A lot of broadband customers in the UK are uni students in shared accommodation. I live in a house with 6 people - we have Telewest's 1Mbit service.
Between the 4 of us that regularly use the connection we average over 50Gig/week, which is around 2Gig/day. Obviously it varies, but the point is that the 1Gig/day limit that NTL has imposed applies to everyone, regardless of the number of computers sharing the connection.
Now I don't know about NTL's policy, but certainly Telewest specifically allow multiple users to share the same connection.
What the RIAA think about Gobbles telling everyone about this.
I mean normally they want everyone to know about their "anti-piracy" efforts - but when they're this dubious legally, do they really want it out in the open?
I can just see a whole bunch of Americans putting on very bad British accents being cast into the leading roles. Very, very bad prospect. The best interpretation of the characters I've seen was in the Illustrated HHGTTG.
As for the movie being a new thing, Douglas Adams was working on it on and off for quite a few years before his death - it just never got anywhere.
...when they successfully eliminate all piracy and their mass-maunfactured pop-trash still isn't selling?
Who are they going to blame then? Are they going to start claiming that people are just listening to tracks on the radio and not buying anything - I can see it now: "RIAA seeks legislation to outlaw radio transmissions".
You can make Netscape your default browser - just tick the 'Check to see if my brower is deafult' box and then click yes when it asks to make it default.
"Wow! The best of its kind I have seen!" This is an incredibly well made piece of software. It completely outperforms CDEX and the SpyWare is only enabled if you request it, and in return, you get 100+ free songs. This completely rocks. Don't use anything but this!
Now if the rest of the world follows suit, we might have a reasonable chance of greatly reducing the amount of crap that gets shoved through our inboxes every day.
So AMD won't sell many processors to the AOL crowd.
Marketing hype only works if people don't know any better, which more and more people do these days.
Right now, AMD may not be selling as many units as Intel but they have a far superior product. Sooner or later the marketing ploy is going to run out for Intel (Men painted blue doing stupid things - wtf are they thinking?!).

But look at it this way.

Jesus Christ you're a fuckwit.
Let me guess, your response to the situation in Iraq would be "nuke 'em".

Who to blame when there's no one left to take it.

Voila - no more IE opening stuff for you.
How much will it cost to replace the batteries once they're dead?

That's as maybe, but the penalties are high enough in this case that they might actually have an effect.
The best way to hurt a company is financially.

There are so many studies into the effects of video games on people - and none of them ever seem to come to the same conclusions:
Video games increase intelligence/Video games fry your brain.
Video games cause violence/Video games provide an outlet for violent urges.
Eventually, people are going to stop throwing money away doing these, clearly fruitless, studies.
A lot of the problems are caused because people expect technology (computers, VCR's etc) to do everything for them.
Would someone get into a car and expect to be able to drive properly without any kind of training or direction?
Of course not, but it's how people see technology - that it should do everything for them without the user having to put any effort in.

More importantly, if it were truley tapping zero point energy, why would it need the batteries in the first place?
I can't tell you the question if you already know the answer - the two cannot exist mutually in the same universe.
