Um, yeah - that's because it's waaaaaaaay overpriced.
I think $20 more per month is a fair price for any extra 1mb, and with the top tier at 35mb its faster than any consumer will ever need! I love my triple lock-in play!
Meh, here in Finland I pay 29e/month for this (uncapped) and I live in a town of 10k people. If they tried to raise their prices they'd lose my business to any of the 4 competing ISP's.
There just aren't enough people who are trained and have these skills today.
Would that have something to do with the way YOU DONT ACTUALLY HIRE ANYONE WHO ISNT A CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL RIGHT OFF THE BAT?
Seriously, I'm working on my college degree and I cant even get an UNPAID internship without previous PAID WORK EXPERIENCE
Last time I was in a work interview it went fine up untill the point they asked about my previous job which I hadnt included in my CV because I dont have one (because I cant get hired).
After they find out I haven't had an actual job in the business the interview quickly goes the way of "we'll call you when we decide" which turns into -> "we have decided to pick someone with more experience" on follow-up call, regardless if Ive had the chance to show them my code portfolio ( do they think its not actually mine or what? )
Hobbies & actual skills dont seem to matter if you lack the "experience".
Propagation speed is affected by insulation, so that in an unshielded copper conductor ranges 95 to 97% that of the speed of light, while in a typical coaxial cable it is about 66% of the speed of light.[1]
The anti-European sentiment expressed by americans here is really sickening. Why is it every time there is a story about something positive in Europe, americans innate sense of cultural inferiority comes to the fore expressed as hate.
Well, the good thing is they seem to be the minority since they have to post as ACs or see their karma points turned into vapor.
They include a plan to develop digital guardian angels that would keep people safe from harm
So in other words... Track everyone everywhere at any given time and keep informed on what they and the ones around them are up to?
Given the track record of past human governments implementations of similar projects and more specifically what they do with the information I'd rather opt out of this one, even if it meant that, you know, I was responsible for me staying out of harms way.

I think the real outrage (in the US anyway) comes not from the strikes themselves, but rather that the average idiot (read: the general populace) believes that these drones truly operate autonomously.
I can see you have trouble placing yourselves in the position of the victims here; theyre going along with their business in their country that as far as they no have no active wars with anyone and suddenly out of the clear blue sky a hellfire missile strikes and kills 4/5ths of the clan during whatever social gathering they were there for; the survivors wont give a fuck what fired the missile and on top of that all the aggressors label all people killed in the strike as enemy combatants regardless of age or actual stance against the US and call it a day.
...Does the taliban present an existential threat to the US?
Why is it ok to label civilian casualties as 'enemy combatants' and 'continue your day as nothing went wrong and no apologies or reparations paid?
What does the history of war have anything to do with my main grievances? Am I stoopid to hold the 21st Century US fighting stone age goat herders in mountains to a higher standard than Nazi-Germany or Soviet Union?
'Oh, and I must have missed when US declared war on Pakistan, or Afghanistan Or Iraq for that matter...
What are you complaining about? You fed a straight line that could be anwsered with a direct quote. If you had any argument beyond that I think you would be brought it up by now.
the drones are included in the opening argument because as of now they are the main mains of delivery currently employed
Not so sure about that. Yes, the percentages are increasing drove v manned aircraft (flight hours and bombing missions). But the majority of actual bombing missions? I could be wrong, but gonna have to ask for a citation for that one.
They are the main ones we hear about, though.
...Mmmmm, you may have something there, but I cant come up with statistics with quick googling and pretty much the only US aerial attacks I've read about for pretty long while have concerned drone strikes, especially in Pakistan operated by the CIA I have made the assumption there are no conventional planes doing regular patrols/bombing runs.
Still, my main issue is with all the dead collateral labeled as enemy combatants and dogs, even when theyre clearly civilian casualties.
Dr. Julian Bashir, after expressing his disgust at the activities of Section 31, compared the Federation with a "24th Century Rome" in which laws were ignored out of a blind faith that "Caesar can do no wrong." (DS9: "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges")
From what I remember from my history classes it wasn't the bombings that brought Germany into its knees but being bled white in the eastern front against the Soviets with what was supposed to be a quick campaign.
Again, I fail to see how Total War waged over a possible nuke in the German industrial pipeline has any bearing over throwing JDAM's through smokestacks of goatherders in Stoneagistan, its not like they pose an existential threat to the US.

Just out of curiosity, which ISP are you with? How do you get almost 200Mbps down for only 29e? DNA offers 200M for 55e according to this http://www2.dna.fi/fi/yksityisille/laajakaista/
DNA Joint subscriber cable(free up to 2mb/s), bandwidth guarantee for paid upgrades.

Make it so.
You should hand in your Geek card. It was that pussy Picard who used that phrase.
Atleast Picard has experience of dealing with omniscient and omnipotent beings without getting his crewmembers killed for no good reason.
Also, Picard DOES know how to play hard-ball, when the situation calls for it.
