League of Legends
What was the nerf that supposedly butchered Olaf?
"How to League 101 is the greatest thing to happen to the LoL board since dennis invented sliced bread!" - xRustySpoon
Gragas lowered the alcohol% in craggy ice and now Brolaf isn't drunk enough to play properly.
"homer the lord only asks for one hour a week" -Marge
"in that case he should have made the week an hour longer..." -Homer (GF)
^I like that answer, but srs answer:
Q's slow got nerfed and his ult lost its passive armor pen.
Signatures that consist of quotes are bizarre- you could falsify a quote and no one would know.-Jesus
From: Kirbix | #003
ult lost its passive armor pen.
Mainly this. + Style of game changed. He has no gap closer, no mspd increase nothing.
Space Waster
The slow on the axe gradually goes away rather quickly instead of being applied for the whole duration. It lost some damage too iirc
GT: AstroZombie29
SF4: Vega BB: Arakune MK: Sindel UMvC3: TaskMstr / Haggar / Trish
That + an increase in attacks that deal percentage-based damage, which negate his main shtick of building massive amounts of health to gain equally large amounts of AD on W.
"melody: the noise your baby momma makes when I'm layin the pipe" - Cysi
The loss of free armor pen hurt his laning phase, and while that didn't affect jungle Olaf (you were probably ulting when you dueled someone anyway, so the loss in trading power after 6 was irrelevant), they changed the slow on his Q to decay over time, which basically reduced the effectiveness of the slow by 33% or some math number I don't remember off the top of my head.
So his laning was nerfed, his jungle was nerfed, and this was a point in time where he still had a sub 50% win rate. While Pros may have been able to use him to his full effectiveness, your average player couldn't. So after those two nerfs the average player dropped him because "lol he got nerfed he SUX now" while in the pro scene Top lane drifted back to the back up initiator (top lane Kennen, Jarvan, etc) or a poke/kiter (Jayce, Elise, etc) which didn't really favor Olaf as a pick, while junglers needed to be tanks with go buttons (Sejuani, Zac, Nocturne, etc). So with no one willing to play him in Solo queue and the meta shifting away from top lane duelists, Olaf stopped being played.
And it's not really fair to just pin this all on Olaf, most 'duelist bruisers' aren't seeing much play. Olaf, Irelia, Pantheon, Darius, Garen, Wukong, Riven, Yorick, it's not that these champions are butchered, but rather that they just don't fit into the team comps people are running now a days.
I'm actually incredibly overly passionate and...whats the word...viscous? - EltoniaX
Kinda blows now. I miss pre-nerf Olaf's insane regen and arpen

As for the software side
On the software side, Sun engaged in a political battle vs open source rather than dealing with it as a practical matter. With a big fat wallet pumped up from the dot com boom, they took a piss on everyone involved with Open Source. They were afraid of open source and falsely embraced it as that big fat wallet was bleed dry.

SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) May 09, 2013
Today, the federal government released in-depth Medicare provider charge data for the 100 most common inpatient procedures conducted at hospitals across America. Available for the first time, the information highlights the extreme price discrepancies that can occur for the exact same procedure, in the same region, as well as the need for better health care transparency.
In regards to the data, Giovanni Colella, M.D., co-founder and CEO of leading Health Care Transparency provider Castlight Health, added:
"We applaud Medicare for making this very important and useful data widely available. Today's release of Medicare price comparison data for common hospital procedures is a significant first step in addressing the health care cost crisis. This will expose many people, for the first time, to the significant price variation that exists between providers, even within a single geography. The Health and Human Services (HHS) data will also push the hospitals and other providers to rationalize the prices they charge.
"As a next step to improve health care and lower costs for individuals and businesses, transparency needs to encompass both price and quality of care information across health care services. Additionally, the 60 percent of Americans who have private health insurance often pay over 30 percent more than the Medicare prices, impacting both individuals through their out-of-pocket costs and lowered salaries and their employers who pay the majority of the bills. Consumers need access to the actual prices they pay for health care, coupled with quality metrics on providers, so they can make informed decisions. In almost every other market in America, purchase decisions are driven by an understanding of price and quality; it's time for the same in health care."

Perfect weekend getaway!
The Farmehouse is the perfect place for a weekend getaway with a large group. Lots of living room space to hang out by the fireplace or pellet stove. The fully equipped kitchen, and huge dining room table were perfect for our homemade dinners with the entire group. The hot tub was heated up and ready to go when we got there on Thursday night! The house is very close to the Killington slopes and short walk from the Long Trail brewery and bar. The house and accommodations could not have been better, and we would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great time!
Awesome time at the property
The house is fabulous: extra large and comfortable rooms, beautiful views, enormous kitchen (with every possible gadgets and condiments you need), extremely private and quiet (we saw only horses at the neighboring property). The house is much more than we were expecting from the photos: beautiful and perfectly set up for renters (drawers and closets not crowded with owner's possession, like we have seen before), very spacious and nicely furnished. Mitch was very accommodating and provided outstanding service, pleasure to deal with!. We had a group of 6 adults and a kid and we loved the place so much that we extended our stay! We will definitely be back. This "is" the getaway spot and our destination in Vermont from now on! The house is nice and easy 20 minute drive to Okemo Jackson Gore (and of course to all amenities of Ludlow). However, aside of skiing, all we wanted to do is to enjoy the house.
A perfect winter retreat close to great skiing!
This house is truly amazing with a lot of character & charm. This is our 2nd winter renting this house for our annual VT ski trip. There is plenty of space for our group of 10 adults & 2 dogs. It is by far our favorite property we have rented in Vermont. The large open kitchen & dining room is great for cooking for large groups. We spend most of our time in there because the large dining table is great for gathering together to play games and relax after a long day of snowboarding or skiing. The woodburning stove in the kitchen adds a great heat & filling the house with a wonderful winter atmosphere. The addition of the hottub is great to relax and help sore muscles. The house is on a quiet country road surrounded by nothing but fields & wild life offering great privacy during your stay. The fenced in yard around the pool is wonderful for our two dogs to run around and play. The property is located just a few minutes off rt 4 which makes the 35 to 45 minute drive to Pico Mountain & Killington quick and easy even in snowy conditions. We would love to come back in the summer and enjoy everything else this property has to offer with the pool, large yard and river access. We would recommend this property to anyone who is looking for a wonderful Vermont retreat vacation. Thank you Bryan for accommodating us in your wonderful family home and we are looking forward to returning again next year! Aaron & Lisa

- Chapter
- References
- Mineralogy and Crystal Chemistry;
- Phase transformations;
- High Pressure-High Temperature Research
Experimental data on volume as a function of pressure can now be obtained at maximum pressures of almost twice that of the earth's core-mantle boundary. Thus experimental data can be compared directly with seismic observations. Extrapolated values of experimental data from zero pressure or from any intermediate pressure below the pressure of application are not justified because of significantly high errors. The most accurate derived value of any given data set occurs between 15 and 85% of the maximum experimental pressure range. Tests of these concepts using the Murnaghan and Birch finite strain equations demonstrate the distribution of errors and describe the basis for evaluation of K, K′, and V of mantle materials.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
30 Jul 2012 18:43 GMT | Politics, Asia, US & Canada, Afghanistan, Iraq
Costly US efforts to build major infrastructure projects in Afghanistan are running far behind schedule, and may fall short of counter-insurgency goals central to the US military campaign there, a government watchdog has warned.
Almost $400m in power grid, roads and other construction projects from fiscal 2011 "may not achieve the desired COIN effects," the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) said.
The COIN acronym refers to the military strategy, credited with helping turn around the war in Iraq, that is now a mainstay of the Pentagon's bid to weaken the Afghan Taliban.
With the strategy, the counter-insurgency campaign depends on winning the local populace's backing, turning it away from the fighters.
"In some instances, these projects may result in adverse COIN effects because they create an expectations gap among the affected population or lack citizen support," the inspector general said of activities under the Afghanistan Infrastructure Project (AIP), jointly backed by the US defence and state departments and carried out by the US Agency for International Development.
SIGAR found that procurement and funding delays - from many sources including poor security, personnel changes, faulty cost estimates and slow transfer of funds between government agencies - had put five of seven projects from fiscal 2011 six to fifteen months behind schedule.
"And most projects may not achieve desired COIN benefits for several years," SIGAR said.
The report comes as the Obama administration pushes ahead with its gradual exit from Afghanistan, where the Taliban remains a dire threat after more than a decade of US and NATO efforts to defeat it.
Incomplete projects
Equally daunting, as NATO nations plan the removal of most troops by the end of 2014, is the challenge of making sure that billions of dollars in aid since 2001 makes a permanent, positive mark.
While donor nations are pledging to give $16bn in development aid through 2015, annual Western assistance is already shrinking. US assistance peaked in 2010.
The AIP is a US effort to provide better roads, power grids and water supplies for Afghans, in part to erode support for the Taliban and its allies, who have deep roots in much of the Afghan south and east.
The report also found that the projects could remain uncompleted or fall into disrepair because officials had not properly arranged for future maintenance and funding, or because they planned to rely on Afghan government agencies of "questionable capacity".
"The success and viability of many ... projects hinge, in part, on unidentified, unfunded infrastructure projects and the successful, timely completion of other projects that the US government has been unable to complete for more than 7 years," SIGAR said.
Widespread public corruption remains a major concern in Afghanistan even as President Hamid Karzai promises outsidedonors he will crack down on fraud.
In its response, the defence department said that SIGAR's study revealed "a clear lack of understanding of US counterinsurgency doctrine" and failed to note that Afghans might rally around a building project long before it was finished.
"Clearly, if dashed hopes can produce adverse effects, then that very hope produces positive COIN effects in advance of project implementation," it said.

