Speed


I was just sent this via a friend in Korea:

 Korean Internet - Faster than Usain Bolt on speed...

After compressing it by a factor of 10, I’m showing it to you.

Yes, that’s download speeds of 61.18 MB/s (for 40 USD a month). 

I've got 512k at 50 USD a month... but it's OK, it doubles at night.

I’m crying into my coffee here.

I’m in the wrong field…


Ok, the other week we had people telling us that Beirut’s cars were causing pollution and harming our health.

This week we’ve got Lebanon’s Transport Minister telling us that the roads are awful and that they endanger our lives.

And people get paid to pontificate on these issues.

Seriously, where do I sign up?

And then there’s the audacity exhibited by the Middle East Society of Asphalt Technologies for even showing their face in the country. It beggars belief.
