  1. Re:I can see both sides of this on Net Neutrality or Not? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Funny.

    Verizon has a fucking DSLAM installed in the local CO of my town, tells people via their online billing service that they qualify for DSL, yet they refuse to provide the service because they are trying to blackmail the Texas PUC.

    Explain that.

  7. Solaris Support? on VMWare Eats Microsoft's Lunch · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I wish that EMC/VMware would hurry up and add Solaris 10 x86 host support.

    Would be rather nice to run VMWare under Solaris 10.

  13. Re:So it's official now? on Net Neutrality: Lobbyist McCurry Raises Ire · · Score: 1

    I live in about the only part of Texas that still has regulated electrical power, and guess what, we have either the lowest or next to lowest rates in the state while areas that have a 'free' market have been having rate increase of 5-10% per year over the last 3-5 years.

    And it isn't hurting investment in our subgrid. AEP/SWEPCO is in the process of siting and building new base load generating capacity to the tune of 500 million to 1 billion invested.

  14. Re:And it's hard to trust on Net Neutrality: Lobbyist McCurry Raises Ire · · Score: 1

    Verizon spent the money to install all the equiptment necessary to provide DSL service in the CO of my small town yet refuses to offer the fscking service.

    How in the hell does that make sense? They offer DSL to NO ONE in the town - not even the homes that are 25 feet away from the CO. The sad/funny part is that most in town, when they view their bills online, are told they qualify for DSL at least till they try to order it.
