I can't see why a domestic user needs that speed. I've got virgin cable and the 20MB is plenty for me.
Perhaps this has something to do with their Tivo deal and on-demand content?
And 640kb of RAM ought to be enough for everybody.
The fact that you can't see past tomorrow, doesn't mean other can't.
In the worst case, Google could go to the European Court of Justice since the European E-Commerce directive "says that "technical intermediaries" – web content hosts – are not liable for bad content but the creators or video posters are."
Then you are lucky to have never tried Civilization I on Amiga 500. It took 20-30min for 1 turn at the end of the game.
P.S: I'm looking forward to the new AI, I demand nothing less then the best AI a computer game has to offer, past CIVs have spoiled me.
Never, ever install the PDF plug-in, for any browser. They are slow as hell and open up security issues.
Always open PDF files with a stand alone program and for added security make sure it ain't Adobe.
20/20 for 26E a month here.
My city has 10.000 inhabitants, so you don't need a huge population to make it profitable.
The only reason I can see to not have optic lines in cities above 10.000 people is political laziness.
By limiting the freedom of expression you limit creativity. Sure some corporations are losing some money to free distribution, but it is their problem to solve, it's the natural evolution of business, adapt or die.
As for other countries evolving, the more advanced they are the bigger market and demand they create.
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
I hope there won't be a need for the 3rd step with AI, but as history teach us, humans are creatures of habits.
Maybe, but the fact still remains that Windows + IE fully patched to the latest version gets hacked in seconds every year at any mayor hacking event.
I don't know about you, but I don't feel like using a system that can get infected in seconds by just visiting the wrong site.

The next big thing will be 3D Movies and games.
And what is the upload speed, also 10Mb?
I'm not a layer, but for privacy reasons you can't touch someone else property, without their explicit consent.
And no matter what you put in the EULA you still can't get this permission.
LOL @ active desktop.
You knew a system was infected the moment you saw active desktop enabled.
EULA != law
If it were that easy to check for and find all infections, we wouldn't have them.
This ain't the problem. The problem is that you are not allowed to fix a computer that isn't yours without the explicit consent of the owner.
Maybe it is time to allow only mechanics to drive cars. At least it will solve congestion problems.
Luckily, I've setup my server farm in my old bomb shelter.
For security reason I'm backing up the whole net using Torrents. :)
a.k.a. All your base are belong to us.
Funny because it's true.
Don't the Italians have an appeals process?

See this Euractiv article for more.
Of course they will win at the end. This case just makes you wonder if there is a system in place to remove incompetent judges.
Yet another reason not to bother with BR.
When you have fast Internet why do you need physical media?
This is why you press the "-" button near the news.

Avarice, greed, and malice would imply some thinking. :)
Monopoly situations are created by political laziness.

This, my friend, is a fantastic solution.
Only if you think as the only AI the self aware AI. If you are not that demanding you can already see a sign of intelligence in this botnet.
+1 Suspend is an awesome function to quickly disable viruses.
