    good job on not reading the article yourself, if you had you would see, in the article that the CTO of AT&T is implementing this but states:

    Such measures may not even be necessary, as Donovan admits that users self-adjust their habits to take advantage of off-peak times. For instance, he said, BitTorrent on the company's network peaks around 4 a.m., when other traffic is at an ebb. Overall P2P traffic accounts for about 20 percent of the network's usage, Donovan said.

    If users are self restricting themselves to off-peak why the need for usage based pricing at all? AT&T received federal funding to get a fiber network in as well, so far they have failed to do so.

    Except the radio stations don't pay for it, they sometimes even get paid to put certain tracks on because the music execs quite rightly figured out nobody wants to pay for music that they have never heard of before.
    Or at least that's how it is right now, lately the RIAA has been pushing to make them pay up. (source)

  8. no you have bad logic on 85% of Chinese Citizens Like Internet Censorship · · Score: 1

    Nor is it logical for Jim to call Bob's dog out of control. The denotation of "out of control" does indeed mean that Bob isn't controlling the dog but that doesn't take into account the connotations of the expression in relation to dogs. The connotations of the expression are that the dog is violent. Pissing on his shoes isn't a violent act, its merely a sign that the dog sees Jim as a a part of his territory. Also your logic fails to the account for the scenario that Bob has trained the dog to do that to Jim, thus the dog is perfectly within Bobs control.

    Wrong, It is illegal for ANYONE to provide alcohol to a minor, parent or not. Doing so will get you a "contributing to the delinquency of a minor" charge.

    Also it has been shown that people who drink when younger under supervised conditions are no more likely to become an alcoholic that a person who starts later, it has been proven to be quite the opposite. People who start drinking later tend to overdo it.

  21. Re:Having lived on a military base... on Google Pulls Map Images At Pentagon's Request · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I used to work for AAFES on MacDill AFB in Tampa, FL. While the things you said about deliveries and such used to be true after 9/11 it all changed. At our base there was a special gate JUST for deliveries, where the contents would be examined in depth. Coming onto the base you would be subjected to a high level of examination, mirrors under the car, examining everything. It was a nightmare, 4-5 hours just to get onto the base if you were driving (I lived near enough that i would walk into work). As for jumping the closed fences, forget about it, those things had barbed wire and not the single thin stuff it was the wrapped heavy duty stuff. Constant security patrols would be going up and down the edge of the base. I myself was so frequently detained for being suspicious (I walked, it was Florida, nobody walks in Florida!) that the guys back at the station knew me by name. Granted this was all immediately after 9/11 and up until mid '03 so my information may not be as relevant anymore.

  22. Re:Dumb question: Why are they 2 dimensional? on Rings Discovered Around a Moon for the First Time · · Score: 1

    Take a mass and put it onto a string, now attempt to get it to spin in three-dimensions. You should be finding that quite impossible, rotational forces cause it to all to line up into a single plane.
    You should also notice that rings appear around the middle of the planets, directly in between the two poles. This is because this is where the spin is, so your rotation is going to go to the outermost point it can get to but being unable to escape the gravity us stuck at this widest point.
