  1. Microsoft's Per-CD Cost Averages $0.5 on Intel's Per-Chip Cost Averages $40 · · Score: 1

    "According to a report by the analysts at In-Stat, Average's average cost per CD is about $0.5. These same CDs, such as the Windows XP, can cost consumers up to $200. This $0.5 average cost has remained rather steady since 2003. This cost does not include money spent on marketing or development, but it does explain how Microsoft can continue its profits even in this era of quickly rising of open source software."

  7. Re:Silly IP question. on 8Mbit Broadband to Become Available in the UK · · Score: 1

    I think they give you more than 1 IP, so you don't need to buy a router (to set up NAT) if you want to connect more than 1 PC to the Internet.

  8. Expensive! on 8Mbit Broadband to Become Available in the UK · · Score: 5, Informative

    That is very expensive. In Japan, for example ADSL connection from Yahoo Japan costs you about 4000 yen per month (less than 40 US dollar) for 50 Mbps ADSL.

    And also fibre optic connection has become very common and cheaper. For example Usen Networks (one of the provider in Japan) provides 100 Mbps fibre optic connection for only 2950 per month.

    I use the fibre optic that comes with 5 static IPs. And it costs me about 5000 yen per month.

    Download cap is totally never heard in here. As far as I know, all packages come with unlimited bandwidth.
