Why not use Yahoo Hosting which has unlimited data and transfer? Couple that with On2's Flix encoder for making VP6 videos (makes Youtube look like a B&W TV with rabbit ears vs HDTV with a true 1080p source)
there's also a few other choices in terms of hosting that has unlimited data storage and unlimited bandwidth for a reasonable price per month...just use our good friend...google.
I never had an outage...on DSL....in my 5 yrs of using sonic, it has never gone down. The only time I was not online was when PG&E failed and my computers didn't have power. (my dsl modem continued to have an active connection until my UPS drained).
but yea, I wish Sonic would expand their fiber service to the rest of the bay. They are like the only real competition to comcrast and at&t.
If I was in Santa Rosa, Sonic's home-turf, I could get fiber for 130 a month (with even faster speeds, up and down).
plus, the tech support with Sonic is actually fairly pleasant. If I ask them what my signal-to-noise ratio is on my dsl line, they don't scratch their heads and fling poo....they actually know what is going on.
It's not PAX's fault that E for All is failing. Just think of just the name "E for All"...it sounds so.....cheesy (for lack of a better term). (plus there's that dreaded drug reference in the name....not so good for the public image).
anyways...the last good "E"-anything conference (formerly "E3") was the one in 2005 before they started instituting just stupid rules for a conference; they banned booth babes.
Then in 2006, attendance numbers were less than previous years and they announced that the 2007 E3 would be "downsized". (nail in coffin)
They tried to salvage it by spinning off the "non-invite only" conference as "E for All" but the damage was done. By then PAX was gaining lots of steam....plus the price was right. It had a bigger attendance numbers and wider range for its attendance demographics.
At least in my mind....it comes to life and laughs..."heee HAW! heee HAW!" (or maybe it's more like "HA HA" like Nelson from the Simpsons)
but yea, there are plenty of ways around the "block" VLC is one to play WMV/ASF streams and it's not limited to on Linux either. I use it on my XP and Vista boxes. It's less bloated.
As for website codes (not limited to this website) that blocks certain useragent codes, you can use Opera which can "fake" the useragent (which tells the server what browser and OS you are running) and if you are using Firefox, you can use an extension called "User Agent Switcher" (I think there's more than one useragent extension) to do the same.
anyways...."RTFM" doesn't apply....as it's an article, not a manual!
ANYWHO.... if u do block the entire country....the rest of the 99.9% will hunt down those responsible and beat them to a pulp...and the problem will be solved....and the block can be then removed
come on...u have to think about lynching mob mentality!
As far as AMD vs Intel goes, AMD does have a license from Intel....originally started way back from 1982 and after a long legal dispute after Intel tried to cancel the license, the Supreme Court of California sided with AMD in 1994
that's another interesting point. I'm not sure why it (parent) was tagged as offtopic.
The article linked to in the original post is on the Inq website and most slashdotians know that Inq (specifically one Inq contributor) is biased against everything nVIDIA does. Add to the fact, there are tones of bias in the original post (probably from the Inq article).
though currently, these are only rumors, it would be interesting to see how it will play out if these turn out not to be rumors.
For one, aren't both Intel and AMD having their own problems with anti-trust litigation in various places around the world? (I know Intel and the EU like to go at it) Intel might just quickly license nVIDIA to do so just so that they can claim that there is no anti-trust going on, especially when there's a 3rd player at the table.
anyways, don't forget...Microsoft (one of the employees at the time) coined the executable file format on DOS/Win to be "marked" with "MZ".
either way, the PhysX CUDA thingie only makes sense if you have more than one compatible Nvidia product (8xxx/9xxx/2x0), especially if you can't run them in SLi mode (or don't want to).
quickpar especially has been in use on usenet/newsgroups for years....o yea...forgot....they are trying to kill it.
anyways...there's also dvdisaster which now has several ways of "hardening". one of them seems to catch my attention: adds error correction data to a CD/DVD (via a disc image/iso)

Comcast's SpeedBoost only applies to the first 10MB of a download; which by the way helps "inflate" speeds for those speakeasy speed tests.
either way, the 250GB cap still exists, SpeedBoost or not.

same here. I have elite from sonic.

"shooting injury to the head"...to me...that's an execution.
u know...like that infamous video clip and photo from the vietnam war?
man....how far humanity has and hasn't come.
what about depleted uranium?
it's super dense....and extremely long half-life (weakly radioactive...according to wiki)

brilliant
(needs to be tagged with "suddenoutbreakofcommonsense")
that's why I'm still alive and I'd like to keep it that way ;)
no..I agree with ya 100%
Or at least check ID!
no...I went sober...
interesting point....and I was only saying it sarcastically
why not learn sarcasm?

why not block all automatic financial/bank transactions with Nigeria? Make it so some body has to sign for it, etc.
heck....if both parties are "guilty", why not put road-blocks to block both?
wiki says it's 1994
actually, it was IBM who required two sources (per their own company policy)
later, legal disputes settled the question
well...for the x86 (32bit) it's intel.
For x86-64 (64bit), it's AMD.
As far as AMD vs Intel goes, AMD does have a license from Intel....originally started way back from 1982 and after a long legal dispute after Intel tried to cancel the license, the Supreme Court of California sided with AMD in 1994
they should as they sued for it back in the P3 days.
that's another interesting point.
