    All the while, getting sweetheart tax breaks from the same government while fucking their customers. I really hope the FCC sticks to its guns and reclassifies ISP as title 2. In other news Wallstreet is turning against the comcast/time warner merger. Analyst don't believe that it will...

    Our 3 month old goes down at 7:30ish and usually wakes up sometime between 4 and 6 am. Its a joy when he makes it closer to 6.

    Smartphones

    I view it as testing the waters and if it takes off, the first step to buying sprint or tmobile but I could be way off base there. I'm sure they are not going to do the bull shit of throttling and bandwidth caps, which will provide more pressure for all carriers to stop with that shit.

    Municipal BroadBand

    Its cheaper and faster than for profit ISP's. If nothing else, it will get needed upgrades to our internet infrastructure. A bill being introduced in the MO legislature is trying to outlaw municipal broadband and it also protects ISP's from pressure to upgrade their service by claiming a 1.5...

    We wash our hands religiously and use paper towels to dry them, instead of a towel. My wife is a kindergarten teacher, so our kid is pretty much screwed when she goes back to work but at least it should build his immunities.

    Of course they don't and those modems cost Comcast around $40, so after 4 months, its pure profit for them. My cable company Charter doesn't charge for modems yet at least.

    Verizon owns the exclusive rights to stream the NFL, so don't look for any NFL game to be streamed soon. In other news, Comcast and Time Warner are upping their modem rental fees from $8 to $10 a month. The modem rental fees net Comcast $275 to $300 million per quarter.

    Energy Thread - How to Power Civilization

    I read an article on cnn the other day that said the major producers, like Chevron and BP can handle oil down to $42 a barrel and more than likely the lower prices will mean the big guys get bigger and they buy up companies that can't handle the lower prices.
