A few 1000s, if not more. :sweat:

Awwwww... :patpat:

I'm just glad April's Fool didn't fall on a weekday. I'd call in sick. :beaten:

My brother just did something REALLY stupid: Signed up for broadband.

Stupid, you ask? Well, it is when he's got a nice fast 8mb/s connection with 100MB downloads a month! Yes you read right, 100MB/month. And what happens if he goes over this huge allowance? It gets "shaped" to 28k. Yep, slower than dialup. And the real kicker? He signed a 24 month contract....

I could have smacked his head when he told me.... I have said to him before, "Don't sign up until you talk to me first"... but no...

Geez.. I could blow that download limit in, say, 10 minutes.. or half an hour or so on my slow 512k connection...

does australia have a 30 day "cooling off" period for contracts?

Eeeeeeeesh... :shakehead:

Is he a mad downloader? Because I don't see how a downloader would sign up for this...

WOW, what an offer :crazy2: . Even our ultra dull bTK (Bulgarian Telecommunications Company) doesn't limit the traffic for their adsl...

Well, nope. But it wouldn't take long to go over 100MB just browsing, with all the Flash sites that are around, and all the large-ish emails one gets.

And boris: ALL Aussie telco's have download limits in one way or another, either charge by the MB or GB if you go over, or "shaping" or slowing down of the speed.

One classic is charging 15 cents per MB if you go over: Doesn't sound like much, but if you download 1G over, that's $150! My provider charges $3 per G if you go over.

LONDON - Keith Richards has acknowledged consuming a raft of illegal substances in his time, but this may top them all. In comments published Tuesday, the 63-year-old Rolling Stones guitarist said he had snorted his father's ashes mixed with cocaine.


"The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father," Richards was quoted as saying by British music magazine NME.

"He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn't have cared," he said. "... It went down pretty well, and I'm still alive."
As ridiculous as this!!! :shocked: [/list:u]

Keith has had one too many scrimmages without a helmet, apparently. :shakehead:

Anime Dad you scared me! A quick glance at Mr. Miyagi and I thought he got a boob job! :sweat:

LOL.

Even scarier would be the fact that he would color his boobs to look like Easter eggs... :bleh:
