Is this site still a discussion site ?

topffer @topffer (42156) • France 19 Aug 15

I have rarely started a rant here. This one will perhaps not provoke a salutary shock, but I think it is interesting. In the previous myLot site, if you did not agree with a response, you could tell it in a comment and start to...

Politicians Really Don't Care What You Think

AnjaP @Rollo1 (16679) • Boston, Massachusetts 16 Aug 15

A study of twenty years worth of data done by Princeton University proves that the opinions of the average US voter mean diddly-squat to elected politicians. In fact, 90% of the time, public opinion has absolutely no influence...

alphenor Politicians not caring for the masses is a global problem. As long as they're being paid huge salaries by basically attending the sessions, there will be no shortage of those crocodiles (Philippines's local terminology for such politicians) attempting...

alphenor well the very first thing I'd do is turn the modem/router off, unplug the power cord. Then after 5 to 10 minutes, I'd reconnect the cord, turn the router on. And there you go. Usually they just need to "rest" and cool off so that they can work properly.

alphenor Unless there is some software works the same way like torrent downloading do (splitting a download into several tiny bits), then I would suggest go and use torrents. Way much better and you are secured to have your download in good shape.
