Using your 200mb quota + 2GB extra at $150 a gig doing VoIP - Priceless"
As far as I know VoIP uses very little bandwidth an uncompressed VoIP stream is 128Kbps and modern schemes like G.729 can be as low as 12Kbps. So to use 2GB for VoIP you would have to talk for approximately 48 hours.
This is not counting silence suppression (i.e. only one of the two people in the conversation are generally talking at any one time so the other node does not sent packets) This means that only about 40-50% of the maximum bandwidth is used on average. So you can double the 48 hours number.

RIAA what is that?
ok that's wishful thinking that would be great
WHat Denny's ??? Mc Donalds coffee is best, it is sold everywhere. It can't be not good
Hell no, Tim Hortons has the best coffee ever.
As a life long asthma sufferer I can say exercise does help greatly. I am felling much better and have increased lung capacity since I started playing squash regularly.
As for the Correlation vs causation most diseases like asthma are a caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.This study just illustrates that TV viewing maybe one of the environmental factors.
I've not read TFA yet as I'm just on my way out the door but...
We are already approaching a world wide water shortage are we not? What possible good could come of firing water into space? Even the dirty stuff needs to stay on the planet, as it will never be replaced once it's gone.
-hps
Global warming is causing sea levels to rise we have to get rid of the extra water some how.
Unless the water is very very luck its orbit will decay and it will fall back on to the Earth. Stable orbits are very difficult to achieve.
But about the other point (water is heavy) you are right on the money there. I am just pulling this out of the air but won't using electromagnets to push/pull debris out of a stable orbit be cheaper. I mean all satellites must have some ferromagnetic material in them.
You would first sniff traffic on the line and see another user's mac and use this as your own. As that user is already registered you will not be redirected to the installation page. However getting the modem to use a specified mac is much harder then getting your own computer to do this
As for DSL you might be out of luck as there is a point-to-point link between the modem and the ISP so no traffic to sniff.
Why is it unlikely to have packet forging, Most linux box allow MAC address and IP address spoofing.
Just spoof a neighbor's mac and IP and open a TCP connection. As far as the router / switch is concerned there is no difference between 1 machine opening many TCP Connections and many machines with same mac address each opening a few tcp connections.
Sure the average movie downloading teen doesn't have the knowledge to do this but I am sure there is already some app you can download which provides a nice friendly GUI interface.
