    Let me clue you in:
    GMOs are to science what AGW is to Science.
    because, it's science.
    Different specialties, but still science.

    If you are an ignorant sheep, then you think AGW is not real even though it's a fact.
    If you are an ignorant sheep, then you are afraid of GMOs, even though you are clueless about Chemistry..

    Political alignment is irrelevant.

  18. Re:$300 = free? on Google Fiber Is Officially Making Its Way To Portland · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It is a falsehood to separate the costs when you have no option then their equipment to get the service. They in inextricably linked. So no, not free.
    It's a great price for the service, I can't wait for it to get done, and I think it's long over due for this level of competition.
    But you statement is a falsehood based on years of market conditioning.

  19. Re:also $75/month each = more hiring on Google Fiber Is Officially Making Its Way To Portland · · Score: 1

    Thats 75 a month customer should be putting in the bank.

    Any ways, 10 million spread out over all the services provide will mean exactly no more jobs.
    Sure, if all the people went to star bucks, you would have an increase, but that's not how it happens.
    And you number assume no one in Portland,Or. would want the 1Gb speed; which is laughable becasue Portland loves there high speeds.

    You also don't seem to take into account the fact that the basic 'free' plan doesn't include TV. the 75 dollars from local providers is internet and TV.

    SO, no. There will be no new jobs.

    the free service is great for small personal use, but you would be really hard pressed to run a business on it.

    That said, jobs aren't a 1 to 1 switch. IF there are 10 ISP employing 10 people, Google will probably only requires 20 employees fr he whole area.
    It' will be a job loss. The 'IT create more jobs then it eliminates' starting going negative at the end of the 90s.

    it's a great deal, you can pay via payments or up front, but can we stop with that 'pay us money, and get 'free' service?

    I'm really looking at you Amazon and your pay 99 a year and get free shipping.

    Again, Great deal, cheap price, good speeds for that price, ...not free.

    It just occurred to me I should find out is it's one time fee per customer, or per address.
