I've 2 static IPs with Cox Business. If there were another option (I miss
CableAmerica) I'd go for it in a second. I get outages overy two weeks and
have had a number of bizarre account iѕsues with them. I've got their support
number on speed dial which is not a recommendation.

Still, I've had worse. The best I can say about them is that they're good
enough most of the time.

Check out https://www.distributed.net/, they have CUDA clients for things like
RC5 cracking.

I remember that, as part of BALUG many years ago. I never got a refund and
Microsoft tried to turn it to their advantage by setting up a booth. I think
there's a documentary out there somewhere. 

When dealing with warranty crap from laptop vendors I just take an image of
the drive. If I have to send it in I don't include the drive anyway, and I've
never been given grief over it. Still, having an original hardware backup
like that is kinda cool.
