I said I couldn't disprove ALL of your points. But there are many points of yours that are completely false, like your false sense of winning arguments.
You still have yet to prove the point that your shitty hosts file program is somehow better than virus scanners, ad block, DNS, and proper use of a computer, but that has always been true.
There was no talking behind your back there, I responded to your insanity again, and you replied with more of it.
The sky is blue APK is annoying Hosts files solve a very small subset of computer problems.
I CHALLENGE you to disprove ALL of my statements, otherwise you are admitting that hosts files are garbage!
But typically a lot of speeders are really, really low IQ types. you see them park on someone's rear bumper for miles flashing headlights, as if simply sliding to the right to pass the slowpoke is way too difficult for them..
Because in some states, passing on the right is illegal. I am not able to find a pretty map that shows this one, so you will have to look into if it is legal in your state.
It is however illegal to drive in the left lane (not passing) in 29 states, that is more than half, so it is something people think about.
I don't have to worry about this shit, because fortunately my local lawmakers were wise enough not to give Comcast a monopoly. I have FiOS, and the option of many other services. My FiOS is $80/mo for 80/80 with no caps (and TV service). I was pointing out to you merely that you didn't address the implied part of the argument which was that it didn't leave enough for anyone else to stream. This was the point of the argument, not picking nits over how close to or over the limit you are with 1 person doing average streaming.
You do know that cordcutters who use their streaming subscriptions, HD at 3GB/hr, four hours a day [google.com], already blows that cap, right? That that's just for one person at less than the national average video usage per day?
What they're doing is stifling competition that hasn't really gotten traction yet. There's a term for that: monopolizing the market. It makes things scarce, it makes them expensive, and it makes them bad.
Your figure was a little less than his, he gave a citation for 4 hours per day, and the 3GB/hr comes from Netflix, so all you are doing is nitpicking his numbers, but not making your own point in any way at all. It still is true that 300GB is low for most any household, it would be low for me if it was just me, but I also have two kids in the house with phones and tablets, and a Tivo and Wii, and computers. I am sure if I checked I would be pushing a TB, and I don't even torrent movies, I either pay for them or stream from Netflix. Your argument did nothing to counteract what he is saying which is that Comcast's limit is designed to stifle Netflix's competition so that people will pay for Comcast's services.
Meanwhile, the person doing the blocking is absolutely for certain breaking the law because it is illegal to drive in the passing lane unless you are passing somebody. If somebody is able to pass you on the right, then you are not supposed to be in that lane.
In 28 states. It is unfortunately not the nationwide law.
As a Maryland resident, I am surprised by that map. I have heard of people being pulled over for doing 5 under on the highway in Maryland, and have come across the ones in the left lane pulling off 5 under being passed by everyone. I would expect that it would fall under an impeding the flow type of law.
Those people going slow in the left lane are causing just as much of an issue. If someone behind them doesn't realize they are going 20mph below the other traffic, that is a serious accident at highway speeds and will involve many others. On a residential street, yes you are being an asshole, but it is unlikely you will get in a 10 car pileup on a residential street.
From experience driving in western Mass, I have to say that is a terrifying thought. You turning on your turn signal tells the other driver they need to floor it to keep you from moving over. Everyone tailgates. I am sure there are other examples, that was what I could come up with off the top of my head.
Seems pretty close to equal D and R, a little more R, but it isn't as clear cut as that only accounts for 1/3 of their political donations (they hat 2x the amount in PACs).
I don't know about where you are, but here in the US, gas prices just fell through the floor. We peaked about $4 a US gallon, and it is now around $2.30 a US gallon. But that is the fun of squeezing Russia, and Saudi Arabia pumping up production to try and crash our fracking.
What games are you playing? I recently downloaded SW TOS, and that was 25 GB for the whole game, I can't conceive of a patch that was that large unless they were upgrading the quality of all the textures to HD or something, which would happen once.
unfortunately, Verizon and Comcast tried to charge Netflix for the caching boxes, and Netflix laughed at them, so we are in the situation we are in due to VZ and CC's shortsightedness and attempt to squeeze every penny.
Comcast is a cable TV provider who is pumping internet over their cables. The nature of the system due to its background as a cable TV network is that the cables are heavily shared. This means that in order to not cause everyone else on your shared link problems, they have to throttle larger users some way. This was the way they decided to do so.
Much like Australia, where they also have data caps. It is to reduce usage of over saturated links that aren't easy to upgrade.
They had taken over the DNS record for the command and control servers. So they saw the computer going out and checking for the next set of addresses to spam, but the computer could not actually send mail.
You can call bullshit, but that doesn't make what you say right.
Except that I have a valid need for the truck, which is why I bought it.
I am the tow car for my kid's Boy Scout troop, I tow one of the trailers, and we take at least one trailer on every camp out. Would you like me to tow these 5000 lb trailers with a Prius, or should I be renting a truck at $80 a day for the 1 weekend a month, and most weekends in the summer (for personal camping)? I'm also looking at a boat, which you really shouldn't tow with even a SUV, but I have seen people do it. Just because the econobox works for you, doesn't mean everyone will be just fine with one.
What does it matter is I disprove all your points? That is not possible, but it also doesn't mean all your points are correct. Some of your points are correct, but no matter how many times you post them, you will not change people's minds, mostly because you irritate people, you are worse than the ads people are trying to block with the repeated inflammatory posting.
So what part of that 23GB does the kids get? How about the wife? Or should we be buying separate internet connections for each person in the house now?
And some people use mote than 1 (up to 3) netflix accounts in a household.
What a waste of money. You only need one account for a household. Netflix allows multiple users on a single streaming account, you can even have separate user accounts on the same streaming account.

LOL, you really are a head case huh?

Now lets see how you like it.
Anyway they go away angry and write a nasty and completely false review of your restaurant on Yelp.
That is commonly called libel, and can be addressed through the legal system.

Here is the citation for Netflix since you seem to think the distinction between 2.25 and 3 GB / hr is so extreme:
https://help.netflix.com/en/no...
They say 3GB, and 7 GB for new 4k streams coming. Now, where is your number from? Oh I see, your ass as you cited no source for 2.25.

If there are 1200 people in a room with a single doorway, that is a fire hazard.

And that one says mostly D, but it is still pretty close split.

Sue them in small claims court for the entirety of the plan for that 6 months. It is breach of contract. I assume you have a copy of the contract?

I have told you before, I don't post AC, I post as Coren22 every time I post. I don't log out, I don't check the post anonymously box, I post as me.
I don't know if I would exactly compare Phoenix with Baltimore as far as urban goes :)
I would expect the population density of your average central/mountain time city is about like the suburbs around here.

Sounds good to me. It is along the lines of including the suicides when talking about gun violence.
I say we follow them home and remove the power meter from their houses. It is what they want for everyone, how about if they live the life now.
