How similar are your interests to mine?

Are you sure you are NT?

I have a lot in common with you.

I could imagine going back to dial up. I mostly look at text, occasional audio files.

But how would going back to old technology help you do that? It makes no sense.

OK, I give up! WHAT is the political agenda that causes the contraversy? Did you know that they created laws AGAINST freon, and basically made repairing them near impossible. And they came up with a replacement that couldn't be easily implemented. I bet there were TONS of freon needlessly leaked into the atmosphere. NOW, they are replacing incandescent bulbs with the flourescent that are more complicated, bad for the eyes, use more glass, and have mercury and other dangerous materials.

One guy got the NPP AND, EVEN though he clearly did NOT deserve it, flew about 7 jets, at least 1 was a 747, from washington DC to NORWAY to accept it! He flew the same trip a few times within about a month.

An engine degreaser had a banned ingredient replaced with acetone, which is itself BAD, and now dozens, perhaps THOUSANDS, are DYING from constant exposure!

And all that was done by people CLAIMING to be worried about the environment. That ONE guys trip to norway probably used more fuel than I have used in the past 30 years! SCRATCH THAT, I KNOW it did! In fact, I think it has used more fuel than ALL vehicles that transfer 20 people or less that I have been in MY ENTIRE LIFE!

Now GRANTED, I took a trip SIMILAR to the one he took ONCE, but I took it with a couple hundred OTHER people that ALSO benefitted! And MINE wasn't paid for by the US taxpayer!

BTW the "evidence" is SO tainted that no honest person could claim it is USABLE, much less meaningful.

I was thinking about saying the SAME thing.

And Linux is cheaper, faster, more efficient, more compatible with standards and uses an OLD standard and is compatible with UNIX. MANY people don't use it because they learn at work, and like buying the software at the store, etc... So Linux has gotten a rep as a GEEK O/S. The average NT person isn't likely to use it.

The political agenda is that climate change isn't real and that we should continue on our merry way with no changes. This is economically beneficial in the short term but compounds problems in the long term.

This doesn't mean that every action taken to "protect the environment" is itself helpful. These are again political decisions.



That's a radical claim. I suppose you have something other than misread e-mails to back it up?

That is wikipedia, but it is extensively sourced. Read the references at the end.

Why are you always yelling? Jesus Christ...

But it's slow.

No point paying for broadband going unused.

Dial up's probably not any cheaper though. I have no idea. I can imagine circumstances when there would be valid reasons to go with the S rather than the XL option. Whether they are real or not is for other people to decide, like puppygnu.

I wouldn't have any use for a Ferrari either.
