Ask About Setting Up a Community ISP
The Ruby Ranch Internet Cooperative (RRIC) is one of the best-known member-owned ISPs around. It provides DSL service to the Ruby Ranch neighborhood in Summit County, Colorado. Carl Oppedahl, the RRIC "main man," has agreed to answer Slashdot questions about the possibilities and pitfalls of setting up something similar in other areas. Please read the RRIC FAQs before posting a question so that you don't ask something Carl has already answered a million times. Otherwise, the usual Slashdot interview rules apply: One question per post, we'll email Carl 10 of the highest-moderated questions, and post his answers as soon as he gets them back to us.

Niggers will steal your bandwidth, then shoot you in the face if you tried to complain. Then, when the authorities arrive, they'll cry 'racist'.

No matter how you spell it, they are the one who slammed the planes into WTC, killing over 3000 innocent people.
Only sleazeballs do such thing.
Gawd Awful Sleazeballs !
Ask the non-Moslems who live in countries controlled by Moslems, such as Saudi Arabia, or Indonesia, or Sudan, or Iran, or Pakistan, ask them how they have been treated.
The Pakistan Christians have had their churches bombed, and Christians are being killed INSIDE their churches !
Similar things happen in Indonesia, Sudan, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Malaysia, and so on.
In Sudan, Christian minority in the south are being slaughtered by the barbaric Moslems from the north.
The only thing that Moslems bring into this world is BLOODY VIOLENCE. But don't blame the Moslems.
It's their ALLAH who told them to do so. At least, Osama Bin Laden thinks so !
Next time you see a Moslem, ask him or her about "Jihad", ask the Moslem about the "49 virgins waiting in heaven" for those who "sacrifies for Allah".
It's all in their "Quran", their blood-soaked book from and by the DEVIL himself !
Muchas Gracias, Señor Edward Snowden !
What you really mean is, you got broadband so you could pass on the cost of your most likely heavy usage of Intellectual Propertry infringement software onto your ISP instead of at least paying for conducting your own illegal activities yourself?
Of course, this being Slashdot you'll probably reply that "Information wants to be free" at which point I would most likly respond, "Information isn't an animal. It can't want anything. It isn't alive nor does it have any conciousness. And if we're going down that route, then Rent wants to be Paid! Lexus's want to be bought....etc"
I apologize in advance if you have legitimate legal uses for P2P software.
