well, if you have central air conditioning heating you have all the ductwork you need to lay a cable to the computer....

that's the speed he sometimes gets. there are currently (to my knowledge at least, there might be some national security issues he's being looked into for that are not on the public record) 5 investigations for everything from fcc violations to fraud for uncapping his modem running against him. we wish him well and hope he manages to beat the telcos that are trying to keep the people on dialup slow. the epa is thinking about opening an investigation about his use of particle acceleration to send tachyons into the phone line to boost his upload speeds as well.

ah. ok. how evil of them to want to make money. but have you thought of the reasons the smaller companies rush to push the highest possible speeds to the consumer? they need to have a gimmick to sell their connections. they need to build market share to go from vulnerable small fry to big fish. what you will see in the future is those companies stagnating at currently high speeds while the larger companies slowly but surely steamroller ahead to even higher speeds leaving the small ones behind. the reason? the short-term planning by the small companies leaves them less profitable due to higher costs for maintaining the higher traffic volume hence there is less money to invest into the next generation of technology the bigger companies can more easily roll out to the customer over time without tapping into their resources in a dangerous manner. setting up the same equipment and then offering a good instead of an awesome connection to the large customer base it already has means the big fish can amortize the equipment faster than the smallfry that has to offer the maximum possible to attract a customer base to work with. as for monopoly, yes and no. if company x already has a large customer base and a network laid all over, will company y lay its own net in the same area to try to get some of x's customers? too costly. deregulation could force x to rent net capacity to y if one of x customers wants to change to y. sounds good in theory. but if that happens, companies a through k also want to do that. they each will not only transmit internet data, they will also have to send their own cable programming over the same line to the customers that switch. end result for the customer: a net that was fine for running one companies digital cable and internet service is all of a sudden running the same amount of internet service but several times the cable service because the cable companies squabbling over the market each pipe in their own feed. result: speed for the internet goes to hell because all the bandwidth is eaten up by mork and mindy reruns being broadcast by 6 companies simultaneously. deregulation only works on phone networks where every piece of the last mile (the wire to the customer) originates at a telco switch where several companies can colocate dsl equipment, putting their dsl on any line they need to while not interfering with one another. there is no doubt that all business decisions are based not on 'what would be nice for the customer' but on 'mo' money'. startups in a market need a gimmick while the big boys can plod along.

don't get me started. there is a difference between research etc. and plain theft of copyrighted material, programds and games.

boss. considered giving sessionid's to tests? that and making sessid invalid after one use would help disable back button testing

1. not all material in a public library is copyrighted. 2. you are allowed to make copies for research purposes etc. it helps to make copies because that way you can keep your quotes and credits of the authors straight.

and disable the preview in the view menu i think it is don't just resize the windows to hide it.

try retesting via the retest link and not via the back button. and turn off all firewalls, antivirii etc. etc. etc. it's another bloody cached result. ca3le when are you gonna fix that? give a sessionid to a test and make it immediately invalid so a back button click gives an expired page why don't you.

shit i /am/ asleep at the wheel here. damnitall. ddos? shame on you. and not just for admitting to it but for doing it at all. you cyber-terrorist anti-social freak!

kcr. do you have central air conditioning/heating?

who is that connected to facial cleansing cream? i'm game for a quick troll through the depths of the forum any day. usually. well, most days. i guess.

shoot yourself. it's hopeless. ok ok, just BANG! oh. durn. well, case closed. or you can read the 2 links in my sig and post all the info there and excuse me. my inquisitive 17.9 month old is doing sleep deprivation experiments. i'm just not sure on whom primarily, me or himself... let the nsa hire him as help in guantanamo?... but i digress... what are you still doing here?... you're supposed to be collecting info not reading stuff on the web... mumble....

what i'm saying is that the wireless usb thingie is the worst possible connection you can choose. so if you have a better option...

running the risk of untarnishing my rep i will clarify that i choose the term script kiddie for all those punks that claim to be 1337 hackers while all they do is collect malicious scripts off the web and run them against any available target, doing harm to people they don't know, don't care about or even how the script they are running causes harm. kinda like painting by numbers. you end up with the mona lisa without much artistic skill.

i would give it a 10 for durability, but i have to deduct half a point for the way the case scratches easily and nother 3/4 point for the way the cd lid wears out after a few minutes of use.

