No, the market wants improved backhaul. But the telco's don't like actually building telecommunications networks, so they institute caps instead.

Passing on the right is legal on a 2-lane road, if the person being passed is making a left turn and waiting for oncoming traffic, and the passing vehicle doesn't leave pavement.
Those are not conditions you see on a road with multiple lanes in the same direction, and never on a freeway where there is limited access and exit ramps. If this guy is really doing 45 in the right lane on a multi-lane highway, he should NEVER be passed on the right unless someone is illegally passing on the shoulder.
shit - The suspension ISN'T just there to make the ride more comfortable.
Typos are apparently infectious.
Going further, if the suspension is shit the vehicle will "brake dive" causing WAY more load on the front axle, thus causing way more load on the front brakes and tires. If they're crap too, or the tires are crap, you go into a skid. And that's when you crash.
The suspension is just there to make the ride more comfortable - it serves a very important safety purpose.
Washington State actually has a law that you have to keep right except passing, and I've seen them pull people over and cite them for camping the left lane.
Of course, this is also in the same state where I've seen them pull people over in a police truck that has a trailer with a cardboard horse in it. They love stroking tickets in Washington.
If you're truly in the right lane doing 45, how are you being passed on the right? They blowing past you on the shoulder? That's already illegal.
Good thing most cars that feel safe at that speed have the technology to still get 30 MPG at that speed. Or, at least, mine does and it's a 2008 model year.
No, I am not. I don't identify completely with any of the parties.
If we go to some scheme where I vote for a party rather than a person, you are taking my vote and giving it to an organization that either is opposed with what I think is sound fiscal policy but I agree with on social principles, or giving it to an organization that I agree with their fiscal proposals, but are complete wing nuts when it comes to social issues and the environment.
I'd rather vote for a guy who aligns with my beliefs as much as possible, than vote for the party plank that I hate the least, and then have that party install some person I've never heard of to supposedly represent me. That's not how we play pool.
Well, the only thing that can gerrymander a United States Senator is the borders of a state, and those don't change much, and certainly not because of the census.
Gerrymandering at the federal level is strictly a phenomenon of the U.S. House of Representatives, as the 435 seats of that body are reapportioned based on the United States Census every 10 years, per the constitution.
Each district has precincts, but that's likely the lowest the data goes.
But it would require voting for a party, rather than a person. I'm not represented by a political party - I'm represented by Steve.
It would also require a constitutional amendment, passed by whom? Good luck with that.
And they tied individual votes to a geographical address, how? If they couldn't do that (and they couldn't) then they would have had to tie it to precinct results, which is going to decrease 'resolution' so to speak.
Yes, there is gerrymandering. And it's effective, which is why it's been used since the early 19th century. But there's more going on in the balloting booth than two checkboxes for D or R. Maybe some democrats voted for a republican candidate because the democrat was a shrew with no good ideas? Or vice-versa?
This is why we vote for candidates, and not parties.
So we'd be voting for a party rather than an individual with his or her own ideas? That's a step backwards.
I really hope you are trying to be funny.
Yeah, because there is absolutely no use for having large storage capacities with even bigger video formats on the way. Or with people wanting to not deal with optical media anymore. And there is absolutely no use in business of keeping large amounts of data online.
Have you even seen the camera density in a large retail store these days? Do you think that video might get stored somewhere for legal purposes if there's an issue, or do you think they have 50 VHS recorders in the back?
