You would answer my question, but... hehehe... I will admit my error:
"no quakes that could be felt without using instruments whatsoever in four years"
as in... I could not feel any quakes in four years, but I guess people living in LA could. And I was in the center of one of the 23 seismic zones in my country. Ah, but if you'd like: 6 months after I moved back to Belo Horizonte, they registered an 2.9 richter quake in my old town. Yes, they do register one -- each 20 years.
Look up again the size, frequencyt and intensity of the seismic activity IN THE MENTIONED 23 areas. Ohh. BTW, I lived 4 years inside the Paraguaçu zone hehehe... in the city of Paraguaçu (the center of it) itself. And, guess what? No quakes whatsoever in four long years.
Just FYI, only 13, 14, and 17 (it's Paraopeba, not Paraopebas, and it's not close to Brasilia, it's even closer (200+km) to Belo Horizonte... where I do live now) are in the Basaltic plate.
Now, what earthquake weather? This is interesting, because I have never seen any reference to it.
So that you'll know: down here in Brasil we have a place called Planalto Central that has roughly the area of three to five Texas (it's basically one-third of our country, that in turn is bigger than continental US). It's one big arenite-basalt rock. No seismic earthquakes, the only (less than 3 richter) localized tremors are terrain accomodation, not seismic activity. No volcanos, no quakes. AT ALL.
1. Go check my posts, I am 34, married and father of a 5yo. 2. My nick is an abbreviation of my real name. 3. If some firm wants to advertise something, the advertised thing should be enforceable. 4. If an advertised business model does not work for you, don't advertise it. 5. Down here (Brasil) a 600k line is not cheap, so if I pay for it, I want it. 6. Shut the fsck up or post as a real person. 7. To the moderator (assuming it's not the same AC posting): Why is saying "I want to receive what I pay for" flamebait??
1. a lot of dinosaur fossils below an iridium-rich layer in the soil all around the globe. 2. iridium is usually only found in meteors. 3. no dinosaur fossils above the iridium-rich layer. 4. an enormous crater at Chicxulub, dated by scientific methods as being made out of a meteor impact in the same estimated date as the iridium-rich layer deposited all around the globe.
Connect the dots, use occam's razor, and please tell me your conclusions.
'consumer' ISPs don't really operate on the assumption that people paying for their service are going to max out their bandwidth. If every single customer an ISP had used the maximum advertised speed, it'd be pretty hard for anybody to do anything.
This is SO not my problem. The GP is right: they advertise my cable line as 600kbps, 24h/d and I *will* use 600kbps, 20h/d to my fullest capacity. When you buy something, you are entitled to that you bought. If the seller is advertising a service he cannot provide its NOT MY PROBLEM.
Obviously (I was ISP manager for 4 years) they can project average-use all they want, but they must take the heavy- (nicked devil- by BBY) users seriously. There is another point: heavy-users are normally opinion-formers... for each one of those you lose, you will lose other prospective users. I, for instance, know that if I dis-recommend an ISP in my town, 20 to 40 people will not sign up to it or even will get out of it. So, my ISP better treat me well. They don't allow incoming connections to 25, 80 and others, and it's all right -- it's in the contract I signed initially. But... if they start capping me below what I am entitled (600kbps), then they will take heavy damage.
Firmware is NOT linked with the linux kernel, so the GPL "mere aggregation" clause applies. Obviously, this is MHO, and this has already generated a LOT of debian-legal discussion.
To track unstable (like tracking -current in the *BSDs) _can_ give you some surprises, but rarely _does_. I use sid on my desktop since the time KDE wasn't in the distro (QPL problems). I haven't been bitten for some two years now.
I did once -- returning from a gf's home (10km/6mi away) at 4am -- sleep for a full kilometer (a full minute) in a straight avenue. It scared the bejeezus out of me when I woke up. Since that happened, I avoided driving asleep. I stop and take a nap in the rest areas or in a gas station at the first sign of sleepyness.
the US shouldn't have to be choosing between Worse and Worser. At least six candidates are needed to make a presidential election in a country as big as the USofA really representative, or even more, considering that voting is optional and that only circa 50% of the possible voters vote...
The Green party of the US is a great failure, yes, but because (1) voting is not mandatory and (2) people are taught since they are kids that you are either a democrat or a republican.

There you have it. Enjoy.

Software patents are RIDICULOUS and ABSURD. Write your congressperson.
Yes, they do run linux. And can you imagine the 100-satellite beowulf cluster they will form?

it's a computer, live in my car, was paid with my money? I can hack it. Indetectably.
You'll rev the odometer just before going to the dealer, so you'll sell a "gold condition" 10k mi car to him.
Simple, yet. You just put a tinfoil leave over the subdermal patch and leave the premises. The computer will still think you are inside.
There is no 2GB file size limit in linux for a long time, and I think NTFS also has a big max file size (64TB or so).
I must be very good, today.

even send in some links, so I can lazily NOT google for them... :-) please?

And, as a fellow 3650 user, I also know what I'm talking about.
If this thing was smaller it would be useless as a gaming/pda device.

YMMV HTH

She can tell when I'm lying 100% of the time....
they want to sell in Latin America. Down here in Brasil we have land lines everywhere.
as it's a good conductor and only one atom thick, it would be a better anti-mind-control hat than a tinfoil!

Isn't it the GIJ interpreter against the others?

It was the way you phrased it before that threw me in confusion... But... You can run Kopete under Cygwin/X.
