Part of the issue is that Verizon is a last-mile network, and does not sell symmetric bandwidth to its subscribers. So, the typical agreement between providers - where they each send about the same amount of traffic to each other and upgrade the interconnects to handle that traffic - will not work between Verizon and Level 3. Verizon (and the vast majority of other last-mile providers, including Comcast) will NEVER have a balanced interconnection with Level 3, because the home subscribers can all download far faster than they can upload.

Really, it's Verizon's customers who are causing all this bandwidth usage, so it should be Verizon ensuring that their interconnects can handle the requested bandwidth. If anything, Verizon (and Comcast) should be paying Level 3 for additional download capacity... but we all know that is never going to happen.

Judging by the expired domains I used to have registered through namecheap that are currently available, they don't squat expired domains.

Not with the law. With the legal system. Cases that get to the Supreme Court go through the lower courts first.

Well, Intel's Iris Pro reportedly has performance similar to the nVIDIA GT 640M, with significantly lower power consumption. It's far better than Intel's previous integrated graphics offerings.

You could, if there were versions of iOS or Windows compatible with its hardware. I mean, the Nexus doesn't prevent you from installing other OSs - take a look at Ubuntu Touch.

Try looking through this list to see if any of those companies offer what you need.

A bunch of MVNOs will allow that, too.

No... T-mobile's phone payments are at 0% interest. You're confusing them with Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint.

I've been using it for a year... plays netflix video just fine on my ubuntu laptop. http://www.compholio.com/netflix-desktop/

That's still giving money to a cable provider for a ton of shit that I'll never watch. No thanks.

It's every 6 years for each senator, with a subset of them up for re-election every 2 years.

Prosecute them for fraud, or stop offering such discounts on phones.

Use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and install appropriate software. Maybe even hook it up to a larger screen via whatever video output is available. Once that's complete, it's no more difficult than doing it on a traditional PC. Maybe a little slower, but totally possible.

Sounds like someone's never heard of Steam Mover. Moves games between directories (even across drives) using junction points. Set your steam install directory to the large slow spinning HDD, and use Steam Mover to swap a couple games you play often to the SSD.

Except at launch, the xbox with the 20GB HDD was $399.99, or $299.99 without a HDD. Want to upgrade your launch xbox to a more reasonably sized hard drive? I hope you're ready to pay extra. Oh shit, did your xbox get a red ring of death while out of warranty? Guess you'll have to buy another! Also, have fun with the $50/year for xbox live if you want to play multiplayer!

So, 5 years of xbox 360:
1. Launch console, $400
2. New HDD, $100
3. Replacement console after RROD, $300
4. 5+ years of xbox live, $250+

Total: $1050+

Suddenly, that $800+ on a PC doesn't look so bad.
