To answer your question - If I were in ATT's shoes, initially I'd declare the 'top 5%' rule and throttle those users until enough of them defect off my network.
Once satisfied with how my customer base is behaving, I will continue to declare the 'top 5%' rule to deter my little darlings from acting naughty.
"...Joswiak said it was traced to a particular Windows machine in the manufacturing lines of a contract manufacturer that builds the iPods for Apple..."
Why on Earth would there be a Windows machine anywhere near the ipod assembly line? (and no - it shouldnt have anything to do with the fact that ipods are PC compatible now)
Ever use the self checkout at supermarkets? Try slapping $0.99 barcodes on packages of chopped meat and chicken breast and have yourself a 5 dollar BBQ!!!
...some of you may like this program for windows. the themes are all flash based and it is basically an alternative to the windows login screen. it works for win2k too!
you cheer the ad companies because those that are smart would use mozilla or any other competing browser to help fight against microsoft and block ads in the meantime. as for the lawsuit, i think it'd be funny if microsoft lost.
meant to say that broadband acceptance wouldve skyrocketed...also, Tv entertainment with thousands of channels! Would u rather download the latest 50cent album at blistering speeds or be able to view any and every nfl game on sunday?
i highly doubt that the extreme rural areas of the united states would have broadband available. If it is available, it would most likely be at a high cost. As for the urban areas? sure broadband has its reasonable costs, but at the same time, the cost of living in many major cities (for example NYC BABAY!!!) has skyrocketed (1500 bucks a month for a small studio apt???!?!) at a time when broadband shouldve done the same. As a result, more and more americans are stuck with paying other more important bills...like electricity (at least when there is electricity;) ). This is all due to the U.S.' sheer size. As a side note also, i'd say the bulk of breadwinners in the U.S. don't need broadband internet at home because theyre too tied up with setting up their tivo to record alex ross paintings.

if ur gonna make a point, stick to it. don't concede to microsoft that toilets arent necessary in a "futuristic model" just because its a "model".
i'm sure there are plenty of tech toys to add to the restroom...has anyone ever seen the home improvement "man's bathroom"? it'd be nice if they built upon that and included it because, hey...we need restrooms!!! if not, please direct me to the M$ powered outhouse...lets hope the toilet doesnt...crash;)

if you went to school, you would realize that physicists, biogeneticists (is that a word?), and cloners ARE mathmaticians on one level or another...so be afraid...be very afraid!!!
i read through the comments and came up with this on one of the previous comments...looks like ogg/vorbis acutally can be supported on non-floating point processors - http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/hardware.html
and it also says frontierlabs possibly will implement that into their mp3 players...which i own:)

Whole point of the test at it's most basic essence is to see if the person can spell without any help. Notepad.exe it is.
Forgot to add to the last sentence:
'...to deter my little darlings from acting naughty while not really throttling anyone.

... I wonder, if a robot program like this were let loose on the internet, and was capable of learning... what would it learn?
