I agree and disagree. Prioritizing traffic is a good idea. But people should be charged not only bit-by-bit, but also by congestion, packet size, quality of service, infrastructure, and link speed (up and down). I still like the bid method proposed in "Pricing the Internet" (Jeffrey K. MacKie-Mason, Hal R. Varian), which others have talked about but largely dismissed. Also read "The Role of Responsive Pricing in the Internet", http://129.3.20.41/eps/mic/papers/9606/9606001.pdf Note that most people loathe these ideas since they don't want to pay more for their ridiculous usage patterns, but I believe that congestion based billing is necessary wherever congestion exists, and where congestion does not exist it should simply revert to best-effort, zero-value bids anyway.
Looks like funny business in table 6. Can anybody explain in the CBO analysis how 19.4 billion in education spending equals a reduction of 19.4 billion in the deficit?
I can't believe people are still drinking this kool-ade.
Macs almost NEVER go on sale. Go to slickdeals.net and anyway you cut it, you will always be able to get more gaming performance from a PC dollar for dollar (by FAR).
Perhaps a MAC is "worth it" to some, but they have too many value-add features that budget gamers don't need and don't care about.

And how many actual HSPA customers even get over 3Mbps? Check out the speed tests at dslreports.com.
I'm sick of everybody touting these stupid max speeds of a wireless standard, when most vendors won't even implement them. What phone is going to have 4 antennas to reach a 4x4 MIMO rate anyway?
Yes, the license only says sell it to a "third party" but Microsoft interprets this as "unrelated party". But then you'd have to define "unrelated". Microsoft's interpretation is very narrow, and I wonder if that interpretation would be allowed in court.

The key here is wait for a deal, don't just go out and buy. Also, average retail for XBox 360 games is always more than for the average PC game (compare call of duty, left 4 dead, etc).
All you need is a little patience and slickdeals.net! You also have to know how to fill out rebate forms, and tolerate the delay in compensation.

For a grant total of $377, I put together this SLI machine, which has more gaming power than an XBOX 360 elite, and does much more on the side. And I can overclock it (don't know if that's possible with an XBOX).

And what if I want to watch 2 HD streaming movies back to back. Why should I be throttled?
If I'm not willing to pay more than the other guy, then sure I'd understand. But there HAS to be a price affixed to QoS.

Well, Microsoft expects you to pay for a retail license if you build your own computer, but most people still buy an OEM version.
And I quote from Microsoft's OEM partner center website: http://oem.microsoft.com/script/contentPage.aspx?pageid=563841
"Microsoft retail software licenses are the appropriate licenses for the do-it-yourself market. OEM System Builder software is not intended for this use, unless the PC that is assembled is being resold to another party."
"OEM System Builder Software
Must be preinstalled on a PC and sold to another unrelated party...
Cannot be transferred from the PC on which it is preinstalled...
Must be preinstalled onto a new PC using the OPK."
WiMAX is what sprint is referring to when it says "4G"

Parent post needs some funny points.
Microsoft doesn't interpret their own license like you do. I refer you to my other post.

I believe that you are covered under the system builder license as long as you build the PC yourself.
That's what almost everyone believes, but it's wrong according to microsoft:

"Use of OEM System Builder software is subject to the terms of the Microsoft OEM System Builder License: The software is intended for preinstallation on a new personal computer for resale."

Honestly, I find these even more pityful than a journalist writing about memes once and then moving on.
I'm pityful: entirely icapable of using the built-in spell-checker.

As a supporter of Proposition 8, I would be a lot more interested in moving to a state that does not allow for same-sex marriage.
