Universal Broadband Access

meehawl writes: "Wall Street Journal has this on proposed new Government regulation and tax breaks to encourage Universal Broadband Access. This idea appears to be gaining ground. Whether this becomes a public good (Universal Service, the Interstates, the USPS) or just another corporate welfare program (or perhaps a mixture of both?) remains to be seen." Another submitter sent in an interesting story about broadband in France.

    Anyone read this crud? Says poor old church of satan isn' liked by Apple, and now that pervert satan critter wants to express disagreement with Apple. Poor ol' guy. Maybe 200 infiniti years in hell would cheer him up.

    These are the people that pray USA dies. It's those ugly goth people. We should pray for them.

    or are you just mentally challenged? infiniti + 1 is greater than infiniti. Let me give you an example on some imaginary mathematics, boy.

    x = x

    we don't know x and never will know x. let's just say x is a figment of our imagination.

    x + 1 > x

    we can officialy say that anything added to x, other than zero, is effectively greater than x by itself. If x were infinity, then anything added to x would simply complement infinity and thus is true,

    x + 1 > x

    infinity + 1 > infinity.

    You should take a refresher course on math, friend. I'll pray for you.
