Congratulations! I knew if I kept reading I would sooner or later find someone with fingers jammed into their ears singing "LA LA LA LA, I'm better than they are because they're fat" and you are the first! Honestly I'm surprised I had to scroll down this far to find it.

You see, some people have other things to do.

So good for you that your free time, personal interests and gut bacteria aligned in your favor, but you might want to can that 'lazy' talk. Consider, Sammo Hung is also fond of the martial arts and though he is in good shape, that shape is round.

Since in networking, fair billing is generally considered to be 95th percentile of the data rate (not volume), that would amount to a fixed billing (since the connection only goes so fast).

The power company fairly charges for amount rather than rate because they have to burn fuel based on amount. ISPs have to deploy capacity based on rate but it costs the same when it is idle most of the time as when it is fully utilized.

Perfect time for a car analogy

if you buy a PC in the stores, it will have fans and heatsinks. They will do the job MOST people want from it. but if one wants to take said car to the track, (push the CPU) they might make some upgrades. such as a cold air intake, picture an upgraded cooler on a PC as a cold air intake on a car, it doesnt add a whole lot to the deal ,but it does make a difference.

You seem unaware that the law is mostly a protest.

Because you've never seen it in the news it has never happened. Check.

There were only two sentences in my paragraph, was it really too hard to read BOTH of them? But, in general, it seems like the sort of thing the news would be all over reporting considering the hysteria over laser pointers and such.

There are areas of Oregon (and probably California) where it is well known that you don't fly within shotgun range of the ground because the planes tend to come back with holes in them.

Add a tiny little town in Co. to the list and you're golden!
