Im an hour north of nyc and i am billed at 50/15, top tier is 75/30 but i get regularly between 40/15 with peaks of 60/20 I dont understand why i have better upload speed around here when most i know with the same DL have way lower UL but the speeds are just fine where we are
Great point. I was never a half life fan, but i did love how things worked with half life. Hell I even made a few mods for the game (working with a friend on an ICP mod level and characters) because it was so easy. I miss the days of DK quake and HL
diablo 3 release was just as bad, I spent a month trying to get a refund with no luck. I dont know why more people are not still bitching about them as well to be honest. I saw sim having a problem, so i waited and im glad i did.
Both are in the bill of RIGHTS, its not the bill of WANTS. Anything in the bill of RIGHTS, is fair to compare to anything else in the bill of RIGHTS, because if we can restrict 1 RIGHT, we can restrict ANY.
troll? hardly. think about the people who are barely getting by, now think about how the cost of fuel going up even slightly can mean you might not even be able to afford oil to heat your home. I am not talking about the middle class or the rich, im talking about the people who struggle day to day. these are the people that are hurt by the artificial price increases
what after affects of slavery do we still face today, I am honestly curious on that because I dont know anyone who was a slave or whos father/mother was a slave
sorry but "think of the children" is an automatic losing argument for me. as I said, let the early adopters pick up the high price tag and let the lower class continue to survive instead of jacking up the costs on their needs
dont get me wrong, i use LEDs myself, but im fazing them in slowly, as older bulbs die, and the cost becomes reasonable. I still see some LED options at 50$ a bulb in lowes vs a 150 watt bulb for 96 cents. I cannot for the life of my justify the extra 49$ to do the same job. now there are other bulbs that are cheeper this is true, but if you have say 20-50 lights in your home, 50 bucks to do the entire house or 1000 to do the entire house? if im making the cash its one thing, i know many people who 1000 in a month makes them happy.
no one is saying that we cant ease out "dirty" tech, simply that we do it over time. Instead of inflating the existing costs of enery to make green techs look better now, all while hurting the people at the bottom the most, gas is 4 bucks a gallon, 10 years ago it was 98 cents. instead of trying to make it all happen at once (in the scheme of things) let the tech mature. All technology matures, some faster than others, but let the tech mature and bring the price down to the levels of mature tech. not everyone jumps in to be a early adopter, most people wait for the price to drop, a 10K PC 8 years ago costs a few hundred bucks today.
is exactly this. Now I dont know anyone who in their right mind wants to "destroy the environment" yet for the most part, environmentalists work on a knee jerk reaction style of attack. "green" energy is too expensive to compete with proven yet "dirty" tech? well instead of developing the green tech to compete we must artificially increase the cost of the dirty fuel! we cant use plain old light bulbs anymore, that use more power (and give off heat, thus meaning one could in theory keep their heater lower) and now we are stuck with CFLs that are worse for the environment than the old bulbs!
The idea of "saving the earth" is a good one, but on the other hand, the earth will be fine long after humans inhabit it.
we need more of that! I am sick of people, congress or the president putting into a bill something that pissess off 99% of the population, yet knowing the bill will pass because of the rest of the bill. I dont want 1000 page bills, i want 2-10 page bills
Congress votes it yes, they are to blame just as much, but obama COULD veto, yet he wont. Besides the president is in charge, the one in charge is always held responsible.
to be fair, NASA gets all the cuts by congress first. On top of that, everytime they have a multi year-decade plan, the *insert sitting president here* decides that the *insert previous president here*'s plan is no good, and makes NASA start over or shift to a new project. It really is no wonder why NASA is not what it could be, just follow the money
I never believed it, I was simply pointing out that publicly, cook said this, and now he is going in the opposite direction. But I do agree with your point.
I thought the sitting CEO said he never wanted to sue to begin with, that the case was already in play when jobs died. If that were true, why a new lawsuit??
but until someone has bought it for 10$, giving that money to the rightsholder, there are no 3$ copies. Also what happens when amazon stops carrying said book in the ecatalog?
how do you figure they stand to lose more revenue? for one, no overhead (or much less) to host a few meg/gig file than to have a warehouse of 1 million books. Secondly the secondary market has not hurt book authors to the extent that we no longer have authors, why would this be any different? These copyrights holders want to sell you "the right to view/read/listen to X" but they dont want to allow you to own X. that is the key issue at hand.

to be fair there were a lot of people who openly admitted they voted for him simply because he is black as well.

I for one say good. The last good EA game I can think of was tony hawk 2

everyone is a "criminal" based on the law, if all laws were enfored fully 100% of the time. I can think of a few ways everyone breaks the law daily
hitler was elected to office
hitler was not a tyrant???

It really is that simple.

thank you, for proving my point actually.

yes i understand they are different, but it was the last article, cut me some slack
they went extinct! But I hear someones bringing them back

A lot of them are, who do you think is working for the private start ups? ex NASA
