Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs. Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Our company is going to get a T-1 line (finally). I am in charge of the research--any good companies providing T-1 service I should look into?

T-1 is a rather old technology, and the prices are artificially high compared to newer, faster technologies. Unless you have a specific requirement for T-1, I would look at business-class DSL or Cable as first options.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

We have "business-class" DSL here - my boss says it's faster (and far cheaper) than a T-1.

How fast is T-1? 1 megabit/sec?

It's been a low time since I checked, but I think that's right.

My cable connection has managed 4-5 megabit/sec on download at times.

That's about what my home cable modem is now. They keep on increasing the speed. It's now faster than what my 802.11b iBook can use.

A woman called into the radio show this morning, telling about her brother (an Indiana Guardsman) being mobilized for Mississippi/Louisiana, and when he reported last night, he was told to come back either today, or maybe tomorrow, because they have to "work on the trucks." Um, aren't those supposed to be ready to go at a moment's notice? WTF is up with this 24-48 hour delay to be prepared to hit the road?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I killed it.

no nursing jokes

Sorry!!

Nah, we were all blissed-out thinking about your breasts.

Well, a lot of the bigger trucks in Iraq are old and need lots of repairs. Maybe the ones here are even worse....
