Again, note that I did not explicitly say it would not be close to impossible to broadcast nipples or the word "fuck" on TV. I just said there was no law on the books about it.
Keep in mind there aren't laws against showing nipples or saying the word "fuck" on broadcast TV, IIRC.
Is this what passes for a story nowadays?

I mean, come on; I like Al just as much as the next guy, but wow.... a front page story to this story, which has very little on Al or his career? Given, it does have some highlights....

... how long it takes a specific piece of data to transit the network (which is a straight measurement of time), but that's neither here nor there.
*snicker*
If it's the endpoints where the data is coming from/going to that concerns you, then it truly is here and there...
I switched to Broadvoice > a year ago, and since my initial set of frustrating problems, they've been great to do business with.
One bonus - they have integrated voicemail. Now when I first signed up, I was thinking of putting up my own Asterisk box etc. but I haven't gotten around to that. I was overjoyed to find that their integrated voicemail allows you to change the # of rings until pick-up to 6!!!
Man, that's nice. If I could only get my cell # to do the same.... I find sometimes that the delay between opening the phone or my BT headset accepting the call, it also dumps to voicemail.
Adjusting sound quality != QOS, BTW: What you're probably doing is adjusting the codec used to encode the voice data (some common ones off the top of my head are G.711 and G.729 - I believe.711 is 64kbit, and 729 is 8kbit, and I can tell a difference...)
In addition, even if you're attempting to use QOS on their equipment, the Comcast network probably ignores it anyways. They wouldn't have any reason to prioritize Vonage traffic - the only downfall is that they could possibly degrade your service if they wanted to; but I would think they (Comcast) wouldn't stoop THAT low.
Haha, look at these silly network admins trying to track down the problem! They'll are overhelmed and unable to respond!
I realize your post is somewhat in jest, but it's easier to find a rogue arp cache poisoner than it is to find a pirate radio station. At least, for those of us with more knowledge of networks than radio frequency triangulation...

Bad vision and anything much faster than walking will be a danger to those who are walking around. Of course, I guess it would depend on your definition of "bad"....

1. Use flammable liquids away from flame. 2. Clean with flammable liquids outside (again, away from flame) 3. Turn off the equipment before working with flammable liquids. 4. Make sure equipment doesn't have the smell of the flammable liquid after a reasonable drying time.
If you smell vapors, there is always a possibility of ignition, but you need the right fuel/air ratio to do damage. If you don't smell it on the device, there's not enough vapor there. Of course, as with anything flammable, use your head and you will still have it in the morning.
- problems started after a driver upgrade (spdif sound disappeared on my ASUS A8n SLI after installing recent NFORCE drivers)...
Had the same thing happen to me on my Sagetv box. Did a reload of the OS at one point, but didn't use the drivers (for sound) off of the CD. The drivers on their site for the SPDIF out will only give you 2ch sound, no matter what the source. The drivers on the included motherboard CD will put out a Dolby Digital 5ch signal for every source (including 2ch). This doesn't mean they're doing any goofy sound-matrixing to make your 2ch stuff come out 5 speakers, but it does seem that this driver is necessary to get the Dolby Digital encoding off of the board.

OK, that was bad. I apologize in advance.

I propose an 8 ring limit as a max. I'd use it!
Hey, even gay people like porn. Have a friend who has more porn than me - and he's definitely not straight.

you read the previous post:
Well, it's better than "Farmers can now throw bails onto even larger trucks to make less trips"
and think that it said:
Well, it's better than "Farmers can now throw balls onto even larger trucks to make less trips"
and then proceed to wonder why Farmers are throwing balls on their trucks in the first place.
Hmmm.
Sanyo does have all the letters of Sony in it. With an "a" added for good measure. Maybe you're on to something!
I don't believe they're related, though.
This is totally off of the top of my head, but didn't Weird Al himself state that if you buy the physical CD he actually sees more $$ / album?
Buying from iTunes then still screws Artists, if that's true across the board.

Maybe Slashdot can save the games too; one advertisement at a time!
Slashdot was even better before the six digit noobs got here.
That's the line I was referring to, in case you really were wondering.
Holy fucking hell.
I know that masturbation as a teen is a somewhat necessary thing, but to have to have it in the middle of a family room? Please.
Go to the bathroom and lock the door. At least there you can be guaranteed privacy - and use that imagination to keep the staff solid, so to speak.

No, it'll be Super-Perfect RAM 2.0 E-X Plus Alpha.
A few caution tips then:
1. Use flammable liquids away from flame.
2. Clean with flammable liquids outside (again, away from flame)
3. Turn off the equipment before working with flammable liquids.
4. Make sure equipment doesn't have the smell of the flammable liquid after a reasonable drying time.

Must be something in the geek culture to want to call people on the floor. Or maybe it's just a guy thing.
Even if you buy 2 ADSL lines, that backhoe that's grumbling at you from across the street will take them both out with one fell swoop.
