If it was less than $10 it might not have even been 4x8GB.
According to their website, you're lucky to get ONE drive for less than $10.

Buying flash drives in retail stores is like buying USB and HDMI cables in stores -- an exercise only to be done when you really HAVE to have it now. For everything else, there's NewEgg and Monoprice.

If people are claiming that you're throttling their torrents they may be having an issue with their service in general that is keeping them from utilizing the connection to the full potential. These issues may be with the customer's own equipment or networking, or indicative of an issue with the service itself.

What is the result of your technical support department's investigations into these issues?

Why would you be throttling ports? There's nothing illegal about using torrents.
Sounds like these people are simply using the service they paid for.

If it was Google who wrote Windows, we would have hit Windows 95 back in the 1980s.

He probably wasn't happy with the ones he got, regardless of how correct they were.

More accurately, it's a dupe of the exact same summary (with no paragragh break).

Yup, Microsoft and Facebook -- it's like a marriage made in Hell. Or data-mining Heaven, depending on your point of view.

I sort of suspect that's where things will have to go anyway. Spotify is operating at a loss and "we'll make it up on volume" is one of the oldest lines in the book.
They either will have to drop the free tier entirely or restrict it to the point most people don't really want it unless they want to become another brand for the .com bust books.

Why can't you? You don't even need Prime.
They have a web based player for songs in your library of purchased MP3 -- so if you bought the White Album in that format you could.

Built in 2009, hardware cost: about $900 originally.

Currently:
Gigabyte X58/1366 socket (can't remember the exact model now)
Processor: Core i7 920 (Bloomfield) -- runs stock speed but is undervolted to 1.005v
6 GB DDR3/1600 running in tri-channel configuration
Geforce GTX 670 graphics card (this is actually an upgrade for me from January)

WD Caviar Black - 1 TB -- Boot Drive

Storage drives

WD Caviar Black - 640 GB (this was the original boot drive when I built it)
Samsung - 1 TB
Seagate - 2 TB

Optical drives:

Lite-On DVD burner w. Lightscribe support
Pioneer BD burner

OS: Currently Windows 8.1, originally Windows XP x64

Case: Antec Nine-Hundred
Power Supply: Antec TPQ-850

Monitor: Samsung T240HD (this is a 1920x1200 monitor with TV tuner functionality and component vid inputs) (separate purchase)

I'm not much of a gamer, and the system was built for my hobby of video processing/encoding, so I focused on putting money in the CPU and graphics were less important. I only had the one smaller Caviar and the DVD burner. But as HD video becomes more popular, storage needs grew. I do play games occasionally and have an account on Steam, I originally had a Radeon HD4830/512 for the graphics card and it worked fine. I had to upgrade recently because of the high video processing requirements of MadVR and a friend gifted me a copy of Transistor last Christmas (the system requirements needed a card with at least 1 GB of VRAM). I actually bought the GeForce second-hand from the same friend for a good price (it's an RMA replacement he'd only used for a few months himself before upgrading to a GTX 970).

I might build a new rig this year. I don't really have a processing emergency or anything, but I want to see what Skylake offers. I'd like a system that isn't so large and runs cooler. I have an NCASE M1 in a box here for the next system when I do it, and I already have a small FreeNAS server running I want to transition all the video storage to in the future so I don't need all the spinning drives in the PC. Will likely go to an SSD and 16 GB RAM for the next build.

What? Everyone's always talking about how once your give your information to Facebook they'll keep it a million years.

What's racist about a story about changing driving rules in an African country? Did the poster say what country it was, or what the ethnicity of the Minister of Transportation was. Or are you making the assumption everyone in Africa is black?

Who's racist now?

Sounds like you've never worked a helpdesk job. The ones where you deal with people who run "Internet-based businesses" but don't really how how to use their computer or understand how things like their Internet access, email, web hosting, or search engine results work.
