AUGH! I can't take it anymore: please, PLEASE take note of the correct protocol:
antennae: those segmented feeler things that insects, et al wave around to sense the environment
antennas: man-made variously shaped bits of metal to pick up or transmit radio frequencies and connected to a radio device. See
and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna

Hey guys, Dont know about you but these late nights I'm having with iBurst is getting to me. >.<
After hours? More like early morning uncapped. Not to sound ungrateful but can you maybe start the uncapped at 10 instead of 12.

.Does the free bandwidth apply to the remaining of active downloads started before 12:00AM? E.g. if I start 500MB at 11:50PM and manage to download 5MB before 12:00AM, is the rest 495MB after 12:00 going to be free or it only applies to downloads started after 12:00AM?

Bubbles decided to do some research and help you guys get some sleep. The following home storage unit has a download manager that can be scheduled: http://www.seagate.com/www/en-gb/products/network_storage/blackarmor/blackarmor_nas_110/
I can finally download my Orange box from steam.
Check it out, a lot of demos on there that you can download.I also got accepted for beta testing SC2:wings of something (
), so downloading that as well.I hope so, cause I have started all my steam downloads this way. :O

Rooigevaar, I'm sure that a lot of guys don't only want to use it for downloading the interwebz, some prefer to have "Bubbles' extravaganza" start earlier to actually enjoy the internet/gaming/what-ever. We all very well know that iBurst has the best looking subscribers, but for us to keep it that way, we need our beauty rest
BUBBLES FOR PRESIDENT!!!

So you missed the link to http://www.answers.com/topic/antenna then? ..that (also) a not very creditable source? How about http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/antenna .. http://www.yourdictionary.com/antenna ..? You may find this really IS more the convention than you appear prepared to accept.
Yes, for the bits you get on critters (and, we observed, when alluding to a similar kind of sensory input).
And the plural of house, how about goose ..not to mention sheep? See how they all behave differently? And, while (very!) arguably 'mouses' may be more correct when referring to the computing appendage, it's not particularly popular - somehow people just feel silly using it.
Perhaps you may be inclined to learn the difference in usage between discrete and discreet?
Only in America. You can have your antennas and mouses and spell colour as "color" if you like, I won't try and persuade you otherwise.
BTW, the root word is the Latin antemna meaning yardarm (part of a ship) which is man-made, and thus probably closer to an aerial than the feelers of an insect.

Epic thread derail...
Now, back to Bubbles for the real topic at hand...
Bubbles has hired a spokesperson. Here is the response on the grammar police: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3213/2914215110_4599796065_o.jpg
Sorry, I had never before encountered the American branch of the grammar police.Epic thread derail...
Now, back to Bubbles for the real topic at hand...
Things to download tonight:
Ubuntu Lucid Lynx Beta 2
I've been running Beta 1 for the past two weeks and it's been great.
Unlike a Microsoft Beta which stays static until release, Ubuntu Betas upgrade daily so be prepared for a couple of megabytes every day until release date.
Boxee
I've heard good things, and it's available for Windows, Ubuntu and Mac OS X.

Bubbles recommends: MIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/courses/av/index.htm
He is sick and tired of being called a monkey so is studying to improve his knowledge.
BTW: Time's up: DAAAY-OOO - [video=youtube;Jpg-KIKD5gU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jpg-KIKD5gU[/video]

Why when they give you the tip of the finger do you grab the hand
With Iburst launching Free uncap internet after Midnight on a trail basis for 3 months I've read some of the threads about how much people download and it's almost like a competition to see who can download the most.
Now m question to all is why in the world do you want to try and download as much as you can because I mean lets be honest you can download each night and download the whole internet onto your computer if you wan, but you will never be able to play all the games you download or listen to all the music and it might even take you months to watch all the movies and then half of them won't even be that good or be enjoyed.
Don't you think that everyone should at least try to maintain there desires to download everything and only download what they really need and really will be using, and not to mention that you will even be able to get a lot o the stuff you are now downloading from your friend that has already downloaded it, but just because it's now uncap you rather download it yourself. If you intend to download lot get in touch with people running those wireless networks like www.ptawug.co.za and hare what you have downloaded with others.
Of course everyone will probably feel I'm full of crap and just continue abusing the uncap after midnight and then after 3 months bye bye uncap and then everyone would not know why it was taken away and of course start insulting iburst again for taking it away. We have seen what happens to the throttled accounts for 64K they went bye bye and if you want the service you had to cough up R199 per month extra for the same service, an it wa taken away because i can tell you people tried to see how much they can get out of the account by downloading 24/7 around the clock.
So think about it and start using it a tad less just try control that urge and you might see this service continue for years to come, so don't try to get everything in this next three months, but rather think of it as a service available for the rest of the year so you will have enough time to download the whole internet onto your pc over time you don't need to try and fit this mission you have into the next 3 months.
And remember you might feel I'm full of crap, but your actions will eventually lead to the removal of uncap so your action will affect others also enjoying the service, but not abusing it.
