Ars Technica has a very nice response to this: http://arst.ch/722
Actually, it's more than 500ms latency... more like 750ms+ by the time you're done with additional layers of routing/optimization software, on top of that trip from earth to space and back.
And when the locals of all sorts (Verizon, Comcast, etc) refuse you any sort of land-based connection, this is one of the few options (the other being cellular modem, which has its own set of problems and availability issues).
I've read the background. It literally shows that they would get into fights, with their 12 year old daughter, because she'd go on the computer after being told she couldn't...time after time after time. They REFUSED to be parents and simply stood back as she did whatever the fuck she wanted.
Can you show where you found that information? That's not what I've read concerning it. What I've read is, she was supervised online, except for the day the messages started coming, and that in fact, the parents had been monitoring her use (even reading the "boy's" profile and messages) up to that point.

I've read lots of blog comments claiming she was unsupervised/running wild, etc., but I haven't read anything from a reputable source to that affect.
LOL... maybe Firefox should include a "Does that sound dirty"-checker in addition to the spellchecker...
Games don't scale to 6 cores. At all. In fact, most desktop applications have a hard time scaling to 6 cores, even ones that can do 4 or 8 cores.
Wow! 15 films in 20 years. And some of them aren't just cult classics! Perhaps it's time for me to reassess the creative potential of the corporation.
However, with marketing -- you can send any number of suit-monkeys out to cut deals with drink manufacturers, t-shirt companies, magazines.. etc. All without detracting from the potential quality of your final product.
Your argument might be more convincing to me if I weren't familiar with EA's products and their quality, or rather, the lack therof.
What EA actually does is more like having a woman make a baby in a month, removes the baby after that month, and the 8 other women put makeup on it to try to detract from the fact that it is a disgusting abomination. The marketing is to convince people it's a baby instead of an embryo. Then they do the same thing next month.
Will Old Glory Insurance provide a policy for this new menace?

Excuse my ignorance here but: if a bit is 2^1 and a byte is 2^3 then doesn't the whole kilobit kilobytes thing get even more borked up?
Since a kilobit = 2^10 bits while a kilobyte is 2^10 in base 2^3?

Ack no!
If you are downloading a distro, and at the same time you place a VoIP phone call, what do you do if the audio is all broken up? Do you pause the torrent client to get better phone service?
Yes, you pause the torrent - it's your bandwidth; you paid for it.
Now, put the torrent client in your neighbor's house
Yeah, they paid for their bandwidth. If the provider can't provide enough bandwidth for all their clients if their clients use all the bandwidth they've been sold. It's the provider at fault.
Get this through your heads: The ISP has sold you X bandwidth for Y price; they then arbitrarily change X to Z and charge you Y price.
It's basically the same as if a company says here give me 5 bucks a month and I'll bring 5 tulip bulbs a day. Then when 20 people sign up, instead of you getting 5 tulip bulbs a day you get 1 tulip bulb a day.
This is fuckwardery (which likely means good business practice or something).
