Errr... I have to disagree with Point A. You see, I live right on the ocean, and we will never ever get a hurricane. Why? Because there are none here. The worst we have to deal with here in Vancouver is rain. And that giant earthquake that is going to happen sooner or later.
The CBC seems to really enjoy making their stuff avaliable. I mean they have a bunch of shows on podcasts such as Quirks and Quarks. Heck they even have one of their comedy shows (royal canadian air farce) avaliable online a few days after it was aired so you can watch it online.
Ah, I did not know that. I have been using my GMail account for a year now and haven't bothered to set up a new one. Thanks for pointing out my mistake.
I remember a physicists talking about that. He said that everyone on the earth jumped at the same time, we would move it something like... the width of an atom? (I can find the link to the podcast with that in it)
That is what I thought as well. I know many times I have re-installed Mozilla / Firefox by just re-downloading the install file from that site. I have also done this on multiple computers. So I have easily contributed to at least 20 of those downloads despite being only one person.
I could not agree with you more! For years I thought that evolution was the right theory, but now this has really opened my eyes up his Holy Spaghettiness.
To answer your question (which has been answered a billion times in this thread if you were REALLY bored and read through it all, like I did) Google Ads seems to be most people on/. enjoy. I mean they are simple and text-based and don't bother your web browsing at all. As well, most people don't seem to block images that blend into the site and aren't incredibly annoying and don't force you to click them.
I have known on many occasions I have been willing to pay the extra $10 a month to recieve commerical-free shows. It is just so much easier to watch a show with commericals then it is to watch it with commericals. In Italy, they threw in 5 minutes of commericals in the first five minutes and left the next 25 minutes commerical free (maybe with a one minute ad in the center) but it worked fine. Just tune in 5 minute later and you got a commerical free show.
I agree with you 100%. I am with a hosting company that charged $4 a month for 10GB and then for some reason they had a special deal for a few weeks that raised it to 100 GB a month. The deal ended but all customers got to keep the 100GB. So basically, a 100GB of bandwidth a month for a measly $4. I don't even know what do with all the bandwidth and most of it goes to waste.
Look at how many people use the internet today.
Now look at how many people use the internet a few years ago.
You can see the problem, with an increased number of people using the internet and more people visiting your site which results in more bandwidth which means it could cost you some money to maintain the site.
I think that flash-ads and other crappy ads like that are here to stay, at least for a while. How many/.'s still use IE? Most use something else. Adblock for Firefox is avaliable for Mozilla and Firefox which have something like that 10%? of the market share. There is still another 90% of the marketshare which is held by IE which, at least I am not aware of, has a good way to block ads. So until the average consumer starts switching to an alternative browser which can block ads, or someone creates a plugin for IE, the ads are here to stay.
Just adding on to that, by the time you are able to actually get a good VHS copy of a movie, the movie had all ready been out in theatres and it was now all ready playing on the TV and in Video stores. Basically chances are you had all ready seen the movie and, as mentioned above, you paid for it some way.

Quick get the vinegar!

Really? They took that down as well. Shucks. I really enjoyed that show. I have a few of their podcasts if you need them.

I noticed that as well. Heck you do not even need invites anymore, just check out this link - https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount
In fact, AIM only owns the market in the USA. Everywhere else in the world uses MSN.
Such as the USA?

No, that was with two Level 68 Knights with Swords of Death.

That is why I use Mozilla Suite.
That is what I thought as well. I know many times I have re-installed Mozilla / Firefox by just re-downloading the install file from that site. I have also done this on multiple computers. So I have easily contributed to at least 20 of those downloads despite being only one person.
I had to re-read that bit a few times to make sense of it. I have not even made it past the first sentance.
Now that is truly something I would pay $7.50 to see... multiple times!
It was so bad, I thought it say cum.
I could not agree with you more! For years I thought that evolution was the right theory, but now this has really opened my eyes up his Holy Spaghettiness.
So never?
And it would be a target that cost billions of dollars without any loss of life
Think of all the geeks and nerds... PLEASE THINK OF THEM!
If you do that, PLEASE post some pics SOMEWHERE.. or at least a link to them. That would be great.

And bandwidth is cheap. And getting cheaper.

I think I know why.
