    A press release by Doubleclick dismisses Christianity as "just a passing fad." I think Doubleclick may be mising the boat on this one. Many companies are gearing up to take advantage of Christianity. Cuold just be sour grapes on their part.

    Pacbell dsl tells me that my minumum bandwidth that i should be getting is 384/128, down/up respectively... they allow up to 1.5 down, but the up stays at 128. I've never had a problem getting these speeds before!
    The only problem with them is that they block all of the alt.binaries in newsgroups, anybody know how to get around this or a free newsgroup to use?
