I monitor my usage (and my roommates because I can. they don't care). We have Verizon DSL (why we can't get FIOS being right next door literally to their switching station I have no idea) We have 3 PCs running games atleast 9 hours a day 3 other PCs connected to work and uploading/downloading files for work (we are all IT workers) and I have a streaming media server. What do I stream? Mostly my own stuff for when I am not at home so I can travel light. We easily use 100GB per month and that is without my streaming media server. If Verizon told us we had to pay overages they would find an issue with their local switching station using too much bandwidth. I wonder if they realize they have an open wireless AP there. Free wireless for the neighborhood! Goverment also subsidises them (and all other telcove/broadband providers) so tha tthey have a lower cost to push this stuff out. They run on older equipments that can't handle today's need. This is why they throttle and put caps.
not that I am taking sides, but it was also stated in another article on Fox News until they "updated" stating that the count is right, however the number of votes and the number of people at the polls didn't match up.
Try and tell this when ever the president gets on Airforce one. Last I heard there are about 105 people onboard at any given time.
What about airline flights? isn't it bad enough we can pictured naked and groped just to go see our loved ones?
Well, you are also missing the fact that...I paid for this bandwidth I am using so why can't I use it?
its more of, you bought a bike because you like to take bike rides, but the purchase of the bike was only part of the deal. if you use the bike in Boston, it will cost you $.75/mile to ride it. If Manchester, NH, its $1.34/mile. Also, you will need to pay a destination fee because its being transported to these places. Oh, you want AIR in those tires? That is a flat fee of $3.85 a day, but in that day you can use the air in those tires all you want as long as you leave it in the tires.

Technically they didn't own the rights. a contract was made to buy the rights, the rights were handed over but no money was paid cept by the loaning company. Therefore, minus the cost of lawyer fees (assuming the loan company continued with the lawsuits) camelot would have no claims what so ever to any infringement. They literally invested almost nothing to gain absolutely everything. Their entire business model is a fraud.
The location was indeed announced...get off his back...
It was posted to a very popular site which was quickly taken down and replaced with a warning that ICE took it down because there was an illegal font used in the announcement. Later that day Obama got his award and thanked ICE for doing such a good job for the big labels and "protecting" the true Americans...
It was announced today that Darkhelmet has accepted his nomination for the Pirate Party's candidate for the next American Idol. his running mate will be Angelina Jolie.
I know with the redhat servers we have, we don't pay for the software, just for the support. Larger businesses, assuming like us, would pay more for support that the windows OS itself, but add in support and BAM
Or, the truckers give in and ahve their radios removed from their trucks, then refuse to make deliveries to anyone dealing with them...could make it hard to get supplies...
Ok, so going by this extreme, why bother with WiFI and just hack the content provider's system where the originals are stored because anyone can hack anything.
Perhaps for a moment, try and think of this rationally and not as a "BASHBASHBASHBASH MIKE" senerio, you might realize the two items are very different.
Sure, if an AP is unsecured, anyone can get on and pirate things. Even if an AP is secured, it can be broken into. When you add in the password and encryption into the deal not every joe shmoe is gonna have access to it. Those that do gain access either have permission or are up to something nefarious and are quite smarter than the home user and wouldn't care to break into their system to watch...TV... Seriously, did you get your education from a crackerjacks box or fruitloops?
Technically, TimeWarner has also licensed it. They have a right to broadcast the stations perhaps not over the internet specifically but they have the right. for all we know the license might not even state the medium of which said stations can be broadcast on.
