Mr President, just how far do you think it is appropriate to mischaracterize your opponents words and history before you have sunk to the level of deceitful demagoguery? Or do you even care if you sink that low? Of course not, look who I'm talking to, disregard the question.
The best way to think of the Fair Access Policy is like a bucket of water, which refills at a rate of about 5 KB a second. The bucket fills up to 169 megs (for the consumer version, 350 for the more expensive one), and if you empty the bucket in a four hour period you are penalized by being throttled down to dialup speeds for a while. What this effectively has meant for me is that I must schedule downloads of large files in chunks. I use leechget to download a 169 meg chunk in the morning, then let the bucket refill, and download another later in the early evening, then maybe schedule another one in the middle of the night - when the limit goes up to 225 megs.
Web browsing is pretty comparable to dialup due to latency, not anything close to when I had cable (didn't want to switch, but had to move). The best part is the download speeds, which usually equal or exceed the speeds I was getting with cable.

Imagine where the consumer video/photo market would be if there weren't any grandparents. If we had adopted the tradition of sending our old folks into the wilderness to relieve us of the need to care for them, what would we do with all our video recordings and digital photos?
>>Scientology's one foothold is among the Hollywood Left, Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, John Travolta, etc
>Umm, didn't Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman split up because of this scientology issue, or was that just me wanting Nicole for me?
Yeah Nicole is trying to prevent Tom from raising the kids within the cult. My mom was an early member of the Co$ in her late teens, for about 6 months. Her job was to call people who had quit the cult and ask them why they left, basically telemarketing. Most people would get inflamed and hang up. What I'm waiting for is for some vigilante group to kidnap Co$ celebrity spokespeople and get them de-programmed. That would make a good movie, a docu-spoof like Spinal Tap - get some Cruise, Travolta, and Alley look-alikes and rename their characters slightly. I guess it would be necessary to rename the cult, I like "MindHead" but that's been taken. I'm starting a script treatment this weekend.
