When I said sheep in fishnet stockings, I was joking

Yesterday, I jokingly referred to sheep wearing fishnets and heels. Obviously I was joking as I don't see what that would be necessary with sheep already sexy as they are naturally. Anyways, like everything I think is original, its already been done. Apparently, its even already been mass produced and is available for $34.99 (hint, hint to anyone planning a bachelor party)

The true speed of verizon FIOS

There is really no excuse for me to be such an idiot, I am a computer guy after all and I was bamboolzed by the verizon marketing gimmick. For some I thought 20/5 FIOS was 20MBps download by 5MBps upload. I couldn't understand why I was getting uploads speeds of only 500KBps for upload on the server. Turns out its 20 mbps/5 mbps. Notice the lowercase, it then read as bits where the bytes were. Read more about bits and bytes here

e.g. What they should say is that verizon high speed business FIOS is 2 MBps down by 0.5 MBps up but who wants to advertise in 0.5 when 20/5 sounds so much sexier.

Here you can see the results I am currently getting from speakeasy speedtests on the server:

Last Result:
Download Speed: 19397 kbps (2424.6 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 3049 kbps (381.1 KB/sec transfer rate

I mean I thought it was too good to be true. Now I am wonder if I ever even needed FIOS to begin with as the backups aren't that much faster than they would be dedicated with DSL or cable. I mean for a server its only the upload speed that matters.

Arghs.
