That's ~ 100K/sec for an entire month. Suppose you are helping seed the newest Linux_Distro_Goes_Here. Now that Comcast uploads are 100K (no longer 40K), you'll easily pass that limit just on outbound traffic alone. Now I'm sure most people don't spend their computer time uploading linux torrents, but I'd be willing to bet 1 in 5 broadband customers do some sort of heavy network activity (otherwise we wouldn't be hearing all of the complaints about Comcast overselling their capabilities) where 250GB will be an issue.
If you're planning children, don't do matching titanium bands. Fine for you, but not her. Her fingers will swell during the pregnancy, and after they will still end up at least a size and a half larger than she started (and she lost all of the baby weight - more calcium makes the bones grow). Titanium isn't resizable.
A person pirates because they don't want to pay. The reason for not paying varies, but that's all it really boils down to.
From my own experience.. the closest I've ever really been to outright pirating (I think this counts) was continuing to use academic software I purchased after I left school (not for money or work or anything.. just personal use). Years later, as happens to most of us when we age, many of my hobbies/interests/goals have changed. I no longer pursue those 'avenues' facilitated by the software I purchased.. but if I ever decided got back into it, I'd reinstall that software and continue to use with no qualms (as long as I can get away with not needing whatever new features are available - probably) - even though I'm not supposed to now that I'm WAY beyond my academic years.
If I was using as part of my livelihood or for other professional purposes, I'd definitely buy. But really, I have no desire, nor could someone convince me to rebuy my software to regain legitimacy. I have the money for it, but I just don't see the point in replacing what I already bought once (the discount allowed me to purchase over doing without).
I don't really know much about this guy or what he did, so I'm taking 'spam king' at face value.
I find it kind of appalling that there are people who are pleased with what the guy did. It says a lot about the state of our society, our legal/prison system and how self-centered both this spam king and society at large are. The guy was sentenced to 'pound in the a$$' prison to which he ultimately killed himself and his family - all over the nuisance of email spam.
I don't know.. to me, that's really kind of depressing. Not at what he did (which was horrible - don't want that to be understated), but that he felt he had no recourse or chance at living life later. His only option was murder/suicide. It really speaks volumes.
The best OS from Microsoft was Win2000 (sp4). DirectX, no WGA/paranoia checks, highly polished UI (the standard Windows theme peaked with 2k), true multitasking and real software compatibility (compared to the only other earlier worthwhile OS.. NT4 workstation).
My wife had miscarriage about a year ago and we had a much larger than 6inch blotch of dried blood in the car. His excuse for the blood does seem quite dumb.. but he sounds much more like a 'doesn't get it' Asperger candidate than some killer criminal mastermind.
To clarify.. my use for Mac/OSX is Logic Pro (musician/composer - specific software needs), something not available for Windows AFAIK. As that is the program I use, my choice of OSX makes sense for my situation. But as you seemed to focus more on hardware, your needs sound more hardware specific and would be solved with the appropriate hardware.
If that's what you want, why don't you just run Windows/Linux/BSD/whathaveyou? If the hardware specs are the driving factor behind your wants/needs, you should use the system that accommodates them. I use a MBP/OSX (both as a laptop and desktop) so I get why you would want your preferred OSX setup, but really, shouldn't the software accommodate what you want to do with the hardware? For the most part, the same software is available for both platforms. Computers are just tools to be used to accomplish your task.
What we call MacOS (non OSX) should be broken into - sorted from earliest to latest:
Lisa OS (v1) System Software (v2-6) System 7 (was a rewrite akin to MacOS-OSX), followed by v8 and v8 - which was where the MacOS designation originated MacOSX
So you've got 4 separate Macintosh OS's Apple has developed.
Not to mention A/UX (Apple Unix), Apple AIX or Apple Netware (codeveloped with respective entities) or Copland (never publically released afaik).
Exactly.. the settling of America (and subsequent fights for independence) basically started the roles of private home/land owner. Prior to this, everything was owned by some monarchy somewhere and could only be granted by said monarchy.
Many parts of our US legal system are based on ownership rights. Often overlooked and we take it for granted, but it was all highly revolutionary when proposed. Corporations want to be the new monarchy.
It doesn't fucking matter what the intentions are of the person leaving the sofa.. if you picked up the sofa - REGARDLESS OF WHY IT WAS THERE - that's theft. You obtained something you where not otherwise permitted to have. THATS THE FUCKING THEFT.
Someone leaving their house unlocked - that's not implied consent to enter. Someone fails to thoroughly password protect a website that obviously should have been - that's not implied consent to log on. Someone downloads an mp3/avi/whathaveyou without some exchange of payment - that's not implied consent to listen.
IT's all about YOU. What you do. If you get something you shouldn't have, regardless of why or how... that's wrong. JFC I'm so tired of the rationalizing that goes on here all under the guise of protection of freedom.
I tried recreating steps on my MBP but I have Vista Basic which doesn't appear to have Encrypting File System support. The machine that did this was a Dell 530 with Vista Business.
In lieu of that, this is what would happen. I would download a.mov file or would export one via Sorenson Squeeze - pretty much the only way I had Quicktime files under Windows - and without any direction or intervention on my part Vista would automatically encrypt it.. end up with the green file title.
I didn't know what the green text meant and it wasn't until I tried copying one of the Quicktime files to a USB key that Windows popped up a dialog saying the file would be copied without security/encryption(?it's been a few weeks, I forget the wording?) as the target device doesn't support it. From there, Google was my friend.
I did not have any other common media type on the computer (no mp3, wmv, avi, etc - it was a work machine) so I don't know if this was specific to Quicktime. The only thing I do know was this encryption was applied to EVERY.mov file I had on the machine and it was done without my request.

You youngins are spoiled.. back in my day, we took our BP6s and dual celerons with 512KB cache (per) and we were grateful!
They come with a webserver installed and ready to run at boot by default. You've gotta hit the Enable button first =)

White gold and platinum are good alternatives.
platinum and moissanite. Platinum for her (it's classy) and moissanite for me (nothing says I love you like jewels from an asteroid).
But they are!
I'll give myself a *woosh*... I'm not quite sure where you are going with that... (the 2nd family bit)
Some great music there! Already found a few Blue Bird Glenn Miller recordings I've never even seen before (old timey big band jazz ftw).

In essence..
Americans = big picture conservative and dumb
Europeans = big picture liberal and smart
Always figured it was kind of like that, but it's nice to see regional/national software purchase motives back me up. :)

I think the point was to prove Vista runs like a dog.. period.
It takes 1 minute to load a BD disk - before you get to the forced previews, etc?
That sounds dangerously close to surpassing "passive entertainment" and heading into "annoyance".

As per the topic, Bittorrent fixed the problems - didn't cause them - so a failing router is not likely the problem. 99% likely it's bad ram.
