If only because they lock down and lawyer up on their file types hard so that you can't seek any alternatives when using it for school or business (which they've spent a lot nearly monopolizing in).

Well, at ~4.7GB/hr with 1080p streaming, I guess it would only take 2 and a quarter of streaming a day to hit the cap.

I guess you're right, 300GB is kind of low when you look at it. It's 2014 and people should be expected to be able to stream all of their TV watching.

Isn't their cap like, 300GB and they almost never enforce it?

I know they just doubled their speeds to like, 100-150 Mbps in some areas recently. Given an entire 6 more years, I think they will be fine in that regard. But they had better make some changes in they don't want to get overthrown by other providers.

They mostly just check to see if a planet is within the right distance from its sun.

"using flaws in an entertainment product"? We aren't talking about glitches, we're talking about hacking. You can't just maliciously disrupt business like that without consequences.

"If we want to use the law to stop people from hurting each other or hurting each others enjoyment"

Business. They're not just disrupting someone's fun, they're wasting the company's time, servers, and chasing off customers for t...

But they aren't just altering their own software...they're disrupting the use of other persons' software and in public servers. If they want to hack their own game and play in private servers, fine, but they're interrupting business for their childish intangible gains.

I agree with DivineHand125 that this sort of malicious activity needs a fine.

I don't entirely hate the idea. Maybe civil action would be better, but doing this sort of thing should have legal consequences.

It ruins the experience for others, who will in turn not purchase additional games/add-ons; a particularly harmful consequence for F2P games where they need people to continually return and spend money.

A singular, extra-expensive delivery option isn't going to make a significant reduction of delivery trucks.

"why is it that all other airplanes which are bigger by the way, don't leave those blatant exhaust trails?"

Like 747s? Because 747s definitely leave exhaust trails.

I should have known that I couldn't bring up plane exhaust without getting a conspiracy theorist telling me that they're chemicals for some conspiracy.

Good. The sky where I live is already cluttered with planes, exhaust trails from planes, and helicopters.

You want quick delivery from Amazon? Pay for the 1 day shipping and wait the extra 23 hours.

I'm sure they do. But smartphones weren't really around in 1999.

I immediately assumed that they were talking about the gravity waves. There's nothing wrong with the title.

It says "Big Bang evidence now being doubted"
Not "Big Bang now being doubted"
Not "All Big Bang evidence now being doubted"
Not "Big Bang proven wrong"

First of all, yes, people on the right are more pro-oil, but NOT so much pro-nuclear, which is why I specifically said "some lefties"

Second, Obama wanted to give 54 $$BILLION$$ dollars in loans to nuclear power for his "cleaner" energy initiatives and then the Japanese plant went nuclear. Sure, it has seen a massive setback, but there are still elite democrats who want more nuclear power.

The big lefty, Obama, was pining for nuclear power and that led to a lot of liberal persons hopping on that bandwagon, until Japan's incident.

People on the right are more apologetically pro-domestic drilling, but not so much pro-nuclear energy.

3628d ago 1 agree0 disagreeView comment

And certain lefties in the US keep yelling that we need more nuclear; it's so safe that absolutely no one wants the left over waste, no matter what the incentives.

We need more solar and wind.

You could get the same results practicing breathing techniques without introducing your lungs to any smoke.

3631d ago 0 agree2 disagreeView comment

Yeah, but no amount of smoke is "good" for the lungs. It's still burnt residue.

Curiosity. Yes, it's disturbing, but it's something that is affecting our modern world. I mean, what exactly is going on at such a screwed up scene? It's something I have to see for myself and try to understand personally. Something to intimately understand how their culture differs from ours; to me, a second hand account is never enough.

edit: I finally saw it. You can barely even tell what is going on. It's just a crowd going back and forth with an occ...
