    Way to confuse ATT DSL and ATT U Verse cable. Two very different services.

    If you provision the ethernet on the ONT you disable the guide on the cable service (this can be fixed with a moca adapter). If you have only internet it's no big deal.

  6. But the plan didn't cover internal wiring, so exactly what did it cover? I mean the only time you would need a tech to come is due to either a wiring problem from the pole to the house or due to an internal wiring problem.

  7. That covers every modern video game and game system.

  8. Sure it is. It is our right, it is within our power, as it is just an arbitrary moral code that makes it unacceptable in society (thankfully). Outside of society, the taking of a life is just as moral a decision as mercy (though mercy would probably get you killed).

  9. Leave it up to New York? At least New York restores voting rights, unlike the 10 states that permanently restrict them, most of them being conservative southern states. I think that's a little more important then whether or not you can get a large soda.

  10. It works the same in the places that never restore voting rights, they are punished long after their debt to society has been paid.

    What license? Can anyone claiming these works are licensed produce the actual terms of the license?

    The LoC distributes them as public domain. To me that would mean the public owns them and that the creator has relinquished all rights.

    I keep hearing that but no one has provided any proof of that statement. The LoC does list them as public domain which they would not do if they were licensed.

    It shouldn't be too tough since the LoC lists her works as public domain, not as licensed works.
