Well, yeah. I am new here (to this country) :). What are these secret hidden limits though? In Aus, the limit is low but clearly marked. The limit is often split over peak and off-peak periods too. So for example, you might have 25gb to use during on-peak and say 30gb to use during off-peak. Off-peak is usually from about 1am to 7am (certainly not half the day) so you've really only got 25gb to use unless you leave your pc on overnight downloading or whatever. I haven't been here long but I haven't run into any limits yet although to be honest I'm not a heavy downloader.

I just recently moved from Australia to the UK and that's one of the interesting things I noticed. In the UK you pay for the speed of your connection rather than how much you can download. So as others are saying, the 10Mb is referring to a 10Mbit connection speed. You can download as much as you want.

In Australia, the speed is basically always "ADSL2+" which means a theoretical maximum of about 20Mbit but in practice is highly dependant on how far away you live from the telephone exchange and the quality of the lines in your house etc. I never got speeds anything like 20Mbit and I lived close to the center of town in Melbourne (~3.5mil population). When you go over your download limit (typically 10-50gb), the speed is "shaped" or "capped" to something near dialup modem speeds.

v6 uses a 128 bit number for the address (instead of 32). 2^128 is a shit load of addresses.

This reminds me of my little sister's Christmas wishlist she left on our parent's fridge. One of the items reads "Kitten OR IPod Touch".

I agree, genetically engineered silkworms *are* cool.

Sorry for the useless bug report. The exact problem is that when the ball hit's either the opponent's paddle or yours a message box appears reading "INVALID_STATE_ERR: DOM Exception 11". That's probably not very helpful but whatever. I've never done any serious Javascript programming, just the odd bits here and there to fancy up a website. I'm .NET to pay the bills.

Do you have a point?

If this would mean that no further prosecution of end users would be allowed then this may not be such a bad idea. The levy would be passed on to consumers making our connections slightly more expensive but I'd pay more money to not be hassled about file sharing.

Just tried the android app on my N1 while bored at work. Very nice.

The javascript version didn't very well for me (Chrome 5.0.375.99, Windows)

If they are at an airport, perhaps they've come from a country like Australia where we drive on the left side of the road and subsequently stand on the left side of escalators and overtake on the right.

The government should pay. I'd happily pay slightly more tax for the service.

Or the ability to resize a window without just seeing it's border unless you can put up with it lagging and stuttering.
