The problem is here, that we can't think down to the low enough level. I've known the average user is an idiot for some time, but when someone asked me how to use a USB flash drive, as they couldn't find it, I realised how much I'd overestimated people who are idiots (on the subject, not saying they have to be idiots in general) - for me, It's second nature to go to the places menu, or in their case, My Computer under Windows, it's reflex, not even just something I presume people know, it's that I never realised anyone didn't know it.
If you have a good trading history with a company, that implies you are more likely to get more contracts/sales with them. It's not tangible, but it's a real thing none-the-less.
I'll believe it when I see it. BT havn't done a damn thing for me in my lifetime. Well, my exchange should get ADSL2+ in March, that said, with my line attenuation, it won't make much of a difference.
Shit happens. Yes, it sucks, but it happens. Now, should we try to blow up the googleplex? No. Google are not blocking based on a secret agenda here, and you can bypass it or turn off the feature. OK, it'd be nice if you could choose who provides the service, but overall, it's not that big a deal.
Interestingly, Sky actually don't do this, if you check their pages, it says Unlimeted* - and it actually has *No Fair Usage Policy Applies at the bototm of the page. That said, you have to be within their network to get that deal. (I, for one, am not.) That said, they are about the only ISP that doesn't. It's criminal.
That's ironic, as the GPL specifically states you can use the software without agreeing to the GPL, it's only distributing where it applies, if I remember correctly.
As an Opera user, a fresh install of firefox without extensions actually isn't that bad, and I'm having real stability problems with Opera at the moment (Arch Linux x64).
Here in Lincolnshire, UK, we are in another flood-zone - all below sea level. Recently, when the area was flooded, we were paying for people who have no house insurance and got flooded. My question is, why the hell should I be paying for insurance, when people who don't just get me to pay it with my taxes instead?
It's the attitude the media (press) has. We see court cases all the time, profiling the defendant. If they get convicted, they put even more coverage on - but if they don't, they just drop the story, it never gets advertised that the person was innocent.
Not only that, but the way the press (or at least, the BBC and newspapers I see) seem to broadcast without the innocent until proven guilty attitude. I mean, they don't ever say the defendant is guilty, but they do seem to gloss over the fact they could be innocent too.
Everyone presumes that where there is smoke, there is fire, and a truly feel sorry for an innocent man who is tried and found innocent for rape or child abuse or something - I've seen the attitudes people hold, even against someone who has been proven innocent - most of the time just because they didn't know that they had been proven innocent.

/me nods.

Actually, I tried this last week, turns out he turned into a communist and dropped the religion thing. So, you, sir, are incorrect.

Duh, they are talking about the value of the source code, try getting your hands on that!
So, you are saying everyone using more than 128k is a pirate?
Yeah. I don't agree.
The UK really is becoming the police state I was so scared it would become. I'll be moving away as soon as I can, I think.
overflow is what you are looking for, I believe.

Do you actually believe they'd do something good for their customers?
Our lines are way behind, and we don't even have the excuse of the low-density population the US does.
The UK is by far behind when it comes to this kind of thing, and it's only getting worse.

If I was being sued for it, I'd at least want to be sued for pirating a good game, blimey.
Why the heck does anyone even like chrome? It's got no features above any other browser. I'd rather use Epiphany or whatever.

For that price, just buy a Logitech G15. I have one and there are drivers and a variety of software.
Interestingly, Ubisoft released a Rainbow 6 Vegas patch that turned out to be a crack renamed.

Someone sorted by price, highest first. They should feel proud.

Well, I botched the funny mod on that one.
Except line quality and distance from the exchange means ADSL Max (Up to 8MB) is 2MB or less for most people.
He is lucky, you are unlucky.
