Sacrificial Broadband?

Posted by Cliff on from the who-needs-lent? dept.

BitGuy asks: "SBC's VP of Network Engineering reckons that 78% of broadband users would give up their daily newspaper instead of living without their broadband connection (hmm, being a broadband user, I don't need a newspaper), and 63% said they'd give up their morning coffee (the freaks!). Personally I'd rather give up watching TV - what would the rest of Slashdot give up to keep your real sweet net access?"

  1. What to Sacrifice by Treeluvinhippy · · Score: 1, Troll

    Archeologists belive the Aztecs commited ritual human sacrice to postpone the end of the world.

    Maybe if we take all the worthless people (McDonalds Managers, all the Democrats, every Republican over the age of twenty-five, pedophiles and those guys who host religous programming on public access) and commit ritual human sacrifice for ping times.

    As proof of concept that Human Sacrifice works I would like to point out that the world hasn't ended yet.
