"(CNN) -- The metric system is the kind of thing that you can expect from the 60-vote filibuster-proof majority Democrats now have in the United States Senate."
It doesn't make sense at all to compare these two sites because I don't think I have ever mistaken Google for facebook. Facebook will never be a place for looking up statistics unless those statistics consist of "Who is going to my party tonight", Facebook influence is small and limited
Oh, like maybe a web form where you enter the MAC address of the new router before you upgrade?
Or in the case of new service you can give that info when you order instead of having to deal with a clueless service tech that only knows how to run an app on a Windows CD?
There are lots of things that Comcast makes more difficult than it needs to be.
I hate to say it, but I agree. As bad as all the trash talking on Comcast is, I've never had a problem. Setup was easy. The 15-20 minute call to swap out my modem for a $15 one I found at a thrift store was straight forward and easy.
Don't you consider having to make that phone call in the first place a problem?
How about their "support tools" are IE based that won't work in any browser on any platform?
And my current issue with Comcast right now is being in California and Comast routing the IP network cross country to New Jersey at 1/4 the bandwidth I had when they were routing through San Francisco.
Funny, usually the people behind the desk running most everything behind your list are fresh out of MBA school looking to make money fast like they saw on TV.

Nope. A "firing" requires lots of paperwork and justifications.
The current economics are a field day for management as they can just lay off without repercussions.
What sort of books do you prefer to buy?
Books? Like on paper? You are old!
I'm 53
Until you break a hip and die.
And get laid off.
My grandmother is 90 now. If I'm lucky enough to make it to that age (I'm almost halfway there),
Life after 50 is over rated.
And the light at the end of the tunnel is new jersey.
Light from the glowing toxic waste?
But seriously, almost anything would be less cruel and cause less suffering than condemning someone to die of starvation.
I guess you've never been sentenced to tech support.

I'm sure the nutjobs will find some excuse not to believe this too.
Not that far a reach to know that the US govt will doctor the Japanese data before it is released.
I have somewhere north of 300 friends on Facebook.
Do you actually KNOW any of them?

If only I had mod points...
while facebook has more of an aura of an "Every-man's social network".
Just the ones who need to get a life.
Maybe someday RMS will take a shower.
Will there be water boarding?
How does that even make sense?

Don't confuse the mindless tech bashing with actual FACTS!!!

t-mobile doesn't charge extra for tethering... just the basic $25 "unlimited" data service for your voice account.
I have been tethering for many years with my Sony Ericsson P910 & P990 phones on T-Mobile.
But I guess technically T-Mobile is an EU company.
And now the number withheld calls begin... Mostly calling at 2:00AM.
It's really Steve Ballmer's secret evil layer.....
It was not my generation that,

The Manhattan Project and the Apollo Moon missions are two of the pinnacles of the 20th century scientific achievement
So, extrapolating from those two points, we just need a big, old-fashioned war. (hot or cold, as desired)
Technically, the Vietnam war put an end to funding of the Apollo missions.
Or it's not ready for a consumer OS yet.
