Hey, sevens are hard! Oh, do I wish I was kidding. I write very sophisticated algorithms on a daily basis, but those 7's and 8's timetables still give me grief.
ok maybe that was a bad example

how about 6 x 4

Thank you for the inspiration AndreaGail. I get cable bundled with my internet service, but I have been thinking for months now about getting rid of it. Most of what I watch I can get with an antenna on my roof and an $8 a month subscription with Netflix. So the cable is going to bite the dust. I thought of getting Satellite service instead, but that is pretty much the same 500 channels of mindless drivel that Cable is. Unplugging the tube is the first step in unplugging from the evil system.

The cable companies are figuring this out so that they don't make it very cost beneficial for you to "unbundle". With time, the Internet service component will get more expensive, while phone and TV will become less expensive add-ons. But they will remain expensive if you want them separately.

If I had a dollar for every time I saw people break out their calculators for a simple 7 x 6 math equation haha. and these were the "smart" people

my grandpa was an actuary so at a very young age he always enjoyed testing me on math equations, so now I can do most equations in my head
Every now and again I like to impress the gas station attendants by coming up with a beef jerky or other snack and when they total me up, I deduct that amount from a $20 in my head and ask for that amount of fuel. For instance, if my total was $1.73 I would then ask for $18.27 in gas and they're amazed when the total is an even $20. I've even had one lady ask me how I did that. I laughed and said "math".

$70/month for comcast internet for me. No phone or tv. They offered to upgrade me from 12 Mbps to 22 Mbps for adding their tv or movie whatever service. Not willing to pay 1 dime for tv though. It costs time.

I have cable, so I am exposed to the propaganda. But as they say, "Know your enemy."

Actually, I don't watch that much. It's 95% crap. But I like the other 5%.

Eventually TV and internet will be completely integrated so you won't have a choice to opt out of TV. You might not watch it, but you'll be paying for it. They're very clever.

Like they say, there are 3 kinds of people: Those who can do math, and those who can't.

I thought that there were 10 kinds... those who know binary and those who don't.
