I think a difference was that each of them really did want to learn the material but many students today taking these courses just want a job and have no personal interest in the topic.
I'm currently a third year at a technical school, and while my major is not specifically CS, it's similar(networking/sysadmin/IT) and I am surrounded by a lot of CS students.
When I transferred here was I was down right shocked at how many people in any of the given technical departments had little to no interest in their field of study. You are dead on when you say the difference is whether they have a personal interest in learning the topic. It's almost disgusting how many of my fellow students say they are only studying X because it pays well.
The difference is that the restaurant is stating the limit, TWC is not. If they clearly stated the limit, and the limit was reasonable(their previously advertised caps were not) people wouldn't care so much.
iirc I have a 250gb cap on my comcast line. I wasn't happy when they introduced it, but it's far above what I will use in a month and they stated it clearly. I wasn't thrilled but I don't have an issue because they were upfront and reasonable about it.
I think Verizon is in a bit of a tight spot right now(or they feel free and clear, one or the other). The way I see it they CANNOT implement caps of any kind, whether they want to or not. It would undermine their entire marketing strategy for the past few years with Fios being the savior of consumer internet with awesome speeds.
I only wish they were available at my house. across the street has it, but not us:(
MS actually does have buses for it's employees. the shuttles run all over Redmond taking people between the various offices. This of course does not mean all the employees ride said buses. Also, iirc correctly they have a bunch of hybrids as well but I don't know what their specific use is.
Also, their campuses aren't setup so you can have a parking lot at each end. MS is HUGE and the have several disjoint campuses throughout the city.
... and let me tell you, this will help more than just MS. The freeways and roads in the area are actually surprisingly limited. During rush hour you can expect 3mi+ backups just to get off the freeway. The current on-ramps and overpasses for 520(which is the freeway i'm assuming this will go over) are also pretty limited. Just getting from one side to the other is a pain in the butt, and a lot of that traffic is just MS workers or their shuttles going between buildings.
If all of the inter-MS traffic can be re-routed somewhere else, it frees up the roads for the thousands of residents and other workers in the area.
In addition to choosing services based on the bundles: I don't watch ESPN and I don't think I ever will and I'll be damned if my ISP isn't offloading the cost of that license to me regardless.

Sue MS for leading you there... This is America, it'll happen
they mean adding another monthly subscription fee.
I don't think these researchers understand the concept of "e-penis"

Wife 1.0 seems to crash with Fatal Exception: Divorce. Any idea when a patch for this will be released?
Hear hear.
After 20+ years of Rap & Hip Hop who else is ready for something with a bit of tune to it?
Yeah, I said it.
My problem isn't the lack of tune it's the overwhelming amount of tune... auto-tune that is.
I think the two 'honorable mentions' might be counted in the 10? Dunno, I wish they would list 1 and 2. Good read though :)
Just because the internet exists, doesn't give you the right to be a sick fuck.
Well said.

...and if there would be a movement back to more thin looking websites to save the bandwidth for the actual data rather than the look n feel.
Can I hear an Amen?! do away with the flash and bubbly crap that so many sites do today, just make it clean and simple! but that's a bit OT

And, if Lee wants a simpler life, then *he* should have chosen it for *himself*, not for everybody.
You're forgetting that they proposed the idea to everyone else and they all agreed. Lee didn't /force/ anyone.
The expansion project has been under construction for well over a year, maybe two by now. Long before the financial meltdown became so apparent.

does that mean all Aussies would go back to the days of the porn-dialer? This could actually turn into a profitable business strategy!
