I will have to check this one out, I was just about to pull the trigger on the Big Agnes double bag. I sleep very warm and my girlfriend sleeps very cold, snuggling is the only way to keep her warm and happy shy of a -40 degree mountaineering bag for 3 season use.

Also there is an unpaved alternate route that I prefer in my current vehicle. I won't mention it here but the locals know what I am talking about and in the right vehicle you can hit some serious speed without seeing another car the whole way.

I just drove I-70 from Glenwood Springs to Denver today. Absolutely love Glenwood Canyon, hitting those metal expansion joints mid-corner is always fun for the uninitiated.

I don't see anything Jeep about this buggy

Yep, same username in the Blueroom. The Load Range E Duratracs seem as soft as the Load Range C BFG AT K/O's I was running previously, so there's that I suppose.

Good God, at least one other person has a grasp on the situation. This article is absurd.

You realize Comcast is absorbing all of this traffic from Netflix with no network augmentation. They already had the capacity to support it, and then some. It was the middlemen between Netflix's previous peering partner (Cogent) and Comcast that where struggling. Why would Comcast (Or Netflix for that matter) pay out

Everyone does pay and always have. If you want to co-locate some servers and serve up some content you are paying someone for that bandwidth. Netflix was previously paying Cogent and now they are paying Comcast and Verizon to render the same services on their networks.

This has absolutely nothing to do with Net Neutrality. This is a carrier peering arrangement. Nothing is changing beyond who they choose to do business with. They were paying the lowest cost provider for their peering, now they are peering directly with the big players that serve a majority of their customer base

This will be interesting. Netflix accounts for about 1/3 of all internet traffic in America and has (Last I looked) over 30 million US subscribers. AmazonPrime's numbers are 1/2 to 1/3 and that is including the people (Such as myself) that don't even use the video services and just subscribe to support our online

Definitely the best all terrain I have found, drastically better than the BFG AT K/O on the snow and ice. Seem every bit as good off road and ride smooth. They do tend to howl a bit when they are nearing the end of their treadlife but that's a minor complaint. I got 60k out of my first set and if I wasn't heading into

I didn't see the most important detail included in this article, does it still include locking F/R differentials?

Hey somebody who actually understands what is going on. Kudos

The capacity issue has absolutely nothing to do with Comcast. Comcast is taking on this direct peering arrangement with ZERO network augmentation. It is a MASSIVE influx of traffic and Comcast has plenty of overhead in their network to absorb it without flinching. The problem is the middlemen Netflix was using to get

One thing you are overlooking is the sheer scale of this whole deal. Comcast's network moves more bits than any other network in the world. Peaking their I-Bone (Comcast speak for Internet Backbone, as opposed to the C-Bone which carries TV and multicast) at about 8.5Tbps, the deal with Comcast is expected to increase

You are overlooking a large portion of what is driving this deal. You mention broadband but it is specifically enterprise that is driving the merger not residential or small business broadband services.

This was "7th grade A/V Class project" bad. Wow.

You're not going to take a non-tracked vehicle into deep powder without instantly burying it. Sure you can drive up ski slopes or packed out trails, I do a fair bit of wheeling in the snow and a good set of chains will get you lots of places but you just don't have the surface area to float on top of the snow. Get

I've driven in SF and live in a hilly area and have never thought to use the handbrake to help me park. However the Electronic brake disengages as soon as you hit the gas so it would still be useful, perhaps even more convenient.

I am actually reverting after a decade of solely using projectors. The quality and impact of a well setup projector is unparalleled but my viewing has become more ad more casual and often I leave the display on more for background noise while I work than anything else, also the projector definitely has a tendency to
