Fixed that for ya. Don't go selling Ballmer short.
Well, left wing lunatics just cry, wring their hands, and spend money.
Right wing lunatics shoot people and blow stuff up.
So yeah, I'd say replacing them with left wing lunatics is better.
Five years? That's insanely optimistic.
Five months, if they're lucky.
It seems the reality is that most of these Cable broadband companies are simply lacking in competent IT, networking and Executive staff.

This too, shall pass.
If Harper and his cronies get their way there will recording and monitoring devices installed in every ISP in the country. There goes your privacy.
