| DaemonFC | (which is much MUCH MUCH faster than AT&T's ADSL) | Jun 16 00:00 |
| DaemonFC | so I decided that Comcast was my least bad option for internet service right now | Jun 16 00:00 |
| DaemonFC | so I'm back with Comcast | Jun 16 00:00 |
| scientes | ^^that video is pretty good | Jun 16 00:01 |
| DaemonFC | Verizon's DSL service is apparently much better than AT&T's. most of AT&T is using ADSL (not even ADSL2 or ADSL2+) | Jun 16 00:02 |
| DaemonFC | so even their expensive "business DSL" plans top out at 12 Mbps around here | Jun 16 00:02 |
| scientes | verizon's dsl is generally alot cheaper than at&t, and they are essentially the same company | Jun 16 00:02 |
| DaemonFC | for the same price, you can get Comcast at 50 Mbps | Jun 16 00:02 |
| scientes | so otherwise it doesn't really matter | Jun 16 00:02 |
| DaemonFC | and 50 isn't even Comcast's best plan | Jun 16 00:02 |
| scientes | they both are in bed with the NSA | Jun 16 00:03 |
| DaemonFC | Comcast has better network infrastructure than AT&T does | Jun 16 00:03 |
| DaemonFC | and their caps are much more reasonable than AT&T's are | Jun 16 00:03 |
| scientes | AT*T is tier 1 while Comcast is tier 2 IIRC | Jun 16 00:03 |
| scientes | but both are dicks | Jun 16 00:04 |
| DaemonFC | I don't know why people keep voting Comcast most hated company in America | Jun 16 00:04 |
| DaemonFC | it should be AT&T | Jun 16 00:04 |
| scientes | Qwest has extremely fraudulent billing practices | Jun 16 00:04 |
| DaemonFC | Comcast might be in the top 5, but I don't see how they keep getting voted to the top of that list | Jun 16 00:04 |
| DaemonFC | there's worse | Jun 16 00:04 |
| DaemonFC | if I had to vote for most hated telecom, it would definitely be AT&T | Jun 16 00:05 |
| scientes | last mile telecoms shouldn't exist | Jun 16 00:05 |
| DaemonFC | if it was just what company of any kind that I hate the most, there's just so many contenders for that | Jun 16 00:06 |
| DaemonFC | probably a tie between Walmart and DirecTV | Jun 16 00:06 |

| scientes | and there are 3 or so more of those | Jun 16 00:07 |
| scientes | basically, they just get a slap on the wrist | Jun 16 00:07 |
| DaemonFC | the service itself is excellent but you're going to be raped on the billing | Jun 16 00:08 |
| scientes | instead of treble damages and a mandate of auditing | Jun 16 00:08 |
| DaemonFC | scientes: I keep saying this. | Jun 16 00:08 |
| DaemonFC | Advertisements should have to state up front what you will pay and when. | Jun 16 00:08 |
| scientes | also that new attornet general is a sleezy in-bed-with-corporations-lying asshat | Jun 16 00:08 |
| scientes | gregoire actually did her job, even if they never properly persecuted the criminal companys | Jun 16 00:09 |
| DaemonFC | Bills should be line itemed and each item readily understandable and something you agreed to pay up front | Jun 16 00:09 |
| DaemonFC | If they later go back and do something that they didn't spell out in their advertisement, it should render your contract VOID | Jun 16 00:09 |

| DaemonFC | I put my utilities on my credit card | Jun 16 00:10 |
| scientes | you can't buy service from those people and not get scammed | Jun 16 00:10 |
| DaemonFC | that way if they hit me with an unexpected amount over something I didn't agree to, I can initiate a charge back | Jun 16 00:11 |
| DaemonFC | and claw it back from them | Jun 16 00:11 |
| scientes | sadly its true that the only method of getting control these days is credit cards | Jun 16 00:11 |
| DaemonFC | you put your autopay accounts on a debit card, it's gone | Jun 16 00:11 |
| scientes | becasue the small claims counts have basically been shut down | Jun 16 00:11 |
| DaemonFC | they decide to slap your debit card with something you weren't expecting, it's gone | Jun 16 00:11 |
| scientes | in the way they work | Jun 16 00:12 |
| scientes | not enough class action | Jun 16 00:12 |

