Shaw on the west coast does this as well. They do have varying rates from 10GB/month - 150GB/month for home users. Some of their prices are pretty scary though.
Lite: $20/mnth 256Kb dn 128Kb up - 10GB total per month
High Speed: $30/mnth 5Mb dn 512Kb up - 60GB per month
Xtreme: $42/mnth 10Mb dn 1Mb up - 100GB per month
Nitro: $93/mnth 25Mb dn 1Mb up - 150GB per month
I can't imagine why anyone would pay $50 more for the Nitro package. I easily hit the 100GB limit with Xtreme. 2.5X faster with Nitro, it would be very easy to hit 150GB per month. For the price, that should be waaaaaay higher. 500 Maybe. But they don't even give you an option to pay for going over the total per month.
No kidding. If it was really about open land and cheap power there would be up here. Surrounded by empty land and hydro electric power. With the added bonus of being much cooler especially in winter.
On the one hand we have home users behind Linksys firewall/routers. On the other hand we have business users who have better primary firewall hardware (at the cheaper end at least a Linux iptables box) but who have some of the stuff from Linksys and its competitors sitting behind that running wireless in their offices.
And then there's us poor schmuck's who bought something like this, and just want to be able to run whatever code we want on it. These folks have done a lot of hacking on the Archos devices, but sadly the current exploits don't seem to work on my AV700.
Hopefully this will make it easier for me to do what I want with the hardware I paid good money for.
We must be convinced that they actually understand what they are asking for and genuinely want it for themselves. Once a few chimps do this, then all chimps should get rights.
What if they've been saying this for years and years, but we're too stupid to understand?
The mentally retarded have to be taken care of, and cannot be expected to behave responsibly, and therefore have to be protected in varying degrees
So does my dog. If she gets loose and harms somebody (very unlikely she's 15 lbs, and scared of squirrels) then that's my fault not hers. But that doesn't mean she shouldn't have the right to not be mistreated. She has all of the emotions that we do, and I think she deserves rights based on that alone. Same with the monkeys.
I tend to think of Sun, HP, and IBM *nix line as being the Jags/Mercedes, while the Apple is more akin to Toyota and Honda. Basically, they are slightly more expensive than the GM/Ford type cars, but offer so much more.
Fine. As long as we all agree that Windows is the Pinto.
They do this in areas that are completely unrelated to Katrina as well.. This road now exists, and doesn't in fact go through those buildings or those fields. That construction project in that area took almost 2 years to complete and Google shows it as it was before it began. I doubt it's a conspiracy, but probably due to being a cloudy day during the last pass of the satellite.
the Conservatives in Canada don't bring up "terrorism & child pornography" nearly as often as the US Republicans.... [Harper] isn't as radical, or can't afford to be.
Are you kidding? This is the same shit in a different pile.
It's definately better than using PCs. Blue Gene/L, which is supposed to be very efficient
I wonder why there isn't a World Community Grid client for PS3 yet? It's IBM's project and IBM makes the processor for the PS3 don't they? I would think they would be using these numbers to sell more Cell's. Maybe that's what we need to get Team Slashdot back on top.:)
WCG has some very good work that needs done as well.
I use an ATI radeon 9000 64 Mb with the opensource drivers and it runs the eyecandy fine.
I'm using a Radeon 9250 with open source drivers as well which runs beryl just fine. The only problem is I have to unplug my second monitor to do it. Apparently there is a limitation with the driver that it can't handle textures bigger than 2048x2048, and Beryl needs to put one big texture in videoram that spans the entire desktop or something like that. For whatever reason though if I try to run Beryl with multiple monitors it breaks very badly.
I doubt that it would work. As far as ATI is concerned, the market for people who are (A) building their computer from components, _and_ (B) run Linux on it, _and_ (C) didn't buy a cheap 9200 or 5200, is very very very small. Especially look at that last part. Keeping even 1000 people satisfied when they bought the cheapest chip and made you barely a couple of bucks each, hardly justifies the salaries of a driver team.
Except, it is those 1000 people (I imagine this figure is a very low estimation) who the others ask for advice on what to buy.
Even if it is, I'm sure you can agree that it's far more than the 3,000 or so that died on 9/11. As far as terrorist acts go, the U.S. government is the perpetrator of one of the largest ones in recorded history.
As for Darl, I would offer him a deal to walk free if he could produce enough evidence for the government to go after Microsoft's top execs.
Fuck that. Microsoft is above the law, it just doesn't apply to them. Darl needs to pay for his lies. Blake Stowell too, he shouldn't get off scott free just because he jumped ship before it sunk.
how well d'ya think a 600MB warezed DivX would distribute?
Very well. The last one took about 4 minutes to finish downloading. Plus I didn't have to distribute any chunks to peers, so I haven't broken any laws to do it.
If I were to run a public ftp, and let people upload all sorts of copyrighted crap, I'm liable - wether I knew they uploaded it or not. Theres plenty of precedence there, people have been burned for "pubs" on their hardware, that they had no knowledge of.
And how is it that usenet has survived all these years? Some time ago it stopped being a place for geeks to chat, and got jam packed full of kiddie porn, pirated video, and warez.
My ISP has a usenet server, my University (funded by public tax dollars) has a usenet server, etc, etc. Not one lawsuit that I've ever heard of.
I saw this commercial that said "Over 60% of Americans are now in debt".
I've got a better one. I listen to talk radio during the day, and one morning they spent two hours discussing some survey that came out which reported that 38% of people say they get less sleep than they did 5 years ago. People were outraged at how our society is being destroyed. Not one person called in to point out that same figure indicates that 62% of people get as much or more sleep than they did 5 years ago.
all you have to do is apt-get source and patch the source code. apt-get source also fetches the Debian patches, which contain the debian/ directory containing the debian package build scripts. Then do dpkg-buildpackage and poof! new debs
That is still more difficult to do that each time a new version is released than simply renaming an ebuild which is what I do now. In gentoo I can also compile a package from SVN or CVS very easily. I can install a package from SVN as it was at any given date by renaming the ebuild. I do this with a couple of projects that I submit packages for or otherwise follow the development of. It's extremely handy, especially when researching bug reports, and much more difficult to do with deb or rpm. One of my least favourite things to do was track down old versions of debs to confirm bug reports, and then try to get them to work.
As for "packages that have not yet been packaged for Debian", that is exactly where Portage won me over, and probably why there are very very few packages that have not yet been packaged for Gentoo.
although compiling for core2 does give a performance boost in some code compared to i686
i686 would be nice. Compare it to i386 though, which strangely enough is what most x86 distro's are still compiled for these days. Does anyone still have a working 386?
Slashdot Mirror
The do that here in Winnipeg too. The prices are:
- Lite: $20/mnth 256Kb dn 128Kb up - 10GB total per month
- High Speed: $30/mnth 5Mb dn 512Kb up - 60GB per month

Oh well. Maybe next year.

I really hope Sun takes advantage of the work Nexenta has done. It's Ubuntu on OpenSolaris. Hopefully Ian will do something very similar with Solaris.
There you go. If you have no real response, go for the personal attack.
Even if it is, I'm sure you can agree that it's far more than the 3,000 or so that died on 9/11. As far as terrorist acts go, the U.S. government is the perpetrator of one of the largest ones in recorded history.

Why, so the first generation of Martians will have to suffer through long, extremely boring movies?

98% of all statistics are bullshit.
Nope. I think you meant to say: Had a local root exploit.
When was the last time a remote root exploit was found in the Linux kernel?
That is still more difficult to do that each time a new version is released than simply renaming an ebuild which is what I do now. In gentoo I can also compile a package from SVN or CVS very easily.
