You can move your phone number to Vonage, unless Cox has some legal loophole out of it.
I do use Cox for my high-speed internet. I'd heard stories, so I was reluctant to try Cox. I guess you have to experiment a little; I found that I love Cox!
Prison system: Overcrowding, releasing criminals on the streets who will do more crimes, some feel criminals have too much freedom/amenities
Apollo program: Huge money sink, publicity stunt entirely for the benefit of Communist bloc and American taxpayers, haven't been back to the moon in thirty years
Student loans: Massive number of students default on loans, causing loss to taxpayers
GI bill: many students are experiencing long delays in getting their aid, sometimes forcing them to use private expenses or quit school
Military: Not a government program, it's a constitutionally-defined part of government's responsibilities
Police departments: Plagued by abuse of power lawsuits, can only clean up the mess after the crime has occurred, woefully understaffed in some areas, primarily a money-generating device via traffic tickets in other areas
Sounds about right: use two-hour jaunts to trendy downtown Chicago restaurants with yourself as the pilot to garner female companionship. Obviously it worked!
However, if you object to using the censored public provider, that means private providers will be rarer and more expensive. These arguments against public access internet are looking better every day. I mean, what program has the government ever successfully implemented? The answer is none, and it has to be. A representative government by definition can never create a program that satisifies anyone, in its attempt to satisfy everyone. A corporation is merely successful if it has enough customers. It doesn't have to satisfy everyone, just the ones who pay them.
And the reason we went ahead and tested nukes? It was because those "scientists" could not come up with any better theories than crackpot ravings. They were ignored because their argument had no merit. If we held back everytime someone mentions eternal doom, we'd have never struck a flint into some tinder.
Hey now, I recently moved to Arkansas, and I can tell you that they are just like people anywhere else, drive nice cars and wear shoes, speak clearly and are well educated. Enough with this stereotyping! People from Arkansas have a right to be taken seriously.
Aww...who am I kidding? Everything you think about Arkansas...it's all true.
Why not try what I always wished I had done? If you're planning to go to a high-powered engineering school or something similar, start off by taking a year of humanities and pure science courses at the nearest cheap state school or community college. You can adjust the class schedule so you can work at the same time, you'll get a good amount of experience in learning how to do your homework when no one else really cares if you do it, and hey...if you screw up, it doesn't matter! You could also snag some transfer credits and schedule a few lazy semesters in college.
Once you're in college, I also recommend taking one or two humanities courses during the summer. It really helps to keep your study skills alive, and transfer credits are like gold at a tough college. Basically, if you can't sprinkle transfer credits throughout semesters at an engineering school, you have doomed yourself to having to no life.
Instead of jarring us awake with mechanical screeches demanding us to apply cold logic, why not use the built-in system we already have: our eyes. It's much easier to wake up when the daylight starts earlier and you have a south-facing window which is open. I simulate this with a simple desk lamp hooked to an outlet timer. A half-hour of light before my alarm goes off, and I'm usually already awake.
It also helps to go to bed at a reasonable hour. Maybe we argue that there is too much to do in a day to afford the luxury of eight hours of sleep, but consider hard it is to do any work when you're already tired at 8:00 AM. If you rest enough, you can get twice as much done in 16 hours as you can in 20.
I didn't know that fad even existed still. I thought most of the heavy users would have moved to blogs already, for the more pleasurable back-patting circle.
I haven't even logged into my Orkut account for months, basically it was incredibly slow, no one posted in any of the group forums, and the place was dominated by Brazilians who kept ignoring the "English only" groups. It not that anyone is racist, it's just nice to freaking understand 90% of you group's traffic.
This is a placeholder rebuttal, I'll post why your arguments are COMPLETELY STUPID after you actually post them.

Look, if anyone should be demonized, it's those of the online community who actually break laws. These people make a LOT of trouble for those of us who don't get some kind of thrill from risking imprisonment.
The public, right now, often has difficulty separating warez dealers, crackers, virus writers, and normal geeks who just know a lot about computers.
More than once, I've discovered that since I know more than the average AOLer, someone just assumes that I have lots of pirated stuff and dabble in hacking the FBI. Pull up a Windows command prompt and type "route print" and suddenly your boss thinks you're a security risk. The more everyone knows about "the scene," the better I can separate myself from those who knowingly and willingly break the law.
Actually, you're using an example which I usually think of as the least ridiculous from Hollywood. If you remember the scene correctly, you will notice that what they did was observe a small shift in the portion of the bag that was visible, and then had the computer project what kind of deformation would have caused that shift. And resolution enhancement is funny when they show it being done to a still image, but with video it is possible to analyze successive frames and use time-domain information to filter out pixelation and noise effects.

No, 10 cents time however many tiles the Shuttle has, plus a power supply big enough to run all the fans.
Heck, if they used reversible fans, the Shuttle could be a VTOL!
H2S is also the main smelly component in farts.
No kidding? I guess this explains why some of those vile, concentrated elevator farts seem to last an eternity.
So the money goes to who, instead of the customers?

Whoosh.
Maybe it cuts down on the number of prostitutes slinking around rest stops?

Yet again, Slashdot gets my hopes up with a headline that looks like it'll be a "how-to" article.
So you want humans to die out? OK...you first.
You mean, easier.

The only problem with this? Keeping me out of the warehouse, because they'd read two forklifts on my position!
