to be fair Virgin's "limit" is at peak times, when you're probably going to find things are a bit slow anyway. I'm on Virgin, and downlod more than that most months, mostly overnight, and I've never had their warning letter. Virgin are pretty up front about their peak time monitoring, and afaict have only recently come up with a figure for triggering their sending of a letter. (for disclosure reasons i work for a company who work for virgin, but have no interest in promoting their services, i'm just giving my experiences)
there's ebid. a friend is doing a lot of selling on there, and hasnt had any issues. or if she has, she hasn't whined at me about them the same way she did with ebay.
um, i've installed 5 different widgets so far without a reboot. ive had the machine off once, though there was electrical work in my building that would last longer than my UPS run time.
with all due respect to you. i think you'll find that wired ethernet is an 802.xx standard. and well, that seems to work quite well with my network cards.
a numpty is an idiot, afaik it is scottish slang, but may be in general use in other parts of the world. i have heard it in Iowa, but that was myself:)
I turned up to the glasgow one ( was supposed to be the host) i had printed the sign and everything, was there about a half housr, nobody seemd to trn up and i went away. which was pretty bad.:(
um. no!
i though the entire point of the GPL was that you could still make money from your code, but had to make tho code accessible. therefore others could make money from you code.

That's odd, since virgin don't limit download with the 50 meg service, and only throttle upload in areas with faster uploads
