How are folks verifying and actually proving the ISPs are throttling traffic instead of the traffic being slow because of heavy use in the area? How do you prove something like this to a regulator?
The Lynx was the only good thing Atari made in the 90's. It flopped because of the priceing.
It was the Neo Geo of hand helds. Awesome but out of most people's price range.
I misread and got excited because I thought the upcoming MMO was called "The Secret World: Rock, Paper, Shotgun." I have no idea what a game named that would be like but I'd probably pay money to find out.
I call dibs on the trademark.
Everyone back away from my intellectual property.
I'd like to find a girlfriend. She can't be fat, ugly, old, crippled, etc, and must like tossing salad, fisting, scat, and watersports. What should I do????
You wake up from that dream and settle for the emotionally broken girl who doesn't believe she can do any better than you.
you mean they got BORED in a meeting (don't we all?) and decided to do something productive during that big 5 hour power point presentation. That or slow news day. Or maybe the nukes are on the way and this is their little way of trying to humor us before the end - I don't keep up with that kind of stuff.
Well yes they probly got bored fell asleep and let the idiots in suits make decisions.
snore...snore....."What do you think Johnson?"....*erk*...good idea sir we'll implement that....particular....idea.....immediately.
In an attempt to bring the World closer to the hardcore warmonger's taste, Lockheed Martin is preparing to release new cluster munitions, a violent 'hack and slash' type of bomblet loaded with shrapnel and high explosives. This has brought attention from family-conscious lobbies: 'The decision to release a violent weapon from a nation which has based its reputation on family fun has shocked anti-violence pressure groups. Mediawatch-UK, Britain's longest-running pressure group campaigning for decency in TV, films and warfare, said Lockheed Martin will "spoil" the World.' The weapon features drab steel casings, except for the bomblets which are in brilliant yellow. Cluster bombs are widely available, but new ones are announced to be released in early 2009.
I have my worries about this, and I have no doubt that we all do here on/.. What I definitely do not want to see is/. becoming another digg/reddit/delicious. On the other hand, hopefully slashdot will be able to mold the content more so that it doesn't just become a "HERE'S ANOTHER FUNNY CAPTION PIC FROM 4CHAN" fest. Don't get me wrong, those things have their place and are sometimes humorous, but it doesn't fit the niche that is/.. Remember, the slashdot tagline is "News for Nerds" - not "Funny Image of the Day for Nerds".
With any luck, it will hopefully become something more along the lines of Daily Wtf, which still provides insight while remaining humorous. And in any case, congrats on rolling out a new feature for us/. staff.
Sega was that crazy friend of yours who was funny as hell and had so many good times with, and is now happily filling out TPS reports and saying he can't go out because he's got to work Sunday too.
Considering that he's now portrayed as a "cute" character rather than "cool and edgy", this might have gone a long way toward changing the public's perception of Sega.
It's hard to been as a edgy talking hedgehog when you have to compete with GTA.

Here's one way http://broadband.mpi-sws.mpg.de/transparency/bttest.php

Also, start your own company and show what you can do,
Of course you won't be able to compete with the companies that do outsource their jobs since their prices are lower than yours.

Here's a list of some other things we should therefore get rid of:
....because old fashioned stop signs are looseing their jobs?
Yes, they're all corrupt bastards, but compared to a hundred years ago, they're squeaky-clean.
What was wrong with Taft?
All the CNN spam stopped for me. Was getting nailed that last few days and now not one.
Thirteen-year-olds are no longer allowed to compete in the Olympics, mainly because of pedophiles like you!
China didn't get the memo.
Will we ever see a storage medium that can move data that fast?
Simply fill a container ship with a million LTO tapes and there you go, truly, unimaginably vast bandwidth.
Yeah it a lot of bandwidth but the lag sucks.
I assume you mean a definately rich and maybe good looking dude.

And thats why meetings are dangerous.

At least Nintendo isn't laying off it's employee's in droves.
First IDLE now this.
You guys had a board meeting didn't you?
How many times do I have to warn you about those!
That sounds like a fun game:
"Join Princess Peach and her pony pals as they go on a violent rampage to scalp Bowser"
I call dibs on this intellectual property!
You mean such as:
Yes, I see what you mean.
No all of those issues have been settled once and for all.
The correct answers are:
Pico
Lynx
FluxBox
Janeway
Now if you'll excuse me I have to go settle this little scuffle in the middle east.
And apparently you have no sense of humour. Perfect for Slashdot.
And your sarcasm detector is broken.
Oh the ironey.
If anything, Janet Jackson would be more likely to turn their child off toward sex for a very long time...
Wait wasn't that the whole point of fining her? I mean there's a whole generation of virgins out there thanks to her.
Sir. You have mis-spelled "liek".
No I deliberately used the correct spelling. This isn't 4chan.
[With Spore] we didn't want to go too far down that path: we leave the whole creation of the universe question open.
With spore, we know how the universe was created. It was created in Will Wright's office. Duh.
Intelligent design for the win.

Agreed.....so mudkips,,,you like em?
Sega was that crazy friend of yours who was funny as hell and had so many good times with, and is now happily filling out TPS reports and saying he can't go out because he's got to work Sunday too.
So.....Sega got married?
Considering that he's now portrayed as a "cute" character rather than "cool and edgy", this might have gone a long way toward changing the public's perception of Sega.

in this case due to their hypocrisy because several Republicans are homosexual.
So, do we get to rip on Democrats for being Catholic and pro-abortion?
No! That sounds like something Irish people would do.
Bill Clinton's policies were fine
Including the Communications Decency Act and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act?
And NAFTA. To be fair it was Bush Seniors idea but Clinton still signed for it.
