The problem is that at the handoffs, it's kinda murky water on who takes care of what. It shouldn't be, but it is. Cogent (when I sub-contracted for them) was fond of saying that it was always the other providers fault. Then you have to get a Cogent tech and a Verizion or AT&T or Comcast tech in the same cage…

I used to do low level NOC support for Cogent when I worked for a sub-contractor, it was always a fist fight to get anything done for them besides a basic BGP update. No one in the industry had any desire to work with them.

Let she who already makes $350/hr at their regular job, cast the first stone

Damn kids, get off my lawn!

I've been paying them for a few years now, it's a great service and well worth the $25 a year

As a semi-pro photographer, I always think that I can take a good shot in almost any situation. Pro sports photography, however, is completely different. That's got to be some of the hardest, if not the most hard, things to shoot. Mad respect for these photographers and editors. Consistently amazing.

you mean, a Fisker Karma?

I've backed 27 projects on Kickstarter, received the reward for 26 and 1 didn't fund. Clearly, YMMV

Best mission of any FPS shoot-em-up was the one in COD4 where you were the gunner in a Spectre. I still play that mission to this day, only reason COD is still installed.

From the no-shit-sherlock dept, we read this tidbit in the Wikipedia article:

I believe the term is eskimo brothers.

Ah! I heard the french VO and, this being an Airbus (based in Toulouse), I assumed the participants would be French. I listened again and I think you're right.

Speaking French makes this video much funnier. Listening to the attendants yell out 'dégage' and 'bougez' was delightful.

I'd be surprised that NBC did that...since they are owned by Comcast

He gave the same explanation at the Salt Lake ComicCon a few months back, expounding a little more on why he hates DC and their lack of physics.
