Posted by timothy on from the depends-who's-defining-things dept.

According to a reader rockwellpa, Grand Haven, Michigan has recently completed the United States' first truly city-wide WiFi nework. According to the press release, "Other cities have announced intent to build similar networks or have announced partial deployments; in contrast, the Grand Haven implementation, by Ottawa Wireless Inc., is the first full and complete city-wide WiFi deployment in the country. 'As the first WiFi city in America, Grand Haven has truly lived up to its name in the Internet era, as we now allow anyone anywhere to connect to the Internet and roam the city and waterways in a completely secure computing environment'"

    I was going to make fun of the second person to post, considering they thought they had FP. Then I scanned down below and saw you.

    You take the cake you silly motherfucker. How coan you possibly fuck up this badly? Claiming FP and coming in second makes you look like a dumbass, but claiming FP and coming in third is just way off on the weeds of dumbassness. Previously unknown low it is. What you need to do is hold your head underwater until you either A) actually get FP, or B) Die from lack of oxygen. I fully expect and hope for B.

    Idiot.

    Replace "it" with "games" (or as someone else pointed out "shit") and it will go back to a sane color scheme. Works with any story, apparently.
