Today is computer maintenance day. Why In the hell when every time I do a update on my windows computer the pud whackers try to give me a freaking google or yahoo tool bar? WTF I don't want NO freaking tool bars.
Why in the hell is it faster for me to download a Knoppix DVD from the UK rather than the University of WI ?  The Local college students say there computers are super fast.

The Local college students say there computers are super fast. Their computers may be fast as lightning, but it they are trying to download from a slow ass server that doesn't matter... Just finished my download 2 hours from the United Kingdom rather than 8 hours from any of the 6 Locations Scattered around the united states. This stuff just Blows my mind. That's what I'm afraid of But I dont use IE I avoid it like the plague. |

Europe has some hella fast internets especially NL and UK. If your on the East coast its often faster to download from the UK than from the West Coast. Just went to speed test and most of the world is kicking the USA Butt in download/upload Speeds. I always taught USA is #1 Guess I was wrong. Data from http://www.speedtest/global.php Japan 16578 kb/s Korea Republic 15334 kb/s Lithuania 11206 kb/s Sweden 10850 kb/s North America 5404 kb/s ( Not even in the top #10) We suck at Internet. |

For the same reason you cannot log-on to ArfCom and avoid advertizements. The powers that be don't want you to avoid their crap. |

USA sucks for internet speed. Many many reasons why. Mostly comes down to telecom greed and lack of pride. -Foxxz |
