Depends on the ratio. If they get 1g downstream but only 128k up than you are correct. If the current ratios maintain you will see more abuse. I am all for every man, women and child having cheap reliable access to the Internet.

No, no its not. I am not saying people shouldn't have 1g connections. My point is the majority of these users will have no idea how to handle it..like giving the keys to your Ferrari to a 16 year old. If everybody had this type of access

I like and use zendesk. It is worth checking out with the free trial. The only thing I don't like about it is the code used on the page cannot be optimized in the manner I would like. It really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of thing

That was my thought but a 500GB hard drive in a notebook fills up fast when you have 40g - 100g virtual machines. I was counting on technology to "fix" an organization issue. Now I just have a lot more of the same issue.

As a yerba mate drinker for years I am excited to see some support for the farmers. I am afraid that companies like this bastardize the real thing and dilute it's significance in the minds of the (north)American mind.
