According to user comments on VersionTracker, adblock 3.2 works just fine with Safari 3.1. I don't know myself, as I use Google's adsubtract css stylesheet, (formerly Good Vibrations) It does a great job clearing out ads without messing up anything else.

I bet you didn't know bit torrent is *already* throttled to their upload speed? You can blame your slow service on a lot of things, but neighbors running bit torrent isn't one of them. OTOH, legal downloads like the site mentioned earlier, and Netflix, etc., can support much faster downloads. On

Eric? Why so much for so little? Any way I answer that is bound to reveal me for the greedy capitalist that I am. The short answer is labor costs, regulatory requirements, and network maintenance overhead. If I can drive down any or all of those costs I can increase profits and lower prices.

I agree. The same thing is going on with the US economy. It's been apparent to me for some time that what the US is doing isn't working for the country as a whole but government won't change direction because of the big business lobby and its focus on self interest/ short term corporate int

The biggest difference between France (Any European country) and the US in comparisons, is plums versus watermelons. The density of people in France is much higher than the density of our population. When you get away from the coasts, the density is much less. This handicaps any company want

So you are angry that they are using what they are paying for? Be angry at the right person, your cable provider. If you want to be angry at them for pirating that's fine too, but for just using their connnection I'm not sure I could care. How fast are you paying for? How fast are you getting?
