10kV pulse? Over a phone line, or what? I missed a lot of this technology (My first connection was a 33k USR parallel port modem) but I am still curious.
I'm pretty sure that the "computers" you're talking about in simple devices didn't have anything removed. You're talking as if they took an x86 machine and stripped it down to run the timer for a microwave. That's not quite how it's done.
You really think those problems didn't exist? Why we went there isn't the point, the point is that their country was fucked before we ever did anything there at all.
I understand that hating america is the cool, popular thing now (Even for americans) but at least throw some fact in there.
Even on EDGE (T-Mobile) the speed is more then enough for basic tasks. (IM, IRC, email, weather, checking slashdot... Not likely to get first post though... )

Wow. Thank you.
Ping and Latency are the same thing.
Anyone know if that's a limitation of CDMA or just Verizon's network?
My only CDMA device is a cellular modem card from sprint and it's not quite possible to use that for voice calls. :P

He's trying to be a pretentious douche by misspelling the Polish word "Wódka*".
I suppose I shouldn't say "trying" because he is doing just fine at that.
(Let's hope this unicode works, preview says it should.)

I've honestly never seen an 800MB patch for OS X.
Your power runs 110Hz.
Your DSL runs at.... 3000000Hz. And is bi-directional.
What.
The reasons why I left Verizon for T-Mobile keep coming and coming.
They do the same thing here in the US. It's pretty ridiculous.

When people decide to be atheist, where is it in the agreement they they have to be so damn full of them selves? I think I missed that part.
Christmas was only a "christian" holiday for a short time after the catholic church took it. It lost that meaning long ago.
PS, Saying "xtians" makes you sound like a pompous cunt.
True that.
I've honestly found that all browsers suck. Opera and Chrome are the least annoying, imo.
I don't see any buzzwords. Maybe "speed dial" Maybe.
But that's not really a buzzword.
Only if Samantha Carter is driving.
I was thinking of mentioning something about solar flares in my original comment, but lack of sleep/caffeine prevented me from thinking of a good one.
I have to deal with Verizon as an ISP here for a few of my clients. I can't recall all the times a Verizon screwup has caused problems for me.
Thank you Verizon, always looking out for what's best for us.
Yet another reason why I left Verizon for T-Mobile.
I guess I normally don't associate "dialing" with time travel.
It's not nice to call someone communist just because they made a mistake in typing. :(

9/11 is a date.
911 is a phone number.
I like how everyone in this thread completely missed the point.
