There are counties of some states that are larger than Rhode Island.

Obviously, the length of an hour should be scaled to the latitude.

We have the technology now - with GPS.

Don't knock "fat, dumb, and happy" - it beats most of the alternatives!

Oh, they will take pork, trust me - it is delicious!

You won't be seeing any non-pork eating nations on Mars anytime soon.

When you push the Enter button, it goes somewhere, you know not where.

Looks like a GPS tracking device criminals are required to wear.

That and some mean tattoos and you'll look like a real bad-ass!

Yes, my ISP (cox cable) provides usage statistics. I was only made aware of them when I got a nasty email warning that we had gone over our (250GB) limit! (Which I didn't know we had.)

Aside from the one time, we had a perfect storm of events ("big sale" at Steam, someone on a Netflix binge for days, while recovering from a medical procedure, etc).

Normally, my household usage is about 3GB /day (90GB/month).

I would be pissed too, about a proposed, new monthly tax that would be over $50, for me. (€40).

Killing things with pointy sticks ought to be in the curriculum of every school age child, you know, just in case [insert worst-case-scenario-here].

Ahh, the simple priorities of life.

How about a compelling reason?

People naturally say stuff without necessarily being correct.

Some of use are correct, more often than chance. Design some controlled research for that.

I understand different places have differing levels of "complexity" requirements for passwords, by why would there ever be a limit on the characters you can use?
One site might want 8 characters, with one number and one uppercase, and one special character, but they only allow "certain" special characters!

Some sites are ok with dashes, others, underscores... WHO CARES!

Oh, and don't get me started on credit card input "please enter just the number, no spaces or dashes" - Well, if you don't want the spaces and dashes in the user input, JUST FUCKING REMOVE them, and say "thank you" to the customer, who used to always be right, but now is apparently just a schmuck.

Was that too harsh?

Yeah... starting sometime after the 1940's

Just wait until electric cars that require commercial charging stations become popular.

The drop in gasoline tax revenue will logically lead to "car electricity" taxes... coming soon to a charging station near you.

Become a sesquipedalian - use fancy fonts, Bold, ALL CAPS, whatever it takes to be plaintext free!

Spider-Silk garments - how tacky!
