That's what I told my parents. Except I said welcome to the 90's.

naw, not the 90s. 90s was all about rockin the dial up
FYI satellite is NOT broadband.

Last time I checked, anything faster than dialup is considered broadband.
Wikipedia agrees (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadband_Internet_access), for what that's worth.
Wikipedia is written by a bunch of socially retarded high schoolers, hence why it is not an acceptable source of information on ANY kind of research paper. Broadband allows data transmission over multiple frequencies (hence why DSL is so fast, even on the same lines 56k modems run). Satellite is NOT broadband. Downstream data is just faster coming down because it's literally coming down.
I think I remember reading in a Cisco book that anything other than dialup/isdn was broadband.

Wikipedia is acceptable, maybe not in a formal paper (but then again is anything less than a scholarly journal acceptable?) but on something like here or a highschool paper or whatever it is. The fact that articles are able to be reviewed by the entire userbase makes it more reputable, as any disputed fact will be debated in the topics thread. The entire userbase doesn't consist of "socially retarded high schoolers", and how exactly would their social status affect their subject knowledge?
Because socially unretarded people are out in the world learning things.

I didn't see it in a Cisco book, but I'm sure I've read that before.
Of course, how somebody defines it may depend on who you're talking to, since it's more of a colloquial expression . But even if that's true, the point remains: Joe wasn't clearly wrong, as was implied.

Right. That totally explains why I get 256Kbps upstream. Thanks!
And by the way, direction doesn't matter, because energy has no gravity. Didn't you learn anything in school?
OH SNAP, JOE DOESN'T HAVE DIALUP.

Energy is matter and therefore is affected by and produces a gravitational field.
In addition, I'm pretty sure he's saying it's beneficial because the signal doesn't have to go through half a dozen routing areas before it gets to you.
It doesn't matter if energy has gravity or not. Energy is still affected by gravity, and that's what matters.

Yeah, but it doesn't make it go faster. :-\

Actually, I'm waiting for it to be installed.
I mean..
Fuck.
Ah, he's still a joke. Phew.
LOL JOE HAS DIALUP. GOODBYE NEW MILLENIUM
..!.. LOL OWNED.

Wow you're generous.
It's getting installed tomorrow at ~noon.
Done! Wewt.

is it true this time?
Yes. And weather woes, part one:
HUGHESNET FUCKING SUCKS.
Back to broadbanding. If this shit (dropping connections, unable to resolve DNS names, etc) keeps up, I'm dialing back up. :P
Set your DNS server to 4.2.2.1 or 4.2.2.2 etc., they're way better than any of my ISPs DNSes
No, it's not DNS issues. Bad weather is blocking the satellite signal at HQ (in Maryland, I guess?).
Then it's not "unable to resolve DNS names", it's "disconnecting" or "timing out" :P
I was pissed. Leave me alone. :P
But yeah, disconnecting, timing out, etc.
sat, lame

Looks like they're going to get drilled later today. Thankfully, I'll be at work, making money. :)
What are you talking about? It's gonna be cloudy. They aren't gonna get "drilled"...
Maybe that's Wisconsin-ese dialect or something, but "drilled" is basically synonymous with "owned".

By clouds?
This is getting difficult. Let me explain with pictures:

MY HOUSE MY HOUSE
From what you originally posted, it sounded like the city was got to get drilled like OK-city just did
Er, replace "my house" with "headquarters" for what happened, but that's completely possible too.
I told you satellite sucks.
Dialup sucks worse.
Sometimes.
