I have been living in upstate Jersey for about a year now. I have seen Cablevision frantically try and upgrade their systems to compete with the invading FIOS. My speeds on Cablevision tests at about 13Mb/1.8Mb which is close to their advertized 15Mb/2Mb. So not bad.
But, they have throttled me 3 times and have told me next time they will either not release the throttle or terminate my account. They have told me the throttle is a function of the processor load on the managed switch over time (wtf?). So I have to be very careful now. I have been referred to a section in the contract I was forced to agree to that states something very vague along the lines of "Cablevision reserves the right to do anything we want".
That sounds like a comment straight out of the piracy community. Companies are looking to reduce their overhead, not eliminate it. Just getting a relief of half of the download would save enormous bandwidth.
Also incorporating an open-source tool such as this, you can modify how the algorithms work. An example is the BitComet client. It has been accused of cheating on the algorithm, working around queuing, and the way it uses DHT.
This may be bad for the piracy community, but it is an example of how client companies could modify their software to require a ratio if nessessary.
Please correct me if any of my thoughts here are bogus.
You speak as if time actually exists. It seems more that time is an illusion and relative to us conceiving what we experiance. *shrug*.. Who cares, still means I have to go to work in half an hour.
IIRC, there have been lots of articles talking about industry-wide price fixing of SRAM. Many companies actually admitted to doing so, especially in the late 90's. Just glance at the related stories.
My mother is into bobbinlace, lace, tatting, etc. These programs that are used to design these can be very profitable. She uses hers mostly for charity, but they are very effective and rather esoteric.
With the amount of older people becoming familiar with the Internet and these types of programs becoming more well-known, the once extremely over-profitable niche market, is being balanced out by the Internet as well.
I'm amazed every time I see a new alienware product. The only other products coming close are VooDooPC. Problem is that Voodoo's laptops are TWICE the weight at a hefty 13-16 lbs and you get less( apart from the 19" screen.)!

You know you waste your life on an MMO when ...

Hah .. might as well carry around the TMNT Pizza Thrower, just loaded with your micro discs instead ;)
I have a hard enough time keeping track of my cd's ... as if I won't lose something the size of a quarter.
What happened to ITER? What happened to JET?
If we are lucky the chinese will blow a hole in that side of the planet and take the heat of the US.
