BT slams bandwidth brakes on all subscribers

re: good

"Think about it you cretins!! If people were only downloading legal content then the amount of traffic would be far lower and the ISPs would not throttle the traffic.

Your anger should be directed at those users who abuse the system by illegally downloading to such an extent that BT and others are forced to take action."

no my angur should be and is directed at a company that over sells it's connections it makes no diffrence weather I am "abuseing" the system by downloading gigs of illegal dvds, legal linix distros or exream porn it is all bits to them. the contract they sold me says they would ship them and ship them is what they should do.if they are giving you a "browsing only" package then that is what they should be selling

pepol downloading are only "abusing" the system in the same way as somone who gose into a "all you can eat" restrant and eats all he can eat

re:Stealing is not the act of depriving someone of something

"Instead of all this three strikes rule blah blah, why don't they just tell us what is copyrighted and protected, and prevent the download. I would actually subscribe to something like that if it didn't cost, sometimes I am not sure if an item is allowed to be replicated or not, so I tend to err on caution."

you have nop idar how awarked and complex that would be

@AC

"I have yet to find a legal use for this technology - why don't ISPs simply block it in it's entirety?

Are there any legal uses of P2P? I don't mean theoretical legal uses, I mean actual real ones. This people are legally using P2P for right now that can't be done by the normal (and simple) basic download.

I strongly suspect there isn't."

1. linix distros

2. MMORPG updates (blizard use p2p for wow patches)

3. BBC iplayer

4. recovery of damaged disks (I downloaded a copy fo windows xp home oem for somone who's orignal had been damaged in tramnst)

enought for you?

and that ignors the fact how do you tell p2p trafic apart form non p2p trafic over random ports?

re:Legal uses for file-sharing....

""More worrying, though, is where the 'music industry' is getting these names from. I suspect it's going to be an approach along the lines of Mark Twain's suggestion to 'beat your son once a day - even if you don't know what for, he certainly will'. The RIAA are going to pull names (or rather, IP addresses) out of a hat and send off letters using the ISPs as their catspaw. The letters themselves will have a chilling effect on the recipients - whether or not they've ever been sharing files. They will now think they're being watched and change their behaviour.""

if they are like the ones all ready fired off they will include details eg "on friday the 21st aug at 18.03 you where downloading new boyband crap.mp3 this is a copy of a work and is proctedt by our copy right" if I get one with out any details on it I will reply with a letter that says somthing like "yer prove it"

""There are technologies available which can filter Internet traffic. These can identify particular types of file (eg music files), check whether the file is subject to copyright protection and then check whether the person offering the file for download has the right to do so. If no such permission is found, the filter can block the download. These technologies vary in their effectiveness and cannot guarantee 100% accuracy given the lack of conformity between different computer and software technologies.""

it may seam like a hard to justife clame but it is suprisling easy

what you do is you route the packets throught your holodeck where a peptural motaion mechene checks it and uses a universal translator to look for illagle files and a phaser shoots them to knock down there shields and a nano viras to take out the copyrighted metrail and of corse all this takes palce in a black hole travling faster than light so it all happens instantley

Blighty's electro-supercar 2.0 uncloaked today

michael

@dervheid

"""..produce an economically viable electric car, capable of carrying the average family and their luggage the entire journey from central Scotland to Cornwall (530 miles), in reasonable, air conditioned comfort, in a journey time of just under 9 hours (not including breaks), that won't need to be recharged en-route?

That, my friends, is what's known as 'real-life' motoring. Until then, you can shove your electric (and hybrid) cars where the sun don't shine!!"""

ok it is thurs day morning and I am feeling losey cos of a cold and I am servley dyslexic and can not read well so forgive me but

3 points

1 when you put petrol (or desail) in a car you are "recharging" it so I do not think I know of meny cars that can do 530 miles with out "recharging"

2 I do not know of meny cars marketed as sports cars (witch this is) that can carry a family and all there lugagae

3 if this press relise if to beleve this car can travle 530 miles in 9h (prob faster) with only stops for brakes (10mins just about enought time for a coffi and etc)

michael

diffentley the way forward

@pepol complaningin about the range

if it realy dose have a 200 mile range on a 10min charge that that is what is required to make electric cars work my petrol car will do 350 miles max on a full tank and it takes me 5 mins to fill up and that is tech that has had dechades of development (my car that was 10 years older only dose 250 miles on it's tank) so the range of this cars is comprable to the range of petrol cars

@ pepol complaning about lekky infructruer

if we get more electric cars we will get the infstructor to suport them this is how it works I know it seames backwords but that is echomonics for you

@ pepol complaning about the fact it is a £120k sports car

GET OVER it. it is obvisoule a proff of concept modle sell the proto types to the rich and then fund the devlopment of the mass market modles

@ pepol complaning about durty lekky

I have said on other comment threds they are meny more whys of genrating clean lekky then clean cars

( suspect all thouse pepol are the same peroson)

and as a last thought can I have my enging sound simlator sound like a putput schooter so when I burn pepol up at the lights it is ironic

Japan kicks off electric car format war

@A J Stiles

"Anyway, electric cars are hardly any lower-emission than modern diesels; it's all just transferred from the tailpipe to the power station chimney. While that might be beneficial for air quality in densely-populated areas in the short term (and it probably would be no biggie to install air-purification systems in the busiest city streets: suck in the fumes low down, filter and blast out cleaned air higher up, turning on as and when required), it's still only a displacement activity. Nobody seems to have noticed that."

the point is there are MENY MENY more ways of genrating clean bulk lekky the clean cars fission fusion(if it works) wind sola tidal before I get on to the extram out there idars (build a space elavator and put lots of sola panles on it) it is a 2 step process

chargging time

till you can "refule" your electric car in <15 mins they will not be bought end of story pepol reguley need to travle more than a single charge will do so tehy need to refule and they need to be able to refulr enroot the simplest is with a sort of battry where you swap out dead ones.

if they have some sort of aray with battrys the sies of ssay a pringles tube you pull up open the hatch unlock the battry you want to switch take it to a charging rack lock it in place and unloack and take back a full one it might work
