They can blame bittorrent all they want but at the end of the day if they can't handle 5% of the customers running p2p how are they going to handle 50% of them using streaming video?
I think you misunderstand how these things work.
See, single streaming video may utilize a couple of connections in order to keep the stream running. A single torrent could use a couple of thousand connections during a single transfer of the same file. The difference is in cpu time on the router per user. One dude streaming the latest american idol episode from youtube or wherever vs. one dude opening multiple connections (a couple for the tracker, and a couple for each user per chunk you are pulling from) can really add up.
Perhaps not something significant when looked at by itself. Say the one bt user utilizes.1% of the cpu load. 100 users doing the same thing can push that to 10%. 1000 users...
Granted this is an over simplification, but I think you get the point. Bandwidth is NOT the only issue. It takes CPUs to push those bits around too.

Add the known stars in the Milky Way and known exoplanets, our solar system into this different version of EVE Online, and add the simulation of orbital mechanics to the whole lot, as well as the ability to simulate surface landings and you're done.
Hey CCP! Send me a copy of yer source so I can mod it for NASA's use. I'll mention you guys in the credits...
I seem to remember a virus back in the 486 days that would cause the hard drive to sweep back and forth between extremes and would keep sweeping until it hit some "resonant frequency" of the drive heads. At that point the heads would start oscillating on the vertical, causing it to strike the platter and physically damage the hard disc.
Anyone else remember this? I had only seen it once and have never been able to find a reference to it.
This would have been in the mid '90s. I have been wracking my brain over finding it since then.
Anyone else who has heard of this, reply and let me know.
"They are not interfering with your data. What they are doing is interfering with their subscribers requested copy of that data. Their subscriber has the right to render the requested HTML in any way they see fit."
The difference here is that the end user is deciding how the html will be _rendered_, which is not in any way altering the packets themselves. The ISP should not have the right to manipulate the data coming into my browser. When the ISP does that, they are taking the choice out of the user's hands.
To use your book analogy, the bookstore is altering the book and selling it to you without letting you know what changes have been made.
I think the point is to see if anything has developed on Mars before we go there and contaminate the environment, thereby making it impossible to determine if what is found came with us to Mars or was pre-existing.
Czech out the Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson. Ann in those books makes a very good argument on that basis.
"Einstein and Morgenstern coached Goedel for his U.S. citizenship exam, concerned that their friend's unpredictable behavior might jeopardize his chances. When the Nazi regime was briefly mentioned, Goedel informed the presiding judge that he had discovered a way in which a dictatorship could be legally installed in the United States, through a logical contradiction in the U.S. Constitution. Neither judge, nor Einstein or Morgenstern allowed Goedel to finish his line of thought and he was awarded citizenship."
Now that I am sober I can explain the train of thought a bit more completely...
Basically, the milky way is not in the same position in space as it was say... 10 billion years ago.
So, if we look in the direction from which the milky way traveled, could we not see the light of our own galaxy in the place it was billions of years ago?
Silly I know, but the thought made sense at the time...

I was always curious. If looking farther away is looking back in time, the conceivably, we should be able to find the milky way just by looking for it. It's not stationary, but not moving nearly the speed of light. Could there be a light "echo" somewhere out there and we're really looking at ourselves through a temporal colored lens?

Yup.. 9193KB/s here. no issues with downloading...
Move to Japan. Nearly all the fiber to the home here is IPv6.
Now if only they could "kindle" some interest in the darned things and make the media format open we might have something to be excited about.

That is the essence of the problem.
Simple. CCP should be all over this.

Perhaps it's just me, or does the term "double amputee" mean he WAS born with legs, but had them chopped off at a later point in life.
Seem like a significant difference.
Great...
Imagine being able to use this at Gitmo:
"Sir, we've zapped him twice, and he still refuses to talk."
"Isn't that the point private?"
"He must be guilty. Lethal injection time."

Currently working on a C# implementation of a web based in house CRM system.
Going to be nice to finally be able to support our Linux desktops as well.
We'll see how porting goes and if it's really worth the trouble.

Contra wise. Because if it was, then it would be, and if it could, then it should be, but as it isn't, it ain't.
That's logic.
You have _GOT_ to be shitting me. Is this a real movie? How retarded can people get? Wish I had that kind of money to waste.
Could this be what Kurt Goedel meant:
"Einstein and Morgenstern coached Goedel for his U.S. citizenship exam, concerned that their friend's unpredictable behavior might jeopardize his chances. When the Nazi regime was briefly mentioned, Goedel informed the presiding judge that he had discovered a way in which a dictatorship could be legally installed in the United States, through a logical contradiction in the U.S. Constitution.