Need help finding 27" wall oven that is short enough
We are looking to replace our 1960s GE electric wall oven that's in the original 1960s cabinet. So we pulled it out to get some measurements and what I'm finding is that most 27" wall ovens are taller than our limited space.
Our cutout currently measures 24.75"w x 24.25"h x 23 3/8"d. We could possibly cut out an inch from the top to make the height 25.25". We may also be able to cut out another 5/8" on the width. The other issue is that there is a wall on one side so even though the cabinet is 27", the door has to be a little smaller so it doesn't it the wall when it opens. Our current oven door is 26".
Most of the ones I've seen require at least 26" h cutout. Does anyone make an oven that will fit my space??
I think your options will be either a new cabinet or a 24' wall oven.

We had the same issue. The installers were able to cut around the sides and height (and there was a lot of back-and-forth as to whether and how much they could do, because of the construction of the 1964 cabinet). They made and primed a piece of trim to replace the one they had to remove to enlarge the opening.
As far as space to open the door, (and we had a similar issue where the countertop stuck out) could you make the opening ever so slightly off-center, trim more from one side? Thinking that if it's in the corner, people don't stand directly in front of it so it might not be noticeable?

I've had Digis.net for about 4 months, 7 mb connection (5 down 2 up), but I nearly never had that speed.
I complained a couple of times and the same day the speed went up, but I don't want to have to call them almost every day to get the speed increased.
After like 1 month the connection died so I had to call them and they sent someone I think no more than 2 days later who changed the radio, he said it had died, I didn't have to pay for anything and they apologized, but I still didn't have service for those days...
The speed is not as they advertise it, I check my speed at www.speedtest.net very often, you can see some of the history of the results and judge by yourselves, I would put it all, but I don't know how:
www.speedtest.net/result/7130150 ··· 5053.png
www.speedtest.net/result/7157141 ··· 4117.png
www.speedtest.net/result/6971467 ··· 6773.png
There was once that I downloaded one dvd and they cut my speed really bad, I called them and they said I had used the maximum bandwidth but that at midnight it was going to go back to normal. It went back to normal but still was slow, and I like to stream TV at night from hulu, that's why I got the 5 mb down connection, but lately it has been very bad, I think is a shared connection because the speed is usually very slow at night and faster in the mornings. The average speed is about 1 mb down, so I'm tired of having to watch how much do I use the internet and to pay for what I am not getting, so I'm switching companies, I'm getting 12 mb from a different company, I'll review them when I'll have the service.
Good luck.

