If paying $80 a month will allow me to legitimately use my full bandwidth (including the ability to run servers, continuously uploading at least 384 kb/s),
Oh yeah, $80 a month should definitely entitle you to 1/4th of a T1 constant speed at less than 1/10th of the price. After all, you are fucking special. Get a clue and realize that bandwidth doesn't just magically appear, your ISP has to pay for it just like you do.
You aren't getting it. A T3 is 45 Mbits. You say 2000 to 5000 people on that T3. Well assuming 512kbit dsl, 90 people could tie the whole thing up in theory. So lets say more realistically, the abusers use on average half their bandwidth during peak times, that's still 180 people out of 2-5000 that have messed it up for everyone else.
I don't know what your definition of "studio display" is, but where I come from (digital prepress), a good monitor with true color and on the fly calibration is a minimum of $2500.
Better yet... No one would ever have to get out of bed anymore.
Follow me here, it's not a large jump.
Basically, we have robotic proxies. Our fragile human bodies stay in a safe place at all times, and we just live our life by remotely controlling our robotic proxies to do the things we would have done.
In fact, who needs a body, we could just be a brain in a perfect life support environment, safe from death, immortal.
MOSIX and other clustering isn't "out of the box" because it would add unnecessary bloat, and administrative problems for a feature maybe 1% of people or less would use. You are probably used to this inefficiency as a user of Windows or MacOS.
Should Macs all come with photoshop available "out of the box"? It's ludricrous to say that every piece of software you will need should be preconfigured and preinstalled.
We already pretty much have this on Linux. It's called MOSIX. Once each linux workstation has the MOSIX kernel installed, they can join the cluster, use shared processing and donate processing. It's as transparent as SMP.
I noticed that TrustE seems kind of spam friendly. I mean they don't require sites to have any sort of standards, they just require that they have the policies in place, and that they use them. What the policies actually are, is up to the company.
TrustE is just a shill, a fraud like the BBB, a company that makes money by getting businesses to join, and defrauding the public into thinking they have any real oversight power at all.
You're a loose cannon man. You are going to lose it young if you keep loosing such scathing attacks against the Slashdot population. Maybe I am just a loser, but playing fast and loose with the already loose moderation guidelines seems to be the loser thing to do.
It costs, what, maybe $30000 a year for them to run these fake sites? Less? I know I could do something like them in my spare time, I doubt they hired anyone specifically for this, so lets say it costs them $5000 a year, still a high estimate.
If just a few people are LARTed by these sites, I think it's worth it.
I'm a Libertarian, so I am against all the things the Gov does to try to "protect us from ourselves" too, but this is a cheap and clever way to educate people, and it probably costs less than the production of a single PSA for TV.
They named a mall after Lenox where you live? I guess Lenox is really going mainstream.
I wonder how long before we start to see widespread adoption of Lenox on the desktop.
Slashdot Mirror
...There was a football game this weekend?
I guess this is the last one? Does this mean they will stop wasting time by showing football on TV now?

And more average prices for more rural areas are $1200/month for T1(1.54mbit), $7000/mo T3 (45mbit).
You can sort of judge by the surface mount components, assuming they are the same size as the ones they use on current chips.
I get UPN on satellite with no waivers or anything. You might want to call and check again.
How many have you ever made available for people to download from you?
I think that answers your question.
OK... hehe. Makes more sense now.

You don't have to cut the handset off, and it isn't illegal either.
Havn't you kids every heard of an acoustic coupler? You are correct though, maximum speed with a coupler is 9600 or 14.4 if you are lucky.

Scary, eh?

What was so painful about it?
What's up with zdnet using their .com.com domain? Are they just showing off that they have it?

Hummer would be pretty devastating
It sure was for Clinton's career.
