I would certainly say yes. They're using your bandwidth to serve another one of their customers, for free, without compensating you in any way. Whereas loading a 150MB image from their server is using their bandwidth (that they're

Not just that, but why wouldn't ads start using your bandwith for this sort of thing ? Do you get a legal claim for your bandwith costs (especially on mobile) against the site owner for doing this without your permission ? Do you get a

It's actually just the reverse of what the title makes you think. 1) Windows 7&8 will work on new processors, just like windows XP and 1.0 will. They just won't be updated to use, say, a new instruction set. 2) Windows 10 will

It's not just that. If you did things yourself on dedicated hosting (which would save you 70-80% of your bill) you'd have more options. You'd have much more bandwidth, much more cpu, much more disk for the same price. Of cour

It that's true, it would be trivial to design a survey to get whatever sexual assault statistics that you want. Even after the survey has been taken, by having questions ambiguous, and then reclassify them as either sexual assault or n

So I do see a number of advantages : 1) transforms all RAM into ECC RAM 2) consumers may not care, but large server cpu customers certainly will see it as a bonus, some will see it as required. Of course, this won't protect against the

There's a second effect. Companies that are near 100% indebted (and a dropping oil price will seriously lower their expected value, therefore getting them far closer to their debt limits even if they don't actually loan anything).

Maybe I'm reading this wrong. But most of the criticisms apply to several other languages that are generally not considered to suck. Generally the criticisms leveled here are that C++ is too low level. But if that's the problem, m
