I'm with Ani on this whole analogy thing. Further, it's not really about what the ISP expects you do with that bandwidth. They give it to you because it sells as a service much the same way sports cars sell as a car. It's legal for them to sell it. It's legal for you to buy it. It's illegal for you to speed with it.
And there ARE ways to download movies legally. Most just don't choose to.
PS: were these all using public trackers right?

There seriously isn't anything to do with a 10+ mb connection other than to pirate videos?
Are you just bitching that you should not be held responsible for illegal activity if someone else provides you with the means to engage in illegal activity?

The lecturer of the stats course I took was a mumbling old professor and I'm 100% sure 90% of the students attenting the lectures understood no more than 30% of what he said (yeah, I was among them). He certainly wasn't there to teach anybody but to simply cover the stuff as quickly as possible and go back to whatever research he was really interested in.
Fortunately the practical part of the stats course (running simultaneously) was excellent and the assistants there were really good at making people understand the stuff the professor failed to make anybody understand (I think they knew what manner of lectures were we exposed to). So, despite the professor, it turned out to be a nice and enlightening course.
Monday: loses compact umbrella
Tuesday: loses memory stick

You should get an umbrella with built-in memory stick so it has double the value which would lessen the chance you lose either.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
That sucks. I hope there wasn't anything terribly important on it.
Just a few seasons of Nanoha, the latest FMA ep and a PDF copy of my state's drug regulations.That sucks. I hope there wasn't anything terribly important on it.
Nothing I can't replace, so that's good I suppose. 16GB sticks still cost a fair bit though.
I also found my umbrella where I left it at the bus stop ~24hrs later. It was trashed though.

Well, it's good to hear that you didn't lose anything irreplaceable. But it's still a pain in the ass. And 16GB?! >.<Just a few seasons of Nanoha, the latest FMA ep and a PDF copy of my state's drug regulations.

My sister lost a memory stick last year with school work and she didn't have copies stored anywhere else. One of the documents was a paper for a 4th year poli sci class and she was not too happy. I think she managed to get a deadline extension but it still sucked hard.
What happened to your umbrella is pretty shitty. What kind of asshat would take the time to destroy it? Hopefully they'll get hit by a bus.
I was actually concerned about the potential issue of losing my memory stick so i bought one that was attachable to my car keys. Problem solved.
Or switch to raincoats with zipper pockets!
40AUD's the cheapest 16GB stick here. 32GBs are around the 80-90AUD mark, while 4 and 8 can be around the $14 and $23 mark.
btw, turns out I left my stick in the office, where I found it (NOT trashed!!)
I usually lose things from my pocket when I sit in a car or steps. In those cases, my sitting position has my knees higher than or level to my bum, so the pocket tips things out. That's happened to my older, slimmer phone on countless occasions.
New bitch: I've got to do 4wks of full-time placement for my course, where I'm supposed to "experience the placement site" and how it encompases Quality Use of Medicines in its work, and to do a project with the staff their at the end.
My site is the Drug and Poisons Regulation and Scheduling Unit on the 1st for of my state's Heath Department Office building. I get my own security card, desk and PC account.
I always thought I'd love these cubicle desk jobs with a PC all day, plus toilets, aircon and kitchens within the immediate surroundings. Beats standing at the back counter of a pharmacy any day.
That joy lasted for about and hour or two. After wards, it just bored the hell out of me. Everyone just does their own thing and leaves whenever they're supposed to (or not).
Give me a counter to stand behind with people to talk to please!

Sounds like a loser forum. You better stick to Gotwoot.
Yeah, no losers here. Just otaku virgins.
Oh wait.

Yeah because nothing says roaring sex life quite like having the most posts in an anime forum.

Been to a pub, there was a basketball game playing, last quarter, home team manages to even the score, and the game is in the money times.
logically, the DJ would notice this shit, and be ready with fitting music, and keep the "we are the champions" track if the team wins.
instead, the shitty DJ plays ABBA (YMCA!), the Fame song and "it's raining men", and gives the whole game a seriously gay vibe.
really, how hard can fitting music to the atmosphere be?

Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.
You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
My Koss SB45 headphones broke.. again. I've fixed them, but i'm seriously thinking on saving for Sennheiser PC 350 headphones..
Number of works of fiction that made me shed at least one tear: 3Thou seeketh soul power, dost thou not?TOX: 33524385841A92B08787EEBEBA2DB51ED293C4F15A2E292F3F C92165E82388281433A77EA8FE
You get what you pay for. Koss is one of the crappiest manufacturers of crap in the world. I think it's a Korean company.
