    because Bell is so much better...what with their evening/late-night throttling and crazy prices.

    I'm moving to Montreal this summer and I hope I can find something better than these two giant ogres for my internet service.

  9. Re:EAS on 11 Sep 2001 on USAF Seeks Air Force One Replacement · · Score: 2, Informative

    *citation needed*

    I read the 9/11 comission report and don't remember seeing anything about other teams.

    Now I wish I knew where my copy was...I remember the minute by minute accounts of what took place in terms of the different responding agencies (NYPD, FDNY and Port Authority) being really interesting reading.

    I'm glad I wasn't the only one to fall victim to that! Pesky is an understatement in my opinion...it was a nasty little bugger.

  13. Re:Advice: Don't Read the Article, Do Read the Boo on Sneak Peek At Neal Stephenson's "Anathem" · · Score: 1

    Lirbarian girlfriends are the best...no more fines and as many books as I want! Alas my librarian-girlfriend moved on in life and became a teacher.

    This time, I'm down in Lawrence, Kansas doing ABSOLUTELY nothing (and getting paid) until they send me off to Calgary, Canada. Also, I get paid for my 'commute' time, so its all OK.

    Where do I sign up???
  21. Re:Solid State is vulnerable to damage as well on FAA Mandates Major Aircraft "Black Box" Upgrade · · Score: 1
    In the Wikipedia article someone else mentioned, it states:

    The device's shroud is usually painted bright orange and generally located in the tail section of the aircraft.

    (Emphasis mine)
    The planes I've seen all have it in the tail. Maybe aircraft designers thought of that as well!
  22. Re:Solid State is vulnerable to damage as well on FAA Mandates Major Aircraft "Black Box" Upgrade · · Score: 1

    Negative again! Having the black box fail will not cause an aircraft to blow up, it will simply land and not be permitted to fly until it has a functional black box.

    Since when are aircraft designed to blow up?

  24. Re:Mainstrem media attention not "important" or go on The Advertisers are Watching You · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, in some arenas, replacing employees who aren't doing their jobs can be very difficult. So, even when they're blatantly ignoring or refusing their duties, they stay in place. Welcome to the government...
    And any other union shop
