BPL: The Internet's Fool's Gold

Joe Barr writes "One of the more fascinating tidbits of information I came across while researching this story on NewsForge about BPL, the fatally flawed wannabe-broadband-provider technology, was that at the very same time the FCC was downplaying the threat of the interference BPL creates, the FCC's very own test results were showing just the opposite."

Re:Nice troll. But let me enligthen everyone else.

My hobby doesn't have self-important asses who take every opportunity to tell me how special, important and wonderful they are either.

It's funny, I've yet to see a policeman, a fireman, a paramedic, a doctor, a Red Cross volunteer or even a laborer who clears rubble and rebuilds infrastructure loudly announce to everyone how critical and valuable and he is and how "you'll be sorry!" when you guys take your ball and go home. I guess the people who do the real work in emergencies don't have the time to troll message boards puffing themselves up. They've got work to do.
