    Yeah Harvard had a real problem charging higher tuition back in the '60s....

    He douche bag, the government guarantees the student loan, and the government goes after the the person until the loan is paid back. There is no reason for high interest.

    Can't get credit? Surely you jest. The author addressed that in his article. Anybody can get credit. You just might not like the interest rate.

    And you might want to reread his post. Are you aware of the State of Tennessee stopping the rollout of municipal broadband. http://arstechnica.com/tech-po... That's to his point. The people of Chattanooga want it but the state representatives are putting a stop to it because they carry water for the telecoms.

  7. Re:Google Fiber on Why Americans Loathe Cable Companies · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You really don't get it do you. If Google fiber comes to an end - then that means less competition. That's the point. If Comcast or AT&T come in and take over Google's infrastructure that does not create competition. You assume a new player will emerge. Why? They don't exists today. What makes you think that someone will come out just because Google gave up? Think Potsy think.

    *sigh* "While only available on mobile via Apple products at launch, the company says it will announce plans to expand to other platforms and providers soon. That also mirrors the path that HBO took with its streaming service – it first arrived on Apple devices, but then quickly rolled out over-the-top options via streaming service Sling TV, through cable providers like Cablevision, and most recently on the Android platform."

    Lot of "ifs" in that statement of yours. But your fundamental assumption is flawed, it is not easy to read code period. It's easy if you developed it and it's easy if you routinely code in that language but when you are not the developer and you don't routinely use that language, then it becomes difficult. Not too mention programmers suck at documenting their code. The point of high level languages is that they would be readable like the english language. Java is pretty close to that.

    "WMD did exist, and were found."

    WTF are you talking about. There were no WMDs found in Iraq. Period. Rumsfeld kept saying he knew where they were but they could not turn them up. There were as no nuclear program. Period. Iraq did not attempt to buy yellow cake uranium. The tubes that Rice claimed would be used to enrich uranium would not have worked. Period. We invaded Iraq because Bush junior wanted to not because the U.S. was under attack by Iraq. Fuck Off you moron.

    Apples and Oranges. You assume that the Navy does not have trained IT personnel. I believe that was the point. If the Navy can't do it, because they employ the trained personnel to do it, then you should take notice.

    FYI you argument is inane, because you do not know the great majority of scientists. Thus your judgement is meaningless.

    They're called cities jackass. Nice word play, political sub-divisions. Cities existed before states were created and yes States are not sovereign entities that can work outside the Federal government. We fought a fucking war to prove that point!
