Utah Cities To Provide High-Speed Net Access
Instarx writes "The New York Times reports that Salt Lake City and other Utah cities plan to install an ultrahigh-speed optical network as a public utility project starting next year. The network would provide internet access [for about $28 per month] in direct competition to slower commercial offerings. The network would be capable of delivering data over the Internet to homes and businesses at speeds 100 times faster than current commercial residential offerings. It would also offer digital television and telephone services through the Internet."
After decades of war, it is finally over. Emacs has lost and is dying a bloody death!
The Marketshare of emacs has dropped to just 13%.
In fact, its not even Second place anymore, its been overthrown by Kate, the Kde Advanced Text Editor, which has 19% of the market.
Emacs is dying a horrible fate, it is outdated, still uses an Athena GUI while VIM has ports to the Qt and GTK toolkits. With less and less distrobutions shipping emacs and opting for VIM as default, who knows what will happen.
Emacs is very sick, if it is to survive at all it will be with Debian Zealots, along with the gnu/hurd and Aging LISP workstations. Even The emacs website is dead.
It is a sad they for the Church of Emacs, and its a cold cold day in hell.
But I just wish they'd let me order a double!
Yes, way off topic, I submit myself for public flogging
My other sig is extremely clever...
Well, I would envy the people who get this deal... if they didn't live in Utah. Don't get me wrong, I think Utah is beautiful, but unless they put in all new people along with the cables, I'm staying away.
