Austin may be the third city to get Google Fiber, but that doesn't mean Kansas City is all up and running. I live in Kansas City and I'm still waiting for my Google Fiber connection to be hooked up. The fiber is now on the utility pole behind my house, but they haven't run the fiber to my house yet. A recent email from Google stated that it might be as late as spring 2015 before my neighborhood is hooked up.
In the mean time, I plan to improve my latency by hiring Lorenzo Cain to run my external HDs to/from whom ever I'm trading files with.
for casual web browsing/listening to music on my XP machine I'll boot to puppy linux on a usb drive. Whenever I need to run something in Windows I'll just boot into XP after unplugging the ethernet cable.
perhaps, but with google fiber (the tv+internet plan) a 2tb network drive is provided to store tv shows, pics, music, etc. and according to the tos, the network drive (among other devices) belong to the customer and do not need to be returned to google when/if the customer decides to switch providers.
most people (myself included), would ask: "why would I want to pay for cloud storage when I have a 2tb drive right here?" and keep in mind that google fiber will allow residential customers to run servers for non-commercial purposes so if you wanted to, you could access your drive remotely and hence, no cloud storage needed.

so Disney, who I believe has enough money and lawyers could sue King out of existence because in the movie Wreck It Ralph, there is a character by the name of King Candy.
Also in KCMO. Arrived at 4pm and the line could have moved faster but wasn't too bad. There were three different lines to sign in depending on what the first letter of your last name is. The p through z line was about empty and the h through o line(the one i was in) had about 25 people in it when I got there. There were two electronic voting machines and scantron sheets. I was asked which method I wanted to vote(I assume no one was asked by a poll worker to use one or the other). By the time I left an hour later, the line was out the door.
I live in Kansas City although not in one of the first phase of fiber hoods. On a local forum we had a discussion about this site already and I brought up the terms of service for residential fiber service.
...Unless you have a written agreement with Google Fiber permitting you do so, you should not host any type of server using your Google Fiber connection...
... or use your Google Fiber account to provide commercial services to third parties (including, but not limited to, selling Internet access to third parties).
and hereis the page containing those rules. So without a written agreement you can't run a server. The "providing commercial services" part most likely means no sharing your gigabit connection, not "you can't work from home". I don't think google wants their residential fiber service to be used to start the next facebook.com. They want those entrepreneurs to pay a more for the business service. Whenever google fiber was first announced and what we heard on the local news was something to the effect of it's going to be an experiment by google to see what people will do with a giga-bit connection. At first that sounded like (to me anyway) that they would let us run our own web servers from home, but now it looks more like they just want to offer a web browsing only service for residential customers(like Time Warner).
My question to anyone who has an answer: How could someone use google fiber residential service to get their startup off the ground without breaking the terms of service?
The weird part is that there are a couple of stations still broadcasting analog and normal programming
The countless number of PSAs that aired concerning the DTV transition stated that low power stations would not be affected. Are these couple of stations you speak of major network affiliates for a large metro area or a local community college station?
I ordered my supercard from www.realhotstuff.com. They accept money orders, credit cards, and Paypal. They ship from within the US too. I used Paypal when I ordered and recieved my supercard in about a week.
yes, I am a mailman. Maybe I shouldn't have used the word "always" since it implies "100% of the time". But netflix seems to send 3 dvds at a time more often than they send 1 or 2. Although I do deliver a lot more netflix than blockbuster and walmart combined, I don't deliver them everyday since I work in the poor(ghetto) part of the city.
I work as a mail carrier and I see a lot more netflix dvds than blockbuster or walmart dvd rentals. In fact I didn't even know walmart had dvd rentals until I delivered some to a house.
Something I've noticed about netflix is that they always send dvds in groups of 3, where blockbuster and walmart might send one.
I work for the postal service as a mail carrier and have seen plenty of stickers like this before. If the mail has your name on it or the words "current resident/occupant" then it get's delivered to your box. Having such a sticker on your box wont grab the attention of lawyers, they're too busy prosecuting people accused of mail fraud and theft.
You can refuse 1st class mail and it will be returned to sender.
You're not supposed to refuse anything that says current resident, but a lot of people do. It's pretty sad when I have to explain to someone that "current resident" means anyone who lives at this house.
Getting back on topic, you wont be sued for refusing "junk mail" that says current resident on it. Depending on the carrier, he/she might just keep putting it back in your box till you throw it in the trash.
The postmark is the circle thing that has the date and the city in which it was processed. when something is hand canceld(when it's too big for the machines), the postmark is put over the stamp(s) by a clerk. letters go through a machine that puts the postmark about 2 inches from the top right of the letter and from the postmark to the right side of the letter are the traditional wavy lines or sometimes Shrek and Donkey with the message "Greetings from far far away". The reason for the wavy lines is so that the postmark can be read easier and to cancel multiple stamps on one letter(ie a 34 and 3 cent stamp side by side might not be canceled by one postmark).
Not everything gets a postmark. I work as a mail carrier and every day I see 5 or 10 letters that didn't get postmarked and canceled.
You only have about a 1 in 1000 chance of sending a letter and having it delivered without a postmark and a 0 in 1000 chance of having anything delivered without the stamp being canceled.
A lot of the employees where I work are Mexican and most of them have cd players/radios and listen to spanish music all day. Most of the American workers have cd players/radios to listen to music in english. What ends up happening everyday is someone turns the volume up on their radio a little bit and a chain reaction starts. By the end of the day everyone has to yell to talk to the person next to them.
we probably wouldn't have to remove the ads. Just download the program from the developer's webiste. Chances are that the developer of said program isn't going to take time to put ads in it so another company can make money.

It could be 2 hours without the extra $1M. Just hold it at 2am tomorrow and when DST ends there will be another hour.

people aren't expecting to play against a combination of human and machine...
yeah, I wouldn't be expecting to play against Darth Vader either.
didn't they change it to Linxxxx for a short spell before changing again to Linspire?

Throw all unsupported electronics equipment older than five years out the window, regardless of whatever use I can make out of it.
great idea, I'll do that right now NO CARRIER
I linked to directory.google.com, if you use this link it doesn't have the tabs.
not all the tabs are gone. if you go to directory.google.com, the tabs are still there(as of 8am CST).
electronics interacting with each other might be cool, just as long as they dont make trapper keepers interact with electronics
