100 Mbps Community Fiber Network: Howto

batro writes: "The main page says it all: 'Everything slower than 10 Mbps is just a toy!' This is a nice writeup (with pictures!) of how a 100 Mbps community fiber network in northern Sweden came into being."

    The sheep naively believe that the Dogs and Pigs ready do care about them. "You know that I care what happens to you / And I know that you care for me too." The song Dogs is a seventeen minute fast-to-slow-to-fast-again ballad. It depicts the dogs as ruthless materialistic superachievers trying to climb to the top and who are willing to do anything to get there. Since in the capitalistic government the state has no control over buying and trading, businessmen are willing to get very low down and dirty to destroy the competition. The lyrics, "You gotta be trusted by the people that you lie to / So that when they turn their backs on you / You get the chance to put the knife in" shows just how far they are willing to go. And that they can "work on points for style" by having a "firm handshake / A certain look in the eye / an easy smile." Only later in life they will become pitiful has-beens that find themselves alone and near death. Gilmour wishes them a "good drown as [they] go down alone" being dragged down by "the stone" which is a reoccurring metaphor throughout "Animals" as well as other Floyd albums.
