No, read the article more closely, especially in between the lines -- Comcast will starting screwing with *other* protocols on an even keel with bittorrent.
Soon you can expect to get false 404's on port 80 if you've used "too much" of your "unlimited" bandwidth...
Well, you either intentionally deceived, assuming that none of us could read Swedish (or had never lived there and was aware of the recurring problems with salmonella in Sweden), or you're simply too lacking in intelligence to understand how grossly negligent it would be to compare those two statistics as equivalent. Liar or stupid, you take your pick. And I sincerely apologize for suggesting you are whichever one you don't choose...
The fact of the matter is, salmonella from beef is extremely rare, e. coli being the major concern, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, that the EU's pseudo-scientific reasoning to ban US beef is NOT based upon any salmonella risk, but from natural hormones.
By the way, I got food poisoning in Sweden quite a few times, but maybe it was all due to imported foods, never due to local conditions, right?
Salmonella is commonly found in nature, in the wild, just as E. Coli, it's only in high concentrations that make people sick, i.e. from eating raw chicken from sick chickens...
As if the US was somehow less clean that the EU, why aren't we seeing great rates of human infection in the US? Makes one wonder... Of course you might not hear about such stories in Europe, where they'd be likely drowned out by internal stories of: rampant mad cow disease, foot and mouth disease, etc....
Nice try there, but jag talar svenska, and thus I know you comparison falls into all three classes of "lie, damned lies, and statistics" ("lögner, förbannade lögner och statistik"). You're attempting to compare the rate of US chickens that had *any* measurable amount of salmonella from one source in English, to the self-serving Swedish statement (from the Swedish source) that salmonella is found in "less than 1% of all animals and foods" in Sweden. Furthermore, the Swedish article goes on to blame most salmonella infections as originating from other EU countries!!!
Not very impressive...
This subterfuge you provide here does nothing to excuse that the WTO has continuously ruled that the EU's health concerns about American beef are specious, protectionist and explicitly UNSCIENTIFIC.
By the way you can have your raw Swedish chicken all you want, I just hope you continue to feel smug in the hospital, for even if SSI's own "statistics" are true, you can't know if the meat you are buying comes from Sweden or another EU country. (And I eat raw American beef [as carpaccio] all the time -- never been sick.)
Well, let's start with the easy one: Germany and France are members of the European Union.
And move on to the context: This thread started: "Many nations of EU will ignore their legal obligations. [...] And yes, as I recall, all of the great nations of EU have violated various WTO rulings as well."
The EU had a deadline of May 1999 to open its market, but has yet to do so... The protectionist policy is hidden behind a veil of safety concerns -- that some US beef might have come from cows treated with hormones. This despite widespread use of the very same hormones within the EU. The WTO ruled the ban was illegal in August 1997. The ban has been in place since 1989...

This is what AT&T is specifically trying to avoid. It's not that their last-mile loops are saturated -- it's that their backbone is. With DSL the backbone starts at the central office, with docsis cable, it starts at the back of your computer. This is probably why AT&T hasn't gone as far as Comcast... yet...

Sure, but you can only get your medical bills paid once. The sky's the limit for life insurance however...
How can you "stock up" on insurance?
I think the OP is mixing health insurance and life insurance. You can't "stock up" on health insurance, but you can with life insurance.
Good to hear she can return to addressing more important things in life... like autism...
No, you're Spartacus!
Exactly, call me when they're going to sell PayPal -- that would be the real benefit to the world!
That's the only eBay product/division which would be far better off as a separate entity.
Not a performance enhancer, per se, but a bad performance preventer.
I.e. they don't make you any better of a musician or a teacher, but they may help you from giving a bad performance due to nervousness.
By the way, that $1.99 credit to your account constitutes a "change of service"...

I forgot to mention the EU's ban on US Beef: http://useu.usmission.gov/agri/ban.html

Hello? The EU is so ridiculously hypocritical. Just look at the EU's bananas regime:
http://www.ustr.gov/Document_Library/Press_Releases/2007/June/United_States_Requests_WTO_Panel_to_Review_European_Unions_Banana_Import_Regime.html
The EU has been consistently ruled against for well over a decade, and there is still no movement towards compliance.
Good idea. Canadians should place a trade embargo on the US. I'm sure it'd be really good for the Canadian economy.
So it's in Indiana... big deal... ;-)
Think of the satellites! Think of the satellites! Oh won't somebody please think of the satellites!!!
Did you hear that Saddam Hussein was trying to procure yellowcake from New England mines prior to the US invasion of Iraq?
Obviously this justifies the invasion....
So on what basis did Estonia accuse Russia of staging those attacks?
Becuase *other* attacks provably originated from IP addresses within a bank allocated to Russian government agencies.
This *one* conviction does not account for all the pathetic Russian cyberattacks on the entire country of Estonia.
