I believe I've figured out Google's reasoning. First of all, there is someone in the upper part of Google who knows Kansas, and I'm sure, KCK. They want to prove what Gb speed will do for an area. If it's affordable, it's a major attraction. KCK was chosen as a proving ground because of it's *lack* of attractiveness.
I'm from Chicago and I now live in KCK. Gary IN has much more industry than KCK. What you see in KCK are has-been or empty factories. Now, that I think about it, yes, there are 3 reasonably active manufacturing facilities that I know of. What I'm saying is that KCK is blighted...This is depressing. I'm going to another article.
I live in Kansas City, Kansas, and I'm confused. There is something suspiciously unsaid here. KCK (as it is locally called) is a terrible place. The main streets are walled up by one vacant store after another. The local government is highly corrupt, is only concerned with making money for its participants, and people don't argue these points. The murder rate is near the top for the nation, and nobody cares. The police perjure themselves any time they want. The residential areas have numerous "unfit" stickers on homes of families who couldn't pay their utilities. Most of the town isn't served by buses from Saturday to Monday. The most popular place is the food kitchen (where free meals are served), and the most used building is the jail-courthouse. The "public access points" referred to must be the libraries. These are ran by police-state-wannabes, who censor far more than Google would. I have not exaggerated once here.
Yes, there is a commercial development in the far west that is doing well. I can explain that, but it is beyond the scope of comment. And yes, many newly arrived Mexicans consider the town a step up.
Google people are the last I'd expect here. Maybe this is some kind of charity venture or social experiment. I can't figure it out.
Once, Bill Gates, the Pope, and the Anti-Vaccine Man was on a plane together. As things always goes in jokes, while in-flight the pilot died of heart attack, while at the same time the engines caught on fire.
This lead to the three men having to jump out of the plane, and of course there are only two parachutes. Bill Gates declares that as the smartest man Earth, he must be saved, grabs one of the parachutes, and jumps. The Pope looks at the Anti-Vaccine Man, and says "here, young man, take mine. You still have years in front of you" to which the Anti-Vaccine Man replies "No, it is a known fact that those contraptions can fail at times, so it is better to jump without one" and jumped out of the plane. The Pope shakes his head, jump with the remaining parachute, and after landing safely holds a speech declaring that while God is good, even He can not help retards.
The End.
That doesn't sound like something Bill would do. He wouldn't bother justifying his move to those idiots.
Bill Gates is absolutely correct. I applaud him for the public statement. I was hoping somebody influential would say something about this Wakefield kook/crook.
(All the same, I'll keep using my questionable copy of Office.)
A "civil monetary award" is not meaningless. I can't say I know much about the Facebook case at hand, but I once incurred a judgement against myself for a petty traffic accident. I was dealing with a much more serious case (a Missouri DFS case in which Missouri took out baby at birth because my wife was taking the legal medication methadone), and in order to concentrate my attention, I decided to ignore the stupid (totally unjust, BTW) traffic civil case. The scammers managed to get a 6.5K$ judgement, and then I lost my drivers license because of it. I didn't know that was possible. Eventually, over the years, I spent several days in jail and thousands $ because of the case. It's now eleven years passed and I'm still suffering seriously from it.
My point is that a civil judgement is NOT nothing.

As I understand, there are 1,000s of pages of documents involved in the current Wikileaks releases. I don't have time to review these, so I'd like to see a summary of the interesting (more than "symbolic") material. Can somebody direct me?
And what are "cables" anyway? Are they like email messages?
Also, considering the timing of the unrelated legal assaults against Assange, I assume they are contrived. But as a more appropriate retaliation, couldn't the US gov just publish all the damning material they have on him?
I'm afraid this thread is an example of how sensational wording by the submitter caused useless commentary. If the original post could have been more accurate and omitted the word "space", the discussion would have been approving and inquiring. As it is, we're dealing in semantics, and we'rt indirectly critical of the boastfulness.
Yes, insomnia and having atypical schedule are different. The OP equates the two. But I'd like to discuss the prejudice there is against people who get up late. For some reason generally people believe someone who gets up at noon is lazy. And someone who gets up at 3:00 pm is a misfit. Actually, civilization wouldn't function without people getting up at those times.
From the article by PETER WAYNER: "Most of the cute, small tchotchkes in my house that fit on the turntable of the NextEngine scanner I tested are copyrighted. Zapping up a new version might run afoul of the same laws being used to fight the piracy of songs....
I tried to avoid that issue by creating my own objects from a set of Legos."
Peter must be afraid of going out after 8:00 pm. Like many other people, he doesn't understand how copyright law works. Anybody could be prosecuted, but if you're not prosecuted, it doesn't matter.
Wal-Mart did not honor FEMA checks if the checks were over $1,000. And I'm not at all clear that Wal-Mart did more than FEMA. FEMA gave out a lot of money. I'm sure a lot of it just went to government people rather than victims, but what makes you claim Wal-Mart made such a large contribution? A statement like that needs backing up.
Some countries are more liberal than others toward narcotic use. The War on (the people who use) Drugs isn't so severe in Europe. If you expect pain, maybe move there.
Receiving radio waves and receiving/transmitting radio waves come down to about same level of easiness. The nature of a broadcast radio station is one-way, but the nature of wi-fi is two. Naturally, if you are connected to the internet, It's assumed you'll transmit data, if nothing more than requests for pages. What he was doing is clearly analogous to listening to a broadcast radio station. The onus of keeping such a network private rests with the provider. http://freesusan.com/
The software company is just going to have to make their software harder to crack. Research on anything can yield an opportunity to do something that's in violation of somebody's idea of a copyright violation. Google is just giving search results. Google doesn't promote any of them except the sponsored ones you see on top.
A saliva test for testosterone level doesn't cost "$2,000-a-pop".
From the article: "The men's testosterone tests were around a couple thousand dollars", Psychology Assistant Professor James Roney said. That means all the pops totaled $2K.
If you hear "child" or "children" in something legal, 99 out of a 100, it's a scam. People are afraid to stand against somebody who uses these words. They fear they will be looked upon as anti-child. The scam artists take advantage of this fear.

Wikipedia looks authoritative and formal, but actually it's anarchy. Have you ever tired to correct something in Wikipedia? It's not worth the effort if you value your time. Someone else may come along and edit you away so that they can further their own ideas. The system doesn't work for solid information. You have to have reliable editors.
If you want to write on a subject, you're better off creating your own page on your own site. It's sad.
Me too. I started but then abandoned the project a few months ago. I need to re-start now. At least now I know where to locate the servers. If anybody wants to collaborate on this, let me know. Oh, BTW, unless someone wants to invest, we have to do this on a little shoestring.
The Chinese government is a reference? article about launch "China Daily Information Company (CDIC), partners with China Communications Corp (CCC), is set to launch...search engine."
The only thing worse would be a search engine controlled by the US government. (That wasn't a joke.)

A more relevant question: If you had to live in prison in the US or be free in Canada, which would you pick?
The US locks-up an awfully large proportion of its population.Regarding the rest of your post, pizzaman100, about the freedoms you "prefer", are you saying those freedoms exist in the US?

I went there. I agree. 3K hits/month doesn't make sense.
