It's the opposite. ISPs will incur less costs if the bandwidth usage is less
Unless you have some sort of Aussie-Comcast. Then you'll get "special super stupid cool improved rates" where you can upgrade to 1 Mbps for an extra $10 per month or downgrade your email storage capacity to keep your current rate. (Which is what Flet's ADSL recently did to me here in Japan)
C'mon, you should know by now - stupid people have greater chances of breeding. This can be witnessed first hand by those who live in the midwest, watch the evening news and get to see which piece of methtrash got busted today for running a lab out of their house.
The overall challenge a game provides is not a measure against access. By your logic, a series of well-timed button presses can circumvent it and anybody who has beaten a game is breaking the law.
Nope - using Firefox under Debian. I know the workarounds like using the pull-down menu to jump back multiple pages; it's just annoying as hell that you have to do that. I hate it because it only becomes noticeable after about 4 or 5 clicks when you finally realize it's not the connection being unresponsive.
And I doubt these are being caused inadvertently by bad design. Some scummy websites have the idea of getting novice users stuck on their page in mind.
What's the deal with not being able to back out of some pages (especially the scummy ones)? Why is this an even issue in non-IE browsers? Is this required for compatibility or something and can it be disabled without killing a bunch of other things as well?
Now, mod me down for being a dumbass, but if I'm reading that quote right (no I didn't RTFA), that's Nintendo saying they don't know when their own damn game is going to be released. Doesn't this strike anyone as ODD?!
Not really. They really have no idea when it will be done; they're developing software, not making a burrito.
I see a new application naming convention inspired by language impediments coming on. Soon we'll be using editors like Txtpd and paint programs called brshpnt. Take that, KDE!
Read at -1 once in a while. The post I replied to is omitted otherwise.
But why I did it is another story. I replied on the premise that checking the MD5 of an IP address was a technically inept thing to say you were doing. Then I remembered later on that Slashdot will give you the MD5 sum of your IP if you get banned and need to securely send IP info to admins.
Still a dumb thing to say, considering even the MD5 isn't viewable to general viewers.
Slashdot Mirror
Ridiculous

"its"
Wow, now they can't even get grammar correct.
Check again, they use Dell laptops. (Thank you, HD!)

You win the award for First Ever Comcast-hosted Personal Page That Actually Works!

That's why saying "boxen" is very, very far away from popular. (outside Slashdot, anyway)
No, it just makes it easier to identify those that are remarkably superficial and potentially nothing more than the current iteration of Eliza.
Dr. Sbaitso: Perhaps you are miss-tack-en?

It would be cool if it didn't suck (but I'm sure you already know that)

You never know. He may be stuck in alternate history where anti-trust trials actually work.

A googlebomb is not the answer? What the kumquat are you talking about?
They have become imune to the actual message and expect that klicking ok or next is the only way out of it.
Lemme guess - they should switch to KDE?
Why don't they just put a sk i ll and crossbones in the alert. Or do they?
What's wrong with the existing uxclamation point?
Yeah, reminiscent of MS Outlook's exit window.
Oh well, at least Nero doesn't keep you from logging out when it's open.
Is there anything the iPod can't do? ;)
a) Gapless playback
b) Tune FM Radio
c) Ogg Vorbis or FLAC
how much does a read/write knoppix cd cost that works on a machine without a cd burner?
Let's go way overkill for an alternative to the iPod:
Dual Layer DVD Writer, Internal: $60
Blank Disc: Less than $0.50
Total: Around $60
iPod 20GB: $250 (or whereabouts)
Even after going way overkill, it's still less than 1/4 of the price.

Subtract 3.5 hours for Mexican.
Huh? I'm just a third party replying to the "MD5 of your IP" guy just for the hell of it.
