If you're limited to 'X' Kb transfer in any one minute ('X' to be calculated on demand) then web surfing, email, Instant messaging would be Ok but things like BitTorrent and Youtube would be unusable.
That could work out...and the "filtering" would be quite simple to do and it would be pretty impossible to get around it - it's not based on type of traffic, only volume.
Don't feel bad about pirating anything which has no legal way to get hold of a copy or where you know the author won't be fairly compensated by the distributor.
If you can figure out a way to send the author some money then do so. If not, forget it...
The difference between digital/analog is bigger than the difference between digital and 720p.
Full 1080p (nb. not 1080i) would be the next really noticeable step up in quality but nobody's doing that yet and there's not really much technical demand for it. Movies are made at 24fps and that works at 1080i.
What's so fantastic about 1Gb/s? It's only four times faster...a RAID with four Intel devices will do it so just put four of them in a box with a RAID controller and Bob's your uncle...
He's not curious about your computers, he's just trying to do whatever it is you're doing. If you were reading a newspaper he'd be "interested in newspapers". If you were peeling potatoes he'd be "interested in starchy tubers".
From the sound of it you need to spend less time surfing the web and devote more time to the young person that YOU brought into the world.

And the boot time went from three minutes to about thirty seconds.
It used to have about 300Mb of swap file after bootup, which is dog slow on the Eee's SSD. This is despite task manager showing 700Mb of unused RAM.
Whatever Windows is doing, it's doing it wrong.
Note to EeePC owners: Get a 2Gb RAM module and disable the swap file. You'll be glad you did.
But ... if they're cheaper than Intel then why do they need to be faster?
PS: These days power efficiency is almost as important as speed.

People will absorb ANY amount of bandwidth if it's free. This thing will ALWAYS be overloaded and unusable. Period.
Nothing hard about it.
This is totally the fault of the developers, not Microsoft. Microsoft told them for years that "one day it will break".
OTOH the sort of people who'd put user data files in "program folders" never RTFM.
Oh, I can't. So upgrades are inevitable for most people - just as soon as their machines die.
Just use the Intel ray tracer...

Much more impressive than "DX10 rasterizer".
Intel does real time ray tracing on an eight core machine.

Which part of "eight core machine" is cheap and low end?
I'm sure a $50 graphics card is cheaper (and would whip this things ass).
So you're saying the next Office will require eight cores to run? (and only be as fast as on an Intel IGP...)
Eight cores at 3GHz beat one core at 400MHz!!!
Film at eleven.
Mod parent up.

Simple: Because the person asking the "questions" is a shill.
Sure they're happy, they don't know any better. Question is... are the parents?
Trading two normal people's happiness* (and resources) for one Down's person's happiness doesn't seem like a fair trade.
*Or even three people's happiness - a normal child can be happy too!
24fps is only noticeably jerky in sideways panning shots. A good director will try to avoid doing that with the camera.

But I think most parents are aiming for a person, not a house-pet.
Yes, but you know what I mean. RAW transfer speeds can scale quite linearly when you put multiple storage devices in parallel.
It's just a case of sorting out the controllers. SATA isn't fast enough for 1Gb/s so I assume it will be a mini-PCIe card or something like that.
If it is mini-PCIe then I'll definitely be getting one for my Eee PC.
Yeah, but ... Intel is shipping SSDs with 220Mb/s read/write:

What I mean is he should make the display show what's convenient, not the truth.
I don't know many companies who'd want their clients to see what's really going on internally. That's business...
What happens if an important customer comes in during a lull?
What your boss really wants clients to see (even though he may not know it yet) is constant, massive activity.
Maybe they had to take some big pieces of machinery apart before making a definitive statement. That takes time.
Even worse than a late statement would be making a statement then changing it a couple of weeks later.
...especially in Spain, where up to a third of the electricity is currently produced by wind.
