Sorry to burst your bubble chuck but apple products aren't just over priced, they are well engineered. So your low rent 500 buck pc was a keeper. So what? I still see plenty of cheap bare bones and name brand computers that give it up after a year or less. So you lucked out with a car. You think that's a model t your driving. Plenty of mistakes were made and corrected to help make your lovely mass produced dodge last so long. As far as I know NASA has never lost someone through a malfunction of the suits they deployed. I'm sure you can name your dodge make and model and easily find someone who thinks its the biggest deathtrap since the pinto. There are limits and problems with cheaper. Can they afford to make it cheaper until it becomes as reliable? Not with our sue first society.
the self-appointed protector of the newspaper industry, has left the newspaper industry with less copyright protection than if they never filed their lawsuits at all."
Ive often thought copyright trolls are our only hope of defeating the current copyright situation. They will let their greed make them look bad. Their perception of "hey we can get all these people to fork over their assets cause the law is on our side". I imagine all these trolls begin somewhat close to the major copyright organizations. either they got sued, or learned how to sue people based on what the mpaa and the riaa have done.
Face it. As soon anything from disney starts to get near entering the public domain they are going to bribe(lobby) anyone they have to in order to get it extended. I don't even care to remember how long they get their copy rights for now. Both parties will probably agree to something before they let it get put into the public domain.
No we don't oversell capacity. We don't want to top out. But a new thing has came in and it isn't helping. I said this in another post but you better get ready guys. If things keep going the way they have expect to pay more. The net here in Arkansas needs many more connects. not enough hubs screwed up routing and no clear standards of operation. AT&T is itself is composed of all its re-acquisitions. Ameritech and some other I can't remember the name of are who we deal with here in Arkansas. It was the same people I always talk to until one day the bills arrived AT&T. They don't communicate with each other that well it seems. They have few resources down here and are not investing in any real upgrades. We have upgraded the bandwidth here to keep a little buffer. Now we need a whole oc3 to even out. This has happened in less than two years. You gripe at all the big company's but you don't want to pay more. File sharers who won't buy a DVD in the five dollar markdown bin are usually the ones who complain the most. I have spent my last 2 months trying to fix this nightly suck and have concluded that its netflix or the rest of my customers. But since i can't charge netflix I guess ill have to charge our customers to pay for it. if i give them more they just will download at a higher res. and from that purty graph that the article had I don't have a chance.
There would have to be some serious peering/colo for any isp to be able to provide that. We will have to raise our rates. All of us have to raise our rates. We simply have more people using it than we used to. Even two years ago our little isp didn't ever top out our 45 meg connection. Today we have upgraded two two times and still have major loads during the evening. I am the one man tier2 at this company. I hear a lot of people upset that they can't get the supermega(tm) stream from nexflix. We also sell media(tv). You can asume that the telcos and backbone providers will be the only ones who will profit by this. I would also really love to crash netflix by giving them what they want im betting they couldn't handle giving all their customers that speed.

When your pc quits you can still breath.
Rarely are the two the same thing.
Into Nancy Grace?
second so what?
Not in the land of the fee and the home of the easy payment plan. Most any other industrialized country, just not here.
They can't compromise. Its like watching children argue. They only unite to give themselves a raise.
There is nothing left to do but raise your price. All hail our lord increased profits.
My fav is when the sexy unreal 2004 voice say 'Holy Shit'. Sounds like she is creaming herself.
I will wait until they have some sort of standard or at least a winner.
Script replaces you.

Maybe they would mow the lawn or get off it at least.
I kinda down on sony after that last article. Go team karma!
I quit in the secand gwade you insenssitive clod's

step one don't piss off your admin. Step two Don't Piss off your Admin
As a side note a good step three is the have a co admin who hates the admin that works well and is mostly entertaining to the bystanders.

Carlin as the architect. Missy as the Oracle.
I was going for flamebait.
Assange is looking more like a media whore everyday.
