ΕΠΑΚ/ΠΕΑΚ Παθήματα

Είναι δυνατό τόσα χρόνια που χρησιμοποιούσες dial-up σύνδεση με ΕΠΑΚ/ΠΕΑΚ (πάντα τα μπέρδευα αυτά τα δύο) να πλήρωνες μάξιμουμ 40€ το δίμηνο (ως τη μεγάλη στιγμή που έβαλες και συ ADSL), και τώρα που είχες τη φαεινή ιδέα να πάρεις το laptop μαζί σου για αυτές τις 10 μέρες διακοπών στη Χαλκιδική - έτσι, για να ρίχνεις και μια κλεφτή ματιά στο ιντερνέτ (εντάξει, ίσως και λίγο παραπάνω) - να σου ζητάνε να πληρώσεις 90€; (σε bold τα διαστήματα χρήσης, για να φανεί καλύτερα η διαφορά)

και γω δε το πίστευα, αλλά σύμφωνα με το τιμολόγιο εσωτερικού που εντόπισα κάπου στο oteshop, είναι.

πολύ απλό:

η τοπική πρόσβαση (στον ίδιο νομό, ανεξάρτητα από την απόσταση) χρεώνεται με 0,419€ ανά ώρα ως τις 10μμ, και με 0,209€ ανά ώρα μετά τις 10μμ.

αν όμως πας για την υπερτοπική πρόσβαση (διαφορετικός νομός), και μάλιστα σε απόσταση που ξεπερνάει τα 45Κμ από τον κεντρικό κόμβο (βλέπε Χαλκιδική), η χρέωση, κοινή για ολόκληρο το 24ωρο, ανεβαίνει στα 0,07378€ ανά λεπτό.
Ή, για να μη σας μπερδεύω, στα 4,4268€ ανά ώρα. Δε το πιστεύετε; κι όμως.

Για μια (1) ώρα ίντερνετ στη Χαλκιδική, με ΕΠΑΚ/ΠΕAΚ Θεσσαλονίκης, πληρώνεις 4.4268€*.

Δεν ήξερα, δεν διάβαζα; τώρα απλά πρέπει να πληρώσω (την αβλεψία μου, και το λογαριασμό).

* διορθώστε με αν κάνω λάθος, αλλά στη συγκεκριμένη περίπτωση θα συνέφερε ακόμα να χρησιμοποιήσω το περίφημο free internet με χρέωση μίας (1) αστικής μονάδας. βλέπω πάλι από το ίδιο τιμολόγιο ότι στη χειρότερη περίπτωση (καθημερινή ως τις 8μμ) η χρέωση ανά λεπτό θα ήταν 0,03094€, δηλαδή η ώρα θα έφτανε μόλις (...) τα 1,8564€...

starbonds tips: the 20070905 edition

ταινία μεταφερμένη από το πετυχημένο (λέει) αλλά άγνωστο σε μένα video game με τίτλο DOA: Dead or Alive (σύντομα σε κάποιο DVD-άδικο της γειτονιάς σας), ολοκληρώνει την HSX-ική της διαδρομή και μας χαρίζει τις ικανοποιητικότατες, δύο τον αριθμό, προτάσεις της εβδομάδας.


Dead. short Devon Aoki (17/9)

Alive. long Jaime Pressly (7/4/08)

και οι δύο χωράνε σε μικρά προς μεσαία πορτοφόλια.


ετούτα.

καιρό είχα να διαβάσω σωστά ένα τόσο μεγάλο adjust. αλλά με 1000 πτώματα ως οδηγό, πώς να πέσω έξω;

Lynch

νωρίτερα σήμερα, τακτοποιώντας τα κινηματογραφικά εισιτήρια των τελευταίων 3 μηνών, έπεσα σε αυτό του INLAND EMPIRE. Ήταν 6 Ιουνίου, βραδάκι, όταν βγαίναμε από την αίθουσα του "Μακεδονικόν", μετά από σχεδόν 3 ώρες ατμοσφαιρικότατου αλλά και δυσνοητότερου από ποτέ David Lynch.

καθισμένος στο πεζουλάκι απ' έξω, την επόμενη προβολή περίμενε ο Γιάννης Μπουτάρης.

φαντάστηκα πως θα ήταν τα πράγματα αν οι κάτοικοι αυτής της πόλης έσπαζαν τα καλούπια και τον ψήφιζαν. πώς θα ήταν αν ο δήμαρχος αυτής της πόλης είχε έστω και λίγη από την τρέλα ενός Lynch.

προσπάθησα να φανταστώ το σημερινό δήμαρχο της πόλης να παρακολουθεί το INLAND EMPIRE...

μετά, σταμάτησα να φαντάζομαι.
