RAS is still super-unreliable

Lately (and by that I mean over the last few months), RAS (Windows remote connectivity into work) has been very unreliable. There are two steps to logging in remotely: connecting to the VPN, and then connecting to the remote machine via terminal server. First the first broke, and I was getting strange errors connecting to the network itself (which MS IT eventually got fixed for me, though neither they nor I am sure which step actually fixed the problem); now I keep getting random network errors connecting to my remote machine (any of the three), although I can ping then and connect to servers on them just fine. I wish the incompetent twits over there would just leave well alone and not try to "fix" what wasn't broken.
And finally some extracts from an
article on pregnant teens (for sources see article itself; warning, crude language): - "Nearly 80 percent of unmarried teen mothers end up on welfare."
- "Among unmarried mothers age 25 and older only nine percent had college degrees."
- "Each year, teen pregnancy costs the United States around $7 billion." ($53 per taxpayer*)
* Well, 131 million returns which means there could be a lot less people actually paying taxes; divide it out, about $53 each.
