| Does anyone really go ONLY 55 mph anymore ? SO, network and bandwidth hogging are not just for the illegal personal servers anymore - or at least the ones that violate (clearly stated as such) AUP's or TOS agreements.
If the gas meter in your car suddenly stopped working, would you have ANY idea of how far you could drive before refueling? Maybe AFTER you became stranded from a dry tank.
Or, how about how fast if the speedometer stopped working? Well, the traffic policeman could always tell you AFTER he stopped you. But not before you giving him the outer innocent lamb-faced, inner weasel-myself-of-a-ticket excuse (no, I am NOT a cop).
Wait a minute! Says here, "Speed Limit: 55" - Is that in mph, or km/h ? (NOT ALL signs expressly say "MPH", or do they?)
I'm so glad I bought this little gimzo - it's a little chimp-like, wind-up keyed furry toy monkey (much like the one in the KIA car commercials), wearing a bell-hop boy hat, clasping 2 cymbals. Plugs right into your USB port. You can download the drivers for it from your ISP website site's technical support page. (Just look for the monkey face icon, and then follow the links that look like bananas). Once the device is detected by your system (you'll here a chimp yelping sound), using the GUI, just set the monthly numerical Rx value provided by your ISP. When you've approached 90% of your ISP's allocated monthly download quota, the monkey's cymbals start clashing, notifying that you are approaching your download limit. The cymbal clashing and the chimp's yelping increase in rate and volume, proportionally with every additional 1% download increment after 90%. I understand next year's model will replace the cymbals with either timpani or bass drums. I CAN'T WAIT! I think it would make a great gift for my boss.
