Yep…my car…’tis dead.
Haven’t decided to resurrect it or not. If I decide not…it may be a few weeks before I have a car again.
If I decide to resurrect it, I will have locked myself into the same horrible cycle where i spend the extra money that should be going into a new car repairing the old and rickety one.
Argh.
The Final Debate!
Expect loads of details unmentioned, expect a lot of finger-pointing, expect mountains of dirty laundry.
And of course….
Expect me to be yelling my guts out like I was in the penalty box at a hockey game through it all.
Why?
If you read enough about the details on these issues you stop believing the rhetoric and start understanding that there are some serious policy differences between these guys. McCain doesnt like to lie, ergo you can tell when he’s talking on a subject where his plans benefit big business deliberately. Obama doesnt like to debate on energy because he is hardcore and wants to push in alternative energy sources earlier as opposed to what the energy lobbies are asking for (more time to be competitive financially), so he gets hit hard when discussing clean nuclear power and reluctance in offshore drilling.
It doesnt make these guys wrong…it simply tells you which you think would be better for US.
Ciao!

What would you say if I told you I was going to charge you for every word you spoke over 5000 every month?
Would you laugh? I would personally punch me in the face.
Internet service provider ComCast is now limiting bandwidth to it’s customers.
Please allow me to explain how a network operates.
The greatest cost in the use of a computer network is in establishing the line and hardware necessary for connection. The cost of power for said operation is minimal to the provider. This is the fundamental problem the phone companies are now falling apart from, they cant compete with companies not charging by quantity rather than flat connection rates. Comcast is milking a market that is so easy to make money from that it seems insane that they are looking for more money!
I’ve done logistics on this. Past the initial investment of lines, the cost of operation and maintenance in said connection (barring end-user responsibility) is such a tiny fraction of the charges involved that I find it astounding that a limit exists.
Anyhow…this is so damn stupid I am getting worked up…feel free to read more here:
