I figure that the rollout of FIOS is one of the primary reasons for this increase.

No, because I can't be arsed to spend the $50 a year for Live Gold when I can just play games on my computer for free. And this is definitely a game I'd want to play online.
I did a part time computer repair business for a few months, and I still dabble in it. Dells were loaded with proprietary bullshit and broke down left and right. Probably 60-70% of my calls were Dell desktops and a couple of laptops.
Dell's quality control has been shit for the last 5 years now.
You should watch the movie "Who Killed The Electric Car". There were already electric light trucks. They just mysteriously "vanished" a few years back. |=
Conversely, a mechanic and a surgeon are sitting in a bar. The mechanic says, "Hey doc, I do the same stuff you do. I take apart the valves and parts of this engine and when I'm done it works like new. Why is it you get paid so much more than I do when we're basically doing the same work?" The surgeon put down his drink, turned to the mechanic and said, "Try doing that with the engine running."
I *do* live in Newark, and I'd much rather the officers monitoring the camera are on the street instead of sitting behind a desk. A camera can't save your life.
Even though I live in the "nice" part of town, the worse parts of town do tend to have people with cars who like to rob the people who actually have things like jobs, money, etc.
Yeah, so that's a... ~0.00284% failure rate. That's amazingly good IMO.
BTW, does anyone know the Alt+Numpad code in Windows for the "about equals" sign? (The one that is a squiggly =, or two ~ stacked on top of one another like some hot font lovin'.)
Oh, you were talking about a ring. Yeah, your idea sounds good.
(But seriously, Jonathan Coulton does some lovely songs that are both geeky and romantic, and I'm sure he'd be worth every penny. Write him a nice e-mail about it.)

I just wish people would take a lesson from the Defcon badges and make stuff that encourages hacking.
(In before "Windows crap security encourages hacking" jokes.)
"Cars that drive themselves" won't arrive as a new option in model year 20XX.
Besides, by that time we'll have to worry about Dr. Wily and fighting robots.
I don't think there were as many people enslaved or killed over the color of their hair as there were the color of their skin.
He's a Hairist! Shun! Shuuuuuun!
No lions around, it seems!

The XBox's game library is absolutely miserable, and always has been.
These are by no means all exclusives, but I'd like to counter that with:
GTA4
Viva Pinata
Assassin's Creed
Bioshock
Call of Duty 4
Devil May Cry 4
F.E.A.R.
Gears of War
Final Fantasy XI
Guitar Hero/Rock Band etc.
I'm just gonna stop there.
So it really is something in the way she moves.

Sadly, they already have your money now and don't particularly care whether or not you play it.
Hm, I did:
100 / 35214 = 0.00283977blahblahblah
Ah, you're right. I did forget to move the decimal point over. Still, a 0.284% failure rate is really good!
Unsurprisingly, my math failure rate is actually much higher than that.

I live in Newark. I'm fortunate enough to live in the nice part of town.
Cameras won't help for shit when the police ignore blatant evidence. Thankfully things do seem to be turning around a good lot.
Falcon PUUUUUUNCH
Fixed that for you.
...until someone patents the default scroll for a mouse wheel?
This is like someone patenting a steering wheel.
...someone already patented the steering wheel, didn't they? |=
6-hit Internet pwnage combo with a roman cancel. GG
You'd think someone with that much money in the bank would be treated a little better by the bank.
He should cut his losses and threaten to take his money elsewhere - see if they change their minds. And if they don't, then go elsewhere.

All good reads, if you haven't checked them out... and all very valid complaints!
They started out this way. I guess they've come full circle!
I don't believe in any sort of religious philosophy, but I do respect the wisdom of Jesus' teachings.
Now if only all of the people who purported to be Christians actually read and followed them. |=
