  1. IP over FireWire? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I don't think I would pee over FireWire - the risk of electrical shock is just too great.

    Then i'd be happy.

    Before you reply here's my status on DSL.
    Symetric (SBC) is not available in my area.
    Enhanced (6mbps/384mbps) costs 180/mo (I pay
    80/mo as it is for my business class DSL)

    The router they made me over pay for ($378) is a piece of shit (needs turning off and restarting almost daily, this is a "solution" on their (SBC) website).

    Overall a real piece of shit service, but when you need a static IP Address it's one of the few ways to go in my area.

      Your post is so completely offtopic that its plaintive
      whimpering cry for help has been heard. A little
      blue fairy told me to instruct you:

      Write a letter to your state PUC and tell them you're
      moving to Korea.
