Can't the "Feds" simply say "Right, you have a monopoly on local broadband which you're exploiting to the detriment of the people. You've been at this for a while, but that time has gone. Sort it out with some reasonable pricing and fair contract terms, or we're going to subsidise your opposition so you can't compete except by losing money hand over fist until an equilibrium is reached."
No, it's actually more like how when you buy a car, you can only use the manufacturers parts as replacements or additions, only use their fuel and oil, brake pads and shock absorbers, and only buy these things from their approved $Manufacturer branded retail channels.
An asparagus farm was featured on this program. I can't say I'm surprised at your comment; It looked like back-breaking work. I couldn't believe that the group who worked in a restaurant gave up, though; Two didn't even turn up for work on the last day, and the third worked the morning until the busiest time for the restaurant and then walked out. He was the only guy front-of-house because the rest of the English people who were going the job for the show feigned illness.
I'm fairly sure that the folks who whinged like pansies are roughly as infamous over here as this guy is in the US.
it actually explains what a browser is and does...
It does? I'm looking at the page right now and all I can see is 7 variations of "This browser is fast and pretty" and Apple claiming Safari is the most innovative (it's not), Opera claiming that Opera Turbo "speeds up your internet connection" (it doesn't), and GreenBrowser saying it's f*cking green!
BTW, my winmob 6.5 device can emulate a wireless access point. I've had Linux and Windows clients use it, and I've had Linux and Windows clients share the data connection over USB. I've also had an iPod Touch use data over wireless, so no reason for the iPad not to either.
Chew on them apples you poloneck-wearing, goatee-sporting, Kool-Aid-drinking Apple apologists!
Being someone that works for a major ISP in the department in which we receive and act on copyright complaints, I can tell you... we hate it.
I have absolutely no sympathy whatsoever. I hope every day that they're forced to run the dept that the CFO has a little cry to himself.
Trolling aside, the only solution to file sharing on the internet is to start local-network seeding for torrents etc. Yes, that means the ISP buying terrabytes of storage and hosting files to be downloaded.
Talk amongst yourselves, bribe, extort, blackmail, sue, every other underhanded trick to get authorisation to implement it, and see your problems drop to nothing. Otherwise, the community will break every measure you put in place. Encrypted torrents, port shifting, protocol encapsulation, dynamic hashes, onion routing, then finally darknets. Like DRM, you will never stop the motivated. They will always win.
Your only solution is to make it less time consuming, and a better experience (genuinely, not your jaded interpretation of the word) to be an honest consumer.
The average internet user uses less than 1% of its bandwidth.
If regular users use less than 1% of their bandwidth, why am I getting whinged at for using the whole lot? By definition, the "regular (average) user" will be either the most frequent, the middle of the spread, or the mean average. If that equals 1% of bandwidth use, there can't be many who use the whole lot. In fact, roughly a 100:1 ratio regular to power users.
So, why is my data transfer capped? Oh yes, not enough bolivian marching powder for the CEO.
These are just a variation of lock raking (Drag a piece of metal across all pins while applying pressure to the lower half of the lock). It just makes it easier.
Still, I'd not heard of those before. Thanks for the insight! I'm glad I have a lever lock on my front door too...

Do you mean a nightlatch? If they're fitted wrong then yes, extremely easy to bypass without a deadlock enabled. Basic nightlatches shouldn't be fitted without a mortice lock anyway.
Saying that, if you have a screwdriver and a hammer anyway why pick the lock? You can open a window with a hammer (for a certain definition of "open").
High res images at a couple of hundred metres (high enough to read the peaks on your house key) between the time it takes you to take your keys from your pocket and put the key in the lock is well into the realm of serious photographic equipment and prowess (insuring your camera and lens for more than your car).
As for lock picking, have you ever seen someone do it? A seriously good lockpick will spend a good 15 minutes on his knees fiddling around with the tumblers (on a pin tumbler lock, forget lever locks) and is only really feasible if you have expensive locks. Otherwise the barrel will be drilled out as it is more efficient.
An opportunist thief will always go for the weakest point of failure; Smash the door, break a window etc. They don't care about keeping it neat, just about getting in and out as fast as possible.
Voting for the BNP / UKIP / any other far right / left party is not a protest, it's an extremely dangerous decision. They often have so few broad policies, or any agenda outside of their own little niche, that any power given to them would be detrimental to the rest of the country. I don't mean that only their supporters would benefit, but that anything they haven't considered or aren't up to speed on will stagnate and turn gangrenous under their rule.
Could you imaging UKIP healthcare policy? How about fiscal planning and taxation? Oh, no, they only want us to be out of Europe.
I'm betting that the servers are down because the crackers figured out how to get the online content hosted locally. This would be the only way to stop them.
The front of the case tells you about the DRM: "This game requires a constant internet connection for play" is displayed in big red letters (at least in UK stores).
Game says "Internet connection lost" and quits (or goes to main menu etc). The first thing I would do, as an ID10T, would be to open up IE and hit Google.com. Oh, that works? Hmmm. Try the game again. "No internet connection." Hmmm, but Google works! BBC.co.uk... That works!
Head to the store and NERD RAGE on the clerk until he takes it back (as most UK game retailers don't accept PC games back for refund unless faulty, and they will argue it's the DRM. Sometimes raging so the other customers leave is the only way).

That might be part of the second study.
The one which tests the effect on adults.
Can't the "Feds" simply say "Right, you have a monopoly on local broadband which you're exploiting to the detriment of the people. You've been at this for a while, but that time has gone. Sort it out with some reasonable pricing and fair contract terms, or we're going to subsidise your opposition so you can't compete except by losing money hand over fist until an equilibrium is reached."
Flying a minigun across town or over the hill to zap a mortar team will occur to someone.
Self fulfilling prophecy?
Also this jet pack apparently works with fans instead of jets.
Which is probably good news for your front lawn and your calves. And someones head when you land next to [them].
This is the "hot chick" referred to above.
Try putting a tagged item of clothing between two baking trays and tape them shut.
(I have no idea if this will work, but I suspect it would).

Wait, what?
Sorry, wrong video. I'm not searching for "guy punches girl in face" though. I'm certain you know which one I mean.

It sucks that the implementation is browser-specific, but hey! It's still there.

What use is that?!
All I want is something that will run Oblivion and output full 1080 video to a TV.
They do the legwork already. Pick a budget

Someone's suffering from RAS Syndrome!
I've seen the sig "My memory is full of llamas."
Maybe this is the next stage: "My DNA is full of gnomes."

Indeed. I've heard it called raking, but it's the same principle.
You've watched too much CSI, bud.

That would be hilarious.