My plan is the 7Mbps (5Mbps download, 2Mbps upload). I have been with Digis on the 7mbps plan for almost 3 years.
I have probably made 50 calls to Digis in the last year. Their tech support isn't great and being on hold with the same elevator music for 30 minutes each time I call is going to be the end of me. I have called them so many times because they have no way to usually fix the problems with my connection. They will submit a "ticket" to a department, and that ticket usually ends up at the bottom of a paper stack. When they say they will call you back, it usually never happens. They have told me that at least 10 times, and I have only gotten 2 calls back. At least 3 guys have stepped onto our roof and jiggled the antenna, but to no avail. Finally, they have sucked in their pride and taken the blame for the slow speeds. However, they only refunded us $10 dollars total for the problems. It is amazing, after 2 years of waiting, they have finally fixed most of the issues with our service.
Alright, here is my situation. Digis guarantees 2.2mbps download speed on their 7mbps service. (By the way, most of what I am going to tell you, you can not find on their site. Trust me, I looked.) Now while I used to get less then that for two years, the issue finally appears to have been resolved. My connection remains about 2-4mbps on download speed.
Next up, one of my biggest complaints: Throttling. The throttling policy is not stated in detail anywhere on the Digis website. For the 7mbps plan, one is throttled to a mere 1mbps download and .5 upload after only 1GB of transfer daily! And don't even dare to hit the 2GB mark in one day as you will be going so slow you'll wish you had dialup again. Digis also has another "no-throttling" plan, but it really isn't worth it, unless you are willing to pay an outrageous amount of money. They charge something like $5 a GB. The lower tier Digis service throttles after only 500mb. By my calculations, after 20 minutes of full usage on the higher tier service, you will be throttled.
Here is the thing... A Digis user can have up to 30GB a month without being throttled. Comcast users can go up to 250GB without any throttling nor caps. With Digis, one could never even hit 250GB because they would be hit with throttling so hard. They could only get up to 90GB, tops! Once again, trust me, I've tried. You can only squeeze 3GB out of Digis a day. Therefore... Digis is NOT unlimited Internet! Comcast, even with bandwidth caps, is so much more unlimited than Digis.
C'mon, Digis! The throttling is over the top!
UPDATE: Comcast does have throttling, but it is soft. In other words, it only de-prioritizes your internet, not lowers your speed. It will only effect anyone during congested network times (which are said to happen only rarely).
EDIT: With better speeds, I have changed the review with a more positive tone. I have changed the "connection reliability" and "tech support" to 3/5. If I continue to achieve great speeds even during peak hours, I will change "connection reliability" to 5/5.
While I used to have had some bad latency in the past, > 1000ms, I am hoping that it stays in the past. Latency to California is now about 70ms. Jitter, or change in latency, is about 5ms. That isn't too bad. However, latency in the state of Utah is not so good. Most packets that go to Utah servers are sent through Denver, before coming back home.
EDIT (3/22/10): Latency is now terrible on all assigned IP addresses. They swapped providers when they got bought out by or bought out JAB Wireless and are now peering or buying from Qwest (in Denver!!) rather than Level3 (in SLC). Say hello to slow Google and any other traffic coming from the West Coast. Nearly all packets now travel though Denver now.
My internet has been off and on for the past 6 days, mostly off. One tech says that it is "unknown interference." Another states that it is "military interference." I would be willing to doubt that. The FCC is all for WISPs. Has anyone seen the National Broadband Plan lately? It has been said that this is effecting "most of the towers." Ouch. I would advice that you stay away from Digis until further notice. I don't even know if I will be able to post this. My internet is currently on. I'm crossing my fingers.
By the way, for quick and easy information go to »
- Never mind. They must have fired the person in charge of twitter. It hasn't been updated for months now.
EDIT (4/2/2010): Digis decided to start being amazing again. Near perfect speeds, and really low last mile latency. Keep this up Digis, and your connection reliability rating will go to 80%. I think that tech support was able to solve some issues, but only after I held on the phone for 50 minutes.

