I'm paying $100 for 50 mbps but it's capped at 400 gig per month, I can use my maximum bandwidth for under 19 hours before having my internet shut off. They give me the speed but really don't let me utilize except for short bursts. I'd rather take half that speed for double the bandwidth, but then you're able to stream HD way more and with that many more people would cancel cable tv to just utilize netflix, amazon and hulu.
Currently Netflix allows multiple streams going at the same time based off how many DVDs you sign up for at a time. If you pay for 3 DVDs out at a time, you can have 3 streams going simultaneously. I don't believe Netflix believes someone is watching 3 streams at one time.
They're private tweets, the only way someone will get that info is by hacking your twitter account. Your bank account isn't ever known, that's tied into your twitter name on the banks system. Make a special private twitter account that doesn't have any personal info at all on it, if it gets hacked nobody knows who's it is, you create another twitter account and go to the bank to switch it over. It's just an easy way to get your info without having to be on the internet, just sms a message and get it sent back to your phone in seconds.
They also let you do transfers. Which was in TFS if you bothered to read it. You can do this without sending account numbers (just use account suffixes) but what happens when your twitter account gets hacked and someone transfers all of your money from your checking suffix to your savings? Say hello to overdraft fees.
If your twitter account gets hacked you just call up the bank and disable the twitter feature till you get the problem fixed or a new account?
Yeah, how dare people pay money to learn to play their hobbies better... Much like golf, tennis, knitting, painting or whatever else floats your boat. This disposable income that you talk about is no more then what alot of people who pay in gas for a week(35-70) or the cost of a week of daycare for their child(110-130).
Does it really matter what you spend your money on as long as you're enjoying it and it isn't harming you or others? Some people just enjoy playing video games more then watching the same rehashed TV shows. I've never taken lessons but I sure wouldn't belittle someone that did.
So, going with this "free lunch" topic... Would this also mean that if I pay for Unlimited Long Distance, and I happen to call Uncle Jimbo for hours on end per night, will they start contacting Uncle Jimbo about how he is getting a free ride and he needs to pay for using their phone line?
Buying HL2 via steam you never have the chance to put in a fake CD Key. If you buy the game, someone could lend his or her cd around and let people try to guess cdkeys till they work... and not everyone has good enough cd copying software to make multiple copies of the software.
Replies from a website where people want more options in Operating Systems, but they bitch about more options from hardware, just makes me wonder if people just want to bitch.
Am I missing something? Burn to CD then rip to mp3, what's wrong with just going to the burning panel in iTunes and selecting MP3 as the CD format to burn? Are people not looking at the options or is the mp3 format just really low quality?
Opera has that plus bookmark shortcuts that allows you to type the shortcut name in for the address and get to that specified bookmark, very handy and you don't have to screw around with the bookmark folders anymore.
It's pretty close to being as nice as Opera, but the shortcuts for bookmarks are really nice, I enjoy writting BOB in the url and getting to my friends site, or typing crap and I show up at microsoft.com. To my knowledge none of the other webbrowsers do this.... A simple feature that just makes browsing so much easyer, no more running thru the bookmarks to get what I want....
Opera has a few features that I think that sets it apart from the other browsers(I may be wrong though...).
Mouse Gestures... I sometimes get tired of having to go hit the back button, the forward button and so on and so on... I can hold the Right Mouse Button and then hit the Left Button and I go back, I do the opposite to go forward. I can go over a link, right click and pull downward and it opens the link in a new window.
The Bookmark Shortcuts... You can give a bookmark a shortcut name so now, instead of going into bookmarks, you could just put your shortcut name for the url.
These are 2 features I'm amazed that no one else has done yet and something that I think sets Opera apart from the rest.
You may not get anything from insurance... cough cough... but I think if the person who took the car is caught they're still prosecuted against.
The WHOLE problem is exactly what you said... not only are you suppose to buy the car, you're suppose to PROTECT it. Shouldn't it be enough to actually OWN it? In a perfect world... yeah... but our judicial system sucks... after spending some time over in Saudi Arabia, where if you steal you lose body parts... the risk of stealing is too great, here you get the slap on your hand. You don't know how amazed I was to walk the streets in Saudi Arabia and have gold out in the open on tables with the owners not even worried that it could be stolen... that's the way it should be... stricker laws only hurt the ones who are breaking them.
What? That's like saying... she was wearing a short skirt, she had that rape coming...
And the thing of leaving the door open.. you could also say... we'll you didn't have enough security on that door, you only had 5 padlocks on it... that's easy enough for a burgular/hacker to get thru.
The thing is this... it isn't their property... so they shouldn't be messing with other people's stuff.
Hell, if we went with your logic... I could train a monkey to just go and open unlocked windows... steal everything and it's all fine because the window wasn't locked.
Damn... no matter what.. IT ISN'T THEIR PROPERTY... NO IFs ANDs or BUTTs!
Is that after the first couple of days... FUNCOM deemed it not playable... therefore they stopped the 1st month's subscription(which is included in the price of the product) till they said the game was 110% playable... this was basicly a press release from their OFFICIAL site.
Funny thing is... and you'll like this... FUNCOM deemed the game playable, started the first month subscription AND TOOK DOWN THE PRESS RELEASE that said they wouldn't start the first month subscription till deemed 110% playable.
Now as this is funny from the outside... it's not funny when you just shelled out 50 bucks for the game and the first month(which if you cancel your out 50 bucks) and here's the kicker... THERE ISN'T A WAY TO CANCEL(STILL)... and until a week after the game was out... you had to subscribe with a valid credit card thru their website... which wasn't secure(another minor oversight).
When you go into a store to buy a game, you usually expect it to atleast work if you meet the requirements on the box.
So I guess FUNCOM has gone against the grain... instead of paying or allowing free play for it's beta testers, they're now accepting $50 and 12.95 a month for you to test their product... without saying it's a beta...

Every few months my local station decides to play certain songs every damn hour. SUE THEM, that's too often. I can't handle hearing "WHO LET THE DAMN DOGS OUT" 30 times a day on the same station. What about the top songs list where listeners get to vote for the songs they hear, isn't that kind of the same thing?
What's to stop a Bill Gates from just getting every single patent avialble for the net? Bill could OWN the internet? Does Amazon understand that many websites live by 'Affiliate Programs'. By cutting this off they possibly could cut down on the number of websites out there. With the trend of patenting coding, could this be the beginning of the end of the internet?

Netflix is going to offer "family" plans. But they have said that people paying for current higher plans can watch multiple streams simultaneously. http://www.geek.com/articles/news/netflix-to-introduce-family-plans-for-multi-user-streaming-20110421/

And along those lines... why linux when we have windows!
Why does gaming = not being an adult? Just wondering...
