Time charing in places  such as Mexico or Costa Rica are not worth it because you can get all inclusive for sheaper. 1 week all inclusive in Mexico $700.00 if that!

spend less than you make and do it for a long time.

No.  You're at the mercy of the bandwidths that are being used at the time.   Sometimes there is more traffic which will make it slower and other times you are using it at a time when not that many people are on so it will be faster.\n\nHope that helps.

The real answer to this question is going to be VERY subjective, meaning that its going to be different for every person. Because no two people have the exact same life situation or costs.\n\n**No! two people have the same life styles.\n\n**My own situation is un-usual as I have no debits, no morgage and extremely low overheads and I dont indulge in many luxergies but nor am I poor either, I dont smoke or drink and my biggest luxergies are a car, the internet and TV. So I can live on virtually nothing about £30-40 a week which for some people would be pin money or beer money or would be blown in a few minutes at a night club. See what I mean its all relative.\n\nIR

I think your questions is : If i visit more website will my internet bill will rise ?  If this is the question then then Answer is "No". \n\nInternet is charged for how much time you are connected ? \nFor example if you connect at 8 o Clock and you visit 100 sites and disconnect at 9 o Clock you will be charged for 1 hr.At the same time if you didnt visit even a single site also you will be charged for 1 hr.\n\nI hope you got the answer\nRegards\nWaheed Rahuman\nDubai

Time-sharing refers to sharing a computing resource among many users by multitasking.\n\nBecause early mainframes and minicomputers were extremely expensive, it was rarely possible to allow a single user exclusive access to the machine for interactive use. But because computers in interactive use often spend much of their time idly waiting for user input, it was suggested that multiple users could share a machine by using one user's idle time to service other users. Similarly, small slices of time spent waiting for disk, tape, or network input could be granted to other users. Computers capable of providing time-sharing services would often operate in batch mode overnight.\n\nThe concept was first described publicly in early 1957 by Bob Bemer as part of an article in Automatic Control Magazine. The first project to implement a time-sharing system was initiated by John McCarthy in late 1957, on a modified IBM 704, and later an additionally modified IBM 7090 computer. Although he left to work on Project MAC and other projects, one of the results of the project, known as the Compatible Time Sharing System or CTSS, was demonstrated in November, 1961. CTSS has a good claim to be the first time-sharing system and remained in use until 1973. The first commercially successful time-sharing system was the Dartmouth Time-Sharing System (DTSS) which was first implemented at Dartmouth College in 1964 and subsequently formed the basis of General Electric's computer bureau services.\n\nOther historical timesharing systems, some of them still in widespread use, include:\n\nIBM CMS (part of VM/CMS) \nIBM TSS/360 (never finished; see OS/360) \nIBM Time Sharing Option (TSO) \nMichigan Terminal System \nMultics \nMUSIC/SP \nWYLBUR \nRSTS/E \nUNIX

Computers were expensive some time ago. Not any more. They cost the same as your hi-fi mobile phone or a nice music system. Price of computers is at par with any other electronic devices.

No, I did once, and it cost $100 to come out and $100 an hour, no joke. Nothing is that important, cheaper to buy an new hard drive (as I learned MY lesson...)

Cancel your internet!!  If you cant afford furniture for you and your kids you shouldnt have the luxury of other things like the internet.  If you smoke and/or drink...stop.  Add up the cost for all that for one year and see how much that is.  Stop trying to get free handouts when you can give some things up for you and your kids!!

If its a buddy and its an e-commerce site, 12% commision on sales. To maintain and update and all that stuff is Per Hour Fee. One month might take 1 hour, another might take 15, depends on the traffic,server,setup and alot of variables.

The above answers are correct.  A long time (15 to 20 minutes is a long time in internet land).  Maybe you should consider DSL for $15 per month, http://www.verizon.com/

I think a lot of us need to cut down on computer time, but the internet is an amazing place that lets you go anywhere anytime. I probably spend about 2 hours a day.

in my opinion, i think its much faster but its not really worth paying for... you should get napster or winmx!!

It really depends on how well known the speaker is.  Some get several thousand dollars plus travel expenses.  Less known people may only get $300 or $400.  It depends on the length of the presentation as well.  Is is all day or 1 hour?  Travel is usually paid for by the people requesting the presentation.
