The FCC doesn't even agree with ISPs on the definition of what, exactly, constitutes "Broadband" connectivity. Meanwhile the monopoly in my area continues to receive my payments, no matter what they do.

The spammer appears to be a religious hypocrite, so why not spam the spammer with religious hypocrisy right from their own playbook? I would begin with Isaiah 45:7 "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil:

I've been using the ssh -C -D 8080 -fN user@server.tld for years now, no VPS needed if you use a free shell account. Free != lazy Also, lazy people dislike having to manually configure their web clients.

Too bad the graphics only show the lower 48 states. Sure, some will claim that, "Alaska is always cold, and Hawai'i is always hot," which is a typical fallacy. People surf in Alaska, and it snows in Hawai'i. (We just had

Sleep deprivation was an integral part of my work experience, from working on my dad's farm during the height of the summer harvest, to the Army. If you couldn't keep up, someone else would. I often go 30, or more, consecutive hou

I didn't just move to Hawai'i, I've lived here my entire life. That said, I agree with your comment. I don't live in a mansion by the beach, I'm 22 miles inland, downhill from one of the world's most effusive
