Does it, anywhere in the contract, specify "unlimited data transfer" ? I assume you have an upper limit on your bandwidth, so unlimited data transfer cannot physically be correct. Therefore unlimited only refers to your connection, ie. they do not limit when you connect and for how long. Maybe you aren't old enough to remember AOL selling you 15 hours per month, but these days I can stay connected for an unlimited time with no extra charges. Don't try to complain that that is not what the average person would understand by "unlimited" as the average person doesn't know the difference between bandwidth and transfer allowance anyway. You appear to be trying to get something for nothing and are hoping the ignorance of the general public will back you up.
Do you think an "unlimited mileage" warrantee would cover your car if you used it in a destruction derby ?
I have an unlimited service but looking at my downloads this month I only have just under 6 GB of usage. And I torrent TV shows twice a week, and am on the net 24/7/365. WTF are you expecting ?
The real world proves you wrong. The fact is that there are private schools, and privately run internet services but most people don't have 100Mbps and most people don't send their kids to private school. Your post only makes sense if everybody has unlimited income, which is patently crap. If it weren't for govt. involvement, far fewer kids would get to attend school at all and the internet would be a toy for the rich (if it even existed outside military labs). Try reading a bit of history before ranting about how capitalism would save the world if only the pesky govt. would let it. Before the govt. stepped in, kids were more likely to be down a mine by the age of 8 not at a fucking private school.
Virgin, or NTL/Telewest didn't cable very much at all. Most of the infrastructure was already in place due to TV service provided and installed by Rediffusion in the 70s.
The place my father lives had no phone lines, let alone broadband. He asked BT how much to run a line to the village, and they asked for £20,000. There was no way my dad was paying that by himself, so he got maybe 20 others together and tried to raise the money that way. In the end after negotiation with the BT rep. it turns out that the £20,000 was a headline rate and with grants and subsidies from BT themselves it worked out substantially less, around £2000. Spread between 20 people this didn't work out too badly at all. They dug their own trench for the line to save money as well.
All figures are from memory so they could be inaccurate, but he didn't pay more than £100 personally. In fact I seem to recall that BT are obligated to provide a service if more than X people wish to subscribe, so it may have ended up being free to install (not including normal subscriptions) A T1 isn't worth the hassle.
The K-T boundary is not a simple line defining before and after. It is a phenomenon that took place over time - the estimated occurrence of the event was 65.5 (+||- 0.3)Ma. That is a 600,000 year margin, and when you consider that the earliest human species (read as - only just not monkeys) were at the most 2 million years old, it is not unreasonable to theorise that the causative event did not represent a definite cut off point for any species. Things can change a lot in 600K years. And it is also a dangerous habit to take estimated figures and then apply them to suit your own hypothesis too rigorously. Chinese whispers and all that. As somebody else posted further up, it would be more of a surprise to NOT find specimens outside of the accepted period.
What, like this ? Other than portability, I don't see the point. I already have a web server, mailserver, ftp server, ssh server, dns server, print server, X server, D-base server, samba server installed on my desktop. Why use someone else's hardware ? Just to feel vulnerable ?
The internet. Actually,/var/log/messages to find the issue then google to see who else has the same or similar issue. Or troll a few web hosting forums. Seriously, you need to take more interest in what's happening to your machines. My servers send me status reports by email every morning regarding patches, rootkit detection, unauthorised accesses, tripwire incursions etc etc. I have a server which has had minimal patching since 2002 and still runs fine with no rootkits. I have had no unavoidable downtime since 2002. Yes, I run Redhat Enterprise.
This is what disturbs me about the push for linux on the desktop. Most people can't be bothered to research and implement simple monitoring measures, then complain that everything's gone tits up. The whole point of linux is - YOU are in control, ultimate control. Use the power wisely or suffer the consequences. Don't go blaming the distro, the maintainers, the world for your inability to control something designed to react to your hand and your hand alone. A poor workman blames his tools, and GNU/linux is merely a tool.
Hence the yum check-updates and subsequent email ! You have to get involved if you want to be picky. Unless you know an update is available, how do you know whether or not to apply it ?
