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.

Why are you not connecting to https rather than hoping for some redirect?

New comment by zoowar in "Why Solar (Freakin) Roadways will never exist"

zoowar — Sat, 31 May 2014 22:13:16 +0000

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?

New comment by zoowar in "The lessons of Bulletstorm and the problem with price-points"

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).
