• On the post: Comcast Says It's Going To Slap All Of Its Customers With Data Caps, Makes Half-Hearted Attempt To Walk Back Earlier Statements When Backlash Kicks In

  

  Nigel Lew ( profile ), 19 May, 2014 @ 04:27pm

  I live in a 4 block town. Comcast is largely my only option. tThey tried to bait and switch me on an upgrade to the xfinity 30x15 net connection.
  
  I threatened them, that I, as an IT guy, would start moving folks off of Comcast. The rep I was speaking to laughed at me and said, "no you wont"
  
  I am at 45 clients moved from Crapcast and counting. So fuck those guys. I can get the same shit service from quest over dsl currently. I would mention other companies but they all seem to renting shit from quest.
  
  Somewhere I have the fukwits name from Comcast. I will hop back in and post it shortly.

  "Greenwald is a seasoned reporter and speaker with knowledge of the transitions needed to join, ignore then return to point, tie in multiple themes to a story etc... "
  
  Curiously, the first I noticed was that. Philosophy 101 for me was a logic class about politicians not actually answering questions. 25 years later that shit is entirely germane here.
  
  Sigh.

• On the post: Baybrook Remodelers, Still In The Midst Of Suing People For Negative Reviews, Deploys A Disastrous SEO Hitman

  

  Nigel Lew ( profile ), 07 Feb, 2014 @ 12:08pm

  NOT SEO

  I am going to spare myself the 8 second headache with this numpty and post as AC.
  
  His site simply regurgitates a range of nonsense. That stuff is not SEO unless you work in sweat shop in Bangalore.
  
  Interestingly, one of his suggestions is to outsource said work in the first place.
  
  Nothing about that guys modality takes anything relevant or merit based into account.
  
  Just another well spoken noob clogging up the web with bullshit.
  
  "Kind of crazy but it a OK like I said I have 600 bloggers and 20000 blog as ranging in pr 4 to 7 I can get things out as well"
  
  That is what we call spam as well. Gaming the system is not making your clients site relevant for instance.
  
  Its amazing the degree with which this guy just stepped on his own dick.
  
  Here is to hoping he doubles down on the stupid. Its already pretty funny stuff.
