Re:Ask HN: Best way to know your ISP is throttling you?

Have you tried any of the speed test sites, for example http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks ISPs know all the speed test sites and will not throttle speed test packets.

It would be nice if they included a statement as to how they will replace revenue otherwise earned through hijacking errors.

Re:Why Solar (Freakin) Roadways will never exist
on Saturday May 31, 2014 @06:13PM (#7827452)
I think we need to distinguish the road technology from the solar technology. Is this a viable road technology when decoupled from the solar technology? Is this mechanism of solar collection/distribution more or less effective than other efforts? Clearly, our paved-over world could be put to better use, but is this approach a net gain or is it just solar buzz?

More important than price is engagement value. If I spend four months with a game, I don't mind the $60 price. Some notable examples for me: Skyrim, GTA-V, and Dark Souls 2. However, I have played games with little or no engagement value. BioShock 2 lasted less than 2 weeks (2 play throughs).

Serious link bait! The deadliest plane crash ever had to be 911.

While this is a reasonable approach, it quickly breaks down when you look at code written by others who do not follow this approach.
