When are we going to get him on here for an interview?

This. Absolutely this.

Howdy neighbor! :)

I was one of the first customers to snag 1 Gbps when EPB dropped the price to $70.

Even though Comcast has announced 2 Gbps, I have 0 intentions of switching. My service is rock solid. Whenever I have a rare question concerning the service, I call EPB and it's a local person who is friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and doesn't immediately blame the problem on user side equipment.

Just from looking the LKML, it appears there were some issues that the usual suspects involving code quality (Linus, Greg K-H) were arguing over. The fun and excitements starts at http://article.gmane.org/gmane....

You've obviously never read a post by Linus where he was genuinely pissed off. Reading comprehension would tell you that he was expressing mild disgust over the number of people who either failed to comprehend his instructions, or comprehended them and did it anyway.

But hey, believe what you want if it makes you happy! :)

Can pay $70.00/month for 1Gbps symmetric fiber...

If I look at it's UI and think, "1990's AOL called and wants its interface back"... I'm not interested.

It is, however, starting to boil over. History has a way of repeating itself. From my generation, it was the HellKitten incident and the Quake Green Ribbon Campaign. For people who have no clue as to what I'm talking about:


Quake Green Ribbon Campaign

The Alienware "Trapezoidal" Area 51 Case.


Jesus... That thing is ugly.

So... People wouldn't be willing to pay 11-12 pounds (19-20 USD) extra a month for an ad free Internet? Really? o.O

Look, we all know the answer to this.

For Dropbox to get access to China, they have to allow the Chinese National Security Commission unfettered access to their resident's Dropbox accounts.

I was an early adopter, joining the game in the Vanilla WoW beta. I ran one of the top 5 Alliance raiding guilds on the Bronzebeard server in Vanilla (Exiled Kingdom) until politics and my burn out of having the second job of running a guild killed it. I played regularly until 2009, when I returned to school.

WoW Vanilla was awesome.
The Burning Crusade was okay.
Wrath of the Lich King was epic.
Cataclysm was the beginning of the end.
Mists of Pandaria was the core collapse of the game... I'm still trying to decide if it's a black hole or a neutron star.

Killing theorycrafting by revamping the trees, introducing Pokemon, making Pandarians as a race... It has all contributed to breaking the back of the game. I left WoW and have not been back since. I moved on to Star Wars: The Old Republic and I've not looked back.

I realize that consistency is highly overrated... but is the CEO's last name Dalwat or Dawlat?
