That unscheduled maintenance is most likely "drunk driver ran over the green box down the street." Or it is here, in RoadRunner land... but I have no complaints about RoadRunner, and I see plenty of people with complaints about Comcast.
The 'Dark Ages' is an expression that came into use during the Enlightenment to refer to the period in Europe after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, during which open-mindedness, literacy, learning, and optimism gave way to Christian religious fundamentalism and the belief that the Second Coming was at hand. Intellectual pursuits were primarily theological in nature.
I wouldn't call it a rock solid source, but it pretty well meshes with what I learned in history class, and its the best I could do on no notice.
When the cable was deployed also makes a big difference for smaller markets. My parents are served by Time-Warner, out in the sticks. The cable went in about 10 years ago, as I understand it AFTER the FCC required full-duplex wiring. I have friends served by Comcast, 5 miles south of the parents, also in the sticks. They had cable for much longer, since before the requirements changed.
My parents got RoadRunner years before Comcast rolled out their internet service in that area, and I have friends who live in bigger markets that STILL can't get cable internet, also served by Comcast. Is it because of hardware limitations, or a lack of desire on the part of the cable company vs. AOL-TW to get everyone a fat pipe?
Last time I was in Vegas someone hit a progressive slot jackpot near the table I was at. The pit boss told me that when they pay out somthing large enough to be reportable, they come out with the relevant IRS paperwork before they pay you. I imagine they would do something like this at the cage when cashing a large amount of chips.
I think it totally depends on the folks working there. I have a habit of ignoring the damn sensormatic thing if it goes off on me, and I had three guys stand screaming at me in the doorway last time I did this. Fuck 'em. I know I didn't steal anything, they will have a physical inventory and figure it out, too.
There was that one Futurama where Fry drank 100 cups of coffee in one day... the passage of time slowed down for him like you would not belive, so maybe 6 cups just adds 2 hours.
And we all realize that shit like this fucks over moderators when it comes up for meta-modding.
"Why was this (apparently) well written and informative post modded down? Unfair!" And the moderator then looses karma. Its one of the reasons I stopped modding. I was one of the original 400 or whatever moderators, and I hardly ever do it now when I have the points.
Then they end up on some sort of miracle anti-depressant, lifted and tucked to hell, at my current place of employment, and my cow-orkers drool at them. I wish trophy wives ended up mounted above the fireplace like any other god damned animal.
That's nice. The world in general doesn't care about your tastes, however. And we especially don't want to be bothered by pollsters just because you want us to.
As another person who has his own tastes, I say good! The fewer people who take surveys and polls the better! That makes my responses stand out more, your apathy is appreciated.
I think that live free or die doesn't go far enough! It should be live free AND die... i want it both ways! The freedom to kill is the 0th Amendment to the motherfucking constitution, and when some bastard tries it out on me, I will try it out on him! Law of the fucking wild! Kill 'em all, and then cook the corpses! Feed the hungry by killing the stupid! Afraid of speeders? Fuck you! Drive faster than them! Homicidal gun toting guy behind you? Oil slick! Innocent third parties? No such thing! You're alive, you are NOT innocent! It's on the arch above the inside of your mom's vagina: "Welcome to life on Earth. watch your ass."

One of the first things your modem does when it comes up is hit their TFTP server for a config file.
See here.
that post made my day. one less third party driver for me to use.
ThinkGeek had/has a t-shirt that says "No, I will not fix your computer."
I damn near wore mine out around blaster season.

Enjoy.

If you are ripping PPV, then you don't have to get up off your fat pirate ass.

Just like the science that was left over from Rome? The years following weren't called the dark ages for nothing.
Then get off the computer and join the fucking Peace Corps.
Buy a quarter, break it up, sell it. Keep part for yourself. Voila, reeferal paybacks.

Looks like a German dental tool.

Most casinos consider chips to be their property, so taking them home would be frowned upon.

Not exactly great advice... when you do get caught it will be for armed robbery, and the fuzz cares a bit more about crimes involving weapons.
...looked just like my breakfast: Alphabits.

I was just looking at getting Vonage this very afternoon. They claim to route your 911 calls to the correct place based upon information you give.

To quote myself at work, when the dress code comes up: "You fuckers are lucky I wear clothes at all."
You are born naked, and if you time things correctly, you will die naked!
DVD++ and ++DVD? Let us not forget DVD-- and --DVD! Twice as many layers means twice as many competing and wholly functional alternate formats.

Who decided that human lives are worth saving?
