If that is a part of the law, it should be changed so the judge has to at least check to see if there's some minimal evidence against the defendant. I mean, if 100 people filed 100 made-up lawsuits against someone, shouldn't the judge(s) at least check to make sure if there's at least some basic evidence before forcing an innocent party to respond or be considered guilty by default if they don't respond to all of them?

I always thought it was weird that they made us use APVector and APString instead of regular Vectors and Strings. Was it just so College Board could feel better about themselves?

This. Also, most computers have text-to-speech. Many scanners can identify letters. BAN TEXT-TO-SPEECH IN COMPUTERS!

What? Where have I bitched about such a thing? You explicitly stated that there would be a problem with someone making unlimited use of an unlimited service here:

and I was pointing out that such a company should not have advertised unlimited usage if it did not intend to deliver such.

Although I don't recall making any Slashdot posts on the subject, the complaint about Comcast was that they previously did NOT disclose their caps. While bandwidth caps may be annoying, there's nothing unethical about them unless the company misrepresented what was being sold.

Except if they paid $400/month for unlimited use at a specific rate, and then used it all, then they used $400 worth of [bandwidth/electricity]. If they did not want people to use their [bandwidth/electricity], they should not have advertised and sold their service as unlimited.

Incidentally, as stated in the article:

the ISP is not complaining at all.

I agree, although I've found the nav systems in other people's cars helpful sometimes.

What I want out of a car is a complete lack of beeping. If I lock all the doors while one door is open, that's because I wanted to. If I turn on the car before I put my seat belt on, that's my prerogative. If I open the driver's seat with the keys in the ignition, I don't need to be beeped at. Maybe I just want to get some gas without putting my keys in my pocket!

I thought all the Bond films (barring the recent atrocities with Daniel Craig) were tongue-in-cheek. That was the whole reason they were so enjoyable.

In this case, it's more like an algorithm than a bunch of programmers. And finding missing persons is an embarrassingly parallel problem.

OK, but is this on a homebuilt PC or on a pre-sold Dell? I would imagine Dell would install the proper drivers to get it to work properly.

Well, OnLive alone probably won't, but it's just one of many new legitimate streaming services, including Hulu, iTunes movie rentals, High Def YouTube, NetFlix streaming, and streaming sports games, that will increase the bandwidth demands of regular users. This could hopefully bring about improved Internet service, when it's the regular users, not just us, who are complaining.

This is why I support them. I have no interest in the platform for myself, for similar reasons to many of the other /.ers, but if OnLive take off, then ISPs will have to increase their capacity to keep up with their demands.

Yes, Icosahydrogen always gets a bad rap from people who don't understand chemistry!

Well, look at the bright side!

This is the greatest possible improvement to YouTube short of removing the comments section entirely.

Yeah, I get 10Mbps with Charter. I think they might offer a 1Mbps service, but who would pay for 1 Mbps cable internet and how is the average under that? Most people I know living around here get the 5 Mbps service.
