AOL pulling the plug on its dial-up service



The end of an internet era is near. AOL announced it will discontinue its dial-up internet service and the software designed for it on Sept. 30, marking the final chapter for a once-dominant way to get online.

The company said the decision followed a routine evaluation of its products and services.

Over the decades, most Americans have moved to faster, more reliable connections. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 100 million households now have broadband service, such as cable, fiber optic or DSL. Another 10 million use satellite or another type of service.

Just 163,401 households reported using dial-up, the most recent Census data show. AOL did not say how many users still used its dial-up service.

Dial-up seems as long ago as black and white televisions.

The Minnesota Vikings football team announced the inclusion of two males on its cheerleader squad, and some fans were not terribly thrilled about the decision.

Queerty, a website advocating the gay agenda, called the response "homophobic" and identified the two male cheerleaders as Blaize Shiek and Louie Conn.

Old Herman would pay.

Ontario Court Justice Paul Thomas O'Marr spared immigrant conviction over child exploitation because it could delay his citizenship.

Make this Judge famous Canada, for NOT doing his Job & making Canada a more dangerous society to live in ! He protected an illegal that tried to solicit sex from a 15 year old.
 
Where does the lunacy end? Why are people

Even in a very progressive state like Minnesota this will alienate a lot of long term fans and probably will not put new fans in the stands.

A community cluster of Legionnaires' disease has been identified in the New York City neighborhood of Harlem, with 92 confirmed cases of infection as of Aug. 13, the New York City Health Department said in a statement.

Fifteen people are currently hospitalized, and three individuals have died in this outbreak, the statement added.

Legionnaires' disease is a type of pneumonia caused by the Legionella pneumophila bacterium, which grows in warm water, the health department said in an earlier update. People get infected when they breathe in water vapor containing the bacteria.

The disease can be caused by plumbing systems where favorable conditions exist for the bacteria to grow, such as evaporative condensers of large air conditioning systems, humidifiers, hot tubs, and cooling towers.
