 RallyBah HumbugPremium join:2000-10-27 Astoria, NY | When does this company make any sense. I'll bet half of the people who design services for Comcast don't even know a cap is implemented. -- Would you ever allow me to study the phislophy of your spirit.Masiela Luasha> |

 | reply to Joe12345678 They will probably exempt the online backup service from the cap, showing what the real reason for the cap is - to protect the walled garden. |

 | reply to Rally The better response is I bet half the people making decisions or giving advice to Comcast are the same contractors that Rob, Steal, Murder the clinets =P. Hence, ignorance flows from all sides of this river. |

Why would you upload and download and remove 200 gigs of DIFFERENT material every month? Chances are you will put stuff there for long term storage. -- Block Accounts | UseNet Now |

Overage fees when you exceed your limit--the only difference being, I guess, that you aren't a candidate for having your connection terminated when you do exceed it (although I wouldn't be too sure--"mistakes" happen). |

 | reply to swintec Why would you use a computer when you can just use cassette tapes to store and move your data from system to system.
Chances are you would put stuff on a tape for long term storage.
Why would you use the service at all when there are better solutions at cheaper prices.
Why not go back to say the whip and buggy. Those worked just fine.
Are you really listening to yourself when you ask your questions. I can come up with some really dumb ones also. The internet is fueling progress in other countries and their economies will come up on top while ours will continue the downward spiral unless we think outside the box for a moment. |

 fiberguyMy views are my own.Premium join:2005-05-20 kudos:3 | This post isn't even interesting... cassette tapes? backup storage being equated to the progress of other countries?
The internet is nothing for everyone. I mean by that, as the internet is going to be used based on the person who is using it's needs..
Online back up use is not going to make or break the internet or fuel progress.
You can't make broad statements about other countries. Each country in how it used the internet has a different reason. Some countries, had little in the lines of tools so this was like handing them a gift from above, so to speak. The United States wasn't hurting like you make it sound, and in case you were asleep through the 90's and the early 2000's, the internet super charged our nation like never before.. remember the bubble? If you understand economics better, you'd not make that statement at all. Its easy to fuel progress where there once was none or little.

And these days, more people in this category, like Karl said, will use other hard drives, or hell, even DVD's to back up data.. cassette tape is, like you said, the whip and buggy.
And the downward spiral? What is this "downward spiral" you are speaking of? |
