you both probably get better and faster service for both TV and internet than I do with Embarq and shantel. We've got no cable option for internet and embarq's had a monopoly here since before it was Embarq, the wires are literally disentegrating and calling for support on anything will half the time get you hung up on because they have no need to do anything to keep you as a customer.
Pretty much what I'm expecting too, only I'm pretty sure that the swedes are basically seeing what they want to see to make the numbers add up in their favor.
4chan loves kittens. NYC may display helpful benevolence towards these little dudes, that shouldn't be taken to mean anything other than that as a whole NYC has a soft spot for cute small robots.
Stress is your job, kids, and midterms. Torture is being blasted by ANY noise so loud that it serves to keep you from sleeping for days on end.
If you're so adamant that it isn't torture come down to orlando sometime and I'll keep you awake for 4 days while blasting any music of YOUR choice at you loud enough to cause pain.
Gamestop has pretty much abandoned PC gaming in favor of console games. Going by the local ~50 odd gamestops I doubt most of their employees even understand what they're selling beyond "Yo I so own at halo brah".
Shouldn't it be reasonably easy to just pump water around underground for a while to cool it off before running it through the pipes? Or in coastal areas just suck some up from really deep and send it right back down again.
Nice strawman you're beating up there Cmarvin. Lets go through them:
1. C64 posts some Very Impressive Numbers claimed by GE and lists the usual arguments against cfls (no judgement on them, just that those are the most common ones).
2. I responded saying that there was a bias in behavior where any flaw in a CFL no matter how small was responded to with great hostility and fervor whereas Incandescents were usually defended with equal vehemence, and I'd take this moment to point out that it's often using the exact same logic that was just attacked as ridiculous when it was used to defend CFLS.
3. I then questioned why, if these bulbs are so great, there is nothing but "claims" about them and no hard proof of ANY kind. I'd once again like to take this moment to point out that, as with battery life enhancers, "ionic" ANYTHING, and just about any car addon involving gas mileage, my request for any sort of substantive backing has resulted in ad hominem and straw men.
In short I explicitly made NONE of these "libelous" claims and, as is sadly typical, the real employer of fallacies is the one accusing others of libel in order to futilly try and stave off the inevitable.
Cmarvin, this isn't meatspace. You can't go and say that I was accusing people of being industry shills when my post is RIGHT THERE proving otherwise.
Publically stripping them naked and hitting them with a hose, forcing them to listen to earsplittingly painfully loud music 24hrs a day to deprive them of sleep for days on end and forcing them into "stress positions" before waterboarding them is undeniably torture.

that joke only works if the other person was previously established as under 18.

actually from TFA that was the stuff amazon LEFT.
Apparently leather-fetish nazi self-help materials.

Have you ever seen what happens to someone that posts zippocat? They crucify that guy.
It's called metamoderation.

Idunno... there's still Jersey.
You mean other than the dogs, hoses, waterboarding, sleep deprivation, sexual degredation and straight up physical torture?
By the way what's with the "Amerika" thing, I must've missed out on a troll memo somewhere explaining it's origins and use.
Troll gets fed, forgets slashdot is not 4chan. News at 5pm.
4 times, and forgets /. doesn't give a damn about military time. News at 4pm.
Someone convince that girl to get a labia ring and we'll either have warp drive or the first woman president by 2027.
Or you could go get some more hours at your second job.
Yeah, how dare they seek jobs that actually let them pay their obscene insurance premiums and college tuition. Lazy bastards.

How loud do you think music needs to be to prevent someone from passing out to sleep after several days of deprivation or cause that level of stress?

^^^ this. Nothing will improve until the monopolies and cable-dsl duopolies are gone.
and just sucking up really cold deep water and then spitting it right back out again?

The word "supporter" means something very different to you than it does to the rest of us.
