  2. Re:How about the first MP3 CD Player? on Tenth Anniversary of First Commercial MP3 Player · · Score: -1

    I had one of those until it was stolen... as i recall CDRW's worked, but only certain brands due to the colour of the substrate. It seems to me that Sony cdrws worked pretty good. I can beat you on the price tho, I got mine off ebay for $75 canadian, on November 19-00 to be exact (:

    More importantly, if steam has the game, but you bought the physical media, then you can register it on steam, and viola download it the next time you need to install it. All you have to do is put your CD key in, it checks that its valid, and you're good to go. Then you can shove all your media in a box in your cupboard.

  24. Re:They still don't give the exact byte download on Comcast Slightly Clarifies High Speed Extreme Use Policy · · Score: 1

    Even though they state the limit up here in canada, they don't always enforce it. :)


    The provider I am with (Cogeco) for 10MB service, gives us "100GB up/down" combined. In actual practice, they have never enforced this limit, and don't even issue warning letters, unless the RIAA/MPAA sends one, then they just anonymously forward it to the customer without telling the RIAA/MPAA who it was. While 100GB seems like a lot, it depends on who you have living in the house. With 4 people in their mid 20's here, with a total of 4 laptops, 3 towers, 2 servers, Xbox360 PS3 & Wii, 4 DS's & a wifi PDA, we get our money's worth. There are months when we go over a TB of up/down traffic easily. Now, before you freak out and say that is impossible on cable, consider 1TB @10Mb of continuous transfer would only be 10days, 4 hours, 20 minutes & 9 seconds of usage - less than 1/3 of the month.
    http://www.t1shopper.com/tools/calculate/downloadcalculator.shtml

    Even if you took into account non continuous usage combined with overhead and rounded that number up by an extreme 50%, you could still pass 2TB of traffic a month on cable...

    The closest I have gotten to this was 57 days of usage (tracked thru the wan port of my router, between restarts) at 3.2TB.

    And no, that doesn't mean I'm stealing every movie known to man. We just watch a lot of streaming stuff, like divx.com & download a lot of game demos.
