I have many times subscribed to website newsletters and RSS feeds, but as the parent stated, I usually say "eh, I'll read that later" and often times never get around to it. Since it is digital, and takes up an insignificant space on my computer or gmail account, I don't care if it goes unread. With printed magazines, I see it sitting on the table every time I walk by, and am constantly asked by my wife to read the magazine so she can throw it out, so I tend to read them sooner. I also like to read them while taking my daily #2, and to me, reading a tablet while on the john just seems wrong.

What I would like to know, is are they going to provide their users with 10 Gigabit hardware (and limit to 2 Gbps), or are they going to run two 1 Gbps fibers and do load sharing, or are they going to give them an OC-48 (2.48 Gbps), because there is no current technology that can do just 2Gbps.

Most companies grow by getting investors, which are usually investment firms. Crowdfunding is getting a lot of people to pay in small amounts.

The majority of all spam comes from home computers infected with a worm that makes it part of a botnet. The fact that some mail servers can slow down the sending of mail is not the solution. If ISPs were to block all SMTP connections from their DSL/cable customers, that would put a huge dent in the amount of spam. Most people get their email through some sort of webmail based system so there is really no need for people to be sending legitimate emails via SMTP. And for the ones that like to have their Thunderbird or Outlook express send their email, there is probably a way that you can make the client get the email through the web system the same as the way Outlook can be retrieved over SSL. Block users from sending SMTP and you block most of the spam on the Internet.

If you read Bill Gates' original prediction, he said that spam would be killed through the electronic equivalent of a stamp, also known as "payment at risk". This means that if an email gets marked as spam, then the sender will be billed for a cost whenever they send a spam email. He didn't say that users would not have to deal with spam, he said that spam would simply not exist altogether. This most certainly did not happen, so he was completely wrong in his prediction.

I used to be a blacksmith too, but then I switched to jewelcrafting.

With an upload of course!

Because they can look up the license plate to see who the registered owner is.

So what do you do about your WiFi enabled phone, or Xbox or PS3 or any device that doesn't have a CDROM drive or text editor to read and copy that file?

As he said, once they thaw you put them back outside to freeze again. But even if you didn't, it would actually still be ok to leave them in since a refrigerator is more efficient with more things inside than with less. This is because there is less air that needs to be cooled when the door is opened and all the cold air escapes.

What they know about you is only what you tell them.

As long as the free whores are written into a contract that we both agree to, then yes I'll buy your house. Don't complain when the company adheres to the legal agreement that you agreed to (and supposedly read) when you signed up for the service.

I don't think he was talking about being able to get as much water as you want for the same price, but the amount of water that is available at any one time. If every single household in a neighborhood turned on all their water faucets at the same time, there would not be enough water for them all. That is oversubscription.

Even though you said you did, apparently you did not read their terms of service...

They were perfectly legal in asking you to stop your high usage because you agreed to that TOS.

It's available to everyone willing to pay additional money for the armor. If I don't want to pay more money than the monthly subscription, then I am not able to get the better gear, and am at a disadvantage.
