    I was just thinking the same thing, I used to read music on my computer when I practiced tuba. Happens for TVs as well.

  2. Re:Nooo! on Dial-Up Users "Don't Want Broadband" · · Score: 1

    Strange thing is, I'm over 100 miles from the nearest metropolitan area with over a quarter million and I get advertised 6Mbps, and my average speed tests are over 10Mbps.

    I haven't RTFA, but wouldn't fighting aging but stopping just that, the rust easting the insides?

    Call me a troll, but what is legal war will always be determined by the guy with the biggest and best guns, and right now America is wearing the shoe and while the "rest of the world" might have the strength and ability to say no, that's not going to happen because all the single individuals are afraid to ask their neighbors if they would say no too.

  12. Re:Not a thief on Confessions of a Wi-Fi Thief · · Score: 2, Informative

    Leaving one's WLAN open and broadcasting is more like leaving your front door wide open and putting a neon sign that says OPEN. Maybe what is needed is regulation of who is allowed to run an open network such as a "wireless cafe permit" or something to that extent.

  18. Re:So? on 20% of U.S. Population Has Never Used Email · · Score: 1

    Well assuming you use broadband like a whole half of /., you're probably spending a good US$20-40 a month on it, if not more. If you used 1 gigabyte of your upstream bandwidth for said time period, and the contents of the POST for your message were about 1 kilobyte, it cost you as much as 3.17256924 95217897 53825681 9693945e-7 cents to send that message.</funny>
