Yes, my ISP (cox cable) provides usage statistics. I was only made aware of them when I got a nasty email warning that we had gone over our (250GB) limit! (Which I didn't know we had.)
Aside from the one time, we had a perfect storm of events ("big sale" at Steam, someone on a Netflix binge for days, while recovering from a medical procedure, etc).
Normally, my household usage is about 3GB/day (90GB/month).
I would be pissed too, about a proposed, new monthly tax that would be over $50, for me. (€40).
I understand different places have differing levels of "complexity" requirements for passwords, by why would there ever be a limit on the characters you can use?
One site might want 8 characters, with one number and one uppercase, and one special character, but they only allow "certain" special characters!
Some sites are ok with dashes, others, underscores... WHO CARES!
Oh, and don't get me started on credit card input "please enter just the number, no spaces or dashes" - Well, if you don't want the spaces and dashes in the user input, JUST FUCKING REMOVE them, and say "thank you" to the customer, who used to always be right, but now is apparently just a schmuck.
Slashdot Mirror
heh - yeah, it is obvious that "right-click" is "control+click".
Scroll-bars? Bah! those take up space! you should just "use the force" to intuit that you can "double finger" slide down to see more.
Record everything you do, and only save the exculpatory footage*.
*footage - we all know what that means, right? Like "dialing" a phone...
" push consumer behavior in the favored direction"
Ignoring the irony that diesel was once such a favored direction...
Commercial Planes are rated to fly through a certain amount of "debris", right? (including non-frozen poultry, of various sizes).
So, the obvious answer is that any drone is OK, as long as it can get sucked thru a passenger plane engine without shutting it down.
Win. Win.
However, the liability of any incident will be on the operator of the drone for putting a brick of a Leica camera on the platform...
Other than the IPO, the shares belong to other investors, right?
It's all good;
Chrome, Surface, iPad, they all have Brawndo, it's got electrolytes!
This has nothing to do with their gnome, right?
OK, we found this group of people... moving on.
Chalk it up for +1 diversity, but for God's sake, don't try to visit them and sneeze in there general direction.
If they were unhappy, they would have walked in one direction long enough to "discover" others. Leave them be.
LOL.
Called out on my blatant troll, but I still have to say "yes, and"...
Now you have Ebola resistant monkeys, with Ebola DNA in them swinging around in trees and sneezing on you.
What could possibly go wrong with crossing Ebola with the common cold.
Sure hope the vaccine works, because you are going to NEED it soon.
people whom you have met in person, such as your girlfriend
You can't assume that he has met his "girlfriend", in person. See, for examle, this. This is Slashdot!
But yes, passing around public keys is a nuisance that most people don't want to deal with.
"Too many grown-ups go into politics because they think they are smart"
There are counties of some states that are larger than Rhode Island.
Obviously, the length of an hour should be scaled to the latitude.
We have the technology now - with GPS.
Don't knock "fat, dumb, and happy" - it beats most of the alternatives!
Oh, they will take pork, trust me - it is delicious!
You won't be seeing any non-pork eating nations on Mars anytime soon.
When you push the Enter button, it goes somewhere, you know not where.
Looks like a GPS tracking device criminals are required to wear.
That and some mean tattoos and you'll look like a real bad-ass!

Killing things with pointy sticks ought to be in the curriculum of every school age child, you know, just in case [insert worst-case-scenario-here].
breath, drink, eat, procreate, think... die.
Ahh, the simple priorities of life.
How about a compelling reason?
People naturally say stuff without necessarily being correct.
Some of use are correct, more often than chance. Design some controlled research for that.

Was that too harsh?
Yeah... starting sometime after the 1940's
Just wait until electric cars that require commercial charging stations become popular.
The drop in gasoline tax revenue will logically lead to "car electricity" taxes... coming soon to a charging station near you.
