Sorry, but just because your clever overselling strategy backfired, i.e. people are actually starting to USE the service they pay for, doesn't mean you can throttle us down.
We will cancel our contracts, boycott, tell our friends. I've already left one ISP for this sort of behaviour, and I almost left my current until I got them to provide me with a new contract.
The only thing inevitable here is internet usage is going to keep growing, and you business-folk are going to have to accomodate us. If you can't provide what we pay for, we won't pay for it.
You might wonder why, then, for all it's touted 'vote with your wallet' mentality, capitalism rarely fails to drive shitty businesses offering shitty products with shitty customer service into the ground.
And for all that people complain, they'll keep eating big macs, keep buying tshirts and groceries from wal-mart, and keep dealing with high-budget low-quality films in theatres.

I am also sick of hearing this term when it took me, my mom, my sisters, and so on practically no time getting used to linux. Windows isn't too terribly useful to computer illiterates either!
I wonder how hard it would be to deny Tom, Dick and Harry your token, and if it would be any easier than denying them your SSN. Obviously, you have no legal requirement to give your SSN. But everyone uses it to identify you in their databases anyway.
Local (small town) theatre, carmike cinemas:
tiny, uncomfortable, dirty, poor picture quality
nearest big city theatre (AMC theatres):
large screen, clean/comfortable seats, good picture and sound quality.
To other posters points: You can't cater volume level to everyone, and it has to be loud enough to seem 'immersive'. Only once or twice have I found a movie theatre to be too loud. I DO get ripped off on concessions, but I do not get ripped off on tickets. $6 for the matinee, which is my usual movie viewing time.
Now, as to whether I'll still go after I get a projection screen to go with my HTPC? Who knows.
or run your own mail server with exim, courier, and squirrelmail! web mail with as much storage space as you've got hdd space, and spam filters you control yourself.
This brings up the fact that continues to scare me -- people must really want their penises enlarged.
I mean, to a certain extent, spamming takes no effort. But if they really weren't getting returns, they'd eventually stop. Frightening!
Vista is, by all benchmarks, very slow if you enable any of the touted graphical features.
On the other hand, I love such features so I use fluxbox on debian + novell's new XGL system. On a P3 and a P2, and neither have more than 128MB RAM. They run lightning fast. My editor pops open in under a second.
Windows, for whatever reason, runs much slower on average. I administer hundreds of windows machines, so trust me on this one.
There's always one of you outspoken capitalists here when we decry greed, corruption, or outright thieving.
Some playwrights, musicians, and actors are in it for the performance, the presentation, the entertainment, the fans, and the fun. Not every act has monetary gain as it's purpose!

Didn't we *have* ultra fast intercontinental air travel?
Somehow I seem to remember that already happening.

To be fair, hitman really *is* a murder fantasy/sim.
Don't really catch the rape reference, though.

You mean to tell me democracy works where you live?
I'm self-employed, you insensitive clod!

tall girls are awesome.
I am o-k with the destruction of all cockroaches, everywhere.
Ah but I think all of those things are 'necessities' anyhow.

"...that I am not familiar with..."
:P
And here I thought the whole point of phishing was to seem to be a site you are familiar with

What Pastors have you met? All the pastors I've met have been meddlesome assholes. And yes, their daughters were whores.

Does this make the article a dupe?
Not even a little bit.
Yes, that's right. I sudo a *lot*, and install a lot. Luckily this is a testing machine!

You shouldn't look at things from such a far-away perspective. Even human life is puny from that height.
