While I find it as unjust as the rest of you, Comcast has my family by the short and curlies. In the good old days of ISDN, otherwise known as “dial-up”, you certainly had a slow connection, which came with a hefty price as well. This was a decent form of connectivity for its time, as there were no multimedia sites. In fact, the closest you came to multimedia was Macromedia Shockwave and Flash. Thus the birth of the Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) was born. It offered a faster connection, but nowhere near the speed of high-speed cable internet. This is where Comcast re-enters the story.
Where I live, FIOS is not an option. This leaves us with Comcast as the only option- or several shady wireless services… What is this all about? This is about the data cap. Comcast snuck in to their terms of service a nice little clause that states that 250 gigabytes is the maximum amount you are allocated to use every month. On their very website, they state that the average consumer uses far less than this, and that exceeding your data cap is punishable by a loss of service for up to one year. So, I wouldn’t be writing this if I hadn’t almost come into contact with said termination. These are my figures for data usage.
You can see the monthly data traffic becoming increasingly high. Check out the next month.
This brings us to the present.
So, I ask you, what brought the numbers from the 360-gigabyte range all the way down to a measly 83 gigabytes? Simply stated; the settings of my Netflix account were the highest quality you could achieve. Watching everything in HD significantly uses up your allocated monthly data allowance. However, this is not the consumer’s fault, nor is it the fault of Netflix. Comcast uses an unjust system, whereby they force the common user, those who wish to view Netflix in HD, into purchasing a business package with a much higher data cap and a much higher monthly fee. As of this writing, I am satisfied with my speeds, both down and up.
In conclusion, I urge you to dig deeper into Comcast’s unjust business practices. One website cannot do it alone, but power in numbers has always achieved great things. Who chains us, and who holds the key to set us free? It’s you. You have all the weapons you need. Now fight!
Grant Henry took the music of one of the most popular video games of all time and scored it as heavy metal with an extremely progressive groove. I discovered his music on a lark, after several other untalented acts appeared on YouTube somewhere around 2006. They were doing the same thing Grant was doing, minus the talent. So, let’s get back to Grant and 
It came and went like any other night in April and nothing happened in my city or any other. All of this talk about Shepard Fairey in comparison to “cover the night” was an insult to Shepard. Why? Because he did something, that’s why. Any asshole that starts this boilerplate shit about the campaign working as some sort of movement to mobilize American youth into action and them taking a stand against a cause and I’ll show you a generation of apathetic Web 2.0 brats who only click “share” and “like” buttons. Apparently 
This whole scam started out as a video- progressively infecting the web, as a shorter version of a documentary, and went viral within a day. Why is anyone surprised that nothing happened this April 20th? The same young kids who rant about shit they know nothing about through words on social networks never left their dorms and bedrooms. Writing about this seriously bores me, its just that this time I have to say “I told you so!” Now go do something constructive.
Happy Friday the 13th! Today children, we’re breaking all of the rules. In a few more sentences, you’ll see the decay of my average writing style in exchange for a more juvenile form. The reason I will write this way is because it will be more funny, crass, and quite frankly, why purport that I’m someone or something who I’m not?
Let your dog outside and they are sure to stay where they belong- off your property. Of course you could opt to place some sort of signage in front of your house, but let’s face it, why fuck up your house when you aren’t the problem. There are other things which come to mind…
In my line of work, it is incredibly hard to help them. When they come in and present their bullshit, I think to myself, “you believe this, so why are you here?” Such an ass-backwards type of thinking, these parasites would rather face death than 
All across the web, and the Line 6 knowledge base too, I’ve seen users and owners of Line 6 equipment, like the UX2 and UX1, looking for a solution to the “No authorized device connected, Pod Farm cannot process the audio” problem, which is seen in Pod Farm. Faceless Line 6 personnel put customers through a series of procedures. Once, I read that the issue was with USB conflicts, Hubs, and sleep modes! What eventually happens, most of the time, is that someone at Line 6 gives you a free upgrade to Pod Farm 2.51. They do this because they don’t know how to fix your problem. This may seem like a grand solution, as it returns functionality and upgrades you to 2.0 free of charge, but it doesn’t actually solve the problem you’ve been experiencing. This is because it doesn’t take into account that you may have grown accustomed to using Pod Farm 1.12, which still doesn’t work.
