Yes, in Nashville you get 3 50gb overages you can use them all at once or spread out.

Nashville and somewhere else where the cities with caps in 2012

scroll broken on chrome, works on FF though

Opening it on my phone said "We are out of inventory. Check back soon.". Opening on PC said "Coming soon" and a refresh of the page let me buy it. Hope that helps.

The only thing I could see something like this doing is alerting the owner if the dog is barking all the time while they're out or something. You could always just set up a webcam for that though. Also, I wonder how much you have to charge it. Can it survive rain and mud?

While UO was my favorite game of all time, this is not UO. I won't be helping fund this. Garriot does not have a track record anymore. He's had failure after failure post-UO.

He needs to take a step back and look at the successful games that have taken off recently that have roots in UO. My best example is DayZ. You run around with items that if you die fall on your body. Weapons have low relative value like UO. You can trust no one. People love the hell out of this game and it embodies what UO was to a lot of people. Unforgiving and harsh, but so much fun.

I'm disappointed where he's going with this but with what he's made post-UO I'm not surprised. I never expected him to create the next UO.

He was rich. He spent most of his money fulfilling his lifelong dream to go into space. (His dad was an astronaut...) He has a half-built "castle" in Austin which he had to stop building because of his space endeavor. He hasn't had a successful game in a long time. Since UO, really. He may have gotten some money from NCSoft lawsuit / settlement recently but I don't remember which way it went.

This is great news. Along with a feed that shows you EVERYTHING the people you follow post.

PRESS RELEASE, NEW PROVIDER FOR TPB

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, 3 MARCH 102, 평양 (PYONGYANG).

The Pirate Bay has been hunted in many countries around the world. Not for illegal activities but being persecuted for beliefs of freedom of information. Today, a new chapter is written in the history of the movement, as well as the history of the internets.

A week ago we could reveal that The Pirate Bay was accessed via Norway and Catalonya. The move was to ensure that these countries and regions will get attention to the issues at hand. Today we can reveal that we have been invited by the leader of the republic of Korea, to fight our battles from their network.

This is truly an ironic situation. We have been fighting for a free world, and our opponents are mostly huge corporations from the United States of America, a place where freedom and freedom of speech is said to be held high. At the same time, companies from that country is chasing a competitor from other countries, bribing police and lawmakers, threatening political parties and physically hunting people from our crew. And to our help comes a government famous in our part of the world for locking people up for their thoughts and forbidding access to information.

We believe that being offered our virtual asylum in Korea is a first step of this country's changing view of access to information. It's a country opening up and one thing is sure, they do not care about threats like others do. In that way, TPB and Korea might have a special bond. We will do our best to influence the Korean leaders to also let their own population use our service, and to make sure that we can help improve the situation in any way we can. When someone is reaching out to make things better, it's also ones duty to grab their hand.

I'd like to see them add a "monthly donation" where someone can just set their cc / bank account up to fund $50 a month. They'd allocate the money to specific cases and send you an email to the one(s) they used your money to fund.

Why would ISPs monitor for content they don't own? They have no incentive to kick their own customers off their network for content the ISPs don't own. I'd love to see a source for "everything you've heard".

I think they'll need a re-branding if they want to be successful. Kickstarter is a very easy word to say, spell, and understand. It can also be used as a verb ("Did you kickstart that project?"). Microryza has none of those things. That said, hopefully they can do better than petridish, which seems to have floundered.

Should probably get rid of whatever crap site this is... but here is the direct youtube video. He basically talks about a new kind of fusion reactor they've been working on in skunkworks and how it's different from the reactor people have been trying to build forever.

Hrmm. I don't know. I was just curious and looked it up. It appears that microsoft has their own patent for a magsafe-like connector: http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/14/microsoft-magnetic-patent... from http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/19/microsoft-surface-power-c...

Maybe this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MagSafe

Apple exclusively owns US Patent No. 7311526 ("Magnetic connector for electronic device", issued in 2007) and does not license the MagSafe connector or the patent.

Having a developer calculate tax seems odd. Does this mean every single developer who puts a paid app on android store needs to figure out the intricacies of digital download tax for every single state / country? Sure big companies can hire someone to do it but that seems excessive for an individual developer.

This is a silly point to make. Exit nodes ARE shady, you should assume that with Tor and encrypt everything. That is not the purpose of Tor.

I'm in this same boat. However, I give very little to kickstarter. I think I've helped fund 2 or 3 things at the lowest teir (like tim schafer's). For most things I am interested in I let other people fund them while I wait for them to hit retail with absolutely nothing lost.
