I know you were poking:D but I don't understand why you are sympathetic? I'm *thrilled* with those speeds considering its a residential account in a low-income neighborhood. Hi-speed broadband. I have friends with the business package from Time-Warner and they say its even more insane speed-wise - and they don't have the restrictions on servers, etc. Up until about 5 yrs ago, I was stuck opn dialup tho just to give some perspective. DSL was always "available in my area" until you actually tried to get it - then it was "too far away". I live within just minutes of one of the original ARPAnet backbones. *shrug* go figure.
I still have no use for cell phones, altho my landline is getting kinda expensive for what it does. Its all politics bread and circuses.
You and me both. Wish I had mod points for ya. Oh and BTW I don't own a cell phone either. Somehow life went on just fine before they were invented. And it still goes on just fine without.
I *do* have cable for my internet however - Time-Warner RoadRunner can consistently hit 1.5 mBps (yes you read that right) during off-peak hours in my area (upstate NY).
Your right to swing your fists ends where his nose begins. Your right to express youself ends where his right to a peaceful neighborhood begins.
Its called "civilized society"
You have the right to do whatever. You do NOT have the right to escape the consequences of whatever. These same rules apply to the other guy also - so if he feels the consequences are an acceptable trade-off, he'll do whatever.
As if the company you work for will ever pay you enough to make a choice.... ever try to buy health insurance when you're in the lower classes?
Make enough to buy a decent gun and pay the rent at the same time?
Make enough for a car? 3/4 of my co-workers at my last job didn't. They were all in their 40's and 50's working at a plant with zero debt load and milli0ns in revenue from gov't contracts.
There's plenty more examples of how your corporate overlord will keep you down thru a puny paycheck.
"...government workers are neither getting survival wages, nor retiring as multimillionaires with huge pensions."
But private sector workers are *already* doing this, and they have been for a long time! But I guess since its the "free market" that makes everything OK, right?
He is using "philosophy" of which "science" is a subset, at least in classical learning. You can get all this in a liberal arts curriculum, where it is traditionally taught.
Nope, mine is up to about 600k now. I started with the hosts file from someonewhocares.org and just kept adding onto it. Its usually the very first tweak that goes into a fresh install.
"Coincidentally, shares of Rapiscan's parent company, OSI Systems Inc., dropped in value almost 25% today, its biggest intraday decline in about 12 years.
Won't somebody *please* think of the job creators ??!! .
Oh, I'm over it all right. $25 a month was an exhorbitant amount back then. Nowdays its well north of $100. Of course its still not enough - the point is that it never will be. If any given company can take *all* of your income, they would. Meanwhile they shouldn't even bother to *imply* anything. As in, don't insult my intelligence.
I remember when the cable co (now Time-Warner) came to my town back in the 80's. They said the subscription model would eliminate the need for ads.
AAahahahahahahahahahaha........
It reminds me of the insurance companies back then, all led by good God-fearing Republicans.
"If you pass seatbelt laws, the premiums can go down. If you pass Daytime-running lights the rates may go down. If you have airbags the rates will go *way* down."
Also, its interesting how "profits" come up in the discussion... it comes up *any time* there is any mention of e.g regulations, etc. I concluded long ago that the business leaders will always cry poor until there is zero taxes and zero regulations. Regardless of how obscenely profitable they are.
Sure there is. *I* prefer to be in charge, efficiency be damned. *I* will decide when to shift and how to generally respond in traffic. Thank you very much.
Side benefit, a manual shift is often much easier to deal with in emergency or unusual circumstances such as need to "limp home"
I remember seeing "A Wookie Christmas" when it came out. I still puke a little in my mouth to this very day when I remember it... The original first movie in 1978 was *it*. After that they should have just stopped.
Its a cat 1 that just happens to be almost a thousand miles wide, in an area that wasn't really designed for hurricanes to begin with. And its gonna mix with a nor'easter... (which we actually *do* know a few things about...)

OK, Mega Bytes per second. Competitive with a T-1, fast enough to stream video.

"If you dont like what they have to say then ignore it. Its really that simple. Just mind your own business."
Wouldn't it be nice if the WBC did this also? At the very least what they do is indecent and disrespectful.
And what Anonymous des is flat-out illegal.

Goes both ways, you see.

Wow -- those kinds of speeds make me wonder about the air venting that must be required at the top and bottoms of the shafts. Thats amazing!

You too? These articles tend to pop up every 5 or 10 years. I remember when they thought there was going to be all kinds of stuff from coral reefs.

That's nothing... There are plenty of people on the NY Thruway who can do this and drive at the same time!
