can call shenanigans.
As far as I can tell TDS used the lawsuit to stall the city's fiber construction, then while they were tied up in court charged on ahead with their own network, dropping the lawsuit once it was completed.
Unless you have a government in the middle strong enough to referee things and keep companies from hitting each other below the belt, you can't have a free market.
I am a college student, and I'm mopping up 4.0's literally left and right. Yet, I'm probably not going to be all that employable any time soon.
Apart from the economy being in the toilet, I have zero experience in job interviews, social skills, and the general brass tacks schmoozing with the power people that is required to break into the job market, merit be damned. I'd probably do fine once I get into a lab or a cubicle.
Not really. If everyone sucks at the same time, then it must be a systemic problem not the fault of the teachers. Of course, if some teachers can get their students employable in SPITE of the economy being in the toilet...raise time.
It's called management by exception.
And of course every plan can fail if implemented poorly.
My guess is that Apple wants developers to bite the bullet and drink the koolaid so that they won't be able to go anywhere else once Apple's eaten them.
It doesn't matter which side of the cash register you are on, if you agree with others to fix prices at which you will buy something, you are violating anti-trust law.

Unfortunately human nature will put self interest in charge of personal decisions.
The vast majority of people will only give up an asset or incur an expense if they have no other choice.
Basically, no sticks means no carrots.
I'd bet that Microsoft is just using the rootkit as leverage to force people to upgrade.
If anything this will make them EOL XP even faster.
If I agree to sell my soul, am I then liable to God for conversion?
It's an exploit of the kernel, not the application.
I'd bet that the RIAA's settlement devouring extortion machine is doing more damage to the economy than the piracy is...
If ISPs really are hurting that badly for money and think they can't compete, they need to start going bankrupt like good capitalists.

More like a site that can't digest all the traffic being sent its way gets a smaller portion of search exposure from google.

Such a good idea that TDS sued their city to stop it from happening.
...anonymously.
It's only a matter of time before the black hats find it, so by publicizing it and forcing it in the vendor's face they'll see it for what it is.
So it would be a reader's digest?

Did I mention that I was autistic?
To hell with sedentary, I'm more worried about this sort of tech getting into the hands of the thought police.

I seriously don't think ANYTHING can take away the fact that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
It's in mankind's nature to get rich, and indeed, part of the satisfaction of having is someone else not having.
Dear government:
Stay the fuck out of my kid's life when they're at home.
Respectfully, parents.
Plants don't grow very tall if their stems get chewed off before growing season.
Here's a good number:
Average salary of student post graduation.
With the feds sucking up most of the money states really don't have a big tax base to fund out of.
Interesting that two things that IT loves to hate, iPhones and Windows, are both things that their vendors market to the PHBs instead of the techies.

Shoot yourself in the foot? No thanks.
Given a Mac's perception as a graphical designer's blessing, I'm sure Adobe gets lots of sales on Photoshop from Mac users.
Price fixing is still price fixing.
The good in this case, is labor.
