  1. Re:So what on P2P Bandwidth Hogging the Net · · Score: 1
    The prices are calculated based on the assumption that most users will check their mail and browse CNN, MSN, and Yahoo...and that's all.

    That's a decent assuption if you're talking about a dial up connection. But people get high speed connections for a reason, they want to fast downloads, whether it's p2p, streaming media or whatever. The ISPs should be assuming that this is what people will be using it for.

  2. Interestingly, my memory is failing. on Bard's Tale Sequel In Development? · · Score: 1

    Interestingly, Fargo was a designer on the original Bard's Tale, which was developed by Interplay back in 1987.

    I remember Bard's Tale from high school. I finished in 1986. I think it was released about 1985.

  3. Re:Uh...Yes on Lyric Sites In Trouble With The MPA · · Score: 1

    I was thinking the same thing. The only issue I can see is if the site is making money by displaying lyrics. In this case, they really should compensate whoever owns the rights to the lyrics.

  4. Re:Are they brazilian looking? on New US $20 bills Released, Colors & Layout Change · · Score: 1

    Just imagine your coins having all the same color/size/weight!!
    Nah, it would be easy to tell them apart and estimate how much do you have, there are numbers on them!


    In the U.S., coins don't have their value as a number on them, the value is spelled out (one cent, five cents , one dime, etc).

  5. Re:Are they brazilian looking? on New US $20 bills Released, Colors & Layout Change · · Score: 2, Funny

    Boy, had I trouble in the US keeping the different bills apart...

    The easiest way is to look at the number in the corner.

  6. Re:A valid use for a buttload of cash? on AOL, MS & Yahoo Unite On Anti-Spam Initiative · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's ok, with the windows users gone, there won't be any money in spam. It will just go away.

  7. Re:Floppy Disks vs. Hard Disks on Slashback: Folding, Cursing, Exporting · · Score: 2, Informative

    Zip disks are floppy, I just checked.

  8. Re:What is "reserving a right"? on Benetton Says No to RFIDs ... For Now · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I believe it is simply a warning, "We reserve the right to change the terms of this Privacy Policy" just means that if they want to change the policy at a later time, they will. They are just letting you know.

  9. Re:I don't get it on Did You Really Want To Read That Spam? · · Score: 1

    I was beginning to think I was the only one missing out on spam. I even made an account for spam, and I don't receive any spam on that one either, only newsletters and such that I requested. I'm not complaining, but with very little effort I've managed to avoid it.
