Cost/person in each country is the simpleton's approach to making the broadband-is-overpriced-in-america argument. Population density should also be factored in. Americans, in relation to the countries listed, are much more spread out which warrants a higher cost for infrastructure.

There's no need to waste time by playing games. Change the rules of engagement to allow anyone merely being approached by pirates (the gun-toting in small water craft type) to fire at will.

you should do some research on the radiation half-life of the Japan leaks vs Chernobyl before equating the two. now go find the announcement that initial radiation readings in california coming from japan are a billion times below health concerns.
you've become a worry-wart dynamo. if only we could harness that energy as an alternative source.

(sarcasm) Right, because the Chernobyl release of radiation is equatable to Japan's fortified plants. Be careful that your apples don't get mutated to oranges.
After learning this was likely caused by a failed single SAN upgrade by Hitachi, I have to think that the architecture built to support the Sidekick didn't have an adequate budget to be built right. Budgets ultimately decide what we techs/admins get to work with. We can always ask for what we want. But someone else (procurement, finance, project management, architect) can shoot it down, resulting in Plan B. And in most cases the person(s) signing/approving the final purchase order hasn't got a clue. By the time a failure occurs, the parties responsible for the system in place have long gone to their next position to screw up.
Athletes, the Track & Field ones, are already required to piss in a cup for drug testing. The results of which will eventually be published for a positive test. DNA testing is just an extrapolation of an existing process. From the IAAF's perspective participants have no right to hide their sexual identity. Don't like the rules? go form your own organization. Vince McMahon will tell you that's a dumb idea (re: XFL with no drug tests). You want to talk about privacy invasion, try looking at the list of drugs which aren't allowed in an athlete's system and see how many you may have in your medicine cabinet. The majority of cough medicines are verboten. The right question isn't so much about privacy as much as it is how a governing organization should go about sanctioning a fair competition.
Here's a question: What if this skull was that of an animal that was way out there on the bell curve of its own species? With just one skull, one can't readily determine true qualatative or quantative comparisons of one species to another, can he?
The links you provided support your claims, but offer little in objectivity of most responsible journalism. Is the WSJ saying these same things?
Our views clash in such a way that I doubt there is any middle ground.
This sums up my views:
We aren't seeing change in competition because CLEC's haven't learned how to enact a profitable business case. The days of 'free' service are about over. The '96 Act was formed out of a "head in the granola sack" (to quote a previous slashdotter) mindset that failed to realize the reality of the business world. Any CLEC that fails because it banked its success on the promises of the '96 Act and the knee-jerk frenzy of the shareholders gets no sympathy from me.
I agree with you on ILECs and RBOCs power. But you can't discount the power of state governments as well (power dereg in CA for example, area code split vs. overlay decisions another).
Also I can't fully accept the concept that ratepayers outright bought the facilities. Again, those rates were set by the PUCs. And for the RBOCs to provide you a T1, they had/have to provide the switch, populate it with the necessary cards, build out the fibre and copper, and pay some people to do it.
Given that the CLECs knew those rates, the blame on their failure should not be totally focused on the RBOCs.
Consider that the prices the Incumbants charge the CLECs are regulated rates that have been approved by the respective state utility commissions. Granted, the political power of the RBOCs does have an influence on those rates, the RBOCs still have to provide a case to the states that the CLECs can make money. (What price would you charge for someone else to use your facilities that you bought and are still paying for?)
I think the cause of most CLEC failures is a combination of poor business models & over inflated stocks(that took a nose dive 1Qtr 2000).
I tend to believe that statement (blacks make better runners) as it relates to speed. This is because I know of no white man who has run a 100M Dash under 10.00 seconds.
Your Public Utility Commission in California mandated that the area code change be a split(re-align the geographical area for a new code). They are the ones who deserve the blame, not the phone companies. It's technically easier for the phone company to overlay (add an area code over existing region so you keep your same number, but dial 10 digits instead of 7). It was the same way in Texas in '96. SWBell never endorsed area code splits, but had to comply with the TX PUC ruling. Since then the majority of area code changes have been overlays in the large Metro areas due to the public backlash over the area code splits.
Businesses rely on the number. They spend money to advertise the number. Their customers have memorized the number. Why should businesses be penalized. All additional area codes should be done using the overlay method (not split) to allow everyone to keep their same 10 digit numbers.

Well the dimensions of the ark itself come from Genesis 6:15:
450ft long, 75ft wide, 45ft high.
Or about 1.5M ft^3.
A quick glance at the specs shows no USB 2.0, just 1.1

You're wrong, there is no middle ground between our views. And no arguments made on this site will change them.
