Three Clarifies What "All You Can Eat" Actually Means All you can eat data allows you to use as much as the Internet or consumer as much data as you wish without worrying about the cost or having to search for hidden and unfair “fair use policies”.
If your smartphone plan includes all you can eat data, then this is for data consumption actually on your smartphone. It does not include using your smartphone as a modem to connect other devices such as laptops and tablets – also known as “Tethering”. Tethering is included in (i) The One Plan; (ii) the One Plan SIM only; or (iii) By purchasing an Ultimate Internet Plan with the Tethering Add on. The add-on can be purchased via My3 on your handset and is also available to customers on our Talk and Text plans.
Three don't actually know if you're tethering! Actually, they don't care! You've paid for it, if you know your way around a computer, you're golden with their £20/mo unlimited plan. The above options are for those who really don't know any better. No offence to any here who are on Three and already on one of these "extra" plans.
Are you an existing customer on any of our pay monthly plans (except our Essential Internet 200 plan)? You can get All You Can Eat Data for the remainder of your contract at an additional cost of £3 per month.
Does all you can eat data come with any limits? The limit is how much your device can consume – if you were to actively use data or the Internet on your phone every second, of every day, in every month (and we would be worried if you were !!!!) you would, subject to the current traffic management requirements (which vary from time to time), use up to 1000GB per month. So in essence there is a limit of how much data you can actually consume which is up to 1000GB. All this means that you can have absolute peace of mind and enjoy all the internet you need on your smartphone, without worrying.
What shaping? In my experience, Three have never throttled my connection. I have had 4-week periods where I've downloaded a solid 2TB on a dedicated system and filled a RAID.
I laugh at the Sky ads that boast 100MBit or whatever, then the small print: 25GB/mo cap. BT when they rolled out their XDSL had an even stranger one: 1GB/mo cap!
So you get fantastic speed. For an hour. Then you're throttled to 64kbps for the rest of the month.
Three UK still have an unlimited data plan. £20 a month, and I quote the operator I spoke to some years ago: "You paid for it - suck down as much as you like, you'll never be throttled."
I have a reference library. That doesn't leave the house. It also changes very little. I have four sets of encyclopedias, one of which is 46 years old (and doesn't get handled with bare hands). The only one I keep more or less up to date is my five shelf-feet of Oxford Blue. I have a library of fiction, I don't lend those but what I DO do is give them. If a visitor sees a book they like the look of, my philosophy is simple: take it, read it, pass it on. A few people make a good guess as to the type of fiction I like and bring me new reading that I'll often kill over one or two days then on the shelf it goes. The average stay for a fiction on my shelf is six months.
70ns for a signal to propagate over 10m of twisted pair copper. Start there.
I have Gigabit connection over my LAN and I still get...lemme test... 1ms to the router, 2ms to a random other machine. Over WAN, 109ms to Slashdot, 16ms to the BBC. World of Tanks EU server goes between 40-130ms, depending on how busy it is and whether my son is video skyping....

I didn't say that. I said the Constitution enshrines the right of the people to revolt against oppression (bad Government). No oppressive Government is legitimate. That is why we have Clause 61 and the Second Amendment.
I haven't seen these on the JPL Public Image Archive, they seem to be very selective about what goes up there. What I would like is list access to the images like I have with the PIA so I can add them to my video wall slideshow.
the Second Amendment to the Constitution was designed to reflect Clause 61 Magna Carta: the right of the Citizen to remove bad Government by LAWFUL means. The only difference being that the Constitution allows for the substitution of the pen, with arms. I think it's a great idea. It's a great fucking timesaver and should be used as designed rather than as an excuse to be waving around Glocks.
crime is binary. Either you break the law with a specific action or you do not. There is no "sort-of" or other grey area here. You're talking like you can be a little bit pregnant. You are, or you're not.
I'll start with a basic thought experiment in which I invite the reader to begin with some assumptions:
1. That conversion of energy from one type to another suffers a 50% loss in efficiency. 2. That charging an EV involves plugging in to the line supply.
That's those, now the numbers bit.
start with 100 units of energy contained in coal as your primary chemical potential. Generate some electricity with it. OK, this is lots of burning and turbine spinning and stuff, but with the assumption you're left with 50 units of electricity. Send that out over the transmission lines, step it down in the local substation to domestic voltage, you're down to 25 units (substations generate a LOT of heat and quite a few of them buzz). Now you're at the power socket, send those 25 units into the vehicles battery. You're down to 12.5 units of chemical potential stored in the battery. And not the final step, turning that chemical potential into DC for the motor: you're down to 6.25 units. And the motor driving the wheels that meet the road, you're getting use out of 3.125 units (losses due to friction, &c.). 96.875% of the energy stored in that coal at the power plant is WASTED.
Sure, EV motors might be 50% efficient but only if you IGNORE what happens between mining the coal and storing chemical potential in the batteries.
Battery powered vehicles are a tertiary method. A 25% efficient petrol engine (a primary traction engine) is demonstrably more efficient than an EV. I just did that.
I will neither confirm nor deny whether that is the one, as I do not wish to attract attention to its leechiness. And yes, "sucker" is a term you could have applied to me that day except my sons wanted to go see, so we did. Thirty six fucking quid down the drain.

Examples and notes: 1. sideloaders such as the Ask Toolbar and other Browser Helper Objects (Bonzi Buddy and Gator spring to mind) which are bundled with software that you actually ask for, such as when you download installers from SOURCEFORGE and CNET. 2. Such as when Microsoft disabled SSL3 by default in the February 2015 IE11 Security Rollup rather than fix the SSL3 vulnerability. 3. Such as when software opens a port through the firewall and leaves it open (sorry no examples spring immediately to mind but I have known this to happen). 4. See #1. 5. Microsoft's "security" updates that are actually CEIP and other telemetry daemons. 6. Full-on antivirus packages that absolutely HAVE to scan EACH and EVERY file, library, script, document and bitmap on opening! Not sure if the ones that HAVE to run a full scan in the background when the system starts up is worse but that can be demonstrated to increase waiting time for a usable desktop from a couple minutes to several HOURS.

yep, I used the shell "Ping" command (Win7HP). I have no clue as to the inner mechanics.

History is fuck all to do with the discussion. Current spellings are. Wind your neck in.
I didn't say that. I said the Constitution enshrines the right of the people to revolt against oppression (bad Government). No oppressive Government is legitimate. That is why we have Clause 61 and the Second Amendment.

why don't you post them, if you're that certain they exist you must surely have a copy already?
Actually, both are correct. "Learnt" is the outside-the-US variant spelling (ie, the Oxford spelling). "Learned" is the American (Webster) spelling.
Citation, you don't have to take the word of an English teacher and the son of an English teacher.
fuck off

it means all your victims will be unarmed.
I'd like to know where "derivative works" meets "cold replica"?
I think I'll get back to work on my read-only browser sandbox. It seems to be the only way to be sure these days.

I don't know about theoretical, wasn't someone making biodiesel on an algae farm a while ago? Wonder what happened to that?
you're only out by a factor of 10. According to Bitesize, atmospheric CO2 runs about .04%. There's 24 times more argon in the atmosphere.

1. That conversion of energy from one type to another suffers a 50% loss in efficiency.
