Idaho Gets Serious About Broadband
prostoalex writes "In an effort to boost the economy state of Idaho legislated tax credit for companies, who were investing in broadband Internet infrastructure. According to the latest news, the plan worked quite well, and about 150 thousand people can soon take advantage of tax-sponsored buildout. Speaking of wiring rural areas with cheap Internet access, there was an article in NY Times ($free_registration_quote), where Bill Gates admitted that in many cases building Internet in the rural area just speeded up the exodus of farmers, who were able to find a job somewhere else."
Idaho? No, u da ho...
I'm sure you're well aware that perl and many other languages with the $var syntax exist for windows, so I don't need to point that out, yes?
Thank you for your time, and have a sucky day.
you goddamned retard.
that isn't funny at all.

oh, and your mom is a slut.
Democrats fretted after their rout in the midterm elections that the black voters they always take for granted didn't show up at the plantation Tuesday. Now San Francisco Democrat Nancy Pelosi is treating Rep. Harold Ford Jr. in a way that gives new meaning to the term "house slave."
"This race is over," Rep. Pelosi, D-Calif., sneered today after lodging a few potshots at the 32-year-old Ford about his youth.
Ford, D-Tenn., wants to replace Dick Gephardt as House minority leader because Pelosi is too "liberal." Far left is more like it.
Incoherent
"The American people were sending us a message on Election Day," said Ford. "Our message has not been coherent and cogent enough.''
Moderate Democrat Rep. Martin Frost dropped out of the race today and backed Pelosi - we'd love to hear the details of that little deal. But just the day before, he noted:
"There are an awful lot of Democrats who are very uneasy about the party moving sharply to the left and who want a party that's in the middle that speaks strongly and confronts the Republicans. I think that her politics are to the left, and I think that the party, to be successful, must speak to the broad center of the country.
'Our Values'
Pelosi launched into a diatribe against Republicans today and concluded, "I am convinced that the American people share our values and our hopes for the country."
Yes, Tuesday's elections prove that the American people share the values of the San Francisco Democrats.
Newsday columnist and Fox News contributor Jim Pinkerton observed, "The situation is a lot like what Democrats went through in 1968 to '72." Anti-war Democrats took over the party and ran South Dakota leftist George McGovern for president in 1972. McGovern was crushed.
If, as expected, the Democrat establishment spurns Ford, it will only further alienate the black voters it treats as its chattel.
Lame-duck Rep. Cynthia McKinney, of all people, had a sensible comment in an article Thursday in the Washington Times about why blacks didn't rush to the polls this year.
"While the national pundits postulate on the reasons why minority voters didn't turn out, minority voters themselves know the truth," she said. "For generations, the Democratic Party has taken the minority vote for granted."
Note to Harold Ford Jr.: There's room for you in the Republican Party.
Idaho? where's that?
It might help if there was a parent.
OT - I know, I know. But I just have to share this:
;)
... maybe. Then email me and let me know when it is there. Make sure the hat is in the car - I'd like a red one.

Did this Allah guy testify for you or something? You could say the two of you were in bed when the murder happened so you establish an alibi. Of course you and he may have to actually have sex, just so if they ask any questions about the murder you have the same story. Maybe you already thought of that, though.

If you knew they had plans to seize your father's money why didn't you do something about it?! Sounds like sloppy work - I hate sloppy work.
By the way, how do you know what the government's plans are for your money this time? Are you banging some guy in the government who tells you this stuff? Or maybe it is the same guy - that Allah whoever.

Boy! $20 million is a lot of money. You could buy a lot of KY with that much money.
So 20% of $20 million - that's $40,000, right? I could get a new car and maybe a hat with that. Maybe a convertible and a baseball cap. I always liked that look. Say - if you want my help, you could just buy me the car and the hat and we could call it even.
Park the car under the Brooklyn bridge and leave the keys behind the right rear tire. There are alot of cops there so I know it won't get stolen. If the cops ask why you are leaving the car there just wink at them and shake your ass and they will think you are off to bugger some guy and they will leave you alone
Oh, and make sure the car has an alarm - there are a lot of thieves in the U.S. Thieves and murderers. But they are nothing compared to the lawyers. I suggest you shoot your lawyer immediately before he hits you on the head and takes all your money - then sues you.
Here it's all lawyers driving around in convertibles wearing their baseball caps. I hate them so much.

Tt is worth emphasizing that "Israeli democracy" is an incarnation of Apartheid South Africa's democracy. It also could be argued that Apartheid South Africa was for a very long time the only democracy in Africa, however, it was a democracy for the White race only. Similarly, Zionist democracy in Israel was and still is designed to empower "Jewish People" only based on their faith. At one point, Israel has to choose between being a "Democratic Jewish State" or a "Democratic State" to all of its citizens, Jews and non-Jews. Eventually, such facades to democracy will self-destruct, and until it changes, the talk about "Israeli democracy" is nothing but a propaganda campaign that makes good sound bytes in the Western media.
