Just curious since I haven't owned a *HACK* HP *SPIT* printer in about a decade... Back then HPs bundle of crapware was larger than the OS. Vista/7/8/10 are all much larger than XP was; has HPs bloatware team managed to catch up and regain their lead in disk space wasted?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I made that mistake only once and since then I simply ignore it and just install the printer driver and nothing more. I just can't tell you how bad it is now, but the driver already is all about paper and ink selling, so I assume that all those great (CR)apps, toolbars and updaters are at least just as bad.

1) The extra officials on the goal line are a complete waste of space. If you can't see a mugging from 5 yards then what's the point of you?
2) Glenn Hoddle knows less about football than the average snail - perfect qualifications for being England manager all those years ago, obviously.
3) A team that has drawn or lost has not "done enough to win" despite what idiot commentators may say! You cannot turn a statistical certainty into matter of opinion.
4) Gareth Bale is living proof of the maxim it is better to be lucky than to be good (but, well done Wales)
5) Harry Kane is rubbish at corners and free kicks so obviously it is essential that he continues to take them!
6) I hate football sometimes. Of course that won't stop me watching all tomorrow's games!

7) Football is the minor event to some spectators to the brawling and rioting.

Please take your sports to the Soapbox.

I see nothing in my post that even suggests that it is appropriate for the Soapbox or inappropriate for the Lounge. If you knew you weren't interested, why did you read it?

People get more political over sports than over politics!
And ANY politics is soapbox material, whether it's lounge appropriate or not.
And I really dislike sports.
"Move it to the soapbox" will, from now on, be my default reaction to any sports related messages in the lounge.
With a little luck it catches on and the lounge will be free of sports
It's all the "Move it to the soapbox" posts lately that gave me the idea 
I really disagree with the "oh no, someone mentioned Trump now I'm offended just because" mentality, but let's see if I can work it in my favor
And now that you know of my diabolical master plan to eliminate all sports from the lounge I might have to kill you.
But really, it's soapbox material.

How much bandwidth will one dollar buy today ?
I'm thinking about a network of, duh, let's estimate one hundred end users who use the connection to my system five times a day for maybe three or four minutes each time.
How much bandwidth (i.e., how many bytes of data) could I expect to provide one of those users, on average, for one dollar ?
Now, suppose my service got popular and I attracted one thousand users. Do the costs remain consistent ?
What if by some wild chance I found a million people who wanted my service five times a day ? Would the cost of the number of bytes per dollar remain constant ?

 The question is as near as dammit meaningless. How are you providing the data? Are you going to have a dedicated server, a home server which also serves your own computing needs
, have someone else host? How are they going to be connecting? Peer-to-peer, private network, standard internet connection? What is the bandwidth of the server's connection and will you have to pay to improve it as customers grow. What are your power costs, your insurance? Does it matter if the system has down time or will you need backups and UPS and ... and ... and ...
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

I don't know if this helps, but my web host (where www.ravib.com[^] is hosted) charges me $16/mo for which I get 50G of bandwidth. My current average usage is about 5GB/month, so I have plenty to spare. Note, I'm talking web host, not ISP. I assume you meant the same?

Correct, thanks. I'm trying to get some idea of what various amounts of data would cost for various configs of various possible pages.

My old website........before the ISP managed to kill the server and not recover the data.........was delivering about 10 to 15 GBytes / month. I was hosting this on a virtual machine at their data centre for around 30ukp/month. They have since changed all their machine specs so could probably get the same for less now.
One option is to go and look at AWS, Google Apps and Azure pricing calculators, they will give you an idea of how much it would cost.
When starting off small, private VMs on the likes of 1and1 will be cheaper that using the likes of Amazon/Microsoft/Google etc. it is just down to how much want to pay for service reliability and availability.

This guy[^]
It was a brief meeting. I walked in to the room where everyone was listening to him answer the latest question on immigration, sat down, listened to the absolute inane answer that he would give every illegal immigrant US citizenship, and immediately walked out.
You know, it's one thing to see a political on some news clip on the web (we don't have a TV) or on John Oliver, or even hear them on the radio. There's a certain separation, sense of disconnect, that occurs over media. But to see one of them live, in person, up close, with all their lying, bull***ing words, body language, fake smile, saying what the they think the audience wants to hear, just got me  so fast it made my head spin. I also felt like I needed to take a shower with hydrochloric acid to wash the slime off of me.
And this guy is just a minor minnow. I can't imagine my response if I actually met T or C.

He describes himself as a "family farmer"... is that allowed these days?

A number of years ago, okay quite a number, I was having a Sunday morning coffee in a Sydney suburb Lane Cove, when a fairly major pollie was doing a walk through with a camera crew espousing his bullshit. The director took one look at me and bypassed my table. I do a really mean scowl and I loathe politicians with a passion.

I have always had the impression that you loathe most people, institutions, and most of all, "change". Now of course, I don't know you, and my impression is solely based on my perception of you based on your postings and comments, but you seem to me, to be a grumpy old man.
Anyhow, I don't loathe politicians, I just don't trust them - at all, any of them; too much energy involved with loathing someone, I think.
