It's not more effective. The prices evolved separately and make no sense when compared directly to each other. This is just another example of how the system has too much inertia to change its ways.
We don't need more corporate apologists justifying the terrible state of home connections in the USA. Companies come up with all this complex shaping crap because they refuse to spend the money on upgrading infrastructure. That is is the real long-term answer to the current network becoming overloaded, not some shell game bullshit of messing with internet traffic.
No case about violating EULAs has ever been brought to court in the US.
I interpret that as meaning companies prefer the current FUD enviroment surrounding EULAs to actually attempting to enforce them, since they may be ruled non-binding.
It's fairly clear they don't meet the legal definition of a contract.
I am not worried about some scary foreign governments.
I am worried by something I really suffer from -- a permanent attack going on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days in a normal year, 366 in a leap year, indistinguishable in nature from this "cyber-terror" scare talk, except it is real and harmful
I actually thought you were going to say "the erosion of our civil liberties in the name of fighting terrorism".
I upgraded the RAM in three different Vista machines, there were no problems and I was not required to reactivate for any of them, unless WGA can somehow do that silently.
Any vehicle built in the last 15 years will have a knock sensor to prevent detonation, so it's a tricky business to determine whether you are getting anything out of premium fuel. The lower gas mileage (caused be the ignition being retarded by the knock sensor) from running on regular gas in a vehicle designed for premium can sometimes outstrip the cost savings of using regular gas. This has to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis... there is no hard and fast rule. The compression ratio and head material (aluminum is less likely to knock than iron) need to be considered.
As for pinging at high altitude, that's unlikely... octane requirement decreases with increases in altitude as their intake charge is less dense, so the baseline fuel map will be richer compared to sea level. Many cars advertise the ability to compensate for altitude change, but that is highly dependent on having a correctly working oxygen sensor.

BitTorrent costs nothing.
Actually, version 6.06, (Dapper Drake) came out in June of 2006.
Other than that, yeah it's x.04 or x.10.
Whoooosh!
Then you would have to use your own bandwidth to host the ads, though.

The fall of the USSR has left a threat gap that our government hasn't been able to fill, yet.
Do 9/11 and terrorism ring any bells?

Football? This is Slashdot!

Why respond seriously to such blatantly obvious trolls?
It's the Blood of Christ, you insensitive clod!
A server is for more useful in a botnet, it most likely runs 24/7 and has a fat internet connection.

Mininova doesn't have its own tracker... i.e. anything you get from Mininova actually comes from somewhere else, most often TPB.
Whoooosh!

Dude, I told you already, she's MY girlfriend, not yours!
I'd go for the Bravissimo ISP, myself. ;)
I installed Ubuntu 9.04 from USB and it was fantastic. Install time is cut down to 6 minutes or so... very impressive.
You're doing it wrong.
