it has nothing to do with them assuming that only a small percentage use the connection and everything to do with the physical limitation os cell tower antenna, yes you can get many many "fingers" of signal sent, but there is still a limit and the only way around that limit is more towers
it could be done by allowing the user to set the balance between latency and transfer rate. realtime traffic, like VOIP or HTML page downloads could have a low overall throughput but arrive in order and with as little latency as possible, while images in the web page could be loaded at a higher transfer rate but take longer to start, and at the opposite extreme BT transfers will come in in huge unordered and fragmented chunks because they get squeezed into whatever available space there is, but you get a lot more throughput.
and if it takes you an extra few minutes to download a movie there isn't much of a hassle, if it takes an extra 10 seconds to download a web page, it's annoying and seriously degrades user experience
soviet russia was no more proper socialist than capitalist america, both subverted the will and well being of the people for the benefit of the wealthy and connected
wow did the mental giants who first thought up using an inline graphic to portray legitimacy ever consider that someone may.... save... said graphic and re-use it.

it's been over a year so things may have changed a lot since i played, but all the real money i made in WoW was made using the auctioneer addon, speculating on goods around patch time and sniping undervalued items who's auctions ended at low population times.
i never broke level 35 and always had more gold than my brother who was level 60, then again by the time i started doing that i had bored of the PvP and PvE aspects of the game and was almost exclusively playing it as a MMO version of DopeWar.
that was a few decades ago, now the goal is to get it out the door so it at least still works when the customer gets it home, then blame improper setup or other equipment for any problems.
not quite, any router that can be crashed by bad packets is buggy, i don't see the need for routers to be designed to anticipate other bad behavior, such as dumping 110 V AC down all 8 pins
allow users to score their own QoS ratings, but only give them a certain amount of points so you "could" get your torrent done 15 minutes sooner, but doing so will empty your bucket of premium bits faster than it fills and leave you with shaky internet while it refills enough to be decent again. you don't need your torrent packets getting though soon just lots of them need to show up so makr your traffic honestly and your experience is better and so is everyone else's, mark it as VOIP and you'll get a single-digit percentage speed boost and crappy everything else.
i'm using a unicomp USB customizer right now, i can type faster with this and it doesn't wear out the same way, modern keyboards get sticky and start to resist off-center strikes as they age (or new out of the box for some shittier models) spring keyboards just get slightly softer over time and even that only really happens if you abuse it.
the only real issue i have found is that the tip right corner holds some sensitive circuitry that goes nuts if a GSM phone gets a call while placed there.
maybe most people on slashdot. if you start talking about breezy badges, gutsy gibbons, and hard herons in the average convenience store most people will just think you are some kind of pervert

on the surface for DVD 5 eh? sounds like a standard abrasive scratch repairer would fix them, though the DVD-9's would need some other method
a projector on the ceiling can turn a blank wall above the fireplace into a screen, and it won't get destroyed by actually using the fireplace.

i've seen some keyboards with a tux printed on instead
Why isn't there more innovation in this space?
because most people don't even know how bad their $1.50 OEM keyboard is.

OK is a perfectly acceptable button, when it's the only button on the dialog.
congratulations, you are the stupidest motherfucker to ever post on slashdot.
how exactly was it worse for the USSR to put nukes near the US than for the US to put nukes close to the USSR?
protip: " because they are commies" isn't good enough a reason.
some will work if you blow on the glass.
