  1. Re:waves of infection with stupidity on Ponzi Schemes Multiply On YouTube · · Score: 1

    Lol, penrose baby. Had an old boss man try one of the gifting scheme on me. He pulled out this diagram, which was an upside down pyramid and started talking. I told him no way it was a pyramid scheme, and he actually said "No." and turned the diagram upside down, making it into a pyramid, and said "This is a pyramid, what I am offering is not see?" and flipped the paper back around. Few years later he bought a used CAT diesel generator, that was about the size of a small car, and close to 10K in food and supplies for Y2K. Funny thing was he lived in a neighborhood with all the houses close together, he had a generator and all these supplies, but no firearms. Fucking idiot he is.

    Wrong. Bandwidth is very much available, if the companies would upgrade their routers and modems, or better yet, run fiber to the homes instead of pocketing absurd profits every year, along with taking money to upgrade their systems from the taxpayers of the USA and then sticking it in their pockets instead of doing as they were supposed to. It costs TWC approximately $.016 per GB they move from their lines onto the backbone providers, yet they want to charge us $1.00 per GB. This is the internet, not trucks or trains. It does not take more fuel or more wear and tear on machinery to move 10GB as opposed to moving 5GB. So the only added cost to TWC is the $.016 it costs per extra GB. Ripoff is what it is. I support the free market, yet in America there is no real free market for internet. Each community, if they are lucky, will have two high speed providers, cable and DSL, and the cable is an actual government sanctioned monopoly. The state of the lines in America is absurd also.I ran over 5 miles of fiber for the NCDOC, working at laying 4" PVC conduit and pulling the fiber by hand with myself and a helper as the only two people working. Working just a couple of hours a day( I had other duties) and burying it six feet deep with 4'x4'x4' concrete junction boxes every 400'. It took us about 4 months to get it all the conduit and boxes in place and two days to pull the fiber. I did not hook the fiber up. Now if two idiots (I had never used a backhoe before I started this project, nor pulled fiber and my helper was not very bright)could do this in 4 months, how much could professionals lay in a 4 month period working 8 hour days? The whole capping thing is a way for TWC to stop people like me from refusing to buy their cable programing and digital phone services.

    TWC is not going to charge him the same price, they are going to charge him more. Point is they advertised 'x" speeds up and "y' speeds down and implied if not stated that connection was always on and it was unlimited. And TWC and the other telcos and cable companies got a bunch of money to upgrade speed and service areas and did not, pocketing tax dollars. Fuck them, I would like to see TWC and the rest of the cable companies and telecos seized and sold at auction to someone who would realize that service and product is worth money, while crappy service and shitty product is not worth money. And for the person who was wondering, most cable companies are monopolies in the US of fuckin A.

    Lol, I started to do that, but the fuckers put the filter up on the pole. Do you know how difficult it is to put a 24' ladder up on the pole, take their filter down, cut it apart with a bandsaw, jerk the guts, and put a piece of cable with female ends on it and the add connectors onto the pieces of wires, then glue the fucker back together with liquid nail and screw the wires on? I don't know myself, but I would guess it would take approximatively 1.25 hours if you knew what you were doing. And as an added bonus, from ground level using a pair of binoculars, it looks just like a standard filter installation, at least I figure it would.

    I don't have the right to download over priced and crappy movies for free? You mean it is illegal for me to download a movie and if it is good, go buy a copy, and if it sucks, don't? Even when the same movie, with some editing is broadcast over the air on network TV? Or I can't download music that I could legally tape from radio? That is what is retarded and stupid about copyright. I will say programs and games are a different thing, but music, books and movies, along with TV shows are freely available via radio, TV and libraries, so what is the problem or difference between me taping a song from my digital radio and downloading a copy from the intertubes?
