Except it's not irreplaceable. It requires a screwdriver to replace. Pop the casing off, unplug old battery, plug in replacement, put case back on. Wipe hands on pants.
Great! Where do we buy the replacement battery? Can I get it at any local stores? Mail order? Walmart? Circuit City? Radio Shack? If I cant get a replacement it is irreplaceable.
Because a sensible person would consider the possibility that it does not mean what they hope that it means. "Unlimited access" did you think that meant access to my email? No that would be silly but your common sense escapes you when it comes to bandwidth.
BTW... you can have "unlimited access" to my email... it's all spam anyways. =D
Nice, If I had but one life to give for my country, it would be a lawyer's.
Did they say "Unlimited Bandwidth" or did you add the word 'Bandwidth' for them? It is reasonable for them to assume that there words will be taken in a reasonable manner. Would you assume 'unlimited internet access' means I have unlimited access to whitehouse.gov and could change it to fit my needs? No, because that would be unreasonable. "But gee they said unlimited access!" boo hoo. That's nice. But let's not take "Unlimited" to mean something unreasonable.
You ever stop to think that unlimited could mean we don't restrict the time of day you connect? Maybe unlimited means we don't limit your access to certain areas of the net? You make the assumption that unlimited applies to your connection time or to your bandwidth usage. The truth is you know better SillySlashdotName I'v read your posts. You're not dumb. You know the actual cost involved in bandwidth (that's why you got DSL and not a fractional circuit or a LATA circuit with separate contract for bandwidth. You are hoping to get something for free. You try to interpret the advertisements in a way that benefits you the most not in a way that makes the most sense.
You ever hear of buyer beware? You didn't read the AUP did you?

I don't think a lot of you get it. Remember when you had to pay an hourly rate for access? It will go back to that model if that is what it takes to make a profit. The fact is that 1% of users abuse the "unlimited" model. Most users average around 30hrs a month and are almost "email only" users. So that means I can tell the shithead who is maxing out my circuit with a BT download or kaaza to shove off and I become more profitable. What's he going to do? Complain on Slashdot in an article that will only serve to keep away the customers I can't afford to have? Fuck 'em. We could argue all day about what you think "unlimited" should mean but all that matters is how the term "unlimited" is defined in your TOS. And if you read your TOS you 'prolly know that it is a document that can be changed at any time and it is up to you to keep informed of its contents (but you clicked passed that didn't you). You have to be crazy if you think I am going to let you turn a residential DSL into a dedicated fractional t1. Did you see the price of fractional circuits and the price of DSL and think there was no difference? And Dial up... how much do you pay for a phone line? You think for $9.95 a month I am going to let you tie up one of my lines 24/7!? Once again %1 abuse it... if you are one of those people that thinks an "unlimited" dial up means dedicated copper to your house, you are in a minority and kicking your ass offline will have a positive effect on the rest of my users and my bottom line.

diffie hellman? i think you will need to exchange a key at some point even with ssl. you still have the problem with a man in the middle attack. but if you control both ends and are just trying to stop people from listening in you don't need a cert. or a third party. Just a thought.:)
Oh, so you're doing it for my own good? So every time some one writes a buggy app we just block a port so that we can avoid it? That does not sound like an in depth or very forward thinking strategy. It sounds like we are cutting our self off from the world one port at a time.
haha.. See you think it is a network problem when it is not. if your car bursts into flames every time you make a right hand turn it is not a problem with the roads having right hand turns. Get a clue it's the car.
Yes I do. I just thought that maybe in my ranting I had been less than clear on my point.
BTW: According to my mother money is the root of all-evil and according to my father women are the root of all evil. My mother now has all my dads' money so he might have been on to something.
haha, yes and people are the cause for exploding gas tanks on Ford Pintos but that does not mean that the way to stop it is to kill the people or blame the gas. It does not mean that you make moving roads so that they do not have to use gas and therefore do not have a risk of exploding. The solution is to fix the car.
Yes and it is worth the jump backwards in technology to help OS manufacturers continue to pedal sub par product and services that are the real cause of the problem. Attacking a problem at somewhere other than its source has always been such a great way to deal with challenges like this.
Especially funny for nonviolent offenders and white collar criminals. And down right hilarious for wrongly accused little weak people who cannot defend themselves.
Thinking of you sick to your stomach about how unpalatable prison life can be is also funny. Any other questions?
This could be fun. Write a program to generate garbage mp3 files with tags for legit songs attached and then flood p2p networks with them too screw up there accounting data. Then..um

How to be a Programmer

haha nice troll.:)
I have yet to meet someone that could not be taught to program. And if they are teachable they can become skilled if they are motivated. Sorry to have to be the one to tell you this, but your skills aren't 1337. I could teach anyone with algebra skills to program.

I would call it "AssHat" and make it look like Windows but covered in tinfoil.
This ruins everything! I have been seeding the Internet for the last few months with copyrighted material as part of my three step plan to profit.
If this doesn't pass my plans are going to be reduced to a bad joke!
If they don't tell us then how will we know when it is time to start looting, raping, and pillaging!
