Yeah it's bad to gloat. But Google Fiber is the bomb. My network latency on my MMO of choice dropped from 140ms to 45ms. I don't miss Time-Warner at all.

I worked at H&R Block for a tax season. I used TurboTax, and so my manager and a lot of the people I worked with there. I'm not sure how their online service is now, but the year I worked there, they screwed up a bunch of their e-filings royally. It was ugly.

I just received a nice letter from TWC with "Great News. You're getting another special rate." printed on the outside. In it I was told that my promotional rate of $53.98 was expiring, and since they are such great guys, they aren't going to raise it to $78.98, instead it would be only $61.98 (in other words, we could be ass-raping you, but we decided to only force you to give us a blow-job). All that for service with lag spikes every 20-30 minutes and random drops twice a day and only 12 Mbps out of the 25 I am signed for. A coworker whose son works for TWC tells me the price-hike is all the fault of the networks demanding more money from TWC. How is that my problem? When I went over to internet only, they sent a guy around to put a filter on my line to prevent me from getting even basic cable. I can't even get a local station through them. They sent this letter the week that the Google Fiber guys put their Fiber Jack in my apartment. Nothing is turned on yet, but I can't wait. Please Google - come take my data/money.

My thought when I wanted to play around with encryption was to use the least significant bits (or some other mutually agreed formula) from a music CD as a one-time pad. Never actually tried it, but it would give someone fits to try and figure out.

Which is obviously an attempt to bolster your insanity plea.

And nothing of value was lost...

As someone with only one functional eye, I sure hope that 3D doesn't become the standard and screw me over.

I was given a prescription of amitriptyline to help reduce my migraines a few years ago. After taking it for a week, I found that I'd lost all interest in music. I stopped taking it because it really messed me up in other ways such as sleeping 12+ hours a day, but by the time I dropped it music was just a horrible cacophany to me. Glad to say that went away after I stopped taking it, but strangely, banjo still sucks to me.