Order Took About 1 Week To Install. And the problems began as soon as the installer left.
I began having extreme slow speed issues With the connection running running slightly faster than a old school 56k modem!
First thing i did was to call Digis and after about 45 minutes of hold time i spoke with someone and found that the antenna alignment was incorrect he then switched me to a different tower and things got somewhat better.
Through the several months that i had the connection i experienced multiple downtimes. some lasting 15 minutes and some lasting the majority of the day.
They call this unlimited service but enable what they call "Speed Protection Throttling" On All connections. And i am OK with this but the limits are extremely low 1-1.5 gig daily and 60gigs per month thats just way to low when i cant even get all of the necessary updates, drivers, and service packs for a fresh install. now when it goes into throttling mode it is so slow that it would take 2-3 minutes just to open a web page. Now this "Speed Protection Throttling" is suppose to reset at around midnight every night but there were a couple occasions that i had to call and complain to get it to reset because it didn't do it automatically.
And Finally i called to cancel my service because i decided to use Comcast and they tell me its going to be a month before they can come retrieve there equipment off the roof OK no big deal i don't care how long it sits there so now its been about 4 weeks since i canceled And they decided they were going to bill my credit card for another month of service $40.29 so another 2 phone calls to Digis 5 days later the money was refunded to my account.
So do yourself a favor and avoid Digis!

Digis is a WISP who actually delivers a high-quality product. As far as my experience is concerned, I think my speeds are great, my upload especially. I have their 7 Mbps plan (5 Mbps down/2 Mbps up) and i typically see between 2-3 Mbps down and around 1 Mbps upload. I was pretty skeptical about how it would perform being wireless and all, but surprisingly it has been even more reliable than my old comcast.
I considered several options for broadband but chose Digis because they are local and upfront about expectations, charges etc. I also liked the fact that they didn't have any contracts. I check my connections regularly and my latency is always low (between 45 ms - 80 ms) and my connection is really solid. I have recommended Digis to several people and will continue to do so because they have been so outstanding.
CON: The only con I have for Digis is their lack of 24-hour support. I guess for 99% of their users it's not a big deal, but moving forward that is something they should consider. Also, if they offered plans around 10 Mbps than I would be even more thrilled.
So, if anyone at Digis actually reads this just know you are doing a great job. Continue to give me as you put it, "the fastest broadband connection for the money." Nice.

After 6 years, I've finally terminated my agreement with Digis.net. For
the longest time, they were he only game in town and their service was
decent. I even referred two other people to them. Now, there are
other options in my area and with Digis's declining quality of service
and support, I finally made the switch.
My issues with Digis were:
1. Excruciatingly slow connection.
2. Aggressive bandwidth throttling.
3. Unreliable connection.
4. Sometimes unreasonable customer service and corporate policies.
5. Higher than average latency (80ms vs. 35ms from ComCast)
6. Webmail access over HTTP only. No HTTPS.
I won't bore you with technical details about my service. I will say
that it felt a lot like dial up a lot of the time. By the end, it
felt like we didn't really have internet. We just didn't bother
trying to use it.
To give you an idea of some of the oddities with their policies and
customer service, allow me to relate my cancellation story. I
canceled at the beginning of this month. They will not leave my
service active for the remainder of this billing cycle (which I've
already paid for). They will not refund a prorated amount equal to
the remainder of this billing cycle. So I paid for 30 days of service
that I can't use. They will not bend on this policy and I feel like
I'm being robbed.
Another silly policy is their bandwidth throttling. I offered to pay
for an upgraded account even though I can't get line-of-sight with a
faster access point. I just wanted the looser bandwidth throttling
that comes with an upgraded account and didn't mind the lowly 2MB
bandwidth. They wouldn't allow this arrangement.
I've only been with our new ISP for a matter of hours. It's like
going from dialup to broadband all over again.

