  1. Re:This is not very Cheap for most Indians on Rolling Out Broadband Internet, On The Cheap · · Score: 1

    It's really not cheap given what you're getting either.

  2. Re:Privatized mail on AOL Bans Mail From DSL-Hosted Servers · · Score: 1

    I find it's usually not the post office employees slowing things down, it's the customers. Also, I'm in a town with many foreigners, and it takes *forever* to service them because they don't know what they want.

    Actually the post office a block away has both slots. You can see inside them relatively easily, and they don't dump into the same bin. There's even a third slot if you want a local postmark (as opposed to that of the larger city 20 miles away that processes most stuff).

    I was just making an assumption that government mail services are better in socialist countries.

    Reminds me of UPS... I know people that worked there, some in local hubs and some in the major hubs, that used to pick out those boxes with expensive insurance and purposely break whatever is inside. I guess almost everyone used to do it for entertainment.

    1) UPS or FEDEX are guaranteed to arrive, so they cost more.

    No they're not. Try reading that agreement a little closer next time. Of course you can always get insurance (above and beyond what they provide for free).

    Yeah, but in Russia, would it necessarily get there. I would suppose Canada's mail is better than ours in the US though.

    Nice job, troll, you suckered me in.

  8. Re:Get an Accountant on Tax Tips For Small Folks? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They don't care for small incomes. I've filed for friends and a couple corporations with relatively small incomes many times late. They will send you a statement with penalties on it (which aren't that much given the small income), but if you send in what you would have owed had you filed on time, they will drop the rest off your account.

    Tip: Learn how to play the system. Don't let the big IRS beuracracy hurt you, make it help you.

  9. Don't get an accountant on Tax Tips For Small Folks? · · Score: 1

    Just follow one simple rule this year: don't take more money as distributions than as salary.

    It sounds like you didn't have much revenue, and you had net income of around zero, so don't worry about it. They won't spend half a second on your return. And in the highly unlikely chance they do, any penalties are a percent of what you should have paid. n% of ~$0 = ~$0.

  10. Intel vs AMD on HD DVD Coming Very Soon · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    we recommend at least a 2.4 GHz Intel or AMD Athlon XP 2100+ or higher

    What is Microsoft saying, that a AMD Athlon XP 2100+ is as fast as a 2.4 GHz Intel? If that's the case, why isn't it a 2400+?

  11. Re:48.8 on How Broad is Broadband? · · Score: 1

    Proabably the line wasn't of high enough quality to allow the full 56.6.

  12. Re:What's needed on WA Legislature Makes It Easier To Sue Spammers · · Score: 1

    But you have to prove that the business did conspire with the spammer, which is going to be very hard to do. You can't assume, however likely, that a business conspired with the spammer if the business's products or services appeared in the spam.

  13. Re:Is bandwidth all that matters? on How Broad is Broadband? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The point is that its taken on two meanings, one being the technical meaning assigned by physicists (according to the article) and the other being the commerce meaning based on bandwidth (throughput).

    Best practice to whom? Also it should be pointed out that most European countries are smaller than the service areas of some of the Baby Bells.

    It's like people claiming Singapore has the highest wireless rate or something. Well yeah, they only need one tower.
