They also allocate 512KB more bandwidth to your link while other people are using it, and only allow the other people to use this, which is quite neat.
Your bandwidth is limited by your provisioning file. To change the bandwidth you need to get a new Prov. file. To get a new provisioning file, you need to reboot your modem.
Yeah, just what I want, my modem randomly rebooting to fuck with my bandwidth caps when I'm downloading something or playing a game. Thanks, but no thanks BT.
All I need is basic abilities for word processing and the occasional spreadsheet. OO.o does this just fine for me. No need to shell out $200+ for MS office, at least in my opinion.
No, but he should have the common sense to make sure he has adequately qualified individuals dealing with database code, and that the code should be double... scratch that... tripple checked, and most likely check by an outside security consultant BEFORE it goes live. Especially when it is data that needs absolute security.
I don't have a major in business or anything, but it's pretty obvious that if you do not understand the basic concept of, "protect private information", you are NOT a competent CEO.
Personally, I'd have a LOT of fun with that one. It would go like this: remove the picture from the monitor, write "evolution" on jesus's forehead, dispose of said picture in a waste basket.
I agree that simply using absurd amounts of bandwidth is not proof of wrongdoing, there is little likelihood that those using 300GB/mo are not doing something wrong.
This is kinda what I was getting at. If they want to limit bandwidth, fine... but if they are going to place limits they need to clearly define what those limits are.
I agree, it's had to fill tons of bandwidth legally, but they can't sell and unlimited service and then complan that you use it. If they ahve proof you are breakign TOS and that's why they are getting rid of you (ie. copyright infringement, etc.) fine. Jsut tell people you are being terminated for breaking rule number X. Don't come out with some BS liek "you're using too much of an unlimited service".
While I do believe that we will be seeing more and more traffic into the future, with higher bitrates, more video, etc... you have a very good point here. What LEGITIMATE purposes can really push 5-10GB per day!?!
Who cares... it's not about who can, it's abotu what they sold.
Look, say I owned a "all you can eat" buffet. You come in and pay me your 14.95 for the "all you can eat lunch". I notice you are sonsuming more food than other customers that bought the same lunch. So I then kick you out and tell you, "you're eating too much food at the all you can eat buffet, GTFO". Obviously you'd be pretty pissed off, because you were sold something with a certain expectation and told you were't allowed to ahve what you had purchased.
If I sold something to you I *HAVE* to deliver it, even if it costs me money to do so. Improper usage planning on my behalf is my problem, not yours.
Agreed, but the other thing about this problem that really seems to burn all the sysadmins and network admins and IT geeks out here is that with all the amazing knowledge and problem solving abilities, no one has been able to devise an elegant solution to this problem.
That's because there is no elegant solution to social eng. attacks. The extent of human ignorance is obscene.
I bet if I sent out some random crap exe to a bunch of people, which when opened it would popup a box that said, "h4ck.exe would like to steal your credit card numbers, shit in your bed, and screw your girlfriend. Would you like to continue?" Ok, or cancel. And some people STILL would click ok.
Oh no, a private company doesn't want to install lines/hardware to your home. Fucking deal with it, it's their right as a private company.
Say you ran a pizza shop, you decide where your boundaries for delivery are. After that point, oh well, no deliveries. It's the same thing really. They have their boundaries of service. If you don't like it, that's just a tough break for you.
I hate how people always think everybody *owes* them something. That isn't the way the world works.
Since you think it's reasonable to have lines ran to your home and the necessary hardware installed and maintained, why don't you start a company and do it yourself if they aren't willing to? If there REALLY is money to be made there, you should jump at that opportunity.
All they are offering for a batterty that increases storage capacity by 20x per pound is $1 million? Are they fucking serious? Thanks, but no thanks. If I spent all of that money on R&D I'd be expecting a bigger return on investment than a mil. Free market for me.
Makes me think of Austin powers... 1... million... dollars... mwahahaha.
From the article title I was wondering what would make it Slashdot worthy. Sadly, after reading it, I confirmed that my suspicions were true - it's essentially a large fan on the back of a tricycle. Nothing groundbreaking or earth shattering about it. In fact, it is way less efficient than a normal tricycle. Also, call me crazy - but I don't feel comfortable with large unshielded fans behind my head.
Don't worry, the parent poster you replied to seems to be rather light upstairs. He preaches the word of god in one place... then justifies stealing in another. He's as fucking hypocritical as they come.
me: "a guy feeding himself is more important than a rich guy's game"
=======================
Sure it's more important that someone's game. However, it does NOT justify joining in on the "rich guy's game" and NOT following the game rules and ruining it. Can't the guy that needs to feed himself find soemthing else to do besides fuck with other people's fun so he can eat?
Hypothetically, and according to your logic my example here would follow: Say you had a really nice motorcycle that you like to ride around for fun. Something you spent a lot of time on maintaining and take pride in.. you know, you shine the chrome on the bike etc. You wake up one morning and the nice decorated chrome handlebars and wheels are gone. Later you find out they were pawned by a local bum so he could buy food. Would you be cool with that? I mean after all, your bike is just for fun and the guy needed to eat.
Customers will be more satisfied to pay for support when they really need it, rather than getting the run-around and negative experiences from customer service representatives.
=====================
This is only partially true. Say I buy a PC from Dell, two months later the memory dies (you tested via memtest86+ to confirm this). You call in to Dell and tell them taht you have bad RAM and it needs to be replaces. The cust service rep tells you to call support at 1.99 a min. So, you call their support and 30 mins and $60 later you are told it's bad RAM and it needs to be replaced... somethign you knew all along.
Under this new model you get your RAM replaced, jsut like under the old model, except you are out $60 to boot.
Why they would even consider using Clouseau as a name for security/investigation software is beyond me. If I wanted to encourage sales of a security product I wouldn't name it after a bungling detective who got things done haphazardly and by chance.
Oh wait.. maybe there is a hint of truth to the name, maybe it jsut finds files by chance too...
"...never opens packets to determine file legality..."

Physically, they look very similar.

For Telephone service, NOT Internet service.
Big difference.
I want to say.. hi... and shut the fuck up.

I think a more meaningful example would be in (cost/average income). Sure, it's 34 cents per Mbps in Korea, but what about staffing costs, etc.
Actually, if it means I don't have to hear songs about "shorty's birthday" anymore I will enjoy a silent USA.

Tom: My ping is 19.
Joe: Thats great!
Tom:
I'll feel sorry for these Chinese people, but in the end I'll still gank them in game whenever and wherever I find them. How valiant of you.
Yeah, he kills people who break the rules of the game. Go have a fucking cry about it.

Side tidbit for those wondering who Clouseau is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inspector_Clouseau
Actually, there are 28 Republicans and 21 Democrats on the list.
What does $2000 buy you? Like 0.75 seconds of TV ad time? IMO, this is being blown way out of proportion.
