Stopping The 56K Hate

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the if-you-can't-laugh-cry dept.

A just-barely-Anonymous Coward writes: "Every day, hundreds of people are discriminated against by their Internet connection, banned from video/audio downloads, video/audio streaming, gaming, webcasts, and many other everyday Internet activities. The damage starts small -- hurt feelings, a little anger -- but soon it all escalates into pure rage that often leads up into the cutting of the aggressors' broadband line. The broadband users of the internet are the ones that torment the little people. All too often they forget their true origins; where they came from back in the good old days before there were even 56k modems. This website is dedicated to stopping the hate of 56k modems. Show your support by joining the ranks." No accounting for taste, but I laughed from this end of a 53K connection to my ISP.

    Why do slashdorks go into massive denial every time they hear something they don't want to believe. Games are bad for you? Impossible! Most slashdot readers use IE? Lies! Napster is theft? Troll!
