Comcast has been sending out propoganda explaining that they're going to cap users @ 250 GB/month because a SMALL percentage of users are using a lot of bandwidth doing BAD THINGS!  First off, fuck you, I know you're talking about me. Second, why is it that you're going to give us double our speeds for free if you're strained so much?

Let me explain why: Comcast's first business in our area was TV.  For example, if I start using Netflix's HD streaming via XBOX 360, I will be interferring with their business model and will be taking away money from them. So, this is where the cap comes in. Since I'm also a customer of their internet service, it is easy for Comcast to implement unfair control measures.  The cap discourgages massive downloads and gets customers to begin to get used to limitations.

Perhaps someday we'll be tiered like we pay for TV: $50 for basic package, $15 more for X,Y,Z content, $15 more for the whole internet!

6Mbps/1Mbps upgraded --> 12Mbps/2Mbps
8Mbps/2Mbps upgraded --> 16Mbps/2Mbps

New Plans:
22Mbps/5Mbps  $62.95/month
50Mbps/10Mbps $139.95/month

Dear Peter,

You spoke, and we listened. We are keeping Profiles. Thank you for all the calls and emails telling us how important Profiles are.

We are sorry for any inconvenience we may have caused. We hope the next time you hear from us we will delight, and not disappoint, you.

-Your friends at Netflix

Edit: Oh ALSO! Please figure out a way for us to delete profiles.  I can help you drum up the SQL command if you really need me to.

Opera Mobile 9.5 has been something many have been looking forward to for a long time!! It generates full websites and does NOT need the mobile version that many sites provide.  Some betas popped up on XDA recently 1409 build.  It performs EXTREMELY well for a beta on my Kaiser (AT&T Tilt) running WM 6.1.  I highly recommend it to anyone using Windows Mobile!

Set this browser to be your default via the registry.  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:DEFBROWSER.  I just changed :MSPIE to "/windows/operal.exe".  You should be able to go back to MSIE, but why would you?  I found that reg key from the 1409 link. Thanks ycavan

Edit: Modified pic to show actual screenshot of application. Pic taken with Remote Zoom-in

Edit2: Also like to bleed my memory and not release it, just FYI

Edit3: 1409 build added. much more stable, rapes ram less. Also added regi option for def browser. Why wasn't this in the app?

A few of us have talked about renting some dedicated hosting. Primarily collocation hosting. It'd mean upfront purchase and ownership of server, and only a monthly cost for rack space, power, internets, bandwidth.

Personally, I'm very tired for getting pw3nd by shared hosting providers. I do understand that it can't be perfect, but you still have to have a decent uptime, and you can't lie. I'd go into detail about how 1and1 has screwed with me over the years but I'll be brief (tried to cancel webhosting but keep Exchange, but told me I had to get a different Exchange account and transfer my mail, or else it would be lost since the Exchange was 'attached' to the webhosting. Seems like a billing problem, not MY problem. Also, if I call you to tell you your server has been down for 30 minutes, and I call and you fix it while I'm on hold, don't passively treat me like I'm bothering you because everything is working)

Also, their .net app restrictions are not the best.

Okay, it wasn't too brief. But I've played out the numbers assuming I purchase the server, and it'll cost you less than good meal per month.

Update: +1 BJ +1 SP +1PS

Update: BJ and PeterS have brought up cloud hosting options like Amazon's EC2 and GoGrid. I am not very familiar with these, and they seem to charged based on application. But if it were possible to have a single app running windows server 2008 VM, I could see it working.

As Sam pointed out, hell has frozen over. I've practically changed over to Firefox and impatiently waiting for version 3 to come out tomorrow. I am one of the many who pledged to download tomorrow.
Compared to IE7, it supports my CSS much better. Which can be a problem. I make a site look perfect in FF, but looks horrible when many others pull it up in IE. No need to rant, but that's the way of the world. When developing, you must make it cross-browser. But this is also where the FF plugin for IE come in. I can easily change between browers within an IE tab to test a page. Also works well for site that require IE (OWA).
Another plugin is Ad-Block. I feel a bit guilty taking away ad content from sites, but most of the time I only do it for sites with HORRIBLE advertising. Example: Facebook. Advertisement are based on your personal status in your profile. I am listed as single, so they throw up singles ads. Makes sense right? Why is it that the majority of the ads sporting gay men? And yes, I know I opened myself up for jokes. Facebook is making a judgement, but they only looked as far as me being single. They didn't go the rest of the way to see what sex I listed as "interested in". *click* ads gone.
The plugin management, and autoupdate for each plugin is fantastic. I don't have to go back to the addon page to seek an update, it pops up and notifies me. Hooray. To be fair, FF3 RC3 has been a memory behemoth. I use it heavily @ work, and most of the time I cannot leave it running over night. It will typically crash once a day. Perhaps tomorrow will show improvement. Is that decent enough of a reason, Sam.
