My price has gone up (last year I believe, to $50) here in western MA, but the speed has always been the same and everything, and they're not very strict about port 80, either...
If they have to call me up to nag me for a donation, then I would argue that "charitable" donation isn't made entirely out of love -- it's partially done to avoid being nagged again.
When have you EVER donated to ANY charity and not gotten a phone call from them twice a year for the next 5 years?
Actually, it was train station announcement. Yes, the "Garble Lozenges", and the audio signal is run through a Van De Graaff generator!
Or how about the guy who sits inside vending machines and pushes the snacks out when you press a button? Or how Chineese food is piped to all places in the country from a central location? Man, that book taught me everything I know...
Soon, you'll pay by the minute again for Internet access. They'll be service plans, just like cel phones. Your broadband with be capped at 56k speeds, and limited to 500MB a day.
If there is so much stress on the cable networks, obviously they wern't constructed or designed properly. Give people fast-as-hell access and everyone is going to sign up and take advantage of it? WELL DUH!
How does the virus both encrypt and un-encrypt data on the hard drive?
This virus would encrypt physical media while it's in use and then add a hook to the i/o system to decrypt as the machine acesses the sectors, whilst not actually touching the disk (i.e. leaving the disk itself transparently encrypted). Then, if ani-virus software removes the virus, the disk is trashed, because they computer will read the encrypted sectors as normal data and get scrambled crap.
Now, this has already been settled in court. Apple claimed to have released the first Risc PC, oh, two years after Acorn released a home machine actually called the "Risc PC", based on the ARM6 RISC processor. The court stopped Apple from making the claim, and awarded a nominal sum of compensation.
Fine, first company anyone actually bought anything from.;-)
It's this decade's "cool title thing". Don't you remember in the 90s it was making up words like "InterBiz" or "TechCOM"? Perhaps even "ThinkGeek"? Oops I've said too much.;-)
Not bloody likely. It's like signing up for a massage, and complaining that you signed up for a massage when a heavyweight boxer shows up to pound the crap out of you.
...I would complain! Just like these guys, I signed up for a massage, not an ass-kicking.
No, one of those personals sites that you mentioned.
Every chick from Toronto is fucking hot. Every last one.
Most other chicks, especially US chicks, are little 17-year-old psycho bitches who insult everyone to try to look cool, and there is alot of bullshit drama there.
The only way to get updates is if you have XBox Live. If you have XBox Live, you're already agreed in fine print to let MS update your XBox at their lesure. Sucks to be you.
I agree with all the posts I'm seeing about the whining about Linux on XBox. Seriously, I applaud the effort, but anyone who thinks it's going to get working easily and they're someday going to build a server farm with XBoxen because their cheaper than PCs, I got news for you: No fscking way. Microsoft doesn't want that to happen because then they loose money on the deal. You're not being screwed, an XBox is not a PC. Get over it. It's like being pissed off because your Super Nintendo doesn't have a web browser.
Next, you'll be bitching that TiVo is evil for patching their PVRs to prevent a hacked version of KaZaa from being installed which can download movies directly to your TV.

...so gimmie my 20 bucks.
Actually, I was just trolling, but good call.
Why do I get the feeling that anyone could reply like this to any argument to attempt to discredit anything anyone says?
Cuantos Polackos lleva el tornillo en una bombilla?
Dos.

Damn, I'm 0 for 2 in this thread now. Time for bed.
Damn.
Well, fuck VeriSign then, fuck them right in their stupid asses.
That was possibly the most straightforward explaination of God I have ever read. Props to being enlightened.
