I think that ISPs need to take a different approach other than imposing hard caps on the users, even if you can choose your cap with varying amounts of cash.
First, the users that occaisonally download large files should be treated differnetly than those that leave their p2p clients/home webserver/internet radio on all the time. For example, I often need to download isos for linux livecds or install disks. If my average daily usage is low, this download shouldn't count against my bandwidth usage. However if I'm downloading isos all day every day, then some of that bandwidth should be counted.
Also, during non-busy times for that region, large bandwidth use shouldn't be counted, seeing as it isn't disadvantaging anyone.
There should be no "hard line" between free bandwidth and 1$ per mB bandwidth. The users average bandwidth usage per month should be used in calculating their monthly rate, and they should pay for the next month based on their projected usage.
I once had an ISP that had a monthly cap, it was awful. My two cents (how much they charged per mb over the 2gb/month) on the matter.
...to use a little bit less RAM, things would be dandy.
Also, does anyone else experience lag when switching tabs? I've noticed that with some gtk2 engines that tab switching time goes up significantly, specifically murrine. Even with a basic theme I get a little bit of lag on my core2duo system with 4GB RAM, its very strange (and frustrating, I can't stand the little bits of lag between switching tabs).
...Mac users will have no trouble chatting with their computer for 5 minutes. Think of how accurate the system will be if the users got into a heated debate!
I doubt even thousands of random murders would cause as much monetary damage in lost sales to the American movie/music industry as this pirate bay thing. I guess it would depend on how many of the murderees were involved with the pirate bay thing.

Thats great if they machines are identical with the exact same libraries and headers. Almost every machine will have a different version of something, your binary will be slightly different.
I know, I have "Bad" karma lately, I've been making all these funny, interesting, and generally awesome posts, yet my Karma hasn't improved. I just don't understand it!

It also means that when your sleeping and their up downloading, they still get penalized.
That would be ideal, but if they have to throttle it then they should improve it over the hard cap.

Its not that shady, security by obscurity was never good for anyone. Its not even secure at all.

All we need to do is use some of the energy to get to 88mph, and divert the rest into the flux capacitor.

Read the summary? Surely you jest!
Will you buy me Maya then please?
...think about it.
...how popular you'll be when you show everyone your glowing...appendage...at the party!
because if we're living in the VR sim then how can we possibly store a copy of the sim within the sim...I think it would cause a buffer overrun.

Sounds like the script to a bad porno!
The answer to that question should seem obvious.

I don't think they should have stolen his Trix. I think they should have shared. I cried.

Why would they give up, their still getting paid.
