It would probably be a tad mor correct to call that quote "20GB of untrotteled data) but 70% of people would probably be more confused by thathen 20GB of unlimitid data, even if the latter makse less sence when you think about it
I feel no need to defend rhe telcos/cablecos but the question has that be asked "Is it possible that what the avarage slasdot reader deffines as highspeed internet and the deffinision used by politicians (for whitch supsedies are given ) might vary a bit?" Unfatunatly I suspect the difference is rather large and S usual the politicians are at the low nd of the scale (reduced costs)
Please forgive my ignorance but whatstops you from bridging said pos modem en yousing your own router that does not have those probleme? Or is the overbuffering don on the l2 fiber interfacr ?
50GB/month is that on cable/dsl? In thst case shame on your isp, this is 2016 not 2000, if on the other hand this is some form of mobile broadband.maybe. you shuld think about grtting cable/dsl which hopefully has guotas that ar a little less limiting.
These are just my Usd.02, if there are things I have not considered ( there probably are a few) please feel free to cpeect/inform me
Hav a nice day
Correct me I'm vrong but isn' vi oftten used synonomusly with vim (i know ir's wrong),? Iirc vi is often symlinked or sliased to start vim so it might alls pe that people write vi out of habbit even when reffering to vim, habbit beeing hatd to break etc
Hmm 2 routers you say, so each wifi nerwork runs on a dedicated subnet and ssid or do you mean access points? I wish people (at least on slashdot) would stopp calling aps routers when they dont route (ie have ar least one active RIB)
An example is texting an image. If I call you and ask you to take a selfie and text it to me, I can reasonably expect to have it within 5 minutes"
Hmm maybe my deffinition of texting is out date. I thougt texing implied those 150 carecrer texr only messages, picrures beeing mms, but thank you for updating my vocabulary, your effort has been epreciated:)
Ps: the centiment above was genuine, this was not a trol, tho Lol admit it may be off topic, mod acordingly if you feel the need tu hide this
Well be glad you don't feel you need a 80Gbps internett connection, I hear they are serioussly exspensive, and hard to get:)
Sorry I could not resist it was to easy ( we all feel the need to troll sometimes, this time the urge got the better of me)
Ah a color acurate monitor, yes rhat would be nice, try searching for a rec.709 monitor (used for broadcast ab blu-ray mastering). Those ae very exspencive unfortunatky:(
I suspect quite a few of those people you reffer to do nor actually know how to use Phootoshop either, thei just follow a procedure to "make x look good/cool" or whatever, if they knew what they where doing i suspect a goodle for somthing like for example " colour correction with gimp" would get them sorted out whitout mouch trubble for most cases. Well unless one of those steps (maybe the only one) was use plugin x and ptress auto ( wher the plugin name teally did not give a clue about what the plugin did behind the ceenes)
Disclamer: as is probably obvious I'm no a photoshop or a gimp expert so pleace correcte if/when I'm wrong
Well does his contract / terms of employment reqier him to be avalable in weekends? If not he is right to put that nessage up, he allso states thet if it is imortant he is avalable on the phonr. Ok his deffinision f important may wary from the ne his boss uses but that is yusy a question of a quick e-mail along the lines of "please specify in which dituasions I will be required to work on the weekend and what comensation I may expect". No dane boss can object to that can he/she?
What? This seems just like asking for a grat deal of pain and cost layer, why do the do this? Or is the risk only obvious to people that actualy understan imfosec at least to some degree (let's be honest here far from evry slashdot reader is an infosec expert but the avarage slashdot reader probably knows more about infosec than the avarage car electronics designer)
I'm probably at leasr inpresice in what I said above so if you find faults and take the time to correct me, thanks for the help and I'll try to do better next time, noone is perfect, have a nice day
DLCs work for some titles like Euro truck simulator 2 IMHO, you have the vanilla game with maps for central europe , if you want Eastern europe or scandinavia buy the relevant dlc, instead hof having a very ekspensive base game with no DLCs.
OK you have the issue with 3.d part devs of free mods (in this case maps) that use assets from one of the DLCs rendering their free maps unusable without said DLC, but I understand why they do it modeling takes a lot of time, amd why spend time duplicating other work ehen you instead can focus on things like actual roads.
Woops went of topic a bit
What they only provide 4% of the max speed they advertise and get away with it? I realize the can't scale their netwok tom ptovide 100Mbps at peak time but at least 80% shold be possible. Let's take another axaple if the utilities did an equaly bad job at scaling you wold probably have no chance to shover in the morming and we would have almost constant brownouts/blackouts at peak times, so as mouch as I dislike it there seems to be a need for regulation here.
Just to satisfy my own cureosity are you on coax or fiber? I seem to remeber reading somehere that in lab conditions the can bush a mzx of a few Gbps through a CMTS so the question becomes how many costumers are served from a single CMTS? My guess far more then 20 so we have a problem right there if we take into account less than perfect coax + repeaters it soon adds up, if I was the one setting the max speed I would not sell 100Mbps connections on a cox network unless I had a cmts in avery street (for singel famely homes) and in evry building for apartment blocks and maybe not even at that point. but then again would I get costumers ?
So you hav a phone that have known exploits and a laptop that had known exploits for a long time, hmm I don't know if that was smart.
ps: I am reffering to os level exploits just to make that clear
yes there is large amount of cash is hard to handel (and may be costly read:securety armored tansport etc) a USD 1bn bank transfer is at moast a bit of paperwork (authorusations and irs notification so the transfer dos naot gat flaged as suspisious), Getting 1bn in cash on the other hand... not so easy i guess

Hmm can't an individual (kid or not) do different things at different times on the same system? A movie is great for relaxsation

SWIFT is global you are probably thinking of SEPA transfers (transfers within EU done in €)
