Comment Re:Define "Conventional" (Score 0) 357

Being in the US, I looked at this as the number of times my W-2 payer actually changed (excluding company buy-outs, etc). So my number is 4. I think that's an amazingly small number for 29 years in IT. Over that time, with just 4 companies, I've worked for more groups with more job descriptions than I can remember.

Comment Leave the term 'broadband' alone / add a new term (Score 0) 426

I propose that we leave the term 'broadband' alone, leaving it to its current 'definition' in the various contexts outside of 'true' speed. Rather, we enforce the use of another statistic that indicates what the consumer should expect in 'real world' scenarios. The providers should be forced to put that statistic, with very clear labeling, in their propaganda.

Only if you never leave the house and thus have access to a keyboard all the time. Otherwise voice is just simply more convenient for expressing yourself quickly and clearly than text, in my opinion.

My mobile has a keyboard. The nice thing about any texting mechanism is that one doesn't have to respond immediately. With voice, all parties have to agree that it's a convenient time for all to talk. With e-mail or IM, I can respond when it's convenient for _me_.
