It's only a matter of time.. until this spreads to other types of offenders: Drug offenders will likely be the next target. That includes low level drug offenders, caught with small amounts of cannabis.
In some places, you could even get a drug offense for having your medications outside of the prescription bottle..
Comcast couldn't tell me whether TCP/IP overhead was included in their 250GB limit or not..
I did, however, finally find out that upload AND download are included in it, but without knowing whether TCP/IP overhead is included or not (which I've been told could be as much as 40%), we have no real way to gage our usage..
I hate to admit this publicly.. but I've experienced what you've experienced, seeing through my eye lids.. I've noticed this ever since I can remember..
I've also been very tired on road trips, and dozed off, and "dreamed" the road ahead of us, and opened my eyes real quick and the road and everything else was exactly where I had "seen" them, only in full color now.
I really have no explanation for any of this, the seeing with skin thing seems a likely explanation..
I was informed by Comcast, after speaking to numerous people who didn't have a clue about the 250GB limit, or how it was determined, that the 250GB limit will include download AND upload combined.
So in reality, you'll get LESS than 250GB download per month..
I have, on occasion, gotten my connection up to 15M-30M. This is in Spokane, WA where you wouldn't expect those kinds of speeds.. my guess is, Comcast is testing higher speeds here..
How about not losing e-mail as a priority for Thunderbird 3.0? Or an automated backup system?
I've had Thunderbird lose all my e-mail randomly, the profile became corrupted and there was no easy way to retrieve it.. (Which is why I use IMAP now.. =) )

Sounds more like meth to me...
It's interesting what ancient flutes were made from...
Now adays people are making them out of bamboo:

I worked at a place, and EVERY time, they fired someone, the email read:
(Name) is no longer employed by (Company). If he/she sets foot on the premises, please ask him/her to leave.
If he/she refuses, please call the police immediately.
This was sent out for EVERY employee who was fired..

And don't think it will stop there..
My daughter was playing games online on my laptop a couple months before she turned 3..
She really likes PBSKids.org, nickjr.com, and the educational games in Linux..
Now at almost 4, she likes to help me do Drupal updates.. grin (With supervision, of course, but she actually did to some module updates for me..)
I've heard that ginkgo biloba works to improve memory and cognitive function...
However, you need to take it for 30 days before it starts working...
But if you can REMEMBER to take it every day for 30 days, then perhaps you don't NEED it?

So what's up with the expanded borders, up to 100 miles from the borders and 100 miles from coastal lines?

Does this count as a police state yet?
(Papers, please...)
Why is 2/3 of the U.S. population subject to these unconstitutional search and seizures?
Maybe it's just all in my mind..
But has anyone ELSE heard about this?

A minor update: The 250GB limit stays in place even for those who are paying the $10 a month extra for the increased speeds..
Apparently, the only way around it is to switch to business class, OR to another provider..

There is no such thing as "reverse discrimination", only "discrimination."
We all bleed the same color underneath..
Aren't sites socially moderated by Google to an extent, with PageRank counting links?
So how about a system with moderation and meta-moderation?
Or has that been done already? =)
They now have the Pro Drupal Development book in 2nd edition, which covers Drupal 6.. (and is quite a bit thicker than the Drupal 5 version...)
Put them on the development team?
I have, on occasion, gotten my connection up to 15M-30M. This is in Spokane, WA where you wouldn't expect those kinds of speeds.. my guess is, Comcast is testing higher speeds here..
Why DON'T we use DVD for Music? Wouldn't it sound better if the bitrate and sample rate were higher than 16 bit / 44.1khz?
And 5.1 surround as well?
Just lie on these questions! Put in answers you would know, but aren't factually correct.. =)
Simple solution..
There are "crimes" that shouldn't be crimes as well:
Growing pot to help your chemotherapy, for one..
Would this affect my pacemaker?
(Assuming I had one, of course..)
How long until we are given the option of infravision and ultravision? It would simply be computer processing at this point, right?
Napster.. baaaaad...
beer.. goooood..
guitar hero.. goooood..
(Anyone else seen that shit? =) )
Can you believe it? Guitar Center sells Rock Band and Guitar Hero?
Anyone else who plays slightly offended by this? =)
