This Must Be Illegal

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008

http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2008/07/31/tech-bell.html

Bell Canada Inc. is moving to impose download limits on customers of independent internet providers… The limits would range from two gigabytes per month for customers with slower connections of 512 kilobits per second up to 60 GB for those with the faster speeds of five megabits per second…

Seriously. You do it to your own customers, then whatever. Now you want to do this to the reseller ISPs too? You already have another case that is to be ruled on by the CRTC; this isn’t making your case any better than it should be, especially since Google is against you.

Bell Traffic Shapes Everyone

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

Not just their customers, but the reseller ISPs now, and I’m under one of those reseller ISPs.

News Link

Bell claims they’re only slowing down torrents, but it’s also affecting network latency in Mabinogi, too! You tell me if I’m happy with that!

I hope the CRTC takes the matter seriously and does something that’ll let everyone be happy. Or just make Bell suffer and we win (zero-sum game). Don’t care which, just let me play my games in peace!

I’m nowhere near Ottawa, but a rally is being held there April 29, so if you’re around, please show your support!

ICBM on eBay

Thursday, October 11th, 2007

http://tinyurl.com/2ynfvm

Couple of things to note:

  1. This thing has been listed since July 15, so if it were bullshit or illegal, eBay or the USA respectively would have picked up on this.
  2. $1.5 million USD. US dollars. Holy crap.
  3. No nukes included.

Firefox = BLOCKED

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

http://www.digg.com/software/Why_Firefox_is_blocked

This just pissed me off so much. I don’t need to see the guy’s site; comment on those pages if you can, because I want to see such people go down for taking out half the potential amount of users just for the sake of advertisement.

On another note, this move was so stupid it’s free advertisement for the AdBlock plugin for Firefox. So sad. :)

Just more or less collecting だんご大家族.

It’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta do it. :)

You people should fold…

Wednesday, December 20th, 2006

… for the future of mankind! And because we don’t want people like Shiori running around with a nasty cold, and maybe we’ll find a solution for foxes that want to be near humans. Or maybe we’ll find a way to cancel out comas. Hint hint.

If you do join up, please use team number 53370.

Logic Computer House has such good customer service

Thursday, December 14th, 2006

Or so I thought. I buy RAM from them and find out later it’s not compatible with my motherboard; stability issues and all. So I call them up and ask if I can get a refund, and they tell me no. So you know what? I’m not buying from them anymore. Their policy sucks. It’s not just that though, they don’t even make an effort to publicize their policy in-store at the very least.

Tell everyone else not to buy from that stinking piece of crap. Do so, so to send them a message their store is hell and doesn’t deserve any cash at all. If you want to e-mail, feel free.

5 mbps has kicked in

Saturday, October 28th, 2006

Or rather, 4 mbps. It’s a shame, I was hoping for better numbers.

According to the tests, my max download is 4137 kbps and max upload is 650 kbps. That’s roughly 517.125 KB/s download and 81.25 KB/s upload. Although my download speed’s gone up by approximately 217 KB/s, the upload’s the same.

And judging by Look’s website, upload’s gonna stay that way until further notice.

…

Hey guys, like, I’m rated at 5058/800 on my modem’s configuration screen. Why am I still just getting 80% of the juice I’m supposed to be getting? :(
