They do allow you to stream it from your main PC, which sounds like an interim step to get over the "no games for the linuxes" problem.
Cautiously optimistic.
Yeah, I heard that too. It's time I start playing with some high brightness IR LEDs. Hell, you could even spell "idiots" and they wouldn't be able to do anything - it's not illegal to carry a battery and a bunch of LEDs.
I think having "PIRATE" spelt out across the back of my jacket would be brilliant, and it could result in a very funny conversation as you feign ignorance and they try and explain what they have seen.
I ran into the installation size surprise when I was testing server 2008 - I was pretty surprised when the system partition was about 20gb a few days after install without me installing anything on it.
I was a ISP support chap in a previous life, during the blaster days.
A fairly common reaction when explaining to people that they had been infected, was to be shouted at for "sending my PC viruses".
Sadly I think that before any quarantine plans can be implemented a pretty major shift in user perception must occur - otherwise the level of bitching that will occur will be apocalyptic.
However, I don't work in support anymore - I say go for it;)
I disagree. I do the IT for a small business, and I love what I do.
Pretty much exactly what its like for me. I work for a company with less than 30 employees, with remote workers in 3rd world countries. The IT is really pretty interesting, on a shoe string budget, and I get a lot of input into the strategic side of not just the IT, but the company.
I took a bit of a hit in the pay department, but if thatâ(TM)s not a problem for you then I couldn't recommend it more. For me the benefits far outweighed the salary drop.
So you either wind up with an account with an ISP where you get to speak to tech support marginally (OK, only marginally) more helpful than a potplant with a service which tends to stay up - but they reserve the right to disconnect you on the say so of some little shit in the BPI - or you have an account with an ISP which is almost impossible to work with but they won't disconnect you just because the BPI says they should. Most definitaly true unfortunately. I've run the gambit with UK ISPs, recently ive tried plusnet (even the highest package diddn't give me a high enough limit), blueyonder (who were pretty much fantastic for a spell) and now obviously the blueyonder+NTL clusterfuck that became virgin. If someone has any suggestions for a decent ISP over here, im all ears. Contract with virgin is nearly up...
They can say anything they want to ISP's but if I were a CEO i'd be calling their bluff in as public a press conference as I could find. Looks like some of them are taking this approach.

No Nobel prize. Less range than a Prius. Lame.
Well played sir.
The original sentence was probably something like "I like a bagel with my coffee."
I think his hovercraft may be full of eels actually.

Replying to remove bad mod. Went for Goat, hit troll.

This is how they fit 20gb onto a 3gb DVD.
So its using hardlinks, but the kicker is I think every installer, and explorer report the size as multiples of the actual file size.
Id love somone to tell me that I'm wrong here, as that seems pretty crazy to me!

Perpetual motion ?
Yeah, either I haven't had enough coffee today or they are promoting the wrong aspect of the project here.
Consider me disputed.
That will Teach me to google it and post the first link.
Fair enough. No disputing violent crime has risen in the UK since the ban.
In what sense are home invasions "the norm" in Britain right now?
Seriously, I would be interested to see the facts behind that one. Same for the criminals being interviewed.

So its not all bad...
This seems to be the way the adverts are going ;)
