I hate dial-up. HATE IT.

I cannot watch my YouTube videos, OR use Google Video, OR use Pandora.

:grr:

And there's a new SD video on YT, too.

:banghead:

:banghead:

MUST be available from your phone company for around $15

At home we have lightning-fast internet. So this is painful.

:grr:

you left out the qualifier, shame shame

Hard Core!

Bored, is what I am right now. And eating lunch. :D

i'm sorry... :(

I remember when i had dial up, my mom would be on the phone for hours at a time & i could never get on the internet...& i'd be mad...

Everyone I know has highspeed of some kind or another - my family in East Bumfuck, Vermont, my friends in Minnesota, my daughter in Kansas, my dad in Florida.

I live in the Silicon Valley and I have dial-up. :nuke: I'm in the hills - cable is not available, satellite is not an option and even DSL has not made it up here. :cry:

On the bright side, I do live in a gorgeous spot.

so I watch YouTube and other videoes from my office computer.

Computers cause endumbination.

that the internet isn't setup for dial-up anymore.Everything has huge graphics and media and takes forever to load.It's not much fun to surf with dial-up anymore is it?And don't get me started on My Space I grow old trying to get around there.It really does suck bad.

Suddenly, I feel like I'm on dial-up.

the internet was crap for dial-up even when everybody was using it! :rofl:

That's what I do on dialup.

Mind you when I was growning up modems looked like this, and they were very, very, s...l...o...w...

You Can't Drink Mud and Salt: Hydropolitics and the Invasion of Lebanon

NEWS HOUNDS EDITORIAL

Three weeks ago I woke up.

It was a painful experience because I had always thought of myself as an educated person, well aware of what was going on politically, even in the Middle East.

I was very, very wrong.

"There is water in the jug, and we're going around thirsty."

On July 17th, I googled the words "Israel Lebanon Water".

When the results came back, my world shifted 180 degrees. There, on my computer screen, appeared a mountain of data consisting of geological surveys, erudite articles, aquifer tables and power point presentations. Numerous other searches verifed the inescapable facts. No matter whether the studies were done by European consortiums, Palestinian experts, American think tanks or Israeli university professors, the resulting scientific conclusions were the same.

Forget all the overblown tabloid rhetoric about "terrorists", "right to defend borders", "holy war against the infidels", "oil" and "the axis of evil".

Doesn't mean a thing.

That's just pure verbal drama created by the various factions in the Middle East to avoid talking about the 5,000 pound gorilla in the room.

Water.

The Middle East is in an ecological death spiral. Period.
