I think picking somebody to do a job is important.. the President does need to appoint people to positions once they get elected.. I would have to declare this a bad pick based on the results shown here.
Exactly.. the ISP should not offer something that they do not provide.
Now that we are calling them on it.. they are squirming around trying to find a new method.. when I was a child.. I was taught lessons.. lying was one of them.. looks like the ISP does not want to learn that lesson.. so squirming they go.. we need to cap.. we need to raise costs.. we need.. all of this instead of doing what they originally offered.. unlimited.. I have had companies hold me to their rules.. the shoe should not fit differently when it is on their foot.. they made the rules.. now that they are supposed to follow them.. squirm city.

I work in a call center with people recording me all day long.. is that the same in this comparison? They monitor how long it takes me to answer my phone (how many rings).. that is just the tip of the iceberg of what they monitor on me 5 days/wk.. now the funniest part is that in this company we have "rules" that state no electronic devices.. I know that included recording equipment.. but what if my boss tries to take advantage of me or something? How can I protect myself if I am not allowed to record like the company I work for?
I use Netflix currently. I want to switch to Blockbuster for one option.. the ability to drop off viewed movies.. when using Netflix I watch tv shows.. the entire season.. it did suck to get episode 2 and 3 before 1.. but that is not my beef.. returns via the mail system suck.. it takes days for them to get it.. then it takes a day to list it as acquired by them.. then it takes a day to ship the next one.. and that one does not usually leave the day it claims.. the next day for most of them.. for the price I still get alot of shows.. but trying to maximize the rentals using the mail service is not a good idea. As long as Blockbuster offers the ability to drop off viewed movies it takes alot of time off the turn around.
why would anyone need to know the speed of their customer computers? all coders should know make it fast.. make it small.. and make it non-intrusive.. and you will have a happy public.. the only reason a person would need to know what speed cpu i'm running would be trying to figure out how much bloat they can put in their bloatware.. not an idea i as a user appreciate.

I hear from some sources about the ice loss. I hear from other sources about ice creation. I wish these two sources would speak with each other.

I take the same amount of time for my breaks that non-smokers do.
I smoke on my breaks, while alot of other non-smokers spend their time eating junk food.
