It sounds like you have a bit of a bone to pick with the big G.
Here's a life lesson kid, don't crap on your past employers in public. It makes it hard for people to hire you in the future. I've worked for some big names (call them the big A) and I could tell stories. And I do, with friends after a few drinks. But I never would do that on a public geek forum like/. because maybe someone that is thinking of hiring me is reading.
"The 1984 Rajneeshee bioterror attack was the food poisoning of more than 750 individuals in The Dalles, Oregon, United States, through the deliberate contamination of salad bars at ten local restaurants with salmonella. A leading group of followers of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (now known as Osho) had hoped to incapacitate the voting population of the city so that their own candidates would win the 1984 Wasco County elections.[2] The incident was the first, and single largest bioterrorist attack in United States history."

If the handset is causing issues with the network because of a rouge application just shut down the handset. (Well, allow 911 or your local PSAP number.) This, hopefully, would be just an AUP issue. Sometimes a hammer is the right tool.
Yeah, polisci students will be studying this one for decades. Having friends and family up there I've been following Alaska this year. Wing-nut vs. Entrenched/entitled vs. Nice guy Democrat (that is willing to open ANWAR.) Quite the show. Add in DropZone, voice mail, shoot-from-hip DoE and stir in the media and blogs.
Exactly! In todays political climate President Nixon would be called a socialist!
From our favorite wiki: "On the domestic front, he implemented the concept of New Federalism, transferring power from the federal government to the states; new economic policies which called for wage and price control and the abolition of the gold standard; sweeping environmental reforms, including the Clean Air Act and creation of the EPA; the launch of the War on Cancer and War on Drugs; reforms empowering women, including Title IX; and the desegregation of schools in the deep South."
Do you really think you could get that one past the lawyers? One kid gets hurt on some 'shop contraption and the school district gets its funding sued off.
And as a side note: One thing that differentiates Clearwire/Sprint WiMax is that it is a 100% IPv4 network. From the user device to the net. The whole network from the tower to data center is Layer 2 Ethernet. Clearwire is not a telco, it is truly an ISP.

Whadda ya mean? I can still bring up the autopatch on my 2m HT!

..the ability to boot from drivers larger than 2 TB and faster boot times.
That's some work to be able to load a +2TB driver and still have faster boot times. No how much RAM did I need for this?
And if you are not an idiot you would have already hired competent legal counsel to advise you on matters of law.
No, she just contacts customer "care".
I meant to say, shut off the radio.

That's a cracker of an idea!

Yeah, this one will end up in the courts.

Now if the machine had a pull-down list of all the registered write-in candidates...
Oh, I guess I shouldn't go there ;)
Yeah Colin, like from these guys: http://www.alaskastructures.com/
But, replace "house" with "computer" and suddenly I don't have to apply any of that to it.
Let me know when you get that $250,000 computer.
On Unix systems we would add a control-D as the first character to the .login file on their account.

Lawyers are why the world is so boring today.
Google is not an ISP. They are a content provider with a whole bunch of really good peering contracts and private fiber. They are not (yet) an ISP.
ISPs provide Internet service to end users. I don't even include transport providers (Level3, UUnet, Sprint, GBLX, etc.) as ISPs.
There are not many pure ISPs left. Clearwire is about the only one I can think of on a national scale.
How about .face for Facebook and .twit for Twitter. Talk about nasty domains.
and there is something very fanboi about you, noob.
We're not hating. We're just tired of getting a story every time Jobs farts.
Ya know, for the longest time I thought that FTFY meant Fuck That, Fuck You. Maybe it still does.

I've seen, with my own eyes and testing, 28Mb/s on Clearwire. Granted that was an uncapped testing account on an empty system, but still, it did it.
