I feel sorry for those using cable and the shared pipe it implies.

I LOL'd, don't worry. I would have modded your original retort as Funny were it not for obvious reasons (having already posted in the thread).

Oh please...stop with the FUD. I've yet to see any evidence of throttling. Now it could be because I have FIOS Quantum and an over 80 Mbps connection, but like I said I have no issues. Also, I work in IT security as a consultant, not for the FCC so you can stop with the insults :)

No thanks, but I'll go to your funeral if you want to volunteer to do so.

Nobody is stopping you from watching videos on Youtube at a lower framerate.

I have Verizon FIOS and I haven't had a single problem with Youtube, or Netflix for that matter.

Seriously. While I've done small C/C++ programs with just a text editor, and IDE is virtually a must for any sort of medium to large sized project.

Ultimately the genome is what really matters. That's not to say we shouldn't try to be better to our environment here on our home planet, but in terms of the very long term it's the genome that matters the most.

When you make an extraordinary claim the onus is on you to offer proof. All evidence we have to date suggests that C is a constant and has not changed. Therefor, if you assert that it does change it's on you to prove your claim, not for others to disprove it.

Just imagine the shipping costs, seeing as the density of a white dwarf is 109 kg/m3, about 200,000 times that of the Earth!

Make sure you insure the package too.

There is no spoon.

Your mileage may vary I suppose. I've been working in IS/IT for over twenty years now. I've programmed, done tech support, went into server and network infrastructure, then operations and project management for some years, now I'm back in an engineering role doing security work. I love my job. I look forward to it almost each and every day (I say almost because we *all* have bad days at work and in life). I guess I'm lucky for that. I really love my job, the company I work for, and my peers. The pay is awesome as well. Sure sometimes the hours get long and sometimes there are frustrations, but all in all I can't imagine being happier with a career path, realistically speaking.

No, there are layers of Federal judiciary. This ruling came from a District Federal Court, not the SCOTUS.

The highest end Intel processors have 3-4 billion transistors.

Don't buy into the shell game played by both sides of the aisle. Both are equally bad and stopped caring about anything but their own power and wallets long, long ago. They play both sides against the middle constantly. It's just a shell game.
