The gas company sells me gas by the cubic meter. The water company sells me water by the cubic meter. So why not have the ISP's sell me throughput by the cubit. Fixed that for ya.
Um, not to sound racist or anything, but wouldn't the terrorist just send their women to blow up the planes then? You know, the ones that cover their faces with veils? Epic fail.
I have to say that, having owned one of the very early CFL types several years ago and being very disappointed with it, I was VERY surprised at these new ones. Instant-on brightness was equal to the 100W incandescent it replaced, and it actually got BRIGHTER after a minute or so. I'll have to look into these instant on lights. I can't stand them personally. I'd never use them. Mercury is never a good thing to work with. (I work at a college and a "troublesome" professor caused a not so small mercury spill that cost half a mil to clean up.) I work under fluorescent lights all day and it hurts my eyes something wicked. What I really hate most is the time delay from switch to full brightness. My mother decided to switch every bulb in her house to them and not tell anyone. I almost broke my ass open falling down the basement steps because I expected the light to come on instantly and didn't actually light up until I fell halfway down the two flights of stairs. I always forget, every damn time I go there. At least I only slip on the first step now instead of down all of them.
Now I can help prove they are spoofing packets not only my torrents but my browsers and games and normal effin' downloads from websites. (Took me two days to legally download a 400MB file from a legitimate website because the transfer would stop halfway through and I'd have to start from scratch all over again. Did this 8 times over the two days for the same damn file.) At least I'm hoping it will help. I have not RTFA. This is slashdot afterall...
If there is 1TB on that disc in 200 layers I would imagine one good scratch would seriously bork a good chunk of the data. Although they were lame when they first came out, those "trays" you used to have to put CD's into for the first optical drives would be beneficial here. Maybe narrow them down to slim jewel case size. I could really use one of these though. I have just over the amount of space that a DL-DVD holds in photos that I have to backup. Unfortunately I've not had a single disc work properly over multiple systems yet. So they are basically a waste of money for me. I can backup to multiple DVDs but it is quite annoying. Not to mention being able to take all my dvd collection and toss it on to one Uber-ray disc would save a crapload of shelf space. (I watch my movies off my computer hooked to my tv) Being able to fit over 200 DVDs on one disc... That's pretty damn cool.
After they required stronger passwords, some managers complained, so they 'compromised' by allowing blank passwords This is the kind of idiot move my stepfather would do. Growing up he used to yell at me for "putting a password on the computer." So I'd take off his admin access and then wipe the password. Then get yelled at since he "couldn't do anything." If you can't be trusted to remember one frigin' password you can't be trusted to have access. Eventually I got fed up and changed his password to "a". Man that was fun to watch...
Swiped the vinyl albums from my stepdad when I was in gradeschool-highschool (circa 1990's). Played them on a fisher price record player. Good times...
Do we have a definitive list of what hardware is actually running this copy protection? Is it currently implemented or just going to be in the future?
I just got a new system a few months ago. If this is on it I'll be pissed as all hell. (ASUS P5E3 premium mobo & intel QX9650) Granted, I haven't been stopped from playing any of my no-cd cracked games.
Are there any plugins/addons for firefox that actively prevent the ads from being loaded onto your computer? This would really help with bandwidth issues as well as helping to prevent some malware I would imagine.
6Mbs/768Kbs actually. 35-40kbs upload is the highest I've ever gotten consistently. 450kbs download is the highest I've ever gotten on massively seeded & peered torrents (2000+). There's another connection that is wireless in the area that I tried to connect to (also from comcast) and got the same exact results. I have to throttle my torrent uploads to 10-15kbs in order to just get the webpages to load within 5 minutes a piece (frequently still getting a "cannot connect to" error or half the webpage graphics not loading). If I shut down the torrent program and wait 5-10 minutes the webpages load almost instantly.
All those hoes could be expensive though. I mean I like watching chicks when I'm working too, but it's hardly conducive to keeping costs down when you're paying streetwalkers to distract your workers...
My torrent stops registering massive packet forgery and my uploads stop getting throttled to 1/5 the original speed after 5 seconds from initialization. As well as my web-browsing speed, and my gaming speed, and my windows/ubuntu updates speed...
Eh, I hear abbott has massive turnover rates on their employees. I almost had a job there but I didn't get it because I had a problem with euthanizing puppies. I also turned down a job offer collecting mosquitos for West Nile Virus research. $10 an hour with a high risk of catching West Nile? Where do I sign up!? Yeah... *click*

There's one more choice besides $0.99 and $0.10, it's $0.00.

It's bound to happen. Nature has already made the best pillows ever: Boobs.
I think everyone is forgetting the important matter at hand, that GP's math is incorrect.
âs(XÂ) = ± X â X
If you can't read this...
root(X^2) = + or - X != X
