Agreed with that. Most people that have pulled the whole "I don't NEED to watch the news, it's depressing and I know the truth!" people I talk to all are Fox news people.
It's fun to get their feathers in a ruffle:) It gets very close to a face-to-face rumble ahah
Your right, thank god they laid off 600 instead... After all, since they are laying off 600 people, and it's 4%, that would mean the workforce was 15,000. That being said,a s of Sept, 2010 they reported 13,900 employees.
Since the average individual is making 40-50K yearly (we'll leave benefits and other HR stuff out for simplicity), that's a savings of $24,000,000-$30,000,000 yearly. While it may not look like much on paper, since the company's net income available is $1,000,000,000 ($1B), that's about 3%.
It's not as if they are in the negative, they are just cooling the masses since Sept 30th was their Q3 data release.
Are you being serious? I've had 4Mb/s through Cox Communications. Cable modems aren't DSL, but then again we're talking about Broadband here and not one transport technology in particular.
The definition of broadband from dictionary.com is: pertaining to or denoting a type of high-speed data transmission in which the bandwidth is shared by more than one simultaneous signal. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/broadband
The term has evolved really, as it used to mean what you said and only that. It's going to continue evolving, just as disturbing as the word 'sick' means tight/cool/rad/knarly/def now.
That tends to happen when we live in a time when warfare in multiple countries is worth more than expanding the knowledge. I mean, at least WW2 produced SOMETHING that altered science... the atomic era. What do we have... Remote-control planes? better guns? On top of it, mothballing existing projects... ugh Why does it seem like we're in high school and the asshat "cool" kids have taken office?
The one thing to remember is that technology is interchangable, and has a tendency to shift from one focus to another once it's invented. The only that that's needed is the creation of a tech innovation and bam... off to something else entirely in the (near) future. Think of it this way, what other reason would we suddenly have 40+ inch 3D capable television at 1080p that's about as thick as my hand? Our technology evolves, and uses whatever vector necessary to initiate it. Think porn in the past for video transport technologies:)
my Sony bluray player does that...It's not like something that's being invented. I mean, the only reason I keep cable is because I like to watch off-the-cuff shows sometimes, and they are playing on discovery/history channel, or bounce through cnn/msnbc/hln to see what's going on real quick.
What does tax have to do with television? I mean, the post did say "free in the UK" right before saying the price for those outside of the UK. Isn't that a form of corporate tax?

yes.
It's finely veiled racism.
not sad at all. They take news, and throw a twist of humor into it.
no no no, not kids playing around and thinking they've "exposed the travesty", we're talking about adults here.

You mean just like atomic weight is a constant?
Where'd you read that, the "Nation of Islam" website?

Definitely... I still have that game, and it's fun as hell.
Everyone dies, so why not have some fun glassing the planet over?
netflix included (if SD is good enough for you).
Funny, I didn't know Netflix offered SD streaming... last time I checked (just now), they offer netflix on-demand and that's your choice.

We didn't ask you if you wanted it. It's a majority that want it, as a majority DO watch television over the 'Net.
If you were happy driving a 70's Pinto (and say not everyone drives a 2010 car), life would continue advancing as usual also...
The FTC & FCC is not the customer relations department of corporations.
In much the same wasy as some words translated from language to language would be just as bastardized, yes.
By very definition, a living language evolves and changes.

Enterprise, mostly.
It's great hardware, and mostly resides in midrange and up.

all you need to lookup is 'blender application' and it's the first fucking link.
Pretty much. ;)
At least you'll know it's real

That'll happen the day that Microsoft creates a module for the Linux kernel that runs Windows apps natively in X/Win.
