I had Shaw at my dad's place (or, rather, he did) and Telus here. I would have to say that I prefer Telus. Fewer technical issues and more consistently a fast connection. (Shaw's would slow down a whole bunch in the early evening.) I am comparing two different time periods, of course. Telus may have been worse before and Shaw may have improved.

oh, and... Apparently the Great Gatsby, Revolutionary Road, All the Pretty Horses and Casino Royale belong on the list of America's 40 worst books. These people were seriously smoking something...

The reasoning goes something like this: "If badness is related to perceived greatness, then I offer "The Great Gatsby" (1925) as the worst novel in American literature. I haven’t read it for many years, since the only time I used it in a Modern American Fiction class, but I remember it as incredibly smug about its relationship to the traditional realistic novel." And so on.

James Lipton is a CHOREOGRAPHER???
wtf?

Al, it's true.
(It's the first credit listed.)

1) Jsese, I've had Shaw for a long time now, and they've been really good. Good bandwidth and seldom have there been any technical issues. Price is a bit steep, though. As for Telus, I've heard nothing but bad reviews about them.

2) This isn't the town for owning a motorcycle. The roads are brutal, and you can only use it for roughly seven months of the year. And yes, I too have thought about owning one.

Alright time for something out of left field:



Enjoy!

Andy true or false,

James Lipton was the composer of the Thundercats theme song? Is someone internet yanking my chain?

quick question for anyone and everyone.

telus or shaw for internet? or is there someone better?

as for the motorcyles. They are pretty much the safest vehicle on the road until point of impact. better acceleraion, better braking, better visibility than a car. just don't hit anything. I'd be lying if I said getting a motorcycle hadn't crossed my mind aswell.

mmmm pi!!!

OK, so I know that this is a bit late, but I haven't checked the board in a while...

Al, please don't get a motorcycle. Yes, they are awesome, in a recklessly cool kind of way. Everyone, and I mean everyone, I know that has had a motorcycle has become seriously injured riding it. Lost limbs, multiple broken limbs, deaths.

Maybe that says something about their reflexes...but I wouldn't want you to become part of that group.

And Happy Pi Day!

woo hoo! I don't know if you guys have seen this, but ... awesome (despite obvious scale manipulation to show trends...)
