Survey Shows That Fox News Makes You Less Informed 1352

A survey of American voters by World Public Opinion shows that Fox News viewers are significantly more misinformed than consumers of news from other sources. One of the most interesting questions was about President Obama's birthplace. 63 percent of Fox viewers believe Obama was not born in the US (or that it is unclear).

The ISP runs an ISDN line (64k digital) that fools the link (ie modem to modem connection)into thinking it is running analogue data (back to you) when in fact it is running digital. At V90 modulations (56k) you need a bandwidth of about 150 Hz to about 3750 Hz. If there is more than 20dB drop between 3300 Hz and 3750 Hz, the link will fall back to V34 (33.6kbps), or the V90 will not be stable.
