My preference would be for an education that results in them knowing that it's "different from", and that "than" is for comparing quantities of the same quality.
The government already picked a winner years ago, just like they did with electrical service, natural gas service where offered, and telephone service, when it first allowed a cable company use of the right of way to either bury wires or string them on poles (or bury pipes in the case of a gas company).
Once one company is in that position, the economics of another one coming along and also running wires in order to maybe get some of the first company's customers to switch over is usually considered unlikely to provide a sufficient return on investment to make it worthwhile.
Besides, having 37 different companies digging up your yard every other week would likely cease to feel like FREEDOM! in short order.
...that the only thing that stirs more outrage than a nipple on TV is the chance that one will have to deal with a slow connection when downloading a picture of it.
It's just that all the many many other times I've had problems, I could see that at least one of the lights that were supposed to be on wasn't on. This was the first time nothing "looked wrong".
I've been running a WRT-54GL for about that long but instead of running Tomato, I run DD-WRT. Runs very well too. My only complaint was that after months and months the Broadcom chip gets hot. So having studied electronics and worked building remote sensing circuit boards for oilfield, I know that heat kills electronics, and I did the only sane thing: put together a nice little heat sink, got some heat sink grease (thermal silicone grease), and stuck the heat sink to the top of the Broadcom chip. The whole thing gets warm, but the chip doesn't get hot, and it will stay running for many more years. As far as performance: yes it only has (802.11)b and g (but not n). Still, 802.11g is good enough for me to wirelessly stream movies (dvd, not blu-ray) to an LG box connected to the tv via an hdmi cable (dlna). If you really want to start your search (and want to run Tomato) start by looking on the Tomato web site and see what routers are supported. I know the dd-wrt site lists supported routers.
It's not that hard to mount an old 486 or Pentium fan in there.
If you've got an old 486 or early Pentium cooling fan, mount it inside the 54G.
You can find +12V near the power inlet.
You can use plastic/nylon motherboard standoffs with the little button clipped off to hold the fan up in the air over the big chip.
Use RTV silicon caulking compound to glue them to the 54's motherboard.
This presupposes you have a soldering iron and a voltmeter, or at least a soldering iron and enough knowledge of power supplies to tell where the filter caps are.
I've got a stack of 54s and non-wireless BEFSR41s and putting a fan inside makes a world of difference.
No, the original intent was to ensure that slave owners could form militias to prevent slave revolts. The Founders were well aware of the inability of militias to stand against a professional army as consistently demonstrated in the American Revolution.
Yeah, if the colonies' professional army hadn't been able to defeat King George III's militias, we'd all be speaking English now.
The original intent was to prevent the government from having too much power by ensuring that citizens could form militias. Having arms available to everyone (not just the government's army) was an essential part of being able to raise a militia.
The original intent was to make militias possible so that they could avoid having to have a standing army.
They were very big on the idea of not having a standing army.
Yeah, but why bother when you can just rent the current occupants and save the hassle of campaigning and having to actually show up in DC a few days a year?

If it was me, I would have said "The police have been ordered to shoot any Comcast staff members on site"
What about the off-site staff?
There is nothing in the article to indicate that he is a lawyer.
If anything, it implies that he's an accountant.
Who has a lawyer who has contacted Comcast about the matter and received a most inadequate response.

Did you actually believe someone was serious in stating that "Mobs of people are the most rational..."?
Couldn't even ping 8.8.8.8, so I suspect it was more than just a problem turning URLs into numerical addresses.
It was so weird to have problems and still have all the lights on the modem lit up (except standby).
Unfortunately there's no novelty factor in having problems with it in general.
Tell us exactly what model phone and exactly what brand and model battery.
That way you have a better chance of catching the attention of someone with experience with what you need.
Otherwise I wave you in the vague direction of Batteries+
I've got a stack of 4 close enough to grab with my left hand and soon it'll be a stack of 5.
2 are BEFSR41s, and only one of the 54s has the wireless part turned on, I just need all of the places to plug in Ethernet cables.
Well, they certainly had a problem with it motherboard-wise.

Careful with heat. I've had two of these fail due to popped capacitors.
Are you sure that wasn't due to some "capacitor plague" capacitors still being in the supply chain pipeline?
Or is the only router ever produced that actually looks good is the wrt54G line?
I have yet to see another that does not look really bad.
They aren't bad looking but I've seen others that I think look better.
But I love the stackability.
No they're not. Cisco flogged Linksys off a year or more ago to Belkin - which, granted, is an even bigger reason to avoid them.
Since when has Belkin actually done any manufacturing of its own?
You didn't have it on a UPS?
Or did you let the idiot plug the drill into the UPS?
