These watches are NOT for astronauts and NOT for use in space. They are for the mission control people who want an analog wrist watch displaying Martian time.
If ISPs have a throughput cap demand on their ToS, as you say, then, don't you think they should make this data available to the user, i.e. put it on their web site for you to check with an account/password?
Or, else, how is the user going to know if he has exceeded his maximum permitted?
If the ISP doesn't provide you with a way of checking this information, then they have no right to complain if you do exceed the limit.
McDonald's/iTunes: No Deal To Announce, Company Says
Thursday November 6, 12:51 pm ET
DES MOINES, Iowa (Dow Jones)--McDonald's Corp. characterized a published report that it plans a massive digital song giveaway promotion as "pure speculation."
Responding to inquiries about a story in Thursday's New York Post that the fast-food giant will team up with Apple Computer Inc. to offer up to one billion free iTune downloads, McDonald's issued a statement saying, "There are no agreements to announce, so anything else is pure speculation."
iTunes is a digital jukebox software product from Apple that allows a person to download music online. Apple's retail price per song is 99 cents.
The Post story said McDonald's is close to announcing a deal with Apple in which the restaurant chain would buy as many as one billion songs, at 99 cents each, in a major promotion.
If true, that could mean McDonald's might shell out as much as $990 million, a staggering figure. Last year the company's advertising expenditures totaled $ 647.6 million.
McDonald's statement said it "continues to aggressively pursue bold new initiatives in the areas of music, sports, fashion and entertainment to connect with our customers in fresh and relevant ways...You can expect news from McDonald's on a variety of fronts in the coming weeks and months."

So this means that the best universities in America are in the United States?
Ah! You forget America is a continent and not a country.
Well, I guess it does sound ugly to call people from the United States, "Unitedstaters", but calling them "Americans" is worse.
Yes, they're Americans, because the United States is part of the continent called America, but so is Canada, Mexico, El Salvador, Venezuela, Argentina, etc. They are Americans too.
So when you call people from the United States, Americans, you aren't saying they're from the United States, you're only saying that they're from some country in the continent called America.
It's like calling people from France, Europeans. You're not saying they're from France, just from some country in Europe.
So how should we call people from the United States? In Spanish (the dominant language in America), they are called "estadounidenses", which is roughly the equivalent to "Unitedstaters".
Regardless of this, the best universities in America are probably still within the United States.
Ugh, mod parent down please. This is obviously a flamer.
OS X RARELY crashes. These crashes --kernel panics or system-wide freezes-- can indeed occur, but rarely do.
The system is incredibly resistant to abuse.
I've had only one kernel panic with the Jaguar version (faulty 3rd party installer) and 2 or 3 system-wide freezes since I installed it September last year.
[...]Most cable and even some DSL links have upload speed caps of 20 to 30 kpbs. Even an MP3 encoded at 128 kbps will have trouble getting through that pipe quickly enough.
That's wrong. An MP3 encoded at 128 kiloBITS/s will actually go through rather quickly on a 20-30 kiloBYTES/s pipe.
You probably didn't have the Mail application at the root level of the Applications folder (/Applications/Mail.app) before installing the update. Never move Apple installed applications from their original path!

You forgot perhaps the biggest problem with CRTs: headaches and eye strain.
Nice PR masking there...
Dude, chill.
The journalist hasn't reach any such conclusion; he is just speaking on Mr. Stallman's behalf.
I suggest you RTFA... again.
Mod parent up!!!
Well, data on CDs is recorded scrambled, for error checking purposes, so that's what they mean with 'encrypted'.
South Korea and Hong Kong lead in broadband adoption, while Japan and South Korea lead in broadband speed.
Let me break it down for you:
Broadband adoption (per capita)
...
1. South Korea: 21.3% (60-70% of households)
2. Hong Kong: 14.9%
3. Canada: 11.2%
10. Japan: 7.1% (and moving up)
11. United States: 6.9%
Broadband adoption (number of users)
1. United States: 19.9 million
N/A. South Korea: over 10 million
Broadband speed
1. Japan: entire movie in 20 minutes (520x faster than dial-up modem)
2. South Korea: entire movie in 26 minutes
Worldwide broadband subscribers (start of 2003)
63 million (mainly DSL/Cable)
Monthly subscription prices
Worldwide: between $30-50
United States: $53
Finland: as high as $165.89
More mobile phone users (1.16 billion) than fixed-line phones (1.13 billion)

It is expected that IE would be vulnerable, but it is actually not. So, yes, Alanis, it is quite ironic.

Is anyone even aware that you can only stream to 5 (FIVE) people at the same time?
Only if he has his computer on, connected to the Internet and Remote Login is turned on.
Only then, you can "voila"...
