  1. Search Neutrality: Never an issue if.... on The Need For Search Neutrality · · Score: 1

    We hadn't made getting here as easy as pushing an on/off switch.

    Yet one more reason to buy gold, guns & ammo.

    The fact that you are sooo correct about this is yet another reason to buy gold, guns & ammo. It won't be long now. -- sazy

  4. Perhaps reconsider an engineering career.... on Fun Things To Do With a Math Or Science Degree? · · Score: 1

    Unless I miss my guess, she's probably drawn to glamour and popularity and fame. I think I'd paint a bright picture for her in Mechanical Engineering..., within the Auto Racing community. The teams and owners of NASCAR, F1, IRL, ALMS-Lemans and Grand-Am are constantly looking for new engineering talent. Toyota, Ford, GM, Honda, Audi, BMW, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari and Renault are just the auto makers that have teams. Most oil companies also have sponsored teams, too, McLaren engines and gearboxes, the list just goes on and on. But, the peques and bennies are the trump suit here, traveling the world to such locations as Brazil, Spain, Germany, Australia and China, just to mention a few, would be part of her job. Dining with, chatting to and generally associating with the likes of Michael Schumacher, Danica Patrick, Fernando Alonso, Felipe Massa.., all part of the job. Yeah, I think that would be something she could make a living at and more then enjoy herself in the process. I wish her luck no matter what road she takes.

  5. Re:15Mbps Only??? on The Fiber to the Premises Install Process · · Score: 1

    The point is "the last mile" is optical. Infinite bandwidth scale, electrically immune, proven reliability.,. Verizon is currently serving FTTP FiOS customer communities with OC12 & OC3 facilities however, Verizon is also developing new packages. 100MB/s(ETH) will be offered soon as will video(IPTV) services - some areas have this service now, all on the single optical strand., not to mention the 4 voice(VoIP) ckts. OC12 muxes become OC48's and 3's become 12's, hash Juniper.cfg and., voila! The point is, the ultimate network connection., I'm w/glass.

    FTTP is a new "lighted" network, a totally glass passive optical network(PON), with backbones and hubs and splitters and terminals and drops and, of course, ONT's. This is new technology, plant and hardware are changing hourly. What your neighbor has today may not be what is installed at your house tomorrow. So, services are going to evolve.

    Oh my heavens! How can that be so? Those honorable men and women who represent us in congress say the economy is just fine, so fine in fact, they decided not to renew the fed's portion of unemployment benefits. You must have heard your friend incorrectly, I'm sure.-sticking tongue firmly in cheek-
