    Iirc all servers can log, just not log and play back on connect that I know of. However since IRC is an open protocol there is nothing stopping someone from making a server that does just that and if you look around you may even find plugins for current servers that add those enhancements.

    Efnet is full of scum now, dalnet has been dead to everyone but sex fiends for 15 years, Freenode has become "free support network" for various companies. XDCC is on its last leg as it has been for 20 years. Private IRC servers is where the fun is at..

    I fail to see why suicides are problems. A person should be free to off their self if they so feel the need. Plus more oxygen for the rest of us that actually have brains we need to feed.

    Well good luck with that. Once again, I prefer Real Life to the land of Make Believe. Advertisers are some of the worst people around, I don't expect very much more from them.

    I'm not making things up as I go. Its right in the contract they signed, I'm just stating that fact. Its not like this is something new that just happened to them for the first time, this has been a thing for years. If you read my other replies you might understand it more? I don't know what would help you grasp this, you normally seem to have your bearings about shit like this. I don't have the time right now to break it down as to what I'm explaining, however if you read most of the comments on this you should have a pretty good understanding by now. And it has nothing to do with Net Neutrality.

    Except those of us who live in reality and read the binding agreements in the contracts we sign, that say after in my case 23GB(sprint) I get kicked down to 3G speeds when on overloaded towers. It would be nice to not have that an issue, cause i would use my phone for home internet because the speed increase would be enough to offset my issue with the latency spikes. But if that was the case I'm sure I wouldn't be the only person to do so, which would PROBABLY make all cell phone use unusable and bring back dropped calls. There is a reason these limits are implemented the way they are. There is one way to fix that, put a cell tower in everybodys back yard. Yea I'm sure that will go over well with everybody. Plus the amount of electricity they use. As I previously said. If you understood how the internet works...

    Unlimited Bandwidth does not exist, and if you understood how the internet works you would know this. Unlimited refers to the Data, not the speed. They were still able to use the data, just at slower speeds, therefor the Unlimited Data still stands. I have personally never seen an Unlimited Bandwidth plan advertised ever.

  13. Happens all over the west coast at least, I don't know much about the rest of the nations prison system. The worst part is when there isnt a fire, the NDF crews(Nevada Dept. Forestry) fire crews make $1.25/day to go and pour sidewalks and clearcut power right of ways, and all other misc. projects the small towns around the prison camps need done. The real fucked up part is because they essentially use slave labor, they undercut OTHER local companies that have employees that are trying to survive without doing crime, but cant because the nevada and california prison systems are taking their work and paying the workers $1.25/day.

    Software and Devices have to be certified to work in "Emergency Situations" and they need to GUARANTEE they work, So if they didn't know it was bloated crapware, it had no place in an emergency situation because it obviously hadn't been vetted. Also how reliable can cell phone service be in the woods where these wild fires take place? Shouldn't they be using SAT devices? What happens when the cell tower burns down in the middle of the fire and they get 0bps instead of 256kpbs.

    what am I making up? Internet Backbone fiber connections can reach and I believe exceed 100gbit. That should be the definition of unlimited by your theory.

    That's exactly the point he is saying. The speed is not unlimited. nor can it be because, well its not possible to have an Infinity TBit connection.

The kids loved it for 6 months, they havent touched it much yet. the youngest(5) occasionally still uses it, nobody else. I told him that would happen, But he wanted to be a cool dad :) IMO Its too expensive considering you need the Vive, a good GPU, a decent PSU(to run the GPU at full tilt) and a decent CPU.

    You realize lower core voltage and adequate cooling(no hot cold cycles) your hardware lasts 10x as long right? Learn something before you spout your bullshit. Also "Full tilt" you realize when it is bashing it is literally using a tiny fraction of the circuitry on the silicon right? This is the problem with slashdot. People who have no fucking clue how shit works wants to chime in and tell someone they're wrong about something. Moron.
