Chattanooga's EPB is the bomb. High bandwidth, low latency. Sneaky "little" local power provider has been stringing dark fiber for more than a decade. Symmetrical, and usually faster than what you're paying for. When they first started I was paying for the 20mbps, and I was getting more like 45mbps. Maybe living close to ornl.gov helps;)

I highly recommend Charles Fort's The Book of the Damned for a start. Throw in a bit of Twain and Bierce for seasoning.
Richard Feynman (of course) for the main course. You can't open that safe... you can't look at that A-bomb blast... you shouldn't drop that O-ring in a glass of icewater...
Also, their cable, their rules, don't like it, ditch Comcast.
I'd love to. Unfortunately (for me) I don't have any other options other than Comcast or a 56K dialup via the local Podunk telco. Admittedly I choose to live in pretty much the middle of nowhere and Comcast is my only option for any sort of reliable 'net access.
Given, that's what I get for living where I choose. That's my fault. Er, well, exept for the fact that Comcast will sue anybody that attempts to challenge their monopoly and provide alternative sources for network access.
Local Power Board wants to run fiber to my door, Comcast sues because it's "unfair" to them.
I would attempt to back up my position, but I've spent 4+ hours today futzing with their dain bramageg tech support people. (Please insert a generic clueless/MCSE/Comcast/microsoft/whatever) barb here. I am now disgruntled. They are fuckwads.
You really should pay a bit more attention to Yvanhoe's words... I'll quote them again:
You're carrying a microphone that is made in order to transmit voice wirelessly, you probably have it on in your pocket, at voice reach during all of your private conversation and you rely on a non-disclosed, neither third-party-approved proprietary software running on proprietary hardware to prevent it from spying on you.
Add in the fact that you have (for the most part) no clue about the network protocols that make your magical device function.
Fortunately there are checks and balances and all sorts of...

Nasa is such a lost cause right now. Anytime they say anything, it is "we dont have enough money".
And a huge chunk of NASA's budget is spent on pork bullshit. They don't have the fucking money, period. And if you believe the "moon then mars" crap our president spewed recently then you are a complete fucktard. Wait for your hydrogen powered flying car and we'll talk...

The Inquestor Trilogy. John C. Wright 20 years ago.
Yes. Read it now. Please...
LOL! Bastard threatened to file charges against me once - I was legitimately passed out in a stairway and he tripped on me dammit.
Travel back in time, realize the Black Death sucks, well no shit. Sorry, IMHO "Doomsday Book" was an annoying read.

Why the fuck is serious infrastructure wired to the 'net at all? Complete batshit insanity.
Nah, you don't get shot until "Describe in single words only the good things that come into your mind about... your mother." Just sayin.
Nope, I haven't seen pickups driving 500 miles on a tank either.
My 10 year old Ford will, but it does have a 30 gallon tank. Sucks to fill it up...

Well that sounds fun - thank you for the idea.... er, their eyes are bigger in anime...
...so why not live within our means and try to find sustainable solutions to expand those means?
Convince China, India, and the US to all do that... all at the same time.
