In an article in a local paper attributed to a "Kim Hart" of "The Washington Post", Kim says that "Companies have argued that if strict limits were disclosed, customers would use as much capacity as possible without tipping the scale, causing networks to slow to a crawl."
...it makes sense to me... then lower the limits, idiots! Many of us would like to know exactly where we stand! If I need more bandwidth than I currently have, let me purchase more. Or let me buy another connection and 'double-barrel' it!
I've always been pretty impressed reading through the code for the Standard Template Libraries. There's some absolutely brilliant, generally simple code there. Just about everybody that writes C++ for a living has used it at some point. It's easy to use, well documented, and general enough to use or modify-and-use in countless projects.
