A limit always existed on speed (and consequently bandwidth) -- it's just that now they're proposing to apply that limit more equitably.

What do you mean by 'the direct implication'? GP said you can schedule game updates for the 1/3 of each day that you're not metered. P incorrectly translated that to 'when you buy a game you have to wait a day to pl

Microsoft Windows is abysmal on this front - I have to use Microsoft Windows 10 periodically, while most of my life is spent in KDE, and the disjoint is jarring. In KDE I can precisely control and set window border thickness and colour. I

I accept that fiat money is entirely supported by the notion of perpetual growth, but in the abstract it's hard to come to terms with the idea our society is so fundamentally committed to, and reliant upon, growth .

I may have misunderstood one or both of your numerical dismissals, then. As I read it, your first post suggested this was a blip, similar to some subset of the 8000 people in a village that thought they had increased cancer risk from a fiss