Allow me to summarize my review for those of you who are in a hurry:
Years ago, digis rocked. Now they suck. They are bandwidth Nazis.
I used to love Digis. 5 or 6 years ago (2003) when we first signed up
they were a newer company and eager to please. They had their problems
but the speed was pretty good and the customer service was great. I
even recommended them to a few friends.
Fast-forward to now (2008). Their customer service is hit and miss.
Their service is getting slower by the month. (I'm not exaggerating.)
Their throttling is getting more aggressive. At first I thought it was
just growing pains, but the problems persist and continue to worsen.
At this point, I warn friends and coworkers to avoid Digis.
Allow me to expand on my saga a little. I'm in an area where Digis is
my only option. (Utopia skipped out house when they installed in our
neighborhood.) I tried to upgrade to Digis's premium service because it
has fewer bandwidth restrictions and looser caps, but I don't have line
of site for the higher speed access points. I offered to pay for the
premium service just so I could get the looser bandwidth caps on my
current access point, but they wouldn't allow it.
The plan I'm on currently has a monthly cap of 18 GB total. If I hit
that cap, I'm throttled to 256 kb down and 128 kb up.
The daily caps are as follows:
(Bandwidth usage -> down kb/up kb)
It's also very very important to mention that these are burst rates.
For sustained traffic, you'll see numbers much smaller than this. In
fact, you're lucky to get these speeds at all. It feels more like ISDN
most of the time.
In my case, I'm lucky to pull down 20 to 25 Kbps on a sustained
transfer. If I do use that kind of bandwidth, everything else halts.
No web browsing. Contrast this to a year ago when I could pull down 40
Kbps and higher without trying too hard. (I know... 40 Kbps isn't that
great.) It's just wacky. They keep getting slower.
If we use the internet a bunch during the day or the first half of the
month, it's throttled down so much that it may as well be dialup.
I have coworkers with Digis that have family at home using the internet
during the day. By the time they get home, the internet is throttled so
much it's virtually unusable. For those with bundled phone packages,
even the phone service starts getting choppy at times.
In short, avoid Digis. If you have another option, go with it. Even if
it's Comcast or something...

I've had Digis for over two years and I've found them to be a good company. Upgrading from wifi to Canopy was absolutely a good move as it greatly improved my speed and service. Calling the tech support can be a little time consuming and frustrating, but if you can get past some of the people that don't know anything, the rest are very reasonable and helpful.
I live in Orem, Ut and the service tech that came to my house has been very helpful. He fixed our line when our dog chewed through it and even set up our home wireless network for free, but I wouldn't expect that. (Geek Squad charges a $100 for that)
Their speeds are good, I typically get 4 down and 2 up. Comcast might be faster, but then you have to bundle everything (which I don't want) to get similar prices and then its less reliable and the tech support is far worse.
Throttling is frustrating if you are downloading a lot of movies or music. But once they explained that throttling was implemented to prevent a power user from slowing the entire network it made sense to me.
Overall, they are a good company and local so you can still talk to a human if you have any questions, but large enough that they have great coverage and you don't need to worry about them closing at any time.

With Digis you don't need a contract. With Digis your installation is virtually free. With Digis, you do not have your upload speed restricted, in other words Digis upload speed even beats comcast. Many Local Businesses use Digis, and they have no complaints about the service. You also get 10 email accounts(7mbps plan), optional internet filtering, and much more. Through Digis you can get your internet and phone in the same package for less than the competitors. There are also business packages as well. If you would like to sign up call 1-888-DIGIS-88, and just tell them you were referred by customer 19017, thanks. It's $139.99 for the installation before a $40.00 canopy rebate(antenna), and a $99.00 90-day Customer Loyalty Mail-in Rebate, so basically free. The basic plan (1.5mbps download / 512kbps upload) is $34.95 a month($29.99 internet, $5.00 canopy rental) The Ultra Highspeed Internet Plan (5mbps download / 2mbps upload) is $40.00 a month($34.95 for internet, $5.00 canopy rental). You won't find that kind of upload speed with anyone else, unless you were to purchase a $300 a month T1 connection. If you would like to know more information go to »
, and again if you sign up tell them you were referred by customer 19017, thanks. I have had Digis for over two years and it has never failed on me, I get 4000+ download and 1300+ upload during busy hours, they have very good voip that beats vonage, it is worth every penny. About the unlimited bandwidth, there are months where I have downloaded over 20 gigabytes and my speed was still what I was paying for.

I had this service over 5 months now. at first i thought it was good, the speeds were decent but nothing like they had promised, i just figured it was because of the distance from the tower. so a month went by and i start getting really slow download speeds. I did a little digging on the internet and i found that they have this "throttling policy". what it is, is when you surpass your download limit they slow down your speed progressively accordingly to how far you have surpassed your monthly download limit! When i signed up for this they never mentioned anything about this. i like to download movies and play video games online so this was just not working, especially when at times i would get what dial-up speeds. not to mention that i share this service with everyone at my house and there are three computers in my home and all are being used extensively. Basically i hope to find a better isp before i leave this service so if anybody has any recommendations i would like to hear them. Thanks.

I have a 1000x1000kbps through my home owner's association since I live in a condo complex. I almost never get to this speed, Digis uses some wireless technology that in my experience is so much worse than DSL. The connection is very slow for streaming, latency is too high and fluctuates so much that gaming is almost impossible, and downloads are sometimes as bad as dial-up. It's really hard to find anything good to say about Digis. Maybe the only thing is that the customer service techs try to be helpful and have a good attitude, but the company, technology and service are so bad that I'm thinking of going back to DSL I would still have to pay for Digis through my condo fees, but I'm so fed up I might do that and try to lobby my condo association to get another ISP.
Skip Digis, you'd be better off with DSL or Cable.

Spring Indoor Planting
charlieboringFebruary 25, 2013
I am in N. VA. I just planted some tomatoes, peppers and zucchini under lights. Intend to plant more next weekend, including: ground cherries, more tomatoes, more peppers, artichokes and eggplant. My last frost date is about April 15.
Am I jumping the gun?
missyga64(8 (central GA))
I certainly hope not, as I have also started my seeds, some under lights and some winter sown.
Under lights I have an assortment of peppers (sweet - super hot), about 6 types of tomatoes, including ground Cherries and an interesting fruit , Naranjilla,
I have my seedlings at just an inch below the lights and still they seem to want to be 'leggie", not sure what I am doing wrong. I am an extreme newbie as the only thing I have ever grown from seed is kids and moonflowers. LOL

Low voltage question from the clueless
Is there such a thing as "low voltage" undercabinet lights? Is this a misnomer? That is, wouldn't low voltage really need a lot of power because you'd need a transformer to run the things?
Sorry about my poor grasp of this all...
Low voltage requires the use of larger conductors since the current is higher than a comparable 120 V load. For a 20 watt bulb the current is ten times higher, so on a 120 V circuit it only requires ~0.17 amps (20 W/120 V) while a twelve volt 20 W bulb needs ~1.7 amps (20 W/12 V).
Transformers do not have losses that high,and many of the 'electroni' transfomers are acytlly switching power supplies.
They also can be pretty efficient.
Low voltage also allows the use of more rugged filaments that can withstand the vibration from taking things in ans out of the cabinets immediately above the lights.
Puck style lights are typically only 10 or 20 watts.
You just use more of them to cover the counter.
There proximity allows for good lighting.
you can get 60 watt 12 V supplies for pucks that are rather small and easily concealed under the cabinet with the lights.
Each one will power three 20 W pucks.
Incandescent light get hot, LED and florescent not as much.
Just google "low voltage undercabinet lights"; they are quite common in strip and puck forms. But the first thing to decide is what kind of light you like. Go to a lighting store with a kitchen mock-up and see which type of light you think looks best regardless of voltage type.

if all you need to be a good leader is to be ruthless, then I guess you think Stalin, Hitler, Mao and other dictators were excellent.

...No, he's not
#104 - ThatsSoFunnyHeHe (02/11/2015) [-]
From an economics point of view he's actually done fairly well.
#115 - tkfourtwoone (02/11/2015) [-]
No, he hasn't. He's driven Russia's economy to the ground.
Especially the recent fall of the rouble is HIS fault.
Besides, you might want to check some REAL economical indicators

If you consider that Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania who were all Soviet countries have double or triple the income of the average Russian, I'd consider the politicians in those countries to more successful than that dictator Putin, who I might add is only making money due to the fact that he runs the most corrupt gas station on this planet. THE ONLY REASON RUSSIA MAKES MONEY IS BECAUSE THEY CAN EXTRACT OIL, not because they produce anything of any worth.
#133 - tkfourtwoone (02/11/2015) [-]
That rise in numbers is stemmed from one thing and one thing only: export of natural resources.
That rise would have happened regardless of who was in charge.
Meanwhile, do please tell me more of Russia's industry. Oh wait, it has none. It produces nothing (except for military equipment), it doesn't manufacture anything.
Now, harsh reminder - the only countries who's economy thrive solely from selling their natural resources are and always have been Third World Countries.
Oh, and just a few more details:
"However, these gains have been distributed unevenly as 110 wealthiest individuals were found to own 35% of all financial assets held by Russian households. Since 2008 Moscow has been repeatedly named the "billionaire capital of the world" by Forbes. Poor governance means that Russia also has the second largest volume of illicit money outflows, having lost over $880 billion between 2002 and 2011 this way"
So yes, do please tell me more on how Putin is such a Glorious Leader who is obviously independent from the Russian oligarchs that rose to power after the USSR fell and are the ones actually in control of Russia.
P.S.: Oh, and you should also probably take a lesson on "how to inflate your economy by pen and make it seem better on paper"
P.P.S.: You just got school'd. Sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up, you're embarrassing yourself.

All these fucking strawman arguements, god damn
I never said anything about his independence from Russian oligarchs.
You said "He's driven Russia's economy to the ground." which simply isn't true. The numbers have stemmed under him, which is literally the only factor at hand here. The fact they stemmed because of exporting natural resources is irrelevant.
Sure, they have problems with income inequality, but not all the benefits the country has is negated by that
How about a sentence from the link you just sent me "Russia's energy exports fuelled a rapid growth in living standards, with real disposable income rising by 160%."
Did you even read the link you just sent me? Because a majority of the information on it supports me. The section they have about Putin's first ten years as leader is titled "Recovery and growth", and fun facts from that section include:
"Between 2000 and 2008, Russian economy got a major boost from rising commodity prices."
"The number of people living below poverty line declined from 30% in 2000 to 14% in 2008."
"In 2007 the World Bank declared that the Russian economy achieved "unprecedented macroeconomic stability."
#145 - tkfourtwoone (02/11/2015) [-]
"Russian leaders repeatedly spoke of the need to diversify the economy away from its dependence on oil and gas and foster a high-technology sector. In 2012 oil, gas and petroleum products accounted for over 70% of total exports. This economic model appeared to show its limits, when after years of strong performance, Russian economy expanded by a mere 1.3% in 2013"
Once again, that economic growth you're praising is in 90% from selling natural resources, an activity that really doesn't require much skill or planning.
Higher GDP/income -> automatic better living standards.
Furthermore, to back up why I maintain my statement that Putin drove the economy to the ground: www.wsj.com/articles/russia-to-cut-2015-budget-by-around-10-following-decline-in-oil-price-1421842914
Ergo, their main economical strength comes from the sales of oil & gas. So what exactly has Putin done in FIFTEEN FUCKING YEARS to make Russia more independent economy-wise?
As opposed to, I dunno... CHINA?!?
There's a damn good reason why Russia, despite its claims to being a superpower, is seldom considered a country good for business.

It's not a kid we're talking about though; i'm feeling sorry for them since i know how much parents care for their children (to an irrational level, in my experience), making them feel real despair from seeing that first hand (instead of being just a bit sad/angry like any other person), and i don't think they deserve that seeing as their daughter is grown up and made an extremely bad mistake.
In essence: you can't say that their daughter's actions are their fault, but they still feel the full emotional force of seeing something really bad happen to their child.

There hearts may be in the right place and they may genuinely believe that they are doing something good but in reality they are not.
Now if they actually took the sites down permanently rather than just DDOS'ing something for a few hours then they should be applauded.

They are literally giving free advertising for jihad related sites to millions of people just so they can say #TANGODOWNANONMOOSESTRIKSGAIN

While I admit they sometimes do stupid shit (like with Greenpeace) It does have an affect. and yes not always good. mostly not good.

According to officials at Heathrow, research from JLS Consulting proves that there have not been cities that were successful in splitting demand between more than one airport. To do so in Britain would compromise its prosperity, the airport warns. The report stated that carriers from the Gulf are basing their service around single hubs, which makes it hard to split among more than one airport. "However convenient it would be to believe that London could be the first, we cannot bet the U.K.'s economic prosperity on wishful thinking. The U.K. can only benefit from improved long haul connections by building a bigger hub airport," said Colin Matthews, Heathrow's chief executive.
