Then the users. Perhaps every of their customers should begin throttling payments. But coming from an industry where charging both the sender and recipient of the same SMS is the way to do business, not surprising.
Cable companies have been gouging customers for decades (high prices, low speeds, low quotas, even worse in Canada), they're trying to extort streaming services. They're afraid of competition and are doing everything they can to stop them instead of competing.
The problem is ISPs are also TV providers in most cases, something that should never have been allowed. Of course they'll try to protect their TV business. Here in Canada (Montreal), Both Bell and Videotron sell internet and TV services, why do you think they have such ridiculous quotas? 60GB is not that much, especially when watching Netflix.
ISPs should welcome those servers since it will cut down on traffic, not charge Netflix.
Depends on your needs. I never thought about getting it, because my vision isn't that bad without glasses. But one of my friend needed to put on her glasses just to be able to read the LED display on her alarm clock (not even 3 feet away), so for her it was worth it. (yet she still wears glasses for fashion)
" but if you aren't bothered by glasses and they don't cause you problems then there is no need to get the procedure."
THIS -^
I've never felt the need to have it done (-1.00 and -1.25). I can pretty much function without glasses (reading, computer, taking a walk). Besides, I'm 43 and it would be a waste of money since in a couple of years I'll probably need reading glasses anyway. And, I only have one set of eyes, I won't risk losing one of them...
The *only* advantage of having it done would be I could wear different sunglasses every day (girls have shoes, I have sunglasses:)
Only send vital info at intervals (like every minute), and compress before sending it. Voice using modern codecs takes very little space, and since you're compressing it, It could be measured in KBs for every minute. Modern telephony codecs are very efficient

They have to pay the bills somehow. That means they need money (which they have to get from ads since they give the stuff for free)
If ads are not too intrusive, and related to the website, by all means go for it.
No need to wait for that

I'm pretty sure this will work as well as the unskippable FBI warning on DVD movies.

And that is why they're offering those servers *for free*, to cut down traffic.

But my guess is the other Dinobots won't like it.

From what I've read, because they reshape the cornea, close-up vision could be worse when you age. (what I read)
I'm intrigued about the cost compared to LASIK or Implantables (those run for 8-12,00$)
Thanks, and not too far from home, I might give them a call

Why? There's no oil in space.
"CPUs are so overpowered for nearly all tasks we can live with less efficient compiler generated code."
And this is why an OS needs 15GB of disk space, a game 40GB, and a word processor around what? 2-3 gig?
Meanwhile a C64 runs a full blown flight simulator in 38K...
Aargh!... Please just let it die...
Corporations and NSA are exempt from most laws
Still covers a lot. Almost every software checks for updates.
Besides, HOW will they fincance that operation?
Besides, we were warned Europa is off limits
"other input voltages than 5V are still not accepted"
Putting yet another regulator would increases the cost & complexity. Want to use it with a 12V supply? It's not like it's really hard to use a 7805.
How long until they make yeast illegal?
I'm really looking forward to a prison sentence for trying to make my own bread
I'm amazed at how the safety cage is still there, pretty much undamaged, even if the car was split in half...
Looking at the pictures from TFA, looks like he would still be alive if not ejected from the car (if he could've gotten out before it caught fire)
No wonder NHTSA broke their machine while testing roof resistance

Don't diss gold-plated capacitors with wood dampening.
HDMI is digital. The problem with onboard was never the digital part, but the cheap analog parts and the noisy interior of a PC.
