Yeah, I'm borderline spamming. But also am on topic. Click on my link. Click on local service. Unless you live in HI, AK, NV, or overseas, you do have a choice. And no, you don't have to change your phone number.
All this may be true, but someone needs to talk to the marketing departments at Comcast and Verizon. At least in my area (suburban MD) they are selling speed, speed, speed, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. True, people on/. know more or less what is going on. But educating the masses in a 30 second spot... Nope. Not gonna happen. I just hope that billing and tech support forward the complaints to marketing.
We have Comcast (so far so good), but I can't get DSL. Hmm... Weird. I'm only about 10,000 feet from the CO. Oh, I know why: those assholes at Verizon gave me an FX number for some stupid ass reason, so I'm listed as 30,000 feet from the CO. They also force you to have a Verizon phone line to get DSL. Sounds like an illegal act to me.
Southern Maryland (Charles County).
And I don't want to hear how there was explosive growth in my part of the county that caught Verizon by surprise. All they had to do was look at the county master plan, the building permits requested/given, or about 10,000 other documents to see that about 80% of the growth in this county for the past 25 years (and for the next 25 years) is scheduled to be within about 3 miles of my house.
just think of how many slashdot front pages you read that everyone else is too
I think I'm the only person who should be getting this message:
This page was generated by a Team of Elite Bruins for gmhowell (26755).
I was going to say "I understand your point", but I thought about it a bit, and I don't. Many websites are going to these 'personalized' and customized pages, how many static pages are people visiting?
If you are truly living in even a semi-rural area, you are probably getting your power through a rural electric coop. I'm not sure of the details, but they are 'owned' by people who get electricity. They get massive tax breaks. They got tons of government funding to make sure everyone gets electricity. The government allowed and fostered telco monopolies (okay, just one:) to get universal coverage. They didn't pay in the beginning, and barely pay today. That's why the government can 'force' them to open up 'their' lines.
Ask and ye shall receive: the tombstone project, while not a download site, will sell you a complete set of MAME ROM's on CD or DVD. Or you can go to eBay and look for people selling the exact same thing.
This would cut down on lawsuits. Go to your local motorcycle/atv/pwc dealer. Look at the number of "Don't do something really fucking stupid" stickers plastered all over them. It wouldn't say 'don't stick sensitive body parts in hot exhaust' if someone hadn't tried to fuck a muffler.
Drop me some email, or click on the link. Unless you are in NV, AK, or HI, the CLEC I deal with can help you. I'm thinking that customers will switch just to stick it in the eye of the Baby Bells.
If someone was willing to buy it and continue it would you sell it?
The short answer is no. Since most companies that acquire AspFriends is likely to make changes to commercialize it or to make it a much worse place to get support. Because I created it in 1998 and ran it through 2002 most people would blame me for it's demise. I would rather have it close a winner now, than get acquired, ruined and then die a looser a few years later.
IOW, Caroll won't sell. As it seems he's already indicated to you:)
I figured that the 'In Memory...' was missing since the prints were probably already completed prior to his death. I expect to see an epitaph on the DVD release.
Didn't stay until the end of the credits. My sister and her husband were ready to leave. Heh. Newlyweds.
You get an "A" for regurgitating the text, and an "F" for comprehension. No company, in perfect competition, makes an 'economic' profit. This is different from a financial profit. The economic profit assumes some amount of money to be rewarded for entrepreneurship, etc.
Lesson to everyone: When negotiating with big companies, never accept a percentage of profits in return for anything. Always ask for revenue, or a set dollar amount.
Even though you didn't get there the correct way, your final answer is correct. But this has everything to do with Hollywood accountants, and nothing to do with economics or financial concerns.
Certainly you've watched over someone's shoulder as they search the web. In my experience, that's only slightly less painful than the 'makeout in the meadow' scene.
I took a look at the last link. I hope there are better examples than what were shown, particularly given the length of both the movie series and the Dune series. What it really looks like is that both of them were reading from the works of Joseph Campbell.

Click on my link. Click on local service. Sign up. Keep phone number. Pay less money. If/when they become dicks, repeat, ad nauseum.
You're absolutely right. I forgot about all of the images and other stuff that are the true bandwidth hogs.

Sweet, I finally pulled ahead of FK.
And my parents thought I would never amount to anything.
Even if was as hard as a diamond, it wouldn't be 17 inches.

Witness also: 'Coffee may be hot'.
Feh. You just need the right Klipsch speaker.
I'm using a pair of these with some crappy little amp. Saw comparable amp for $35 from Rat Shack as well.

I have no idea what it was. But I'll be looking for the tpb.
Charlie Watts is like the portrait of Dorian Gray. No, not Dorian Gray; the portrait.
Just read an issue of "extraordinary gentlemen" last night. First time. Pretty good. May be adding that to the monthly list.

Doubt it will become standard in any homes. Anyone building a new home is going to run some extra cat 5.

After all, the AT&T logo looks like the DeathStar...
Nothing new in this comment. I believe Berkely Breathed made it about 20 years ago.
