hybrid8 carpal tunnel Registered: 12/11/2001 Posts: 7738 Loc: Toronto, CANADA	Best = crazy, insane, odd, funny, unusual, unusually spectacular... you get the idea. Ok, I didn't want to pollute the video thread by tossing in an image. There wasn't already a thread for this purpose was there? So check this out. I think the one on the left is a robot. The president of Square Enix must be the one on the right in the funky suit of armor. _________________________ Bruno Twisted Melon : Fine Mac OS Software

Frankly, I think Sony (for once) is headed in the best direction. It works with Google books and your local library. Now they just need to get the price down. _________________________ Matt

I thought that it was funny the way his grip was caught in the image is all. _________________________ Bruno Twisted Melon : Fine Mac OS Software

hybrid8 carpal tunnel Registered: 12/11/2001 Posts: 7738 Loc: Toronto, CANADA	This one is not actually "best" or even "good" it's just scary. Commentary on net neutrality (or a possible worst-case scenario for a non-neutral net). Edited by hybrid8 (28/10/2009 11:36) _________________________ Bruno Twisted Melon : Fine Mac OS Software

Dignan carpal tunnel Registered: 08/03/2000 Posts: 12318 Loc: Sterling, VA	Great commentary. And that doesn't even consider the other scary impact of a non-neutral net: anti-competition. It's scary to think of Comcast being able to throttle Skype traffic because it wants to sell its own VOIP solution. And lets not even talk about content delivery. Yikes! _________________________ Matt

JBjorgen carpal tunnel Registered: 19/01/2002 Posts: 3582 Loc: Columbus, OH	The country I'm moving to, Belize, does just that. All internet in the country (other than satellite) goes through BTL. They've blocked skype on the national level because it competes with their phone service. Several other countries around the world also do this. EDIT: Cool. It appears that this changed since I was there in June. Found this on a website related to this: Quote: On August 25, 2009, the Barrow administration took the bold step of nationalizing Belize Telemedia. The new management of BTL says they have not yet stopped the blocking of VoIP. My Skype, however, has been working flawlessly without the use of a VPN since August 27th. The Proxy and VPN options shown below may still be needed in some areas of Belize or may be need again in the future, but for now, enjoy the new freedom.

Phoenix42 veteran Registered: 21/03/2002 Posts: 1424 Loc: MA but Irish born	That reminds me of the work a friend did in replacing the heater core on their A4 Golf. It seems that VW starts with the heater core and builds the entire car around it.
