    Nostradamus predicts that the following will comprise approx. 1/3 of the comments posted on this topic:

    Oh Ya, and Nostradamus also predicts turmoil in the middle east. ;-)

  4. Re:Population density?? on Worldwide State of Broadband - S Korea, Japan Lead · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yes but Canada also has a border with the United States that is 8 893 km long.

    That means that the area within 100 miles of the border is

    8,893 km = 5 526 miles (converting to evil imperialistic units)
    5 526 miles x 100 miles = 552 600 square miles of area.


    Lets see you wire broadband in all that ;-)

    P.S. I live approx. 600 miles from the U.S. border. And i have broadband at 1.5Mbs for only 35$ Cdn (approx. 25$ U.S.) per month.

  17. In 5 Easy Steps: on MIT Robot Walks On Water · · Score: 3, Funny

    HALtheComputer's 5 step alchemy course for the twenty-first century

    Step 1. Take a beaker full of wine.
    Step 2. When no one is looking dump the beaker out and refill it with wine. (to obtain this "no one looking" state I suggest an elaborate ruse: something along the lines of, "Look, whats that over there?")
    Step 3. Incorporate
    Step 4. Go Public
    Step 5. PROFIT !!!

    P.S. If you plan on submitting this plan to a venture capitalist you could at least spell check it first. I'm far too busy to concern myself with mundane things like spelling.
