Thanks. I have been arguing with them that the problem is on their end for weeks. They say that the mtr results are normal. I am not a tech, so I do not know exactly how to word my responses. What is the proper way to word my complaint, along with that mtr output?
The ISS is slowed by atmospheric drag, so it must be reboosted every so often. This maneuver cancels out a reboost effort, so that reboost effort, and this manwuver, were just a waste of fuel.
AIDS was a breakdown of the immune system because of [snip] and the generally unhealth lifestyle of the gay community. Until they isolated a virus.
No, that was GRIDS, the Gay Related Immunodeficiency Syndrome. Only after the virus was discovered was the relation to IV drug use made, and was then termed AIDS.
Since you buy a computer to run applications, not operating systems, shouldn't you expect that most of your resources are going to the applications?
It seems like people are now getting used to the idea that every new computer needs 4GB RAM, so to starve off Moore's law for the benefit of the hardware manufacturers, MS makes sure that people will now need 8GB of RAM. And faster processors, and more disk space, ad nauseum.
What does MS get from the hardware manufacturers in return? Have you tried to use a broadcom chipset, or a webcam, or anything else relatively new with Linux? Now you know why they don't work.
What possible need is there for 171 threads in a web browser unless it has like 50 tabs open?
Each tab may have as many as 50 items on it. The HTML webpage calls 10 Javascript files, 5 CSS files, and another 35 images. That's rather common, and rendering each one could very well be another process.

They're not building the whole thing, but it's a bit more than just a rebranding. They're using Webkit (Safari, Konqueror) rather than Gecko (Firefox), but adding a new Javascript engine and UI, and building in Google Gears.
It's only available as an RPM package (not even source is available yet) so I had to convert it to.deb with alien. It installed fine, but it really seems like Firefox with a screwed up theme. I can't get the tab bar back where it belongs, and regular Firefox extensions won't install. The keyboard shortcuts only work on the Latin keyboard layout, and it seems to render pages really slow, like see-the-letters-appear-on-screen slow. At least it's not crashing like Firefox 3 does!
Of course you pay more for service but you get lower latency,...
I suspect that I have a problem with latency because all my pageloads take a _long_ time but download speedometers show that I am getting the 1.5MB line that I pay for. Also, on my Skype calls I hear the other party fine, but they hear me all broken up.
How does one verify latency? Does this seem reasonable:

No, it was me posting at an hour that I should have been sleeping. The only other English word that I know that begins with two "a"'s is the name Aaron, which is a Hebrew name.
Gmail isn't perfect at filtering spam. I've received 35,214 spam messages in the last month. I estimate that Gmail failed to filter around 100 of them.
That's a 0.3% failure rate. My wife was good enough to marry, but she's no 9.997- still good enough for me.

All joking aside, does anyone else get the feeling they're changing the definition of a sunspot just so they can claim it was a spotless month?
Sure, companies cook the books all the time. Why should Sun be any different? A spotless month sounds great to shareholders.

1) Aren't Christians waiting for the Messiah to return? Serious question, I thought that they are.
2) I'm not Christian!
After rebooting everything:

Actually, this really sucks because the rockets were used to LOWER the ISS. What a waste. I wonder how much warning they get before estimated impact.
What the world needs today is a strong leader, not a follower. Wake me up when the Messiah arrives.

I ran mtr to see if the problem is my router or my ISP, how does this look:

Sorry for the use of pastebin, but the lame /. filter won't let me post the mtr output here.

Have you been saving that up in some kind of .txt file, waiting for your chance at first post?
Anyone who gets fr1st ps0t is a troll. Trolls are evil. Microsoft is evil. Microsoft makes MS Office. MS Office saves as .docx as default.
Obviously, that was save in a .docx file, not a .txt file.
No, it was me posting at an hour that I should have been sleeping. The only other English word that I know that begins with two "a"'s is the name Aaron, which is a Hebrew name.
The wife is right. I'm not funny.
Thanks, I did not know that.
Here, I added to the Mythbusters page as well:

The aardvark is. Where do you think the double "a" came from?

Yeah, you seem to be lacking a little aptitude; but take heart, it's not like you're speaking pidgin or anything. Your post has clearly evinced this.
HA HA HA. wtf, I kill myself.
Oh, that's terrible. I'm sure that someone will give you a good bashing for that. Or maybe even the finger.
