Homemade Gauss Gun

Requires wooden ruler with groove down the middle to serve as the rail, steel balls that can roll down the groove to use as projectiles, and magnets to store and redirect energy. Physics is fun!"
first post yay!
See my vest, see my vest, made from real gorilla chest.

My other sig is an import.

They that quote Benjamin Franklin on liberty and safety deserve neither.

Slackware forever. Honestly, what else would you trust when it absolutely positively has to be stable, secure, and easy
It's a well known fact that DSL is just second rate to cable. The ill-informed DSL guys will tell you how great it is and all, a nice dedicated connection - but they won't tell you it's dedicated to the switch. The point being, you've got all these people pirating mp3s, porn, and software and you still are gonna get shitty service. Let's just hope you live across the street from the telco's switching equipment. The telco's have no reason to maintain their lines either, they have to open it up to other companies which look bad when bell decides to get around to fixing a problem on the lines - they make money by neglecting their equipment.
@home shot itself in the foot by offering crappy DSL service.
Cable on the other hand is not regulated meaning they have don't have to open their systems for shit. They generally provide better service anyway. In a 2001 Newsweek report it stated that the DSL market has shruken nearly a staggering 14% in one year, 9% of that in the last quarter alone. If you own stock in any of the other big DSL companies such as Verizon, Swbell, or @home then you are in for a big surprise. Lets just hope you enough bandwidth to come crying on slashdot when your company leaves your ass hanging in the breeze.
Fact: @home is DEAD.
I don't get this kind of concordance in English. Shouldn't it be "physics ARE fun"? I mean, "physics" is plural, isn't it? Or is it? Or was it the guy's mistake in writing "is" (which I don't think it was)?
I also don't agree with other concordance rules like "The Police say he is guilty" (instead of "The Police says he is guilty"), although I see how it works. I am not saying it is wrong, I just don't agree. To me, the Police, as an organization, "says" that.
And, if you have not gotten it so far, English is not my native language.

Come April 1st, Geocities will no longer support FTP. So, it's now just as bad as Angelfire.
The internet is dead, I tell you! Woe! Woe!