find the geek that told you that and slap him upside the head for me. if you go from dsl to wireless router to usb adapter to connect to wireless you might as well stick to dialup for all the speed you're dropping along the way. buy a cheap network interface card at bestbuy or wherever (don't get conned into paying more than 20 clams) and install it. then hook up the router to the modem and wire the comp to the router, or leave out the router altogether if you want, add the driver cd to your coastert connection, read the 2 links in my sig, tweak your connection and awaaaaaaaaaaay you go!

it doesn't matter if you pay for it or not. the stolen car remains a stolen car, no matter through how many hands it goes. you pay someone to download stolen movies and possibly other software? stupid. that means you left a paper trail that can easily be followed to you when the person running the site you use gets nabbed. to explain why i believe the copy you call your own is illegal: studios want to make money. they want to make as much money as possible. therefor they do not want copies of movies people need to pay a lot of money to go see in a movie theatre to be traded more or less freely on the web. they also do not want copies of movies that have been released for sale on dvd/video to be freely traded on the net. they do not want movies that have been released as rentals to be freely traded on the net. they do not want movies released as pay per view to be freely available, as well as movies released for premium cable/sattellite tv or network tv. in short: the movie studio does not want the movies to be freely available anywhere, anytime since that cuts into their possibilities to profit from said movie. hence it is doubtful wether any studio that wants to make money (and in this specific case and the budget estimates for the movie in question they need to make a ton of money to break even) will agree to let someone running an ftp or something else collect a laughable fee for the dl of said movie. do you get the point? if not, i have this brand spanking new ferrari. just fell off the trailer, for a measly 50grand. i swear it's not illegal or anything. interested?

cute subbing the dead cube for the marginally better live one. but since he had a dead cube on his hands. why not open it and wire in a small smoke machine. it would fit. then next time bro turns it on, all he gets is smoke, smoke and more smoke. WHAAAAAA!!!!!111!!111oneoneone111eleveneleven111!!!!! my game cube is on fire!!!!

could a mod shut this thread? the movie is not out on video or tv yet, there is no way in hell this file can be legal. so it's basically help me steal shit stuff.

added some explanations.l added trool. already voted. durrrr.

well, let's see what turns up. active posters unite!

and that is just rening the line. traffic may be billed extra.

as for them not offering the highest possible speed to the customer, consider the fact that not just the last mile is important. the cable co's/isp's backbone has to be able to support high traffic as well. what good does it do you to have a 30/5 connection if that means that your pings go through the roof, speeds drop at high traffic times, and general net congestion on the isp side slows. higher speed can lead to the e-mail server they run responding slower, their routing equipment can run into limits, meaning more cost to upgrade, the pipes they rent need to be increased, meaning even more cost and interconnect fees to the rest of the net go up for them too, since at every crossing point between their backbone and other companies backbones every single packet transmitted rings the cash register. an isp policy againsty file sharing and hosting is not because they are a more law abiding bunch, it is because those kinds of use increase traffic on the connection costing them more money. the price they offer to every user is a mixed calculation in which granny smith that brings up maybe 4 pages of elderly Pr0n a week and visits her geriatric blog twice a week pays more than she would need to. she cofinances little billy's connection who is constantly running his game server and hosting his clans server on his link while downloading every movie ever made from the net at the same time. the caruthers family on the other hand pays just what they should since they are using their link for some surfing, daddies online shopping for parts for that old impala sitting on blocks in the garage, son todds occasional homework research, daughter mary-lou chat's with her friends on aim and mama caruthers looks up the latest fruitcake recipies for next christmas. in the end, between the three, it evens out to 50-60 bucks a month. if individually billed granny smith would pay less and little billy would have to pay more. the caruthers would stay about the same. the only difference between a cable/dsl hookup and dw/wb is that dw/wb faps it's customers once they go above 'typical use' because even transmission on their internal net costs them money (it being via sat) and their internal bandwidth is restricted (same reason). let's say the customers get upgraded from 5/512 to 30/5 because the cable tech installed can handle it. that is a possible increase of factor six for the download and factor ten for the upload. that means the possible costs for traffic incurred by the isp go up by the same factor (not counting initial investment to bolster servers/routing gear and continued increased cost of internal bandwidth rental). i'm not defending anyone, just offering answers as to why some companies upgrade and some decide to wait.
