You Have One Hour To Internet a Week
Mister D Nomms:
Originally, I had a vision of a man on top of a snowy mountain with a little satelite and a laptop, so it's just you.
J:
so it's one hour of connection time then? or one hour at the computer total?
because with sufficient bandwidth i could probably download at least a week's worth of collected entertainment in the from of podcasts, streamripped videos, pirated ebooks, website archives, etc. during one hour of connection time.
Asterus:
Well, the easiest way to conceptualize this may be to take this example:
When my family goes to Thailand every 3-4 years, we basically end up completely cut off from the internet and phone services. However, there are businesses there where you basically rent a computer for a short period of time. Pay the cashier, and they log into a computer for you while a timer for an hour starts. After that hour, the computer kicks you and shuts down. Basically, you buy a timeslot to use a computer that's connected to the internet.
From experience, what I end up doing is quickly checking my mail, checking whether I need to respond to maintain any vacation settings so people know what's going on, check anything I'm actively watching, then dick around a bit with youtube or forums.
