Yeah, the trouble is, the people who want to walk around naked are generally the ones you'd least like to see undressed...
You do realize that range of temperatures is from the low point at night to the high point during the day, right? I see nothing "impressive" about the range of temps. It looks like a perfectly normal forecast. Perhaps you're just not acquainted with how weather is predicted and reported?
I should perhaps have been clearer about the actual temps at the time - yesterday's high here was 61F, which is far lower than the low end of the range Iris gave me, never mind the high end.
It happened many times over the course of history.
Name three instances. Be as specific as possible.
Digital cable normally works unidirectionally, think multicast. The header sends information for all the receivers, is not point to point like the internet. So, it doesn't matter that you don't want to see the channel, they still have to send it because somebody else *might* want to see it. And, yes, the channel guide travels in the "background".
That's mostly correct but some providers are trialling switched digital video (google it), which will only add to the latency issue.
Yeah, except this isn't 250 gigs, it's 31.25 gigs, also known as 250 gigabits.
Except it's not:
"As of October 1, 2008, data usage above 250 Gigabytes ("GB") per month per Comcast High-Speed Internet residential customer account is considered excessive."

But if you want to pretend that any given gay men are just as likely to like sports as musical theater, I'm certainly not stopping you.
It might depend on the crowd and especially on the sport.
None of the gay dudes I know are into musical theatre, but they all love soccer. Go figure.
Life imitating art?

I'm not sure I that most Americans appreciate just how right wing, conservative, pretty, ill-educated, reactionary, selfish, jingoistic, partisan, anti-intellectual, anti-science and anti-reason US politics appears from the external point of view.
From your external point of view, or from the point of view that's been sold to you by your own media and politicians? I'm sure it's pleasing to imagine that you hold some privileged frame of reference, but maybe it's possible that the people telling you these things are telling you the things you want to hear, and the things they want you to believe.
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
