Notice anything? Hmm, I notice a bunch of buildings built upon the backs of slave labor in the middle of a desert with zero natural resources.
A drain on both the environment and society.
Holy shit please tell me you're just being an insightful troll who is posting informative flamebait right now, why the hell wouldn't you upgrade to Verizon FIOS instead of continuing to use their DSL service?
Of course it's more stable and a billion times faster than their DSL. I don't know why they even offer DSL service in areas where they offer FIOS.
I regularly upload more than 900 GB in a month on a residential connection and I live in the United States.
I thought Japan was supposed to be some kind of broadband utopia? I must say, I am disappointed.
Just to clear up any confusion, and remove the bullshit fog from the atmosphere:
Time Warner is not doing this out of concern for "the children." It looks like they've finally found an excuse to get rid of their top-notch Usenet service. This is a red herring.
Time Warner Cable has, up until now, offered Usenet service that is outsourced to Newshosting. All TWC customers have had access to 110-day retention, unlimited bandwidth binary newsgroups. This has been a fairly well kept secret. It doesn't surprise me that they have now found an excuse to get rid of this surprising value (this kind of service is around $20/month from a third party Usenet provider, normally). Time Warner Cable has long been a top ISP in the United States for this, liberal bandwidth policies, and good speeds compared the competition. This is but another step in many that Time Warner is taking to increase their already impressive profits at the expense of the consumer. It seems that Time Warner is joining their Comcast buddies in trying to nickel and dime the consumer, while removing as much value as possible from their product.
Hey, Time Warner: Thanks for getting rid of my Usenet access. Now where the fuck is my $20/month cheaper service, assholes?
I know I'm already gearing up to switch over to the competition. The day Time Warner starts rolling out those ridiculous 40 GB bandwidth caps that they've been trialing in Texas is the day that I cancel my service with them. Why, when they are faced with increasing competition from Verizon's FIOS and AT&T's U-Verse, they are pulling this shit is beyond me.
Now, I don't know about Sprint and Verizon, but I suspect they are also doing this to save themselves some dough, and latching onto the pathetic "child porn" reason as an excuse as well.
I was under the impression that this problem was fixed in a T3CH build a while ago. I have several 720x576 x264 encoded files with CABAC and Deblocking enabled on them and they play fine in Xbox Media Center for me.
It's unfortunate that I'm currently in a room with 1049 users that is currently scrolling at a mile a minute, otherwise that joke might have been funny.
Comcast cannot be sued for breach of contract. There is a clause in their terms of service, as in every other ISP's TOS, that states something to the effect of "you cannot use the service so heavily that it degrades the network for other users."
There is an additional reason why invisible caps are usually better than set caps: overrage charges. If there's a visible cap, companies like to charge a couple of bucks per GB you go over that cap.
With an invisible one, all they can do is send you a letter to tone down the bandwidth usage, but not charge you for going over their hidden cap. They probably won't cut you off the first time.
I've got to be honest here... I'd take an invisible high bandwidth cap over something as low as 100 GB. I can rarely download less than 150 GB per month.
Yeah, it's pretty lame of Comcast to be cutting off customers using a large amount of bandwidth, but from the sounds of it they're randomly cutting off users who consume more than 200 GB of bandwidth per month.
Invisible caps are also better than set caps because set caps tend to be pretty low in general. However, when an ISP has an invisible cap, it often takes more bandwidth usage than it would be if it was a visible cap to grab their attention.
Then criminals can have rape houses where rape isn't illegal, houses where child molestation is legal, distribution centers for illegal weapons...
What a great idea!
DVD "special editions" have always raked in the cash, so it's not surprising the game industry is copying this formula. Every industry copies things from another. I'm just worried that special editions may start containing too much extra stuff and the regular editions of games may end up being half-assed.
Nintendo has probably told publishers to keep it under wraps. I'll bet that Nintendo's been quietly getting support for the Revolution - they probably just want to unleash it one day as a big surprise.

GNAA outreach program hailed as an overwhelming success. GNAA outreach program hailed as an overwhelming success. Impi - GNAA PR Department, South Africa.
In a bold move to bridge cultural divides and to promote racial and sexual
tolerance, GNAA president timecop, NAACP president Kweisi Mfumeq and the
distributors and broadcasters of popular Naruto anime series embarked
on an ambitious project to achieve these noble objectives.
The vehicle selected was the anime series Naruto. In collusion with the
distributors on this series, it was agreed to not broadcast episode 146 for the
week of August 1st to August 7th, 2005.
timecop proposed and executed the plan to provide an alternative viewing
experience, which was aimed at reaching out to the targeted population, and
bringing about the achievement of the goals of this project.
Spokesman for Nielsen Media Research Company, Armands Leimanis, estimated
that 77439 people downloaded the torrent, which actually was the movie Gay Niggers from Outer Space
masterfully disguised as Naruto 146. "Never in the history of mass media
marketing has something been so successfully marketed on such a large scale in
such a short period of time. timecop has succeeded in accomplishing what
marketing gurus around the globe have been trying to do for decades. This is
truly genius in motion."
timecop was unavailable for comment as he was on an expedition to photograph
spiders.
Dattebayo, in a fit of rage at being
excluded from this glorious endeavor, flipped out and made the channel #db on
rizon.net +i (invite only) and +k (key). This led to the mass suicide of an
estimated 16% of the Naruto viewing population. This is believed to be the
single most damaging factor in limiting the distribution of GNFOS to the
magical 100,000 leeches. NCAAP president Kweisi Mfumeq condemned Dattebayo's
actions and compared them to the KKK and gay bashing organizations.
About Dattebayo and #db on Rizon:
#db is a neo-fascist translating group who foists its misguided translations
of Naruto on the unsuspecting and naïve fans of this anime series, in an
attempt to promote their own nefarious agendas.

"The Universe. Its mighty power. Its evolutionary force, not to be stopped by
anyone. In its beauty, this, this is a happy place to stay, filled with harmony
and cosmic joy. A free place, where men can express themselves, and be as when
they were born. All of this is, because someone cares. Because someone looks
after us. When we sleep, when we play. When we act natural. This is a movie
about those who risk life, and partners, to guarantee living in a wonderful and
free universe. This is a movie about the Gayniggers From Outer Space. The
Gayniggers come from the planet Anus, in the 8th Sun System, far far away from
here. They are much, much more intelligent than any other creature in the
Universe. The most fascinating thing about them is that they, with the help of
their super intelligence, and their highly developed telepathic system,
Braintapping, will be able to create a world, a society, a perfect world to
live in without the presence of women. A MALE ONLY WORLD."

The real joke here is that you actually use PeerGuardian.
Transcoding from a lossy format to another lossy format sounds GREAT on the ears!
Wait a minute... here is a glimmer of hope. This doesn't apply to leaving the country, right?
Because I'm getting the hell out of here.
Notice anything? Hmm, I notice a bunch of buildings built upon the backs of slave labor in the middle of a desert with zero natural resources. A drain on both the environment and society.
Agreed. Fuck the politically correct down-modders.

Media Markt is a chain in Germany. It took approximately two seconds to Google "Media Markt" and come up with mediamarkt.de
It's unfortunate that I'm currently in a room with 1049 users that is currently scrolling at a mile a minute, otherwise that joke might have been funny.
Of course they have a financial reason for this. Perhaps you missed the part where they are integrating advertisements?
We shouldn't mod up people who can't even get "hear" right.