Why don't you determine which packages you DON'T want updated automatically and add them to an exclude list on each machine. Then you can run yum update from cron.daily and update the accepted packages, then set up a cron job to run an hour or so after the update which checks for other available package updates. It's pretty simple to run yum check-update and pipe the output into an email.
I have no idea if you can do this with apt but I don't see why not.
Cosmetic deals with outward appearance. Which seems to suggest that these drugs "appear" to enhance the brain, but are probably just focusing existing talents. I can get stoned and think up excellent stories, but later on all I have left is a vague memory. Speed helps me clean the house, but afterwards all I have is a clean house and no memory of what I did to achieve it.
Is it really going to hurt that much until the next time the battery is swapped out instead of charged ? You assume the new battery gets swapped out so continue the train of thought - jesus ! You seem to want to own the battery - well carry on mate, rental is far more cost effective.
Have a look at the last few stories posted here. The US appears to be a nation of wankers, led by wankers. Discuss. BTW, if you mod this as troll you are one of the aforesaid wankers.
SP3 was a rollup pack. If you were up to date with SP2 and later patches, you already had SP3 (minus the crap like Genuine Advantage and the malicious software tool).
LVM is a nightmare when you cross drives with it - it's like having a striped drive - any problem to either one will destroy the entire volume.
Not true. You might lose whatever is on the failed drive, but the rest of the volume should be fine. I've installed and configured LVM manually on FC4, and I use it for a large media directory spanning 5 sata drives. I had 1 drive fail fairly early in its life,and lost only file descriptors for maybe 3 or 4 files. I had to recreate the volume using the standard LVM metadata backups and there were all my files ( minus the 3 or 4 that had data on the dead drive). I don't like using it on / so I still have a 40GB ide holding that. I symlink as needed to directories on the LVM volume.
Find alternate nameservers. I use my (ex UK)colo server as nameservers instead of the BT default and I get much better service. Keep access to the tracker. Besides which, it's easier to dload over http from an Irish server. Always quick, actually better than Finland these days. I get bittorrent speeds of over 400 KBps with a 26 KBps upload limit on an "Up to 8MB" line, which is actually connected at around 6 MB. But only at night.
I don't see what the fuss is all about. Haven't any of you noticed how the govt. achieves control ?
By allowing the companies to claim tax credits on the diesel fuel, they are conditioning those companies to expect an income from the govt. Once they get used to that income they will come to rely on it. When the Govt. wants to introduce a new regulation, they can squeeze the firm using the financial hold they already have.
Shock horror, like it's never happened before. Whether you think the Govt. should act like this is down to you, the voter. Personally, if I'm to have a Govt. at all, then I would prefer it to have teeth, otherwise it wouldn't have the power to effect the changes I desire.
I use DVD Decrypter under Wine, and AutoGK to encode to xvid. AutoGK is just a wrapper around AviSynth and VobSub, using lame etc anyway, but takes care of all those nasty command line switches. Remember to use the hidden Ctrl+F9 menu for extra options.
You seem to have an awful lot to say on the issue, but none of it is your thoughts, just regurgitated media pap.
You are not the final authority on AGW, and you don't seem to be able to form an independent opinion, preferring instead to berate others for using their brains and not following the political bandwagon that is AGW.
Have you read this ?. In fact have the whole lot. Yet another piece of evidence that it is going to happen despite all your whining. There is no debate, there is global warming, it is part of the natural cycle called climate change. Winning an argument at all costs doesn't make you right, it makes you an asshole. So what if we accelerated the change. It is too late to go backwards, and even if it weren't, you may as well try stopping plate tectonics.
Now maybe I shouldn't have, but I read TFA. No-where are "international waters" mentioned. And what are these "valuable floating masses of copper" ? Do you realise how much effort it would take to steal any materials from these turbines ? How high they are ? And the fact that they are all on a network for control and monitoring ? The main mass of copper is in the cables which are at the bottom of the sea. The deep sea.
You can't have a TLD like "WOG" or "CUNT" or "PISS" or "TWAT" or "ALLAH" or "COON" or "$offensive". It comes under public order, because the public supposedly have a sense of morality that the Govt. enforces. A private concern can't be seen to ignore the law. Why not read the (6 page) PDF and find out ?
