Yea because no DSL provider is going to cap their service and DSL is so much more reliable th.... fuck it no i can't even finish that statement with a straight face.
Many European countries would see nothing wrong with this, there children learn about and talk about sex openly. Criminalizing and punishing children for exploring and embracing their sexuality should not be a crime..
Granted there is often a need for some boundaries but these should be set between the children and their parents. The state/federal government has no fucking business enforcing religious based laws and values on anyone.
I'd be more than happy to give them mine, it just sits all the time.
Occasionally I push it around the parking lot so the front office doesn't harass me, but it really isn't worth keeping. I'll take the Apple II out of its trunk, give it to them, and instead of a voucher I'd be happy to take cash.
With which I will buy one of those stackable Japanese pieces of shit that you can fit in a walkin closest that they call a car.
I just run the ethernet cables along edge of the ceiling with tacks, that way my rats don't eat them. Using cables similar to the wall colour makes the eyesore minimal.
It would have been nice for them to do this for my 1Tb drive that died last month.... Those damn things had known issues to, the drive itself was likely intact as I heard no damage noises. It simply wouldn't power up one day.
They shipped me a refurbished model as I didn't have 2 grand to pay for data recovery...Kinda pisses me right the fuck off.
I have about 150 albums in mp3 format that I've downloaded. Almost all of them I own or have owned on CDs or cassette tape in the past very few of which have survived my various moves or the test of time.
Violence in video games may not have a damn thing to do with violent acts, but seeing stories like this one over and over again throughout might life could one day make me snap and kill some fucking people.
The story has changed since yesterday, I still have a copy of the original news post here:
MCFARLAND (WKOW) -- Abbie Schubert paid more than $1,100 for a Dell laptop hoping to enroll in online classes at MATC.
But something stopped her: Ubuntu.
That's an operating system for your computer similar to Windows that runs off the Linux system.
Schubert says she ordered her laptop online at Dell.com expecting to buy your classic bread-and-butter computer.
She didn't realize until the next morning her laptop defaulted to the Ubuntu operating system.
"It's been a mess," she said. "I regret ordering the computer."
Schubert says she never heard of Ubuntu before learning that's when she accidentally bought. She called Dell the very next day and says the representative told her there was still time to change back to Windows.
But she says Dell discouraged her.
"The person I was talking to said Ubuntu was great, college students loved it, it was compatible with everything I needed," said Schubert.
So she stuck with it.
Later, she discovered Ubuntu might look like Windows, but it doesn't always act like it.
Her Verizon High-Speed Internet CD won't load, so she can't access the internet. She also can't install Microsoft Word, which she says is a requirement for MATC's online classes.
As a result, with no internet and no Microsoft Word, Schubert dropped out of MATC's fall and spring semesters.
She also says Dell claimed it was now too late to get Windows and any changes she made herself would void her warranty.
"I'm extremely frustrated," said Schubert. "I wanted to get back to school, but I needed a computer to be able to do that."
27 News contacted Dell, but the company has not responded to us yet.
However, we think we've helped her get back to school.
Verizon says it will dispatch a technician to try to assist her accessing the internet without using the Windows-only installation disk.
MATC also says it promises to accept any of Schubert's papers or class documents using whatever software she has installed.
Since then they've has a viewer backlash and changed the story:

MCFARLAND (WKOW) -- Abbie Schubert paid more than $1,100 for a Dell laptop hoping to enroll in online classes at Madison Area Technical College, or MATC.
But something stopped her: she bought an operating system for her computer she never heard of, Ubuntu.
That's an operating system for your computer similar to Windows that contains Linux. It's highly regarded among some people and extremely popular with certain circles of computer users because it's free.

You I would have stabbed her in the fucking hand the moment she touched my property.
Sounds like you just let her walk all over you.
Believe that we should start executing people for breaking their EULAs.
It's the next logical step towards a beautiful future.
Unfortunately most of the US still retarded.

Seems like a good plan to me.
It can't be helped. The actual article uses this statement three times...
I just run the ethernet cables along edge of the ceiling with tacks, that way my rats don't eat them.
Using cables similar to the wall colour makes the eyesore minimal.
What I don't understand is that if there are so many damn people in China why they don't just overthrow their government... it wouldn't be difficult.
It would have been nice for them to do this for my 1Tb drive that died last month....
Those damn things had known issues to, the drive itself was likely intact as I heard no damage noises. It simply wouldn't power up one day.
They shipped me a refurbished model as I didn't have 2 grand to pay for data recovery...Kinda pisses me right the fuck off.
I'm 95% sure I don't give a damn.
I have about 150 albums in mp3 format that I've downloaded.
Almost all of them I own or have owned on CDs or cassette tape in the past very few of which have survived my various moves or the test of time.

Photons be free!
Change all your bank accounts and destroy your computer quickly! The bad guys are gonna get ya!
An update has been posted by WKOW, I can't say it's much better than the original article.
Mostly they're covering their asses and calling Ubuntu users hateful.
