I disagree. Modern cell coverage is wireless coverage, just expensive wireless coverage.
My Blackberry data services are about twice as fast as dialup, and that's over GPRS. It's highly latent, but it is for the most part as fast as dual channel ISDN which supplied via 802.11 is generally referred to as wireless.
The article makes no mention of the switching tech used, but it's very likely they are rolling out EDGE, which offers very realistic high speed rates (384 kbit/s). Sprint (Nextel's owner) is also rolling 1xEV-DO in major cities, and that's full 2.4 mbit/s.
Really, you over estimate our lack of socialization. Social equations are among the simplest.
Also, your lack of early understanding of quantum mechanics is nothing to expound upon others. We get it, and it was nothing big at the time. Quantum mechanics is something natural to anyone who interprets relativity properly to begin with.
That said, you are almost right about the way we view school in general. That has a lot to do with why I skipped college. It's really just a proving ground anyway; why go through it if you don't have to?
Also, we generally view grades as being pointless watermarks. The real test is how one does outside of the institution you were put into. Very few get to challenge that reality.
The company said in a statement: "RIM has developed and tested a fix for an obscure bug identified in a specific service pack release for BlackBerry Enterprise Server. The bug was isolated to version 4.02 and does not exist in version 4.03 or other earlier versions. RIM is aware of a single reported incident of the bug and responded promptly with a fix."
I was right there with you until the end: A SUV with a pinto-quality fueltank and a boot full of 'killing you softly' cigarettes would be much more beneficial for the environment:-)
Bill Bennett: if that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down.
The freedoms you speak of have ancient roots dating back in western tradition to at least the Magna Carta in 1215:
No free man shall be arrested, or imprisoned, or deprived of his property, or outlawed, or exiled, or in any way destroyed, nor shall we go against him or send against him, unless by legal judgment of his peers, or by the law of the land.
Perhaps we should view the 14th century renaissance as a result of these freedoms; let us hope that the expanded freedoms we have realized in the last century cause such enlightenment in the near future.
Your 'everything is nature' idea is quite indicative of your thought process. Let me give you a hand here.
In the English language, we differentiate between ideas using words, many of which have multiple meanings. The intended meaning can be determined by usage and context. For instance, your statement "Even if we lay scorched earth and caused the extinction, it's still a process of nature. Because...we ARE a part of nature." is demonstrably untrue due to it's logical failure on the basis of context.
The meaning of nature in the original context is number 4 listed below. You attempted to disprove a statement (that you in fact authored) by criticizing its veracity on the basis that it does not conform to another definition of the word.
1. The material world and its phenomena.
2. The forces and processes that produce and control all the phenomena of the material world: the laws of nature.
3. The world of living things and the outdoors: the beauties of nature.
4. A primitive state of existence, untouched and uninfluenced by civilization or artificiality: couldn't tolerate city life anymore and went back to nature.
5. Theology. Humankind's natural state as distinguished from the state of grace.
6. A kind or sort: confidences of a personal nature.
7. The essential characteristics and qualities of a person or thing: "She was only strong and sweet and in her nature when she was really deep in trouble" (Gertrude Stein).
8. The fundamental character or disposition of a person; temperament: "Strange natures made a brotherhood of ill" (Percy Bysshe Shelley).
9. The natural or real aspect of a person, place, or thing. See synonyms at disposition.
10. The processes and functions of the body.
[Middle English, essential properties of a thing, from Old French, from Latin ntra, from ntus, past participle of nsc, to be born.]
While the other parts of the equation are very important, you need to start with a firm foundation, and if you're doing your own wiring, this is the place to start.
Please, drop that idea like it's a hot potato. Really. It's the 21st century, pretend for a second that you can behave like a member of it and not whatever hollow you "learned" that attitude about others from.
Science sees no racial distinctions among us, why should you?

a common misconception about government.
The government is a collection of resources that work on the behalf of you and I. We pay taxes so that all of us can lead better lives
If you think about it, the system works incredibly well, despite what the so-called conservatives will tell you.
The government provides you with a lot of benefits for your small contribution. Let's say that you pay $20,000 a year in taxes. That sounds like a lot of money, but it pays for a lot of things you need.
Things like roads, schools, parks, water, health care, space exploration, and even the internet itself. It's simply amazing that we get so much for that small contribution. Could you pay for any of that yourself? Imagine trying just to pay for just one of those things. Private industry could not, and would not fill the bill for any of these items.
That said, we certainly could do better. We spend two thirds of our tax dollars on militarization, something that's clearly excessive. No country is close to our technological level, yet we insist on making the ability to kill people the focus of our expenditures.
Let's imagine that we refocused that money. We could solve the healthcare equation, provide college education for free to everyone, pay service industry workers twice what they make now, and still have lots left over. This is not a radical idea.
Others have done this; Switzerland may be the best example. They have never had a standing army. They are also the longest lived representative government.

Seriously, the "90% of all hardware-related problems come from loose connectors" bit is found nowhere in the article or on google for that matter...
Infinite loop.

Just saying...
Selling snake oil just got profitable again. People like you rock.
Um, yeah, I'll get on that. How about we split the efforts, you fix email, and I'll take care of DNS?
So, we need to replace all the DNS servers too? what about third and forth owners?

I challenge you to back that number up with a reputable source.

Sorry man, I think most of us are laughing at your own mischaracterizations, stereotyping, and general anger at all who you don't align yourself with.
This may just piss you off more, but there actually are valid points you may find "out there".
In fact, that's how science works. Quacks, the lot of em.
See ya later, I'm off to go hug a tree.
I'd take a look at this list and reassess.
One interesting note is that TW broadband would disappear, as well as AOL, mapquest, nullsoft, and netscape. The internet would certainly notice.
But let's look at entertainment...
HBO, Warner Bros, and The Atlanta Braves.
Last I checked, google makes all their money in one place. They are good at it, but they are not Time Warner in any way.
You won't find many better guides to layer one than Cabling: The Complete Guide to Network Wiring.
While the other parts of the equation are very important, you need to start with a firm foundation, and if you're doing your own wiring, this is the place to start.
Please, drop that idea like it's a hot potato.
Really.
It's the 21st century, pretend for a second that you can behave like a member of it and not whatever hollow you "learned" that attitude about others from.

Whatever you do, you need a cupstacker biz card before you die.
Also, piloting those forklifts at Home Depot that make that nice beeping sound gets you bonus points.
"Assumming that Google has enough cash"
Yes. And assuming that debt == cash on hand is foolish.
Sorry.

Now, go have a beer.
