Is the Chinese govt financing it or does private industry shoulder the burden? What kind of wage and permit cost differential are we looking at(since that is the major part of the cost, particularly if you're laying underground cables)?
People forget that Sprint spent billions deploying the ION network over a decade ago. Blew away every other consumer offering at the time(something like 5-6x faster than my cable internet at the time) and affordable, but hardly anyone switched over. Few years later they shuttered the service because they couldn't cover maintenance. Set back speed growth for consumers for a long time. Took many years before another national push for a service that was far and away faster than all the rest came about(FIOS)
That is the second factor involved. South Korea, for instance, has one of the top average offerings for consumers for speed. Very dense and didn't modernize that infrastructure until very recently.
Europe was also very far behind on adoption for broadband. While I was enjoying unlimited cable internet and DSL here in 2000, when I spent the summer in Britain and France laughing at their advertising for hourly dialup.
Maybe if they focused more on Grevious as a predecessor to Vader. It was a big gaping hole that they only tangentially made with the sickness and the heart and a few other bits.
The Ewoks jumped the shark, but the Luke-Leia-Han triangle made it a good movie regardless. Eps 4-6 were character stories with actors that invested themselves in the roles(even Billy Dee). That is what made them great. We liked the characters(or hated them). Eps 1-3 were special effects sets with characters as an afterthought. The only likable characters were Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. The sad thing is that Eps 1-3 had a lot of good actors that completely mailed it in. Even Christopher Lee was underwhelming.
The majority of rural America doesn't compare to places like Los Angeles. LAUSD spends the most per pupil in the state(and among the top in the nation), but it has a 30% dropout rate and a 70% 4 year graduation rate. It also has some of the lowest ranked schools in the state. In the end, it reflects the world it lives in. LA is a shithole.
Well, maybe if those gamers are ~23 or younger. Anyone who gamed on a Genesis or SNES and earlier wouldn't fit into your average console gamer category.
Do you own the rowing machine at 24 Fitness? No. You pay a subscription fee to use it, and if you stop paying, you can't take the rowing machine home with you.
Bandwidth may cost less, but unlimited bandwidth plans are going the way of the dodo. So, regardless of the cost of bandwidth, bandwidth is becoming a finite resource for an increasing number of people.
Same thing at our schools and parks in suburban SoCal. Also gone is the high dive from all the local public pools. No one ever got hurt on the high dives mind you, but someone might think the diving board goes the other way and they would jump off the ladder, so the insidious device needed to be removed. Well, there were those kids that hurt their stomachs with bellyflops off the highdive. Red stomachs are a menace apparently.
Shitty thing is that this affected my son tremendously. I asked him why he didn't play tag, freeze tag, or butts up at school and he said that the teachers didn't allow any physical touching or violent games. Also, the teachers frown on competition and you get sent to the principals office for telling a kid you don't want to play with him(because it's mean).
Not every solution is young. PICK is a NoSQL db that predates SQL. It's descendants are supported and cross-compatible to a degree. NoSQL is a generic term. You need a specific database. For a PICK based solution, I'd look at Reality. Reality has been around for decades and is highly supported and has many features for compatibility with modern databases and modern operating systems. OpenQM is GPL licensed and of the same class. jBASE might be a more recognizable descendent.
I think a lot of chiropractors spout bullshit, but there are benefits from a few of them(outside of the placebo effect obviously). In particular, I've had success with therapy to sports injuries with a combination of massage and chiropractic treatment received from on-staff practitioners while playing high school and college sports. Cure anything? Nah. Alleviate the pain? Yes. Accelerate healing? Dunno, when you're young you heal pretty quick anyways.

China didn't start with a full copper network. US did. Early adoption isn't great for this.
Akamai are the Praetorians? Do they hide pi symbols on all of the websites they control?

There's that word again; "lighter". Why are things so much lighter in the future? Is there a problem with the earth's gravitational pull?
Well, look at your name.

Unfortunately, I'm not lying. It happened to my son. I wish I was lying

what about a premodern one?
Can't talk about NoSQL databases without including PICK. Hell, it predates SQL by years. And scaling is what it does best.

imperial is sometimes called standard... GP didn't say "the standard".. durrr
Non-sufficient funds funds?
You think people will be less scared of microwaves after so many people played Sim City 2000?
This will be pretty cool to zone out with. Pop on Space Station Soma, the stream, and off to lala land you go
Long Beach, CA has had them since the 1930s, as well, and we call them traffic circles
...assholes like LulzSec are going to bring this shit to everyone. Thanks for starting the new Red Scare
