  1. Re:MATE or Cinnamon on One Week With GNOME 3 Classic · · Score: 1

    And now comes the grammer gnazi. Like their political counterpart the grammer gnazi is incapable of understanding anything not codified in strict stifling rules. There is no such thing as an organic and changing language based on cultural changes over time. It Must Be Fixed and It Must Be Obeyed. Nothing human shall interfere with ORDER!!! It is fortunate that their political counterparts are for the most part dead or we'd all be gassed for our linguistic transgressions.

    OMG SEND ME THAT PHONE!. With a simple LCD display and it's Just A Phucking Phone and as many weeks standby and talk time as I can get. I want it to be like my Sony Erickson which I threw at a cretin and knocked out but better. 1600ma NiMH battery. I called 911 on it after. I saw the article about that phone but lost track of it if it would work on GSM with an unlocked sim I'll smuggle it in

    In some areas that's true but I was going by Verizon and others ripping out copper and putting in fiber. I had thought the price of copper was at peak but there's still a lot of it in the ground in Africa but it's development is slowed due to copper prices.

    When not if metals go up there will be incentive to rip and replace as the price of the metal can pay for the fiber.

    It will most likely be a snowy day in hell for fiber to reach rural areas. In areas where the established utilities are NOT upgrading the local community should have the power to kick them the hell out and create their own monopoly.

    All of that wiring will be reclaimed. It's not worth as much as wiring as it is in thousands of other items. Even the copper coated steel wiring is worth more as other things. You have fiber and wireless and I don't see anything else soon.

  6. Re:must be a joke on Chicago Sun Times Swaps iPhone Training For Staff Photographers · · Score: 1

    The main stream media is a joke. When you see their product in a dispenser and you seen an empty 2" boarder on each side it's indicative of decay. When they cut the comics section down instead of inflating it with ads it's a sign of insanity. When they give us polemics instead of the news it's a tragedy. When they support authorized news organizations sanctified by the government all of us have failed and all of us will suffer.