| DaemonFC | scientes: General Rule #1 when dealing with utilities | Jun 16 00:16 |
| DaemonFC | "DO NOT SIGN A CONTRACT, YOU WILL LIVE TO REGRET IT!!! SERIOUSLY!" | Jun 16 00:17 |
| *DaemonFC is never going to sign another contract for phone or cable | Jun 16 00:17 | |
| DaemonFC | it's going to be prepaid or month-to-month | Jun 16 00:17 |
| DaemonFC | there's absolutely nothing in the contract that is beneficial to you | Jun 16 00:18 |
| DaemonFC | it just means that when they jump out and yell "SURPRISE!!!! Your bill just tripled!" you have another year or so where there's nothing you can do about it | Jun 16 00:19 |
| DaemonFC | I just finished winding down and canceling a DirecTV account, an AT&T DSL account, and an AT&T cell phone plan | Jun 16 00:20 |
| DaemonFC | they all expired last month | Jun 16 00:20 |
| DaemonFC | thank god, another few months of that and I'd have been finished | Jun 16 00:20 |
| DaemonFC | in place of about $240 a month of bills, I replaced it with about $70 a month of bills between Comcast, iwireless, and Netflix | Jun 16 00:22 |
| DaemonFC | that's going to be a huge weight off my shoulders | Jun 16 00:22 |
| DaemonFC | especially with gas and food and rent and god knows everything else going up | Jun 16 00:22 |
| *DaemonFC looked over that home soda fountain thing they had at Walmart | Jun 16 00:23 | |
| DaemonFC | reminded me of that Margaritaville episode of South Park | Jun 16 00:24 |
| DaemonFC | the economy is in the toilet and everyone is buying frivolous junk they don't need instead of saving their money | Jun 16 00:24 |
| DaemonFC | the fountain machine is $80, the CO2 replacement cannisters are about $30 each and good for the equivalent of about 70 2-liter bottles of soda, the soda mix itself isn't too bad, $5 and it make 25 2-liter bottles | Jun 16 00:26 |
| DaemonFC | I guess if you absolutely HAVE to have soda, you'll break even at some point vs. buying it premade | Jun 16 00:27 |
| formic_ | Sweet Jesus you deal with co2?? | Jun 16 00:28 |
| DaemonFC | but you'd have to make a lot of it just to hit that point and by that time, Walmart will probably stop carrying the concentrate and the CO2 cannisters or the company will have gone out of business and no longer make parts | Jun 16 00:28 |

| DaemonFC | vibrating dildos are good for the planet | Jun 16 00:34 |
| DaemonFC | if they prevent someone from having procreative sexual intercourse, they've offset the materials and energy used to make that vibrating dildo several thousand fold | Jun 16 00:35 |

| schestowitz | "It's buggy with a lot of other websites, too. Sadly nobody out on the web supports Opera, so things always break. It's not really their fault, but since noone cares about web standards, the only way to solve this would be to make their engine 100% compatible with Webkit or Firefox ... if they don't do that, they will never get away from their tiny market share." | Jun 16 11:31 |

| DaemonFC | so my landlord got himself a nice big fat tax break | Jun 16 16:31 |

| DaemonFC | I mean, after all, it was DEMOCRACY! | Jun 16 16:31 |
| DaemonFC | the rich landowners voted to raise my taxes | Jun 16 16:31 |
| DaemonFC | and there's not a damned thing I could do about it because more than half the population of the state owns land and wants their personal taxation levels to decrease | Jun 16 16:32 |

| DaemonFC | hello, 7% sales tax that used to be 6%, that was 5% before that! | Jun 16 16:34 |
| DaemonFC | it's just keeps going up so that they can give all the rich people their tax breaks | Jun 16 16:34 |
| DaemonFC | I don't see any reduction in my rent when my landlord's taxes go down | Jun 16 16:34 |
| DaemonFC | but I do pay sales tax | Jun 16 16:34 |
| DaemonFC | I suppose you might make the theory that if they didn't go down then inflation combined with an unchanged taxation rate on property taxes might have compelled him to raise my rent | Jun 16 16:36 |

