  Re: Cord Cutting

  on The Cable Industry's Response To A Banner Year For Cord Cutting? Massive Across The Board Price Increases For 2016
  Depends on the burb, but I just got 190 from Comcast in St Anthony Park for 59.99 but I had to sign a contract. Try going to a Comcast office and getting a better deal. Still wish St Paul didn't just enter a new franchise agreement with CC through 2025 though.
  Hell, US internet has 2.5 and 5 gig now in some neighborhoods in the west metro. Good luck man.

  on DailyDirt: Dealing With Zero (Or Negative) Population Growth
  Saw a funny post on the Facebook today from the Awl on a population movement advocating no children. It is hilarious to hear about a look at the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement. http://www.theawl.com/2015/11/options

  voting record

  on Senate Rejects Fast Track Bill For TPP Agreement: Back To The Drawing Board
  I know this is dumb, but I am on mobile, and can't seem to locate the voting record for this bill. Help a fella out? One half of my delegation would not tell me how she was going to vote.

  on Daily Deal: ZeroLemon SolarJuice 20000mAh Battery
  Like John I purchased two. I like them but the instructions are a bit weak, and I haven't had a chance to test thesolar panel yet. My 4 day road trip through KC will give them a workout though. 4 of 5 stars at least.

  Lords of the Realm II

  on Capcom Removes Advertised Offline Co-Op From Resident Evil Reboot, Updates Steam Page After Sales Begin
  Had an offline, multi-player option in 1993. Somehow, in the subsequent 22 years, this great technology has been lost to mankind. If only we had some understanding of networking computers together, using and ancient technology, we might again someday have access. I bet DARPA could research it for us, with a grant. A local network, over an area. Maybe if we improve our computing power a bit more...

  VPN and Comcast

  on Revealed: ISPs Already Violating Net Neutrality To Block Encryption And Make Everyone Less Safe Online
  My internet download speeds are 5-6 times faster through Comcast using PIA VPN routing through their largest exit gateway (Toronto, CA). I pay for about 30 megs from Comcast and get over 150 mb download on average through a new docsis 3 modem. for some reason Comcast prioritizes encrypted traffic (at least on my network). I am not about to complain, but if i should be pissed off if they throttled it, should I instead praise their boosted speeds? Them giving me the maximum speed capable for a fraction of the price is very nice indeed. It always leaves me feeling conflicted.
