    Poland Warsaw
    Biggest Cable ISP (Aster) - 120/6 Mbit (I know its stupid) = 50 Euro
    (No limits, no P2P throttling, great pings all over the world, can saturate WHOLE connection at all times of the day)
    direct competitor (UPC) - 120/10 Mbit = 50 Euro
    (No limits, sadly they do throttle P2P)

    Personally I use 10/1 for 25 Euro. I seed whenever my computer is on at 1Mbit (about 1 TB a month).

    Without those religious fundamentalists fighting and dieing for their beliefs you would still be stuck under the rule of the Anglican church.

    From [H] Forums:

    I just want to clear up something Paul keeps bringing up in this thread: Ipex is a division of ASI. Ipex isn't ASI.

    Full disclosure: I worked for ASI for some time back in the 90's (God, I feel old).

    ASI is a legit Intel distributor (one of only a small handful) and is one of Newegg's biggest sources for Intel CPU's. Ipex, on the other hand, is the division that deals in gray market CPU's, RAM, etc.

    WHAT? so ASI has a division specializing in counterfeited goods?

    Yes, but even with ACPI there is no "kill battery" function

    Actually there is. Chip in the Battery counts charge/discharge cycles. All it takes it to tell that chip you charge/discharge battery 50 times a day and it will consider battery dead after a week just like Printers do with ink cartridges.

    Would you also like this tiger-repellent rock? In Poland Ministry of Health said this Flu is weaker than normal seasonal ones and did NOT get any vaccines. Lobbyists went apeshit on her (She is a doctor, and a damn good one, people believed her) including Commissioner for Civil Rights trying to get her in legal trouble for "endangering population. He went so far with his little lobbying shit that he contracted flu himself and started claiming it was the swine flu .... Crazy shit.

  13. Re:Two points on Freescale Unveils Design For $199 Tablet · · Score: 1

    1) Reference design != product 2) Cost of $199 is based on Freescale's projected cost of components, meaning actual cost to consumers would be higher (probably closer to the rumored $300 iSlate price)

    I am working on the very periphery of the problem, designing equipment to measure the properties of hot radioactive molten fluorides - in the region between 900-1700 C, for European nuclear researchers. Clearly one of the problems which should be obvious is that we are looking at cutting edge material technology to work at these temperatures and neutron fluxes !

  20. Re:Finally! on Graphic Novelist Calls For Better Game Violence · · Score: 1

    I definitely agree with the article, unrealistic games are terrible. I've found myself gravitating towards games with realistic damage rates and weapon accuracies.

    For example:

    - Counter Strike: Used to be really good in the early betas, then went to hell once the whiners in the forums resulted in every weapon being nerfed. I stopped playing it after I emptied a clip at point blank into a guy's head, missed with every bullet, and then had him turn around and knife me. Over 90% of players had never played CS when it was good, and have no idea just what they're missing...

    Try Cod4 on Hardcore servers. Usually One bullet is enough for a kill. Funny thing is CS lamers took over "professional gaming" side of things and forced community to play so called ProMod. ProMod turns Cod4 into a CS clone where you need HALF AK47 clip to kill someone ... recoil is reduced, no gun sway, and sniper rifles are 100% accurate. Not to mention it removes all tactical perks. Its like "pro" players cant handle hard game so they made it lamer friendly.

    Certainly you are not alone. AFAICT he's a self-appointed pundit who's in love with his own rather murky ideas. No doubt it's all about the ad sense dollars.

    I read that he likes to pick up little girls, but Google blacklisted that information.
