If you haven't yet already, go read Iain M. Banks' Feersum Endjinn. It's a real hoot once you get used to the phonetic writing style.

Heh:) I have 15 (now 25, I think?) Mbps cable through TekSavvy with no cap, running on Rogers' lines. I've heard good things about Shaw's cable offerings out West, but there's zero chance we'll get anything like that from Rogers in Ontario anyway.
No kidding. Back when classic Mac OS was around, it booted to a usable desktop faster than Windows did. So one of the big "improvements" for XP was to get the desktop open faster. Great, but it sure as hell wasn't usable for 20 to 60 seconds afterwards.
Heh, I learned AutoCad in the highschool drafting shop on a Heathkit Z80 PC. Later in 19th grade I sourced some superconducting material for a friends' Physics paper. Had no idea they only went OOB in 1991!
You still need to waste an hour to go to the post office and get it when there's nobody home to sign for the delivery. Compared to picking up a book at a Barnes & Noble store, it's more or less a wash.
Over here in civilization, it's a 10 minute walk to my nearest postal outlet to get packages, or I send them to my work address. An hour? Please.
Crockett and Tubbs luxury items were either seized from dealers they busted, or rented out by their department to create the facade of their being believable undercover men.

Long-term capital gains have to be much lower than income taxes or no sane investor would make long-term investments.
That's not what Warren Buffet says, and he's been in the game a very long time.
Why are Americans so fixated on the bogeyman of "double taxation" in the first place?
Maybe you just suck at playing it?
Well, at least it's not Sparta.
Except it's not 100% closed.
Boohoo, Netflix is still a friggin' bargain after the price bump.
Imagine 4 monopoles stacked along the edge of a cliff. Brain works the same way!
Dang. Those old Falcons are some of my favourite 60s cars.
Riiight. Because having Windows boot faster is *clearly* the only thing SSDs have going for them.
I think you just invented iOS :D

Pfft. The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one.
Is this supposed to tell me if I'm an art critic or a lesbian, Mr. Decker?
Ever seen "Moonraker"? This is exactly the same.
Most of Google Maps is aerial photography, not satellite.
Many miles away something crawls along the shore of a dark, Scottish loch.

I seriously doubt you'd notice anything missing between 1080p and 720p rips.
That's the great thing about Science: it's self-correcting.
Well, a lot of them DO have their high beams on, ALL THE GODDAMN TIME.
