Hey, that's the computer monitor I use when I'm at my parents'!
@not.yet: God... if only that could be possible.
@wheresmyjetpack: Oh I know that's what you were saying, I just needed to rant.... more.
@fightingevilsoyoudonthaveto: In the back, past the library... duh...
This seems relatively simple enough to make.... question becomes, how much would it cost to build, and how much does it sell for?
@GoodBytes: Yeah, Cogeco's good like that too, but they've also got their own set of problems.
@staticfive: Uhh... you said it. "Huge ISP profits." Did you really expect anything else?
@Enkidu98001: Didn't the Supreme Court recently rule they were corporations?
@wheresmyjetpack: That's what the bandwidth caps do. They make it so you can't get rid of cable and only watch TV over the internet, because if you do that, you'll have to pay such a large sum that it'll be similar to what you were paying that same company for internet+cable before. It's scary, but watching a…
@phdearthworm: Speeds were so slow and websites so shitty, you couldn't get through a megabyte of stuff in 24 hours.
@Robert Hedges: Your argument is full of rage. And that's why I like it (and promoted it).

Which is hilarious, because directly on Rogers' (one of the largest ISPs in the country) website, it said "how fast is 15Mbps: Full length movie…
Shouldn't Angel and Spike still be in Hell-A (if that term hasn't been used before, I'm coining it)? ...Nevermind, I don't need the entire Buffy/Angel-comic-extended-universe explained to me.
While I certainly don't really believe him. I will say that if cash just mysteriously appeared in my bank account, I wouldn't ask questions either. Well... not initially, maybe after it got into the millions of dollars.
@Laertus: "Mum in accident come 2 hospital asap"
@xRichUKx: I can't really compare, but I've always kind of felt North America has lagged behind Europe when it comes to mobile telephony...
No one can make a student pay attention. You can force them not to talk, not to listen to music, not to be disruptive, and even not to text, but ultimately, you can't make them pay attention. So, so long as they aren't disrupting others, who cares what they're doing. If they're texting, doodling in their notebook,…
