Great game! Ronaldo's double gave him 8 for this world cup, securing the golden boot, and 12 lifetime, tying Pele for most goals by a Brazilian in the final. Amazing to see Brasil win it after all the trouble they had in qualifying, using 4 coaches and 70+ players!
Interestingly enough, Brasil will have to re-qualify for the next world cup since from now on the champion doesn't automatically get in. Germany does not have to qualify because they're hosting it.
That's not the case with this box. I use it on average 8 hours a day, yep I'm lame.. but that's the case. I play mp3s, I use X, and I burn cds. No crashes/glitches/errors, I couldn't be more proud of the operating system which I've chosen.
238 days of uptime on 2.4.3 since sometime in May, it's been quite stable for me. It IS a personal box so I don't have to worry about those local exploits with symlinks.. and the other thing.
I do not understand the big fuss about horizontal alignment. It would just seem to be more of a hassle to play. With the vertical configuration your arms are in tighter, allowing you to play in more confined spaces. I used to play tetris lying on my side in bed, but with the new gameboy one arm would uncomfortably be up in the air. It just seems easier to keep your arms rested and play for long hours with the old config. Aside from the ability to have LR buttons on the top, what's the advantage?
Here in Edmonton, Alberta, my cable company, (Powersurfr), imposes a stiff quota on our cable modems. With the basic package ($40/month) you get 1 gig of upload and 10 gigs of download, if you go over they start charging you extra. ($40/gig of upload over and $10/gig for download). It's a big pain because you always have to watch the quota. 10gig download isn't so bad, but the upload one is especially hard to stay under, I know people that exceed it from just playing quake over the net on a regular basis. Before I got my cable modem the quota used to be 2 gigs of total data upload or download, I can't imagine that how frustrating that would be. You can of course, get the plus or pro package which allows you more quota (and ips, and domain hosting).
Having said that, the quotas are necessary to keep the service affordable and fast. Without quotas we'd all be uploading much more, slowing the network down and costing powersurfr more in data transfer forcing a price hike. Plus we get cooler hostnames than @home; there is a little web interface allowing you to pick an "IN A" for.powersurfr.com (ie.. cmdrtaco.powersurfr.com), which is much nicer than 24.65.13.23.ab.wave.home.com or cx170741-a.elcjn1.sdca.home.com. Quotas suck, but if used not too stringently they can allow for the provision of an overall higher level or service.
