According to krischik, you just described how to implement the impossible. And to the user, even if they do notice, it shouldn't be any worst than a simple memory swapping delay.
Except that in a lot of places, you don't even have a choice for ISP.
But yeah, I also think that monthly quotas are the wrong idea. Then again, when you see the price/GB that some ISPs charge you when you go over the limit, that's even more insane.
Given that a lot of ISPs seem to be heading toward a monthly quota model, all this "cloud storage" thing seems to be the wrong way to handle your data IMHO.
Microsoft's Internet Explorer Development Team has teamed up with the Google Chrome Development Team to create JSE in a seemingly grand plan combat Mozilla Firefox's growing market share. The result: a JavaScript engine that outperforms all modern browsers currently available on the market.
Yes of course Microsoft will team up with Google to "combat Mozilla Firefox's growing market share". When chairs fly.
Indeed, not using UTF-8 is one of the things that annoy me the most about Slashdot. For a website that's supposed to be run by nerds, it's just shameful.
Not only that, but with an online "on-demand" system, you can really see which shows are successful, you don't have to rely on brain-dead network executives and "surveys". Pay checks can also be directed at shows which are actually watched and not garbage that keeps sucking money until they are cancelled.
Also, said brain-dead network executives can't try to kill shows by shuffling them around anymore.
And the other problem is the ads themselves. They keep limiting their audience to the USA, as if they can't figure out that ads don't have to be limited to one market.
Just get the Coke, Nestlé, Kraft, Apple, Toyota of this world (i.e. the big international companies) for your commercials. It doesn't matter where you are on the planet, some products are available everywhere.
I plan on getting a pre-paid Virgin when I can afford it. Comes out at around 8$CAD per month and I'm not even sure I'll use all the minutes for the year.
Your only choice is to be with Rogers (nevermind Fido, they got bought by Rogers). Whatever new iPhone comes out and even if it were free, the monthly bill from Rogers is too expensive and too limited.
I bet the iPod touch outsells the iPhone by a bigger margin than in the USA because of this.

I always knew SkyNet would emerge from a dark, disturbing network. But Fox News?
We're all doomed.

Ah, you talk like a fag, and your shit's all retarded. What I'd do, is just like... like... you know, spell it "edumacation".

Or, if you're an idiot, a 100% chance of blowing your brains out.
Indeed, they should be able to easily get 25 to 50 people for that amount, not 10.

I know they only stream to the USA, that was my point. It's the internet, there is no point in doing that.

The guy does have a point though, for the last few months it's been like they're not even testing their modifications before putting them online.
But yeah, submit a bug report, buddy.
