Why would an ISP offer accounts with 95G of bandwidth per month if they didn't have the network infrastructure to support 3 to 4GBytes of traffic per day?
To say that ISPs would rather the users of torrents go away and that this is detrimental to the other users of the network does not make sense.
Copyright infringement and DRM is another issue and will be pursued.

Deleting pages from Google Cache
This is a new one for me! Always willing to try something new.
Question is: How long do the pages take to actually disappear from the listings?
I must admit that I hadn't added the profile for the blog to Google's Webmaster Tools (just the website)
If this works, it will be an interesting tool.
With respect to the blogger.com blog - a page that no longer exists returns what is presumed to be a "custom 404" page. It this is not the case then the removal may not work.

iPlayer using a proxy
As an experiment this morning I thought that I would try connecting to the BBC not using a VPN.
It still works. It took about a minute to find an exitnode in the UK but the play-back is perfect. If I wanted to download the program it would have been even quicker.

Intranet
My Intranet is no longer active
My intranet (formerly the TempusFugit Intranet) is a local server on which I store all of the software that I own and have downloaded.
It is also where I store all the source code and drivers for the projects that I am working on and equipment that I own.
If there is a file or program that you are looking for it may be available for download.
In addition to the intranet server I have developed a "TeraByte Storage Network". It is this network that forms the storage for my Home Media Centre. This network has never been connected to the Internet and is not accessible from the outside world. Under some circumstances I have opened up my internal, intranet, and forwarded some of its contents to the Internet. In these circumstances the contents have been protected by password control and required a visitor to enter a User ID.

Why can't Quicktax (Intuit) be forthcoming?
Why is it so difficult to see if QT Basic is the same as QT Standard except that you don't get the wizards?
For an extra $20 it seems like a waste of money to me. In fact, it is worth purchasing QT Basic to see if it does include all the forms (even the Flow Through/ Limited Partnership T5013 forms) and that you can copy the data from your 2007 returns, so that I can blog about it.
I have never used the wizards and think that they are a waste of time! The descriptions on the Intuit website seem to indicate that there is some sort of FUD that they are trying to perpetuate to get conusumers to buy the $39.99 version. They claim that you need it if you have RSPs.
At least this year they have increased the limit to 8 from 2 in 2007, I guess that they lost too many customers to UFile!
"Quicktax Basic and Quicktax Standard what is the difference" - this is what I searched for and maybe others will. If so, come back to this post and see what I find. To me, I am willing to spend the $19.99 for QT Basic just so that I see for myself. Even if I have to end up buying the one for twice the price!
UPDATE:
I purchased the Basic version and it was just fine for my needs - see the comment below.