| DaemonFC | that can be good or bad | Jun 16 19:04 |
| DaemonFC | if it's a malicious extension or one with a lot of bugs it can do all sorts of naughty things | Jun 16 19:05 |
| DaemonFC | Opera and Chrome have a well defined API that is available to an extension and run the extension in what amounts to a sandbox | Jun 16 19:05 |
| DaemonFC | additionally, Opera inspects all the extensions that are submitted to make sure they aren't malicious | Jun 16 19:06 |
| DaemonFC | Mozilla Add-Ons has had problems with malicious extensions being approved a few times and there seems to be no end to the number of poorly written ones they will approve | Jun 16 19:06 |
| DaemonFC | and since Mozilla has no requirements that extensions are to be free software, and an extension becomes part of the browser itself, installing most of the extensions on their site will make your browser nonfree software anyway | Jun 16 19:07 |
| DaemonFC | but assuming the extension is well written and assuming that it isn't malicious (which are both big assumptions), sometimes the degree of control they have over the browser can be beneficial | Jun 16 19:08 |

| DaemonFC | Mozilla browsers have a lot of things wrong with them that effectively make them nonfree, at least the way they are often distributed or end up being used :) | Jun 16 19:10 |
| brendyn | trisquel maintain a list of free plugins | Jun 16 19:10 |
| brendyn | sometimes the mozilla site simply doesnt mention the license, so its good to use that | Jun 16 19:10 |
| brendyn | i think ive installed nonfree plugins by accident before | Jun 16 19:11 |
| DaemonFC | if your definition of free software is that they have a pile of open source software laying around that one could conceivably compile and use, then Chrome is also free software | Jun 16 19:11 |
| DaemonFC | except that it isn't, but don't let a little thing like that stop you :) | Jun 16 19:11 |
| brendyn | :P | Jun 16 19:11 |
| DaemonFC | most people have Flash, Flash makes any browser that loads it nonfree | Jun 16 19:12 |
| brendyn | i dont | Jun 16 19:12 |
| DaemonFC | most people install extensions, more than half of them on AMO will make your Mozilla browser nonfree | Jun 16 19:12 |
| DaemonFC | most people either use the Firefox binaries which are nonfree or get nonfree Firefox binaries from their distribution | Jun 16 19:12 |
| DaemonFC | and the official ones are even worse because they come statically linked to a bunch of libraries that are already on the system | Jun 16 19:13 |
| brendyn | i have noscript, download them all (dont even use it), https everywhere, mozilla archive format, murdochalert. trueblock | Jun 16 19:13 |
| DaemonFC | Chrome and Opera have the same issue | Jun 16 19:14 |
| DaemonFC | statically linked private copies of libraries you already have | Jun 16 19:14 |
| brendyn | im using iceweasel, also. probably doesnt make much difference | Jun 16 19:14 |
| DaemonFC | you shouldn't use Trueblock, it is not maintained | Jun 16 19:15 |
| brendyn | damn | Jun 16 19:15 |
| DaemonFC | he recommends Adblock Lite now | Jun 16 19:15 |
| brendyn | is that run by the same people? | Jun 16 19:15 |
| brendyn | as adblock | Jun 16 19:15 |
| DaemonFC | no | Jun 16 19:15 |
| DaemonFC | it's a different fork | Jun 16 19:15 |
| DaemonFC | it follows Adblock Plus 2.0.x the code but leaves the interface from 1.4.x | Jun 16 19:15 |
| DaemonFC | there's a patch against it that reverts the commit that added "acceptable ads" | Jun 16 19:16 |
| DaemonFC | so the code itself isn't even there | Jun 16 19:16 |
| brendyn | thats what i wanted | Jun 16 19:16 |
| DaemonFC | the "feature" itself was implemented in a way that makes it trivial to get rid of | Jun 16 19:17 |
| DaemonFC | so the patch shouldn't need to change that much | Jun 16 19:17 |
| DaemonFC | otherwise it can keep following whatever Adblock Plus does upstream | Jun 16 19:18 |

