You have outlined precisely why I switched from Time-Warner cable to DSL some 5 years ago. Besides, TWC *blocked* some web sites for no reason at all. I proved that to their tech with my dialup, which I kept back then because TWC was so unreliable.

Considering that there is a whole year of Bushies left, maybe registering en mass would still be a good idea. Can those bstrds be trusted? Sure Charlie Brown! Now kick the football!

Throughout America there should be gigantic billboards that say: "Instead of killing yourself, you should try using drugs."

Your doctor may not prescribe the one that will work for you first, but eventually there will likely be some relief.

Customs not only "looks" at hard drives, they subject them to the law enforcement software that goes though and pulls up stuff that the user thought was safely deleted. One man was sentenced to several years in jail for having child porn on his laptop -- stuff that had been erased, but that Customs recovered. What this means is that you must never, ever let a laptop out of your sight-or-security anyplace that there is net access, lest someone read something that the cops don't like, or something that is illegal.

ab @36 -- Eddie ended up on a "frozen train", but I always figured that if the train crew had someplace to go, the rest of them probably could manage the same. I don't see it as the death of Eddie. He would not just sit out there and expect to be rescued.

It is not true that all Rand fans would feel compelled to be CEO of whatever business attracts them. The character of Eddie Willers is meant to demonstrate people of good will and average talents. There is a place in the Rand universe for people who have no desire to run the world.

What gets me is that size 10-12 is billed as "Large". Now that represents a sick culture.
