Maybe I'm not an asshat to your definition then. You don't need to upload anything to use Bittorrent and Netflix, and game, and all the other stuff we all do. I just happen to expect to be able to use my connection. The only upload I do is when I connect to my home server from other locations, but that is not even statistically significant.
I do however saturate my download link at times, and I expect to be able to do that as I have paid for a connection that was advertised as unlimited at a specific rate.
I assume you weren't working for a BIG ISP, the ratios quoted in the article relating to the big guys is 40:1 - 100:1. I think it is absolutely absurd to oversell to this point, but that is what many of the big guys do. I will make an exception for Verizon FiOS however, as from personal experience, I have never seen less then my advertised 25 Mbps, so they must not be overselling to this level.
The article even quotes numbers on this. In your example it works out to the ISP having one 5 Mbps connection for 40-100 users, this is where the whole claim of unlimited totally falls apart.
Every car I have bought has had 50 state emissions controls. I don't know if this is true anymore. Perhaps you were thinking of cars imported from other countries?
The army corps is not responsible for the levees, there are state agencies for this. The state agencies decided it wasn't worth spending money on. It is not the president's job to hover over the states to make sure they get their jobs done, it is his job to run the entire country, not Louisiana.
Maryland doesn't have most of those, Blizzards and Ice Storms being the only ones on your list I can think of. Those however are handled pretty efficiently.
I believe that ATT themselves consider Edge to be 2.5G, that is what they advertise it as. I would personally say that the speed is more then enough on Verizon, but I'm not goofy about my phone usage and trying to turn it into a TV, so I could be unusual.

Same experience here from FiOS, but I pay the same for 24 Mbps.

Most MD cops are also not jerks, being from MD, I can't personally say this, but the observation has been made by out of staters to me.
Wow, a post commenting about moderation that is moderated Redundant, that is rather funny.
Lately? I think this has always been an issue with /.
no, pagers are MUCH older then cell phones.
My guess is I am a federal law enforcement officer, as LEO is law enforcement officer.
Frankly I think being forced to use Yahoo or Bing would be a appropriate punishment.

The army corps warned the state and local government in the 1960s that the levees were inadequate. The state and local governments ignored them.

Well, when Bell was split up it became Verizon, so I guess you have two monopolies beating their heads against each other there.
Thank you for your grammar mistakes in calling me an idiot.
Nice job.
But it supports DX10, and that is the big deal.
Very true. I have had to deal with some of these max length cards, it is definitely not a AMD or NVIDIA problem, it is a case manufacturer problem.
Agreed on the Windows comment. I have had no end of trouble with ATI hardware under Windows. I refuse to buy from them anymore.
I play many games on my IPS screen. Are you speaking from experience or just making it up?
The difference is in the summary. The mainstream media is picking the story up finally. No wonder traditional media is having so many problems.
So, you then post anonymously expecting that they don't know exactly who posted it?
