Last-Mile Fiber Optic
Johnny Mnemonic writes "The newsletter "The Town Paper" tracks the development of "traditional" new developments--developments with integrated shopping, parks, and that are pedestrian friendly. Their recent issue has an article that describes a new community in Issaquah WA that has, among it's interesting features: a wired LAN in every home, free community Intranet, and a choice for a fiber optic connection. It is probably no coincidence that Microsoft is planning on building 3 million square feet of office space there. How much is a pre-wired house worth to you? What will this do for community building?"
As long as no fuundimental religion is included, i'm all for a fiber connection that's free of charge, where can I sign up?

Forget the long hair.. nevermind the tie-dye shirt.. I'm sure those wouldn't make any difference at all to my neighbors, but I don't have a single Windows machine in the house! I'd never fit in.

what about your imagined "RIGHT TO PRIVACY"?
they should either get rid of comments altogether, or present the articles as if they came from a professional discussion site.
When you have some buttplug like michael attaching his snippy little flamebait comments to the "articles", you can hardly blame the readers for not taking the site seriously.
The gentoo CD you shoved up your ass must be blocking the blood flow to your brain.
Yeah, no shit, talk about stating the obvious in as many words as possible. I think the guy is just taking his first networking course, and things his 'insights' are hot shit. No, they're not, they're just obvious, like so many IP patents.
Look at all those shiney smiling white people.
Place looks like hell on earth based on the web site.
