"What happened as we're continuing to listen was we worked in some of the comments and ideas that got sent to us

as well as the death threats, comments about our Mothers, questions of our parents martial status, how much we "fail!1!!", exactly what our IQ is lower than, things I can't repeat in mixed company, etc... etc...

@YoSoyHe-Man!!_GitEmSteveDave: I would like to say that I like getting my internet from a cable company but if they go through with this I have no choice but to cancel my subscription and downgrade to DSL until Version gets fios in my area.

I think version will get so many more customers if they got fios in ever major town. I know at least 12 other people who are waiting for them.

I live in San Diego and am thinking of dropping TWC Roadrunner for ATT DSL (FiOS not available in my area). Anyone have any ATT horror stories to share first?

Internet demand is rising at a rate that could outpace capacity within a few years. According to industry analysts, the infrastructure may not be able to accommodate the explosion of online content by 2012. This could result in Internet brownouts.

That's not our problem, you schmuck! We pay you a lot of money for our internet access! Maybe you should use some of it to increase capacity. Don't go all "poorly-managed public utility so we need to conserve" on us!

There are times I look at my crappy Actiontec router/modem, and kiss it because it's hooked into my FiOS.

@Xeno has nothing useful to contribute: And I'm bent enough to invite anouther router into our little "thing"... I couldn't help it. That AirPort Extreme was just so sexy sitting there, ActionTec and I both agreed we would hardwire it.

Uh. Wait, was that out loud?

There's now another D-link antenna hooked into the Linksys, cuz I like a little "ethnic mix" action.

Oh come on!! Here I am about to drop my cable and just live off the net, downloading shows, anime, and movies as always, and then they announce this? Hopefully they stop this madness before it spreads to NYC!

If it does hit us, I'll definitely be looking at competition that has no such restrictions.

What's the point of having the world at your fingertips if it costs you to get more than a grope?

@konakazi: I hope you don't live in a large apartment building. If you do, you might want to see if your building has a contract with TWC preventing you from going with (ack) Cablevision.

Cablevision and TWC have a pretty good duopoly going on which has been screwing New Yorkers for years.

Balding angry hobbit here.

My maternal grandfather was a cue-ball by 35 and my mother's brother suffered the same fate. So male pattern baldness is in my genes.

I use Rogaine foam and Propecia and I still have a full head of hair with only a teeny bit of thinning at the crown.

There is no problem that can't be solved through the judicious use of drugs.

@OMG! Ponies!: Something funny that I have noticed. It seems men that bald faster have an easier time growing facial hair than men that keep the hair on their head longer.

Please clarify which body part you are referring to as "the fucker".

No, maybe I don't want to know. Nor do I want to see any photos of it without hair.

@El Blanco: Many more Japanese women lose their hair as they get older than Western women. I can't say why this is so, but I've lived in Tokyo for 20 years, and I've seen it much more than back home in the U.S. It may relate to diet, or genetics, but there are more products for women to deal with thinning hair advertised here than a Western person might expect.
