The funny thing is that she actually is using P2P, and doesn't even know it. Most people don't. I didn't until that "Ethics of torrenting" discussion came up a while back.
So it turns out that there programmers suck. That's too bad but I wondering why its taking so long to come up with a solution?
Not sure where the fuck that last comment came from, almost all of Canada has broadband plans with unlimited data.

It's okay I'll say it again.TM being one of the Tech Support regulars is well aware that patches can be downloaded using a P2P system. She helps people out every single day with a wide range of issues and has methods of directly contacting several tech support employees about relevant issues.
P2P is only used when there is a new patch to push out. These do not come along every day - more like every few months or so. And they are not always very large - the last big one we got was about 150 mb ish.
Game data is transferred over TCP port 3724. The new streaming data feature uses TCP port 80 and streams from one of Blizzard's Akamai web servers.
Broadband in Canada is absolutely pathetic. By far and away the worst provider however is Bell.
No, it's a crime to advocate violence, not just to say racist stuff. I was at Calgary's anti-racist rally last month, and there were a few guys from White European Brotherhood saying things that were just short of getting them arrested for advocating violence.ReiverCorrupter said:
You may recall that Ann Coulter and the Westboro Baptist Church were warned about Canadian hate speech laws. They'd be allowed to peacefully express their political or religious views, but not allowed to say things like:

These are the sorts of views we censor in Canada. The US forbids advocating violence against individuals, but Canada forbids advocating violence against groups.Westboro Baptist Church said:
OT: My internet service in Canada is pretty bad compared to the urban US, but this is much worse than what I'd tolerate. Providers in Canada have such a near-monopoly that they screw customers, over and over. It's not nearly as bad as Australian internet access, but could be a lot better. Do any good American ISPs want to bring their invisible hands up north and make some money improving Canadian connections?
That still seems like a bit much to me. I'd draw the line at actually planning to do those things. Then you'd have a conspiracy charge. 'Advocating' is still so general that it should count as opinion. Granted the people who do advocate these things should be put on some watch-lists, but that's it. What if someone said something to the effect of "we shouldn't put up with the government doing this [ ]"? Aren't they advocating treason? Treason is the highest offense under the law, so shouldn't they be arrested too?Chamale said:
Also, I believe denying the holocaust, or even saying that the statistics were inflated is illegal in Germany, or so I've heard. So my apologies to Canadians for confusing them with Germans. (Also my apologies to Germans if it isn't true.)
