  1. Re:health insurance is like auto insurance now on House Passes Massive Medical Insurance Bill, 219-212 · · Score: 1

    Yes, but you're all communists living under oppressive regimes that stifle individual creativity and deny people the impetus and ability to make the use of their God-given talents, instead encouraging laziness and crime.

    How are the countries mentioned communist countries? For the love of all that you hold holy, stop spewing your childish shite and realize that America has one of the MOST broken systems for health care in the industrialized world. You were already paying for health care, whether you used it or not....Medicaid is just that, Medical Aid for the low income people....Where do you think that money comes from? At least now we're implementing something that actually makes sense.....

  2. Re:The answer is called "Naked DSL" on Broadband Access Without the Pork? · · Score: 1

    The United States Of America has this as well, as far back as 2004. The magic phrase (at least for DSL users) is "Dry Loop". A dry loop is a phone circuit that isn't connected to the telephony switches, only to the DSLAM...

  3. In case you don't know about iplocation on Best Way To Get Back a Stolen Computer? · · Score: 1

    http://www.geobytes.com/ipLocator.htm You can find the rough (city/state) location by going to that site and entering their Public IP address.

  4. Re:Get another internet connection on Can Any Router Guarantee Bandwidth For VoIP? · · Score: 1

    Perhaps you missed my atheist reasoning for posting "GAWD" instead of "GOD"...Some of us do not believe in the general population's monotheism, but still find that the phonetic "GAWD/GOD" causes the believer to respond appropriately.... No, on to your next "issue"....Not everyone can afford to pay their local phone/cable company for a second connection to the internet just because they're running a business out of their homes. Stop being asinine and do one of the following: 1. STFU 2. Help helpful In the user's constrains as mentioned in the post, and in the general spirit of the article, the request was about routers that could allocate SPECIFIC BANDWIDTH to a port/service. You in turn, insult the poster for even asking a question. That, my friend, is pretty much on my definition list of /. elitist asshole mentality... Have a nice day

  5. Re:Get another internet connection on Can Any Router Guarantee Bandwidth For VoIP? · · Score: 1

    Uhm...the poster already mentioned that the bittorrent box on the network was low priority, and was actually asking for help further improving the bandwidth restrictions... Gawd I hate people who just want to be rude to people instead of possibly helping them

  6. Re:The study agrees with what employers tell us. on Who are CIOs Planning to Hire Next? · · Score: 1

    I can personally attest to that point. I have been called a "jack of all trades, master of none", my skillset includes things like import engine rebuilding + repair, graphic and broadcast artist, network administrator, PHP/AEL/C developer, live and studio production engineer, etc.., and to top it all off, those are skills I have learned professionally or through self-education with professional experience later backing it up.

    Unfortunately, most employers want that slip of paper that says you were not only dedicated to learning something, but that you had the money to pay someone else to tell you what to read and help you understand things you had difficulty with. There's definitely more people who can learn quickly via higher education, but there's that select few that learn much better outside of the "normal" environment.

    Additionally, I'd like to add an extra note of agreement to the third item in BVis' list. It seems like I work crap jobs for months while trying to find a company that realizes I'm qualified for their open position AND a good investment, but the moment I have a solid position with a good company, my inbox is flooded with interview requests, etc.... Luckily, I learned my lesson about the grass not REALLY being greener back in '99 when I left a FOX affiliate for a startup graphic & web design company that changed their mind about the position the day AFTER my 30 day notice was up at the television station...

    ok...enough ranting...shutup Rushowr....
