The only high-speed connection available where I live is 5Mbps with a 35GiB monthly cap (35GiB total for upload+download) at 45$/month, with a 10$/GiB fee over the cap.
Don't like it? There's always dial-up at 25$/month with no monthly cap.
The upside? The nice little notice at the bottom of the monthly usage page: "Please note that at night time (00:00 to 07:59), traffic isn't calculated so you can do your massive downloads without risking going over your monthly cap."
Or even pictures saying "Your computer has been hax0red by the DropJPEG trojan" or something.
We could also do our part, pushing an image that say something alone the lines of "Your Safari browser is not properly configured for download security, please change your default download directory to yadayda..."
How much of the decline in sales is attributable to the people switching to Macs and to Linux, which can't run the Windows-only games?
How much is from people who are fed up with all that copy protection crap on Windows games (i.e. Valve) and are simply switching their gaming to consoles instead?
Give you game away for FREE and charge 1$/month for your game for server access fees. Pratically every game should be multiplayer by now, shouldn't it?
Well, except Zelda. And Metroid. And... well, ok, not all games should be multiplayer after all.
If Blizzard thinks they're raking in the dough now, imagine if you could get WoW for free (with all expansions packs free too) and they only charged 1$/month.
Nobody would ever think "I'll cancel my subscription because it costs too much".
Slashdot Mirror
= more people using a standards-compliant browser = easier life for us (Web coders/programmers).
And I say this as a Safari user on Mac OS X.
Go Firefox, Safari and Opera! Let's kick IE out!
BIjatlh 'e' yImev!
I'm still waiting for Opera to add simple border-radius support. I thought Opera 9.5 would finally add it, but sadly it didn't.
So it's square corners for Opera and IE6/IE7. I'm not patching things up via SVG to have round corners in Opera.
And how are static screenshots supposed to help you check the DHTML/Ajax compatibility across browsers?
Réseau is the french word for network!
And I genuinely think that you completely missed my joke.
"fractions of bits"? Come on...
whoosh!

And how the hell are they supposed to send fractions of bits?
I'm not buying a new router, damnit!
Sure it works, but the bandwidth is crap.
Think of the worst possible scenario, then build/design as if it's going to happen.

My reply was about the chair offering from the parent post above mine.
Also, Google is your friend.
Especially in Redmond.
Nah, he probably set his Firefox to reject all cookies anyway.

Don't forget to cut off one of your leg too!

Nah, once you upgrade everything it becomes nanopaper, nanorock and nanoscissors. Everything is back to normal.
Baby seals can fly?!
The guy just wrote that his only options were cable and DSL, and you make a comment about why he doesn't have a T1 line.
What about doing it with sugar instead?
