Indeed I have the 2-line bonded DSL. The speed you get will depend quite heavily on your distance from the CO (you can check that here: https://signup.sonic.net/fusion/index/prequalAddress ). I'm in Pac Heights, and my address is an estim

I wholeheartedly agree. I'm thankful that I turned out to actually have a decent 2nd option. My main reason for writing this was to encourage others, especially in the bay area, to make sure they've really looked at all their options. Some

Sen. Ron Wyden also promised to filibuster the bill back in November: http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2011/11/wyden-pipa-filibust... Two Senators willing to filibuster plus the amount that backed out after yesterday's protests will make

This PDF is horribly complex to render and is slowing my machine down considerably just to zoom in and read it. And I'm on a 10-month old MacBook Pro Quad i7! If anybody out there can fix this, please do before millions of people give up tr

On behalf of the 2.2 million Americans whose jobs depend on the film and television industries Really? In spite of that grossly inflated figure, how many jobs depend on a fully-functional and uncensored internet?

That's only if they are using the free wildcard ssl addon. If they have their own cert and domain name (most do) then they won't show up like that.

I'm confused, why is that protest at Joseph Ailoto Plaza instead of in front of Sen. Feinstein's office? http://g.co/maps/r8s85 Perhaps because the chosen location is in front of City Hall and usually has media trucks nearby?

For a more fair comparison, I'll point out that the "skynet" Heroku outage you cited would have caused roughly 16 hours of downtime for the particular type of application used by the OP (a static site with no database), not 76.

The point is that if they really didn't support the bill, the would either pressure the ESA into removing themselves or leave the group in protest.

That's a much better plan. It's funny that they are unwilling to pay above-market salaries to a few competent devs.

Yep, good point. Considering how much nutritional theory has been turned upside down in the past 10 years it's difficult to know when the body of research will more accurately reflect the numerous subtleties in the ways our bodies work.

Exactly. Once you've become obese, you've already lost (in general). Not the most encouraging thing to say to those who are already overweight, but it's an important detail nonetheless.

Wow, thank you for this. I live in SF (Pac Heights) and did not know there was a decent alternative to Comcast (I don't qualify for Monkeybrains). Just signed up for the two-line Fusion service. Peace out, Comcast.

Exactly how would you define a "foreign site", especially when the countries of origin for the domain name and servers could be different? What about sites with servers in multiple countries?

To that I'll add: Active refusal to seek out or listen to those who actually do know how the internet works.
