Verizon's Solution to Terrorism: Eliminate Verizon Competitors

The New York Times has an article about Verizon lobbying for rate increases and to remove all requirements that Verizon provide telecom services to competitors, claiming that being a large, sluggish monopoly is somehow advantageous in responding to disasters, although Verizon hasn't managed to restore phone and data service in large areas of Manhattan yet. In a related story, an association of small ISPs has surveyed its members and come to the revelation that the Bells are stifling competition.

    Weeelllll -

    my cunt is a'drippin',

    Sitting proud inside your tummy!

    Thank you, thank you very much. I'll be here all week. Tip your waitstaff.

    Here is my ass
    Which you may kiss.
    Take time and aim well
    You don't want to miss.

    For if you aim low
    And your lips they do fall
    Then you will find
    You'll be sucking my balls.

    If you aim high
    Despite your true heart
    Sucks to be you
    Now you're eating my fart.

    Thank you, thank you. You're too kind. I'll be here again tomorrow, please remember your waitstaff.

  6. Simple DSL by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic


    Getting a DSL line is such a complex process when you're dealing with Verizon. It should be simple, and I want it hooked up to a simple computer.

    Anyway, here is the simplest computer around, and the interface is perfect because we are all born with it - the interface is human DRIVE. The computer works like this: I stick my pee sprout in your mom's poop chute for 1, and I stick it in her pee hole for 0.

    poop chute = 1
    pee hole = 0

    Sometimes I stick it in her mouth, but that is for parity.

    Sometimes complex operations can take a long time to complete, but that's okay! We're looking for simplicity here, not speed. And waiting for this interface isn't that bad.

    This simple computer is very susceptable to visuses. In fact, it comes pre-loaded with several.

    For review:

    poop chute = 1
    pee hole = 0

    This computer also fits into Microsoft's .Net strategy - namely, pay per use. It costs $10 per computation, or 15 minutes, whichever comes first.

    poop chute = 1
    pee hole = 0 1

    Has Jenni dumped his boyfriend once again?

    At least the guy on Jenni's bed just a moment a go didn't look like the good old long-haired Sasquatch-guy Jenni's been banging previously!
