They will keep records of the fact that some collage kids took a trip up to Montreal to go drinking for 40 years...

If some terrorist wants to do harm here he isnt going to give a crap that he is being logged in some database. Heck he will just cross over from mexico with out being checked at all.
Im not talking about roads or schools. Im talking about TV. If you dont like the rates then dont buy the service. Get a dish, get some rabbit ears, or read a book. I still fail to see way the gov should be messing with privet sector services...
When will the internet bubble "2.0" pop? I cant freakin wait. Words like "blog" and social networking make my skin crawl.
Here's an idea.. How about they turn web based email in to email that just works? Taking 2 or 3 times more time to read my email on gmail as it took with pine/mutt is not a step forward. Now they want to add even more crap to it.

You can walk in the rain or the snow for miles to stay slim.
Ill stick to just going to the gym. Much less chance of frost bite. Oh and ill keep driving there in my old lincoln with its heated seats:)
The landlord can say something like "You can install the dish anyware you want as long as its on your balcony and not bolted to the building"
Fine if your balcony is on the south west side of the building (here on the east coast) but if your on the north east side your SOL.
He can still ban you from putting holes in his building or holes in his roof.
What about all the nursing homes, trailer parks, and low income buildings that are wired with BULK (Cable is in the rent) accounts? Do these people really think their rent is going to drop 50 or 60bux a month? Guess what. Thats not how buying things in bulk works. Maybe your rent goes down $20 because of this great new law but now you get to pay $55 to have the same thing you had before. Ya! Go.gov!
Who do you think is going to pay to rewire (wallfish/snake, rip up walls) these bulk places so that each unit can be turned on/off by its self? Thats right. You!
Now that we got the fed-gov to delete the ca.gov domain how can we get them to delete the rest of the state? Isnt it due to brake off from the rest of the CONUS?:P
Thats called a "bulk account". Alot of nursing homes and hospitals have them.
The way to get a cable modem or digital box in there is to have a friend who lives near you get one at his home on his account and then just plug it in to the cable at your place.
By using the same logic then we can say that the bottleneck in the FIOS system is the copper network cable between the FIOS box and your PC.
At some point you go from fiber to coper in both systems.
The cable co's do it on the end of the street
FIOS does it at the side of your house.
Since bandwidth on fiber is limited to the hardware at each end it doesn't matter where you make the change over.
If the cable co wanted to sell a 100mbit+ service then they would split the nodes up real small...They could keep going until they get to a point that they have a node on the side of each home. Since they are only provisioning modems for 4,6,8mbit...etc service HFC will do fine for them.
My cable co charges $7.50 a month for DVR service. I'll pay the extra $2.50 not to have to deal with building my own. And if it brakes they give me a new one.

Just what we need... More government controls...
They always know and do whats best for you and me!
Now i can do every thing on the internet.
No longer do i need to get up and go out side. I can just surf to it via google.com!
l33t!

So what happens when you hit someone in one of these things? Or run in to another car?
Who's insurance gets to pay for damages?

Until he needs to return something and doesnt have the packaging... then he just screwed himself

So how many IR LED's will it take to blind these IR cams?

As long as they invite natalie portman to the party im going :P
Ya 4 is ok...

"Yep! Your data will not be shaped, limited, or blocked in ANY WAY on our network.

PS: We can not guarantee neutrality outside our network. "
Sounds like a great plan! Most people only want to send their wAreZ/mp3z down the street anyways right??
There is no way this ISP could fail.
Its fiber to the node(just like cable does it) The last leap still uses plain old twisted pair wire. Its basicly video over VDSL.
I heard they where going to do FTTH in very few (read: $RICH$) towns but most will be FTTN.

MOST up to date cable systems already use fiber in a "HFC" setup. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_fibre-coaxial
If they need more bandwidth they just split bigger nodes in to smaller nodes. HFC has no problem growing with the needs of more digital bandwidth.
The only issue with this is when some cable co's try to cut cost by over crowding a node.

I can hear them now..
guinness beer guys: "Mixing math with beer? Brilliant!!"
Ive never noticed a difference from Firefox on my OSX machine and Firefox on my linux laptop. What sites are really using MS only fonts?
Tomorrow they are killing american "enemies of the state"(the state being the party in charge at that time).
Would be hard to get american troops to fight other american citizens... but the new T-1000 would have no problem doing it.
Anyplace with a liquor license pays ALOT more for cable tv then you or I. Most of that goes to paying these fee's.
Sounds like your using a radio with a crappy front end. Im sure if they where really that wide the FCC would have visited them already.
