It's obviously not an ideal situation, but I'm just pointing out (like the person I originally replied to who suggested a business connection [which is more expensive and slower]) that there are ways to work around these restrictions.

Does it matter if they don't? I'm sure you can find clauses in most ISP contracts that enable them to terminate you more or less at will, it doesn't matter much if they don't enforce them.

Or just pay for one of the higher speed options. I've gone over the bandwidth cap without fail every month, and they don't care since I pay for the higher speed option (previously the 50Mbit line, now the 105.)

Apples to oranges. Treyarch at the time was little more than a studio that handled farmed out jobs to translate existing games to other consoles. I don't think they made any original games other than Die by the Sword at the time of acquis

I still have a hotmail account that I check periodically, and while it may be ok in IE, it's a terrible experience in Chrome. All the AJAX interface is really slow to the point where you can easily end up deleting messages that aren't even

What's the point of this? I don't understand, why would I ever want a notification in the address bar that a G+1 link exists on the page?

You're right, javascript should be required to browse the web, not just a blog entry.

Yeah, I ran into the same thing. There was no way to force it to no longer be valid, even creating a new forgot PW request left the old link active.

Why even have a vesting structure in this case? Why not just vest all shares on day 1 with the expectation that the company will just take them all back if you quit? Is the vesting structure strictly in place to disguise the fact that the

That doesn't work when most hardcore Eve players aren't paying for it in cash, they pay for their subscription with in game currency.

We hope to help solve at least the backup component of this at: http://lockerproject.org/ . This just helps reinforce, in our eyes, that we need to push hard to get this in front of people as soon as possible.

Sure, the point is that either way (either by compulsively buying things, or needing to purge down to the absolute bare necessities) you're allowing consumer goods to control you. Those of us who don't feel consumed by goods would gain not

Articles like this make me really happy I am who I am. The fact that you need to sell most of your belongings and turn your apartment into a barren wasteland to be happy is no better than feeling like you need to buy things to be happy.

I don't understand why Drew doesn't either make these posts or find a PR person to filter Arash's comments through. Arash never comes off well in these blog posts or in his comments here surrounding these issues. His comments always come o

No? I'd say a high of $24 and a low of $16.10 over the last 48 hours most assuredly qualifies as 'fluctuating like crazy.'

Considering that slide could be used verbatim in a Turntable.fm deck (which, btw, is an absolutely amazing product) I'd argue that this is post is doing it wrong. EDIT: After looking at the actual presentation, http://www.slideshare.net/v

Well, then they clearly have better support than service. The one apartment I've lived in that wasn't Comcast wired I suffered through a year of miserable latency, packet loss, and unimpressive speeds via Sonic DSL. Personally, I'll trade

It's amusing to me that the second thing she had him do was sing in front of a crowd. I essentially did the same thing, using karaoke to shed social anxiety. While I certainly wasn't at the level of this guy to begin with, I can guarantee

While I'm just speculating since this doesn't seem like the type of thing I really want to give my Facebook credentials to, it seems that it wouldn't be especially anonymous if the people who are 'dueling' don't have a lot of mutual friends

The goal of internet drama is to make the instigator and everyone they know laugh at what they've done. The initial 'poke' will generate some of that, but a 'successful' attack will generate days of discussion that 'everyone' laughs at. I

More likely, they've accepted that this is the best their lives are going to amount to. They're never going to create anything of value so the only way to 'earn' their riches is via litigation.
