If you read the OP carefully, all he says is that he replaced the routers - not that doing so actually fixed the problem.

Deteriorating SNR does seem the most likely explanation.

In alternate universe Soviet Russia... things are pretty normal, actually.

Crabs country-wide are quaking in their shells.

I was on UKFSN when I lived with people, but had to switch to a cheaper ISP when I started living on my own. If I could afford it I'd definitely go back, though - proper business-grade ADSL, a /29 subnet, fantastic latency and great customer support (it's run by a geek in his garage).

That was a couple of years ago so it may have changed, but I'd certainly be willing to try them again if I had the chance.

Because surviving is not the same as living. People need creature comforts in order to feel like people.

It may be able to withstand static pressures at the ocean's deepest points, but as soon as you start moving you get dynamic pressure from the bow wave at the front. If it was going fast enough, it could easily experience a pressure head of more than 37000 feet at the nose. Plus, craft like this will be built with a decent safety factor, hopefully at least 2.0, so the people inside it don't die if the engineers get their maths wrong.

That's consistent with what I'm seeing, actually. Do you know of any Chrome extensions that prevent ads from being loaded in the first place?

AdThwart. AdBlock for Chrome, essentially. Works fine for me.

Noone should be coerced into pleading guilty. Imagine he was innocent, but unfortunate enough to have the evidence against him. Now he either confesses to a crime he didn't commit, or gets convicted of "felony commercial burglary", a crime much bigger than the one he didn't commit.

I was reading the summary thinking "surely a telescope's sensitivity should be measured in arcseconds, and the minimum detectable speed should be in arcseconds-per-second rather than miles per hour." Of course they were talking about bodies moving toward and away from us, rather than across our field of vision, so it's a Doppler effect measurement rather than looking at a picture and saying, "hey! That bit moved!"

I've just had my big mug of coffee, but obviously it hasn't reached my brain yet :)

Apple may have given Roddenberry a Mac, but in a decade or so they'll be celebrating Asimov's 100th birthday with their new media-streaming, music playing domestic assistant, the iRobot.

Nice analogy =P

I'm tempted to improve that Wiki article on power-law fluids when I have a moment, so that it's more readily understood by those who haven't already learned the majority of what it's trying to explain...
