I was wondering about that. But, that is terrible. How much do you pay for that? I've got 50 down and 25?up for $50 per mo and it is good enough for my purposes. But it is crazy how much prices and speeds vary depending on region, ISP etc.
I'm currently developing an entirely new communication system that will revolutionize life as we know it. It consists of an intricate web of wires and pulleys, and most important of all, smoke and hidden mirrors. It will be free to all. The only thing necessary will be the continual working of the bellows and operation of the treadmill. For an extra fee, if you are fortunate enough to dwell close to running water, my company will install a water wheel. State taxes may apply.
Our Scandinavian friends continually remind us that they have extensive broadband with high speeds even in remote areas with low population density. Are they lying? I can't see any reason that they would.
My take on it is that the US on the whole has a short term ghetto mentality when it comes to future planning. Profit NOW! Invest in the future? No, that is socialism. Profit NOW!!! Meanwhile we pay plenty of tax that we see little 'benefit' from apart from the basic crumbling infrastructure, huge military (benefit? hah!) and...I can't think of anything else.
The fact the Brits are potentially implementing this might be commendable if it weren't for the fact that they are currently in the toilet due to their own population's and politician's idiocy (not unlike the US) but the 2033 goal seems very much a matter of, we have no idea what we are talking about, or how to do it, we'll get back to you. Best we dump this on a future government. Bye.
Strange how so called first world countries are so slow in initiating programmes that could be implemented really quickly if the powers that be actually thought them important. But no, corporate profit and military spending above all. Forget about affordable housing, a decent minimum wage, health insurance etc. I know we're talking about the y(U)c(K) here, but isn't it pretty much the same story the world over?
All the trash goes in wherever in whatever bin. I have given up trying to be the good tenant because my landlord doesn't seem to give a shit. In my previous apartment I was blamed for other tenants putting the wrong stuff in the wrong bins. I wish people would make up their minds. these days I really don't give a shit about the whole recycling thing because no one else around me seems to care. I hope the coming generations enjoy living on top of smoldering landfills with plastic choked oceans encircling them. Bah.
But if they had intended it to mean Indians from India, sadly, there would be plenty of people on/. who would have no problem with the use of the words.
Hey everyone. Did you hear the news? William Shatner is getting married to Stevie Nicks? When asked if she would be keeping her name or not, a close friend said 'Stevie Shatner-Nicks'.
Thanks. I'll see if I can do a download now, install later and stick with El Capitan for now. We are facing a major upgrade to all software at work. Problem is, management just doesn't get the fact that most of the computers are just too old to be fit for purpose and there is not sufficient budget to replace them! Not my problem as I'm not in IT, but the IT guy is well pissed off. He has been told 'well, you'll just have to figure it out'. I really hate my boss!
Totally forgot about them. Sure, some useful little tools for some people, but really they are small potatoes. That said, this guy is somewhat right in what he says but my 2009 and 2011 iMacs are running fine. My only concern (and a big one too) is that at some point a future OS upgrade will not be compatible with the aging computers. That I why I avoid upgrading the OS.

That'll keep you regular.

You were close, but I beat you to it!
I think you will find that the fight you have described is a bipartisan effort that benefits no one.

Last time I looked, rivers contain water. The Tiber is a river. It flows through Rome. Rome is built around a river.
Disney World IS a terrible place. I have been there. Not a single positive memory of the experience.

Wasn't Nelson famous for saying 'kiss me, Hardy' or 'kismet, Hardy' as some would have it?
He should have fired her and then they could resume their relationship. Problem solved!

Just that.
Details please. What browsers can you not install in iOS?
Allude doesn't mean what you think it means, AC. Using it does not make you seem clever.
anyway, the correct word is steal, not rob. You rob someone, steal something.
No! The words are pronounced upside down!

Just had to ask.
