You mean you do not have people who funnel as much of their income as possible offshore to another, tax friendly country in order to pay as little as possible in tax to the exchequer of the country they operate in?
Maybe I am an anomaly but I consistently get good customer service from Virgin. Example, while redecorating I trod on the cable modem and broke the coax connector. I rang to report a "problem with the cable modem", an engineer turned up next day, and immediately replaced it with a new unit (which turned out to be a wireless hub). Also I have the new Tivo box which does not seem to need rebooting as often as the old V+ box, which I have kept.
6.x? Far too new-fangled! I have been running Squid on 5.3 for about 4 years. Having said that, when I have a new server application to develop/prototype my first reaction is to use the latest stable release. So I have a MySQL database running happily on 7.0. And most of my FreeBSD installations are on ageing Intel hardware that would collapse if a Windows setup program tried to run on them. (If I want to build a desktop I use Ubuntu, doesn't everyone?)
No one has come up with the "database driven file systems" we were all promised years ago
Which would be a step backwards from the database driven operating system that was invented over 40 years ago. Of which I am only reminded because I am ancient enough to have used it at work.
At the time of writing (19:40 GMT) I can't seem to get to YouTube via any ISP from the UK. And I was so looking forward to my regular dose of blasphemy and heresy.

I was watching a program last night about the evolution of the planet, something about vulcanic activity...
Are you sure you weren't waching Star Trek III?
