If your situation is as you say, then your g/f does not practice what she says she believes and is not what she says she is.
That is to say you cannot claim to be of a faith (any faith or non-faith) and yet live in open and willfull contradiction to the tennants of that faith.
For example, a vegetarian cannot claim to be one and yet eat any type of meat any time she/he wants. If they do, then they don't really fall under that belief system.
That is not to say that to be of a faith you have to follow all the "rules/regulations/ideas" of that faith, unless the belief of that faith is that anything less than 100% compliance is unacceptable. You just cannot continually and willfully disregard selected principles of that faith and only keep the ones you want. If that person does so, then they fall under their own catagory or branch of that faith.
For example a pacifist cannot believe it is ok to kill someone in special circumstances. They either believe the precept or not.
Bringing it back to your example; A Christian does not have to keep all the precepts of that faith to be called one. Far from it, because no one can. They must only continually strive to do so, and not live in open contradiction to those ideas.

Add to that argument the OS X UNIX layer. This exposes the programming environment the students would need. OS X can obtain the ported source for most OSS projects and compile to run on that OS. Kate, apache, etc.

Sure you would loose "friends" in the way that friend is defined as an acquaintance with whom you occasionally do stuff.
If friend is defined as someon you share all your life, someone that knows you, your concerns, your furture plans, etc . . . then you won't loose them. They would want to help you.
Those "friends" that are too good to associate with someone that would have a problem (alcohol, drugs, internet) are not friends at all.
That isn't even close to the reason to run this software. It is not designed to proove something to anyone. It is to allow someone else the means to help out their friend.

"My wife's cousins tithe 10% of their income to their church (and they make less than 40k combined) because their church makes everyone do it. the peer pressure there is if you are not 'holy' enough to give your tithe.. your not worthey of God.. WTF is that ??"
Well then that church has much bigger doctrine problems than just peer pressure (the term itself is missused in this article).
When a professing christian church pressures people to do anything that they say you need to do in order to become holy enough for God, then they don't believe in God by that very statement. Tell them to read about the thing called "GRACE".
Honestly, that just pisses me off when professing churches warp things to fit their financial needs. People logically come away thinking the members of that sect are stupid for believing that. And they are! Contrary statements like that just stand out as false. -end rant-

Interesteing reference in Section 4 of the legislation:
SECTION 4:
Today, when a consumer purchases a book, they are free to lend their copy to a friend, or to sell their copy to a used books store. Section 4 allows consumers to do the same thing with digital content by extending the first sale doctrine - codified in section 109 of Title 17 - to digital transmissions. At the same time, it protects copyright holders by restricting such transmissions to a single recipient and requiring consumers to transmit their copies with copy-control restrictions in place. Consumers also have to get rid of their copy after they transmit the work to someone else. (underline added by me)
This is good, legal, and just. If only people would do that. Sure it is a pain to delete your copy when you lend it out, or to remember who has it and if they "gave it back" (by deleting their copy or by sending/ftping it back to you).
The real important part of this law is the extension of the fair use to digital works, even if it shouldn't be obviously there by default. Having something expressly writting rather than implied is necessary.

Well, if by mainstream you mean people that aren't doing academic research, or students at www2 connected universities . . . then yes. But that is a crap load of people connected through that connection.
Greanted when I was on my University's www2 connection and getting sweet low pings (90ms) to other students on their university www2 connection I wasn't academic use . . . but it was cool!
Are you advertising a set bandwidth (data per sec), or are you advertising a total data (5GB). If you have connections that allow 128kbps there should be no problem if that connection is MAXED out al lthe time.
Otherwise advertise a 2GB transfer / month system with no bandwidth cap. THat 2GB can be in a day, or not even all used.
You solution is to market a combination: 1) Bandwidth up to 128kbps for 1 month until 2) 2GB of total data for the month. Then notify the customer when nearing the total data usage number based on a moving average extrapolated to the end of the month.
If you can't economically let a user use their full bandwidth all the time, then create different contracts.

Read it and decide for yourself. If it looks like a tangled mess of contrary statements, then don't believe it.

Correct. If you don't want to stop alcoholism, then you don't go to an AA meeting. If you don't want to stop doing cokee, you don't go to rehab.
