I managed to drive a Toyota Echo to 180KM/H (112MPH) it was pretty much what the speedometer advertized. (I strongly discourage people from doing this, quite unstable in curves)
I remember 64K isdn and a (very dissapointing) star wars episode 4 trailer download (50 real mb) and was impressed it took lees than a day! Ha memories;-)
I agree 100%. Seems a lot af americaners are atill on those (excuse the word, sucky) connections. I remember the days my village was connected only at the library... and it sucked. Today I live much more rural in Canada, not as cheap as US but I can stream movies! Thank you for the reality check!
Web designers who want to get a sense of what their web site feels like on dialup can download thttpd which supports bandwidth limiting; 5 kilobytes a second is a reasonable simulation of a dialup connection.
kilobit or kilobyte? Last I remember, it was around 45 kilobit per second... (long LONG time ago...)
Considering our specie spent most of its time killing other animals to survive, I would say violence is both "natural" and "normal". Education steers us away from it. (I know, me masturbate flies here)
The only reason the US financial system is still operational, is because china have big interest in wall street. The day it stop serving them, you can bet on a huge financial crisis live you never saw before. Welcome to war 2.0.
Jobs gives a sense of fulfillment for most people. Taking it away kinda defeat the purpose of living. Take that from someone who has been on sick leave every other year in the last 6 years... not cool.
I can see another option: DONT DO STUPID ILLEGAL AND ANTICONSTITUTIONAL SHIT. After all, if you have nothing to hide, you should not be concerned about other people scrutinizing every details of your life. Just glad they got served their medicine.
Elop would work for me as MS ceo. But then I hate Microsoft's guts... the world is getting weirder and weirder all the time. My bet is on entropy at wok.
One dictionnary that lost my restect: Oxford. Neologies shuld be carefully weighted, not a buzzword trend (*facepalm* I forgot we live in the age of buzzword and 6 months planning!)

For the kids around, it was "high speed" before cable and (A)DSL...

So, its like touch tone telephones. No more new suscribers, gotta serve the customers we have now...
I think they are the same, but on a successful continent (inland).
Software modems always sucked.

Having watched robocop as a kid, it was very good. Rewatch it as adult, the movie stinks. So no, count me out.

Would it not be more profitable to relocate their HQ and collect damage money? What is the incentive?
Since 9/11, most of the "terror" acts the FBI have avoided, was their own sting operations. Cant fight a war when you have no enemies, eh?
The irony of it all: the power of china comes from the greed of western capitalists.

I believe in the universe. I am part of it and will always be in one form or another. Nothing less, nothing less. I am more scientist than atheist.
