"@Ken_Darrow: It's not the size of the dongle, it's how you use it. Seriously though that's exactly what I'm gonna need next year to use my laptop as TV when i get to uni, and it's cheap in euros! PS: please don't ban me."

"@isoSasquatch: Word of advice: get an old pIII laptop or similar, pop in a PCMCIA WiFi card (5-15$ on eBay) and you've got yourself your living room internet fix. PS: this IS a poor student solution. PPS: for extra points, use an old laptop you already own or salvage it from a relative."

citizen.lambda commented on 10 Percent of Broadband Subscribers Suck Up 80 Percent of Bandwidth But P2P No Longer to Blame

"@MagnoliaBoy: This is talking total bandwidth usage, so it's basically saying that in a typical month (here available bandwidth generally isn't your cap, and your usage reflects what you do with your connection rather than punctual needs) or period a small percentage of youtube nerds chew up a hell of a lot more than the rest. Your average soccer mom will check her mails every day, say 3MB worth of bandwidth per day, amounts to 90MB per month, a power user (pirate or guy who spends too much time on youtube can easily use 10 times that in a day. PS, @zincrox, idk if my comment got through, but i think it's the product of a white brush on a tablet, not of a font PPS: yes posting twice is evil sorry"
