(Perhaps this displays why using Netflix as the quintessential argument FOR net neutrality is a poor idea, since it is easy to dismiss it as just selfish people who want their movies to run without interruption even if it means everyone else's network experience suffers.)
Yeah, stupid selfish customers actually wanting to use the 6 Mbps they paid for.
That is a scooter, it actually has a completely different category with insurance companies as a proper motorcycle does. At least my experience shopping for my daughter when she was 18 it was that way, I was told point blank, "if you bought her a scooter instead of a 250cc ninja the insurance would be dramatically lower."
Good to know, thanks. I thought it was based strictly on engine size.
I see that you edited out the part where I said it likely made the price of the seat cheaper for someone else. In other words, the seat is unlikely to go empty.
To a point. A 737 seats about 137 passengers, so the number of people who can affect whether the entire flight happens or is cancelled is relatively small.
Insurance rates are disgustingly high for anyone 18-25
Shop around. When I was 23 I had PL/PD/Medical on my 250cc Helix for $75/year from Progressive--and that was in the SF Bay Area.
But the plane would still fly without your single seat. Only collective action, in the form of many people not flying, can help in this case
A 737 on a 2 hour flight uses 7kg less fuel for every passenger removed. That's about 3.2 gallons of Jet A. Every little bit, it turns out, does help.
I must have been reading a different article. The one I read had working Fusion reactors, cars that float above the ground, Cubic TVs, windowless underground houses, no electic cords, colonies on the moon and automatic cooking machines in every kitchen.
And human-like robots in every house, but computers that were still massive building-sized devices that required scientists keying in instructions on punch cards or ticker tape to use.
But how about if you're pushing a large bank of snow? Or pulling stumps?
Throw some stuff in the bed? I wonder if there's stuff you could throw in the back of a snowplow truck that would weigh it down while plowing snow, but then magically drain out of the truck when the weather warmed up.
Pack with you? Because that's a concern with desktop workstations?
The CPU and two video cards have a combined TDP of 680 watts--and that's not including chipset, RAM, drives, power supply, etc. I hope this thing has lead weights in the bottom; otherwise, the fans needed to keep it from melting into a pile of slag will scoot it across the desk when they spin up.
That's shit. My parent's car will get almost 50mpg. It's a diesel. My car will get more than 30mpg, and it'll do 0-60 in 6.
From your own link, that 40 mpg includes the carbon involved in manufacturing the vehicle and well-to-wheels comparison, so emissions-wise, it depends on the power mix. From that same page, the Nissan Leaf in California puts out emissions equivalent to a 70 mpg petrol car.
The right wing tends to be against regulation that erodes personal freedoms.
Did you really just say that with a straight face? DOMA, blue laws, the drug war...
The simple fact is that if everyone did 10 MB of volume per month, the past 10 years of money spent on infrastructure upgrades would have been unnecessary. The upgrades were done for those who use 10 GB, but paid for equally by everyone. Make a case where that's fair.
Wait, they paid for upgrades? My DSL is the same 6Mbps down/768k up that has been around for a decade--except they call it "U-Verse" now and charge three times as much.
And that's after the hundreds of millions in taxes that were added to our bills to fund those infrastructure programs. The telcos basically kept that money.
Yes... Just fine. Those stories of long waits, or unavailable diagnostic care are just rumors, I am sure...
Hey, just like my HMO.
Now that I'm in South Carolina, my apartment complex forces me into AT&T U-Verse, and it's not bad, but not great.
Is it real U-Verse? Around here, rather than actually deploy U-Verse, AT&T simply renamed all of its old crappy DSL offerings "U-Verse", so now they proudly offer U-Verse... with up to 6Mbps download and 768k upload speeds.
