It certainly seems to cause some miscreants to turn Bach around and walk away.

But I'm certain that for many people, a tablet is going to replace a laptop. A tablet is just that much more portable.

This is considered news for nerds, but not the passing of Christopher Hitchens? Seriously?

I'm glad to see the man go, but I think Hitchens made more of an impact on this community than did Kim Jong-il.

Experiences like that vary from place to place. I've seen areas where Uverse was as shitty as dial-up, and in other areas where it's no question the best service available. Same with Charter, and other cable companies.

WNR3500L

I put Tomato (by far the best firmware for a router ever made) on it, and it works like a charm. They can be found pretty easily on eBay and other places for $40 to $70.

I think we've past the tipping point already. At the least, I don't think we can change our habits enough to prevent climate change at this point, so...

I think we need to start planning for the aftermath of all of this, and do as much as we can in preparation for those changes. Unfortunately I don't think we will, and all I can see is a lot of people needlessly suffering for it all.
