About 20 miles from the closest metro area. The closest village (5k population), to which I belong, is 6 miles further.

In 2008 I organized a few people living nearby and I to request a commercial cable service to the principal provider in the area. I knew that when they received such request in the same area they had to act on it. The minimum service level agreement was for 3 years at 8mbps for 80$, thus the few of us who had to take the commercial service split the bills with the others who then were able to get their own service on it. Once the contract ended, we all moved to the better offerings which are using this line to serve us. The best out of it is that so far I've had 5 referrals, and if I get to 10 I will get a lifetime free subscription to my current service level. I`ll see if I can make it! :)

Truly unlimited 30mbps/10mbps with fixed IP and nothing preventing me (either in the eula or network settings) from running my (home/game/file/whatever) servers for 59.95 CAD (~53.57$). Sadly I live in a remote location else there would be better options.

I guess he posted about his plan since it was told that the grandmother would use around 10 - 12 GB per month (1GB / 3 days or so) for which 300GB appear unlimited. I have seen many 50GB plans advertised for 19.99$ monthly if you have your own modem.

Don`t forget that your gallon has like 0.8L less than their gallon, thus it`s normal that you won`t go as far on a gallon of fuel..

I was just giving 2 different ways to target your fill, as long as you always use the same one you have your reference.

But many of them stop calculating your MPG when your motor is running but you aren't moving, which provide very bad estimate of your true efficiency..

It's actually very easy to get an exact MPG or L/100KM figure. Always fill your car the same way (until it click, until no more drop can get it) and reset your distance counter at the same time. On the next fill, if you put in 59.8L and drove 742km, you had 8.06L/100km! Demonstration will be left to the reader...

Sadly, a lot of 'cases' for the lightbulbs won't allow you access to more than the glass part of the lightbulbs, since when they were designed there was no use to allow access to the socket, or for artistic form it's nicer this way... Also, I have multiple halogen lights that I won't be able to replace by leds because the led equivalents are much larger than the original halogen light bulbs, and that for less lumens :(

Exactly; even a master degree is shunned upon here. If you want to promote your PHD then the academic world is indeed for you, else, try to start low, you should be able to climb pretty fast.

And here's for UK;

The average age of cars on UK roads has risen to 7.44 years, as drivers feel the pinch. This figure was revealed by British Car Auctions (BCA), and is up from 6.93 years in 2008. Around seven million cars on the road sit in the six to eight year old age bracket.

Canada: (average car age) has remained within a tight range over the last decade, averaging 8.4 years
EU: 8.3

Is the avg. car age affected by collectors in the usa, or what ???

All it has is a license; as you said the concept itself can't be protected. Minecraft itself was a derivate, and there are many clones. 2.5B might appear be a high price, even more if I had misunderstood the tangible assets real value. But still, I can much more easily value mojang / minecraft / realms / scrolls to 2.5B than I could give a 1B valuation to twitch..

They purchased mojang. That usually includes the cash on hand and monetary assets. Recent estimates I've seen were talking of 1.5B in tangible assets for Mojang. Thus, it's a 1B premium, meaning that they value the profits per year for the following years at 150-160M, which is very easy to reach with that license.

Minecraft has sold more than 100 million copies, every of them having the possibility for paying for a minecraft realm monthly to share their creations. A lot more people can buy the game. Then, if it start fading away, they will be able to grab a lot of money with minecraft 2.

Finally, they can also use this license to push their devices for which there was no minecraft before. Optimized for Windows Phone!@

This is not an insane amount at all, compared to the twitch buyout or such..

indeed, the 7 caught me offguard. I've managed to grab it and the password I had used match web based games I didn't care about (required signup for flash tests). Still nothing related to gmail directly.

Really ?? I don't even remember using that password somewhere, and I confirm I never used that on well known and large site.

Thank you BTW

I'm on it, but I need to know which password was hacked. That would provide me a lot of info on what happened.
