Crown and new Router

Posted 01-10-2014 at 01:15 PM by woodworkingmenace (History)

I had my Son put in the new Router last night.
I put on all the wires and all he had to do was plug them into the right receptacles.

Its 'supposed' to be fibre optic... Yeaaaa Right!
How is it, that the fibre optics go into a regulare phone line, and its 'supposed' to be faster? Its NOT!

I still have the same amount of time, getting on my games, and its not any faster than my old router. Im hoping that this one doesnt drop out as much as the old one did....

Things we wish were not true.

A bit of southern history; After the civil war and up through the 30's all southern states had convict-leasing laws that leased, mostly black laborers to coal mines and to railroads. In the 1920's, according to Jack Beatty historian, Alabama took in more money from leasing these black workers than they took in from taxes. The blacks worked for nothing, without shoes are any protective gear and on average 45% died during their six month sentence.
Newspaper editors knew about this and the city...

Right wing nut job!

I don't have money so you have to give me some.
I have babies and I don't know who the fathers are, even I do, they have no money so you have to feed them and my babies in addition to the one I am about to pop.
I have no health insurance but you need to cover it for me.
I don't pay taxes but I think everybody...

The Future is Looking Up

Posted 01-10-2014 at 09:16 AM by Fortoggie

An AP story is running today that every young person should ponder over. It says that Airlines are on the largest jet-buying spree in aviation history. Think about that, it tells where the world is going and where the economy is going in the next few years. In short its going up, up and away. You and I don't have the resources to study the future like they do so we have to learn to look over their shoulders. Now, 24 of those huge planes are being produced every week; extrapolate out how that impacts...

Can Lubbock Really Support All This?

Posted 01-09-2014 at 07:10 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Hard to believe, but that's the trend in radio now. In Lubbock, Texas,...
