Actually, the reason behind that is because Java isn't accurate enough in it's programing to run nuclear facilities. I know this b/c I'm a computer science major and I work with Java. Java programs allow for a margin or error when doing math problems. That would (not could) be catastrophic if they designed a program that added did whatever in a nuclear power plant.

All the companies need to do is set up plans. While I'm not in favor of caps, it also doesn't make sence for my grandpa who just checks his e-mail to be paying the same amount as the guy down the street who is uploading and downloading movies all day and night every day. What I'm saying is that the plans should be set up like text message plans. You could have a pay-as-you-go plan, and just pay for what you use. Or have a plan up to xGB. Then one up to xxGB. And another for unlimited. This way, everyone gets what they want.
I don't actually pay bills, so I wouldn't know how much it should asctually cost. I was just throwing around numbers. And that's just my opinion. It makes sense. You wouldn't charge someone $10 for 20 texts. Just like you wouldn't charge someone $10 for 2000 texts.
Maybe I'm just not reading it right.... but what is it really that he was arrested for? From what I understand, this Caxlite guy visited some "bad" site (or was it some dating site? and created a fake profile???) and then sent a harrasing e-mail? This article isn't very clear.... Anyways... If BC uses XP and he was using a jailbroken version of Ubuntu (which, by the way, is free! OH! And they ENCOURAGE changing of the code....?!? What's this?! OMG! Something that's free?!? Must be illegal...) And he was using the command prompt, how does that consitute an arrest???? Maybe I'm just putting a bunch of wrong info together.....
It is common knowledge that children enjoy games and toys, so there appears to have been little need to purchase the games.
Sounds a bit counter-intuitive, dont you think? The kids enjoy the games and toys, so dont buy them so they wont have fun. Maybe it's just my 17 year old mind at work here, but I think if my library had video games I would definatly go there. It would be a better place to meet with friends. And while kids are waiting for a turn, they might find a nice book that they like. If nothing, it will increase traffic at the library. It's impossible to see this as a bad thing. And atleast she didn't buy a PS3 or Xbox 360. PS2s are pretty cheap so it's not like it was a huge waste of money. Put the system in it's own room with some books to maybe spark intrest and books around it and BAM, presto-change-o, you have advertising to books people might read!
I agree. I think I can go over the whole commercial in my head. I've seen that ad so many times it's not even funny any more. And totaly, if you can't afford a tv converter (I only paid 20$ for mine!) There isn't anything else that the govie can do. If people are to lazy to get off the couch to buy one, this will make them get off the couch. If not, to freakin bad for them. They just need to learn some responsibility.
But that's theory. Ever heard of a little thing called file sharing?
They didn't take that into account and that's why it failed. It always will. People will find a way to get things for cheap, regardless of legal standings.
On one hand, you have the people who think Wikipedia is the greatest in the world, and on the other, you have people who think that Wikipedia is the Devil's book.
The fact of the matter is is that Wikipedia is there. It is ment to be a collection of information from people. Not some self proclaimed expert.
It would be like gathering 10 million people and asking all of them some questions on one subject. Not all of the information would be right, and some of it would be right.
Children at a young age should be taught to be able to differ right from wrong. If one artical states that a black labrador is 20 feet tall, weighs 500 tons, is purple, and has 5 tails, I should hope that a child could be able to know that that was wrong. How can they learn the difference if they are only ever shown one thing.
However, they should also be taught that Wiki cannot be used as a substitute as 3+ sources.
I believe that, when used at the right time for the right purposes, Wikipedia can be a good source.

It's Easy....

And another for unlimited. This way, everyone gets what they want.
So say:
5GB = $50
10GB = $60
25GB = $75
100GB = $125
Unlimited = $150
I don't actually pay bills, so I wouldn't know how much it should asctually cost. I was just throwing around numbers. And that's just my opinion. It makes sense. You wouldn't charge someone $10 for 20 texts. Just like you wouldn't charge someone $10 for 2000 texts.

In theory, it should have worked...

You really need to step back and look at it all.
On one hand, you have the people who think Wikipedia is the greatest in the world, and on the other, you have people who think that Wikipedia is the Devil's book.