| DaemonFC | why is that stupid? well, let me tell you why that's stupid :) | Jun 16 21:18 |
| DaemonFC | you have one person in a house and one rent/mortgage payment | Jun 16 21:19 |
| DaemonFC | you have four people in a house, you've got......one rent/mortgage payment | Jun 16 21:19 |
| DaemonFC | you have one person in a house, you get dinged on groceries because you can't buy the massive sizes that gets you the special low unit pricing (usually) | Jun 16 21:20 |
| DaemonFC | you have four people in a house, you buy the econo-size version of everything because you don't worry so much about waste | Jun 16 21:20 |
| DaemonFC | you have one person in a room, you need to light that room with a lightbulb, having more people in a room doesn't make you have to light the room more | Jun 16 21:21 |
| DaemonFC | you have one person in a house, you need air conditioning and heat in the house | Jun 16 21:21 |
| DaemonFC | you have four people in a house, you're paying about the same thing to air condition or heat the house | Jun 16 21:21 |
| DaemonFC | the federal poverty guidelines are so fucking stupid, because they don't properly account for efficiencies that multi-person housholds have that single-person households don't | Jun 16 21:22 |
| DaemonFC | and at some point, there's going to be a limit on how much income one person can make, but if you have two working adults in the house, you're at an advantage | Jun 16 21:23 |
| DaemonFC | because your bills don't double just because there's two of you with an income rather than one | Jun 16 21:23 |
| DaemonFC | they go up a little, but they don't double | Jun 16 21:23 |
| DaemonFC | I think the FPL should penalize multi-person households by accounting for the fact that they have roughly double the income but only about 20% or so higher operating expenses | Jun 16 21:24 |
| DaemonFC | but it doesn't | Jun 16 21:24 |
| DaemonFC | :D | Jun 16 21:24 |
| DaemonFC | so they take from me and give them more | Jun 16 21:24 |
| DaemonFC | what else is new? am I right? | Jun 16 21:25 |
| DaemonFC | there's some more of MinceR's Democracy Inaction | Jun 16 21:25 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Jun 16 21:25 |
| DaemonFC | democracy necessarily takes from the have nots to give the haves more than they need | Jun 16 21:26 |
| DaemonFC | it's a redistribution of wealth FROM the poor, to the people who are middle class or above | Jun 16 21:26 |
| DaemonFC | and after this stupidity, you don't qualify for federal assistance AFTER the federal government has driven you into poverty | Jun 16 21:27 |
| DaemonFC | because "you don't have kids" | Jun 16 21:27 |
| DaemonFC | like THAT should be encouraged! | Jun 16 21:27 |
| DaemonFC | and after you have some kids, you still might not get help if you're a man | Jun 16 21:28 |
| DaemonFC | if you don't have custody of the kids you pay child support | Jun 16 21:28 |
| DaemonFC | if you do have custody, you don't get welfare because you're not a woman | Jun 16 21:28 |
| DaemonFC | but that hardly comes up because the courts are so biased towards women always getting the kids unless you can prove she's an ax murderer or something | Jun 16 21:29 |
| DaemonFC | as we become more equal, all of this bullshit that makes men less equal keeps falling down from the liberal politicians | Jun 16 21:30 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR: Let's take a vote on how equal we should all be | Jun 16 21:31 |
| DaemonFC | I'm sure that nobody will become a favorite because of simple numerical advantage | Jun 16 21:31 |
| DaemonFC | ;) | Jun 16 21:31 |
| *DaemonFC is personally in favor of repealing all alimony, not just making sure that each gender gets 50% statistically | Jun 16 21:33 | |
| DaemonFC | tell them to quit whining and go find a job | Jun 16 21:33 |
| DaemonFC | of course, men only receive 3% of alimony payments while they pay 97% of them | Jun 16 21:34 |
| DaemonFC | because we're such an equal society of equals | Jun 16 21:34 |
| DaemonFC | Doyle touches on the Dictator of New York City, Michael Bloomberg | Jun 16 21:36 |
| DaemonFC | and that actually hits closer to home for me than you might think considering that Fort Wayne. Indiana has a mayor that points to whatever Bloomberg is up to and says "Hey! You guys! Let's do that here too!" | Jun 16 21:37 |
| DaemonFC | so the soda bans and the restrictions on popcorn size and salt can't be far behind | Jun 16 21:37 |

| DaemonFC | Geico has a $4 a month installment fee for using debit/credit cards, but only a $1 a month fee if you use bank draft, so I set myself up for recurring bank draft and then end up paying it with my credit card | Jun 16 22:09 |
| DaemonFC | that way I get to use my card but only pay the $1 fee | Jun 16 22:09 |
| DaemonFC | and on the last month, you can get out of paying the last installment fee by choosing "remaining amount" before it becomes due | Jun 16 22:10 |
| DaemonFC | so it gets you down from $48 a year in installment fees to $10 | Jun 16 22:10 |
| *ThistleWeb has quit (Quit: Ex-Chat) | Jun 16 22:11 | |
| *DaemonFC really hates how they ding people for not paying in full | Jun 16 22:11 | |
| DaemonFC | with a lot of car insurance companies, you'd actually be better off paying the term in full on a credit card even if it means you pay interest on it for a couple of months | Jun 16 22:12 |
| DaemonFC | because the installment fees will be higher than the interest on your credit card | Jun 16 22:12 |
