  1. Re:All pay for majority's use. on Modem Tax - Urban Legend Come True? · · Score: 1
    Data users by far are not "average" users, as they use up many many times the amount of resources non-data users use.


    Is this really true? I would think that for the typical modem user, given the sporatic data transfer nature of Web browsing (little happens after the page is locally cached until you go to the next), that a regular phone call moves way more total data over the same period of time.

    Absolutely. Wharf nailed to one side and trimmed to just the apps he needs, app size locked not to cover the bar, pretty picture on the desktop, maybe right-click on the desktop to change that picture; seems pretty bulletproof.

    To have amassed such a fortune in so a short time is impressive.

    Without trying to be snarky about it (honest), it's fair to point out that the same could reasonable said of Madonna.

    Hmm, been living here all my (city) life and this doesn't ring a bell. Guns are still easily available at larger sporting goods stores and, if I recall, even at the ye olde Canadian Tire. I thought it was perfectly legal to keep guns in the home, country or city. What did change recently are the regulations governing registration and storage. Did I miss something?
