That sounds just like Rogers Wireless. They think people will pay $100 for 100MB per month!! FUCK THAT. I'm not sure how well the iPhone is going to do in Canada since Rogers is the only GSM provider that I know of so if they're not lowering their prices the to hell with it.
I know I, and probably 90% of the people here, would dig a trench by hand to get gigabit symmetric unlimited to the home. I'd do it all, just give me the stuff and I'd install it.
Actually people have tried already http://www.mc.vanderbilt.edu/reporter/index.html?I D=224 for one example.
I remember reading about a synthetic blood that was being tested on the public in I believe some parts of New York through the ambulances. You also didn't have any choice if you wanted this synthetic blood either, you just got it or not depending on your luck.
It's the right idea but it probably won't do anything to stop it. At my university all I have to do to get free microsoft software is ask for it. You can get virtually anything except any server products, for free. Places that are that in bed with MS usually won't change no matter how much you complain. After all, most of their student's won't complain.
I've only gotten it crashing on slashdot trying to tag stories. I'm using the latest nightly right now and it seems finally fixed. Hopefully Apple will push out a new Safari soon with the fix.
That's still a complete friggin rip off. They just assume already that everyone is a pirate in Canada. We pay fees on blank CDs and they're trying to get fees on iPods and other portable storage devices(or maybe they have already I can't remember) because obviously the only thing they're good for is listening to pirated music. If they get away with some tax on the internet new it's just another complete screw over for the consumer.
That's part of the job and he probably knew that before ever wanted to be a cop. Does that mean that just because he picks up brains from the ground that he should be allowed to speed or break some other laws? What about a mortician, they must see some nasty stuff but it's not like they are exempt from speeding tickets.
Yes well in my case you can get more than 100% and you get more marks for additional features. So if I got 70% based on requirements I could get a final mark on the assigment of 80% because of bonus.
There's nothing wrong with meeting the requirements AND adding additional features. I do it all the time and they encourage it at my university. As long as you meet the basic requirements they can't deduct marks from that.
If they cured diabetes they'd sell the cure to someone for a one time price of a few thousand dollars. Compare that to a lifetime of insulin and which comes out ahead? They make more money keeping the person on insulin than they would if they had a cure.
If I had cancer I'd sure as hell try anything I could get my hands on. You're likely to die anyways so if taking some unproven pills will work then there's no reason why someone shouldn't try it. The only thing that is unknown is the dose but I'm sure now that this study is getting in the news more trials will be done and a dose will eventually be worked out.
I think this just shows how despicable the drug companies really are. They aren't interested at all in curing any disease they just want to get you on some of their pills for life.
All I see in that news group is a link to a dslreports thread which I already read and the guy got unlimited and it was a mistake that he had a cap in his contract. People on new contracts get the cap by default but you can call and complain and get uncapped.. for now. 30GB is rediculous to me. I don't do anything shady and I go over that easily. Look at the size of the HD movie trailers. They are 3-4 mins long and 200+MB. Bell owns their own national network so they only have to pay for bandwidth they don't have peering agreements for. I'm sure that's a lot of traffic but Bell would have much lower bandwidth costs having their own network than a smaller ISP would. You can get better capped service from Techsavvy and unlimited if you don't care about cogent being the backbone. All that for lower than Sympatico. Even Rogers has a 100GB cap. That's more reasonable in at least on average less people would hit that cap.
Sympatico is still unlimited if you have a contract. For new customers without a contract you get a rediculously low cap. I still have unlimited, granted I've had Sympatico for many years.
OOhhh good come back. I'm a geek and I know lots of geeks. None use Linux, none care about open source. Most use Windows. I use OS X. Out of about 50 geeks I know not one uses Linux or cares about it or open source.
They may not be as open as Linux but in reality how many people really care? I'll guess 99.99+% of the people in the world don't care about their software being open source. The only advantage for Linux being open source which would be an attraction to more people is the software is mostly free. People care about money they don't care about compiling their own kernel drivers.
IMO they just slapped the iPhone name on that product to beat Apple to the market with a product with that name. They had it for years and just decide to come out with something a month before Apple. Seems a little suspicious.

Rogers is known to traffic shape only in areas that are oversubscribed. You are probably lucky in that your area is still not saturated enough.
I hope you have a lot of RAM. I get paging even with 2GB in my MBP and having Parallels, Safari, Mail, BBEdit, various other things open.
Maybe it doesn't matter for the current game but thinking of ~6 months down the line I'm sure there'd be games that'd take advantage of the new speed.
That's funny you say that since Facebook's users are not mostly teenage morons.0 19

Hmm, seems 12-17 year olds only make up 14% of Facebook users.

It's a private network they can do whatever the hell they want.
It's obviously muscle mass. You would gain more muscle playing a physical sport rather than just running.

What's even worse is that if you are outside your local calling area and you recieve a call you also get screwed for roaming charges!

It's already been 5 years and they STILL haven't gotten half the stuff working like they planned.
