It is not that difficult I am sure there are plenty of ppl out here who have done better than me but here is what i do I routinely work with 56K, with latency hitting 800-1200ms(extremely poor ISP). Just need to adjust your browsing behavior accordingly. Unless I absolutely must, almost always have images and plugins are disabled. I prefer using links as a browser for reading news and blogs, by and large these sites do not require JS for the basic functioning. As a bonus, it is probably as safe as using noscript stringently, and also perhaps protect against the obscure img hacks? Also if possible i avoid using browser based applications when i can use desktop applications using appropriate protocols such mail clients, chat apps etc, or use apps that really use web storage properly, so you don't really feel the speed issue. By and large I find more than speed it the latency is this bigger problem. Of course i enjoy normal speeds like everyone else when i return to civilization so to speak.

Well that really depends on how death is defined :D

While Vaccination as a theory/concept itself is not a bad thing, there are enough defective/ improperly prepared/ fake vaccines in the world that if you not worried about it, you are just being foolhardy. To be clear I am not implying that avoiding vaccines is the solution, just that there is some validity on the other side of the argument as well.

confuses the hell out of ppl :)

SSID is also used as part of the salt in WPA, so perhaps not as useless as you think it is,

The assumption that sustained focus in mass audience was possible in earlier age is just fanciful, ppl did and will always find things to distract attention from the subject. If the subject is not good enough to capture the attention of the audience the minds are going to wander no matter what
