The 6MB file is most likely cached by your provider. The 100mb file is to big for them to cache so they wont do it.

That would be because you have a B router. the maximum connection from your computer can be is 11mbps. he has a G router which has a max from his computer to his router of 54mbps.

So the Korean war was pointless? What about vietnam, Afghanistan, The fist gulf war. These were all wars to get invaders out of another country, that couldn't defend them selves.

You can say that, because harry reid, and nancy pelosi controlling everything. She is the speaker of the house, and he is the Senate Majority Leader. They decided if the house and senate even will vote on something. Dems. have a large majority in the house so they can pass something even if every republican votes no for it. the Senate is 49/49 with 2 independents.

I can't believe you guys are arguing over a fucking flag on his plane. Who cares about that right now. How about you guys argue over something that really truly matters right now, like how he is going to rase taxes on so many things when we don't need taxes raised, especially right now. Here are some of obams tax hikes. That one really pisses me off. As some who owns some stock, I would have to give over 1/3 of any profit I get from it when I sell it to the government. Thats just wrong. So if I was making over 60K a year, I would have to pay 1/4 of my income to the government under obama, thats just fucking wrong. Now argue on this guys, not some plane.

No one is getting notice as far as I know. Ask them if they call that 256/100 service broadband. I would be interested to see if they still do. Since the FCC now says broadband is 768kbps or faster.

if your on there DSL service bit torrent can't slow it down. You have a direct line to the local exchange. You may want to get off your ISP anyway since they are putting in 5GB monthly caps for all. http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Frontier-Imposes-5-GB-Cap-For-DSL-96546

It shares the network adapter by making a virtual one. There are setting for the type of adapter to use. it should say like bridged, or shared network adapter.

We can not let him in because he has no clue how to run a country. He can't even get a bill passed now. He doesn't even listen to the people that employee him. He is so out of touch with the real issues. The biggest problem is people are fucking dumb, if they would just listen to what he actually is saying, they would go "yo, thats socialism". If you are in Obama supporter, Don't vote for him just because you like the guy, actually go sit down poke around online and read what he is going to do for each issue, and don't go to a major news outlet they won't tell you the truth. If you want to vote for obama and have $8 a gallon gas go for it. If you want to vote for obama and have 40% capital gains tax go for it. If you want to vote for obama and make over $250K a year and want to pay even more tax go for it. If you own a small business, and you want obama, god help you.

I'm not really to worried about his trip to berlin or anywhere he went and getting how ever many people there because you give germans free beer and they will listen to anyone. Yes they where giving away free beer. Its just like those 70,000 people that came out to his speech on organ, but what no one told you is that they actually came out to a free rock concert, he was just there in the middle. I'm german and their are 2 things that just piss me off about his trip first. not going to see injured troops in germany, and second he gave his speech in front of the Berlin Siegess

So I got my iPhone 3G today. My local apple store had gotten some in so I canceled my order with AT&T and just went and picked it up. When I got to the sore their was already a line. It took me about an hour to get through the line so I could buy one, once I was able to buy one it only took about 5 minutes to get me in and out. The problems that a lot of people are complaining about when buying it are not because of apple or AT&T, they are because people are lying and saying they qualify when they really don't, so they wait in the line and slow everyone else down. The guy who checked me out had someone before him that made him check his account 4 times, and each time he didn't qualify because he just bought a new BB 2 months before. Stupid people Some speedtest results. AT&T says they cap the service at 1.4 mbps. I would say thats true because most of my speedtest results are around 1.2mbps - 1.5mbps But there are some areas that are quite a bit faster. The area around my office I got 2.1mbps when I stopped in there this morning several times. All of these tests where taken in my home, and they are the fastest I got from each site. Its a hell of a lot better then EDGE.

Thats not what pissed off Japan. -
Well they can always bring him back, you just gotta find someone who can really get into that role. There are a few people who could do that pretty well.

That is just estimated crude oil. And does not include all of the oil shale, or coal to oil. http://www.dailyreckoning.com/rpt/OilShale.html Factor in coal to oil, since we have more coal then well anyone and you have a supply of energy that will last a very long time, sertantly long enough at a cheap price to get a renewable source.
-
Not usage, the oil we import. In I think 1990 we imported only about 45% of oil we now import over 70% of oil. That is just wrong. We have it here, there is more oil in in shale in colorado/utah then there is regular oil in all of saudi arabia. Most of our oil comes from canada, but if you go down the list there are some not so great countries that are really high up on that list http://physics.ius.edu/~kyle/P310/crudebycountry.htm

Well really they can continue, because the next one wouldn't have him in it. You know who is going to be in the next one, and it wouldn't be ledger's character.

If you put a line on that graph with the 2 biggest spikes in the 70's on there, its only off by about 2 million barrels a day for today usage from the 70's. No one can seem to come up with an accurate number of how much is used per day anyway, ive seen people say 15 million barrels a day, 30 million barrels a day, and everything in between. And we make a lot more products today out of petroleum then we did in the 70's, almost anything you touch has oil in it somewhere. So the usage for gasoline is about the same. What we really know is that US oil usage had just dipped to almost null. And it would take only 2 years to get oil off the coats of florida, It would have only taken 2 years 10 years ago. They started saying this 7 year crap because they don't want it. It could even take less time if they really wanted to. Oil rigs are totally pre-fab you just gotta find the place to put it. I'm all for hydrogen, but it doesn't produce the power for it right now. they need to figure out how to get more power out of it, in a every day car.
-
Thats not true. If they started tomorrow, off the coast of florida we could have oil from it in less then 2 years. Anyone that says 7 years to get the first drop of oil is a liar. Right now it takes longer for application process to be able drill then it does to setup the rig and start drilling. Right now we have nothing to replace oil with, we have more oil in this country then anyone else. we need to go get it. We don't need more oil, we use the same amount now in a day as we used in the 70's, we just need to get our own. We also need to stop using food for fuel to, that is the dumbest idea ever, it costs $1.25 to make a $1.00 worth of energy with food, that doesn't add up. China is going to pass us in oil usage, and then we are really screwed if we are not using our own oil. We need to drill everywhere we can.
