saw what happened to my dad because he saved almost no money for retirement. He became destitute. Now I see my brother following the same path towards retirement without savings; he'll end up just like dad. - I prefer to follow the path of frugality, so that when I retire I'll have between 1 and 2 million dollars and can enjoy my old age without worrying how I will pay the rent or electric bill.
I've recently seen the case of the parents of a friend of mine who saved 2-3 million dollars for their retirement.
And are now destitute.
Sucks to have your retirement invested in citibank.
Depending on the server I'm connecting to I get between 12 and 30 mbps up and 25 and 100 mbps down on FIOS without my neighbors interfering with my speed during the day. Can you say the same on ADSL2+?
That's rather good. So the "35" means what exactly? Not mbps for sure.
(By the way "without my neighbors interfering with my speed during the day" is true for ADSL too. Only cable or wifi have problems with neighbours.)

Ok, now I understand.
Annexe B specifies how to run ADSL on copper that is also running ISDN (base rate) - it runs "ADSL over ISDN" in the same sense that annexe A runs "ADSL over voice". the difference between annexe A and B is which frequencies are avoided by the ADSL connection.

The ITU G.992.1 Annex B ADSL standard specify the ADSL modulation that works over ISDN. It's quite "recent", from 2005.
That's totaly bizzare.
In my experience ISDN is run over copper pairs - often usimg DSL as the modulation (2mbps SDSL for a primary rate line). How the hell do you run ADSL over a slow digital line?
I think you'll find that in it's niche market the more powerful hardware platform and ease of use of the Sybian devices is much appreciated. As for reaming, Apple and Steve just aren't up to it.
Nuclear power capacity worldwide is increasing steadily but not dramatically, with over 50 reactors under construction in 13 countries. [...]
In Finland, construction is now under way on a fifth, very large reactor which will come on line in 2012, and plans are firming for another large one to follow it.
France is building a similar 1600 MWe unit at Flamanville, for operation from 2012, and a second is to follow it at Penly.
Slovakia is completing two 470 MWe units at Mochovce, to operate from 2011-12.
In Russia, six large reactors are under active construction, one being a large fast neutron reactor.
South Korea plans to bring a further eight reactors into operation by 2016, giving total new capacity of 9200 MWe. Of the first six, now under construction, four are improved OPR-1000 designs.
Japan has one reactor under construction
In China, now with eleven operating reactors on the mainland, the country is well into the next phase of its nuclear power program. Some 22 reactors are either under construction or likely to be so by the end of 2009.
On Taiwan, Taipower is building two advanced BWRs at Lungmen.
India has six reactors under construction and expected to be completed by 2010.
Pakistan has a second 300 MWe reactor under construction at Chasma,
In Iran nuclear power plant construction was suspended in 1979 but in 1995 Iran signed an agreement with Russia to complete a 1000 MWe PWR at Bushehr. Construction is well advanced.

I think the problem is that we're not talking about the output of a model here. We're talking about a basic fact that should be easy to determine by simply looking it up.
Well, there's your problem, right there.
They did look it up. In an official dutch government document in fact.
The source was wrong. That's what happens when you look things up.
The Himalayan glacier error was horrible, not because they made a mistake, but because of where they got the information. Same thing with the Amazon rainforest error.
The glacier prediction was incorrect (or rather a correct quote of a source that was incorrect).
The Amazon rainforest statement was a correct citation of a source that correctly quoted a peer reviewed paper.

oh, that joke.
thanks for the explanaition.
are you german?
Like I said, 25mbps is not much faster than a good ADSL+ line.
25mbps is not much faster than 20mbps. It's only around twice as fast as 12mbps.
(What do you mean by ADSL over ISDN?)
Well, yes, I was.
Didn't know they were selling that in the UK.
Get a lot of Verizon FiOS installations in the UK?
So, like I said, your ADSL line is a little bit slower than his "masses of bandwidth" FiOS line at 25mbps.
Symbian owns 0% of the feature phone market. Nokia feature phones run S40 (or even S30), which is not Symbian.
Maybe you want to look for a better ADSL provider. 25mbps is not much faster than a good ADSL2+ line.
What joke?
Expanding foam. You want him to use expanding foam to make a "sustainable" building.
Bzzzzt. Next player please.
So, pray tell, what exactly is the "latest smartphone-ish stuff"?
wooosh!
check spelling.
very few sybian machines can run flash.

I'd recommend Al Jazeera.
(It's also almost the only news channel to do decent documentary work about the USA).
WTF?

Within the limits agreed by society.
Big fucking deal, France can build a 1.6Gwe nuke plant for EUR 4 billion. (Well, it'll probably cost a bit more in the end, but doesn't everything.)
Oh yeah, 'cos nuke plants are built by environmentalists, right.
Well, there's your problem, right there.

Sez you.

Sturgeon says 90% of everything is crap.
Of course by saying "everything" he includes the 10%
So 99% of everything is crap.
or, to put it another way, 99.9%
99.99

oh fuck it. it's all crazp
