Yes, I know, after the copper wire hits a switch of some kind, it probably gets routed over IP anyway, but at least with copper wire to your house, you almost always have a dial tone, hence 911.

I held onto my copper POTS line for years because of that. But it kept going out and I kept calling in for service. One time my wife called me and said the Verizon guy wanted to get into the basement. I was like "NO. THEY ONLY NEED TO FIX IT AT THE BOX OUTSIDE." She said he insisted he had to get in, so I had her put him on the cell phone with me and he said he had an order to install FIOS.

Of course I never signed up for FIOS so they had to requeue my service call. After a year of it going down about once a month, they finally won. I disconnected my POTS line and got a $12/month Vonage plan.

It is obvious that the society and culture are going to change over time, why fight it?

I wonder how Americans would feel if/when Spanish becomes the dominant language. It's already happening in some parts of the country.

Thanks for the warning. I don't take it often enough to probably hit that. The ibuprofen dose is only 200mg, which is one OTC pill.

I pretty much take maybe 1 or 2 a week at most as needed, but they keep me out of the hospital or urgent care place so it's worth it.

(Annoys me that pain pills are hard to get for people who really need them because some people abuse them...)

I take Vicoprofen (for migraine pain). It's mixed with Ibuprofen instead of Tylenol. It still makes me sick all day after taking it. No idea why people abuse it.

For me it comes down to a choice between being in horrible agony all day or having no pain but stuck in bed feeling dizzy and like shit all day. I'll take that over the pain.

Now there may be some anti-nausea I can take to counteract some of the negative affects, but I haven't asked my doctor about that because the effects now ensure I won't abuse it and I don't want to know otherwise I guess.

Yeah, and that makes sense. And that can be leveraged by smarter folk. Problem is, there's a lot of folk who buy into the world is ending tomorrow, buy gold now, constantly -- especially those who hate the current President. They are preyed upon by companies who sell gold. My point is, it's not always a safe investment, it's an asset for a larger portfolio that one has to be smart about, like any other asset in a portfolio.

Unfortunately many people aren't. :(

This won't kick in until the expansion comes out, so it won't be to max level. You'll still need to level it through the expansion. So there will be some learning involved still.

Hopefully the expansion leveling takes a bit of time. I was up to 90 after just two zones in MoP and skipped most of the rest of the zones.

My question is, can a new account do this right away or do you need to get at least one character to 90 the hard way first?

Not true. If you're willing to reduce your usage from a few hundred gigs a month to just 5 gigs a month, you can save $5 in some markets.

If you go over that pathetic amount, you end up paying $1 a gig. /snark

I wonder if anyone actually thinks this is a good deal.

Comcast brags (http://comcast6.net) that they are the largest ISP that supports ipv6. Oh wow, cool. I have a new modem that supports it as well as a home router.

So I go to figure out how to do it and find that they are only assigning /128s (single IPs) to only certain markets.

Who has a single computer hooked up to the Internet at home and nothing else?

No wonder it's not going anywhere. Even early-adopters can't get on easily without tunneling or other hack.
