Verizon, Comcast, Cox, Charter et al will still be the Governor Chris Christie of the interwebs...

This is also a good point for cable companies to cut the cord themselves, divesting themselves of expensive and bandwidth intensive video transmission.

My all time favorite of the cars that I have owned, actually my first car, a 1965 Oldsmobile f85 had wing windows (vent windows) and the gas filler was behind the spring loaded rear license plate. The stock transmission was a little dodgy for acceleration, but the top end was delicious especially on surf trips down…

Wow. Thank you for saying this. Keep winning, every single second, every minute and every hour of the day. What you wrote is incredibly moving and again, thank you for expressing your thoughts.

And just to add a little tech fact into the convo, cable modems will break eventually if they are not dialed in signal level-wise. If that little bastard is running at max transmit, that is having to push as hard as it can because the upstream and downstream levels are at the outside edge of the spec then yes,…

As a cable nerd and longtime employee of one of the most hated cable companies on the planet, I have nothing but big love for your post. A properly dialed in D3.0 modem, signal level optimized at the premise and the cable plant running as smooth as a babies bottom is the shit, by far. Six channels of happy little…

Not disagreeing that it sucks and it is kind of dumb to pay for modem rental. Along those same lines, you would not even believe the amount of people that not only pay a monthly modem rental fee but they also opt for wireless service with TWC and it's attendant additional monthly charge. Could be for any reason or a…

Coscto Kirkland Brand. Because it seems like a good deal. Plus welcome to Costco, I love you.

Ok, this is going to be tl;dr and maybe a few "cool story, bro" replies but here it goes:

Point taken but I think it is grossly speculative that he has given away 70 million bucks. Not dissing the guy at all, I mean in 2011 he gave his stock dividends back to employees to the tune of 3 million dollars. That is really cool. Also, in 2012 they reported 92 million in pre-tax profit so prior to his windfall,…

Goodnight, funny lady.

There are a bunch of details to this that to me, shed a whole other light on this story. The gist of it is that consensual sex turned into anal rape and it wasn't the first time that she had hooked up with the guy. Once things took a bad turn, she claims she told him to stop and to me, that is rape - without…

His name is out there, FYI. The details of this are pretty bizarre, where consensual sex turned into anal rape. Read this and judge for yourself. http://columbiaspectator.com/news/2014/05/1…

I could see how that would be rage inducing. Good point!

Exactly. And it's not like he played poorly. He just wasn't as good as the next guy. He is far from done in the NFL, in my opinion. He also plays a position where guys routinely get hurt during the season, someone will probably pick him up now or later, or maybe he ends up worse case on the practice squad for the…

Your "distraction" argument is thinly veiled homophobia because you view his being gay, rather than actual incidents like killing a teammate, as a problem.

So did they ever say why Keiser jumped the guy?

No worries at all man!

So is it a bit of an oversimplification or a gross oversimplification? I just made a comment on a thread, I didn't write a paper, just an opinion. You might want to re-read it, like this part:
