    don't just bump, but add new content of some kind. Maybe a rules or card revision or something.
    What you think "makes sense" has nothing to do with reality. It just has to do with your life experience. And your life experience may only be a small smidgen of reality. Possibly even a distorted account of reality at that. So what this means is that, beginning in the 20th century as our means of decoding nature became more and more powerful, we started realizing our common sense is no longer a tool to pass judgment on whether or not a scientific theory is correct. - Neil Degrasse Tyson

    How does this look as a Best Buy modem I can go get and try right meow?

    Motorola makes absolutely, utterly, insanely bulletproof radios and modems. You cannot kill them. I have one that I no longer even know where I got, but it's a SurfBoard, and has served me through 2 moves and at least three service upgrades.


    Not used THAT one, but I don't know anything particularly bad about them.

    I can go get it right now, but if this Arris modem is apparently already in bridge mode or whatever... why is it acting like a NAT?

    I... Dunno. But I'd believe DK saying "colossal cocks".

    Fun Fact: We were told that Dubai doesn't actually have a sewage system. Waste water is pumped out on a daily (weekly?) basis.

    They cared more about getting their skyscrapers up -- sometimes literally without a paved road underneath to connect them -- than basic infrastructure planning.

    Does rather look like it.

    First day I got there it felt like I was in a Mad Max movie and these were the ruins of a once-great metropolis. Big-ass modern skyscrapers were literally coming out of the sand. They also conveniently arranged they to skirt Sheikh Zayed Road, which is the main artery for the whole Emirate; when you're cruising down Sheikh Zayed, it seems like the city is jam-packed with skyscrapers, but it's really just a string of them along that one road. "Dubai" is actually an entire province, but there's shit all in the rest of the province away from the city -- mainly Soviet-style slab buildings to house the unwashed migrant labor that comprises 80%+ of the UAE's population.

    That's actually kind of morbidly depressing really.

    Called up Best Buy and had them cancel my order. Guess I might try to get back on the horn with Comcast tomorrow and just bitch and moan until someone gives me a straight answer as to why I'm paying them $85/mo and am not able to make full use of the shit I'm paying for.

    But thanks @dporowski and @Donkey Kong for trying to help me sort this out!

    Dubai is actually pretty fucking terrible on a lot of fronts.

    But on the other hand, a friend of mine told me an anecdote about a wealthy Arab he meant once -- an anecdote which he himself said he might've been misremembering and quoting from a movie.

    Basically, when asked why they were building all this new shit out in the middle of the desert, the Arab dude says:

    "Well, when the oil runs out, they can take our expensive cars and planes and yachts... but they can't take the buildings."

    Which I find pretty intensely saddening.
