This has a lot to do with all the power POLES being made out of concrete... having the lines made out of concrete would certainly pose a whole new slew of interesting issues.
One of the reasons why beautiful Japan looks so damn UGLY is because of all the bloody power lines EVERYWHERE. This has a lot to do with all the power lines being made out of concrete and the concrete lobby being exceedingly powerful (right next to the RICE lobby). So, yeah, in a country with a hell of a lot of earth quakes (just had one three hours ago), you would think that having all this above ground power would cause problems... and it does... But do they change? No... oh Japan...
I agree with you 110%. He is a moron. He knows audio stuff...barely. MSNBC should replace him with a cyborg chimp. That would be far more amusing as well as informative. I am also an English teacher and he makes me want throw a huge MLA guide at him. What a naughty boy indeed.
Has anyone seen his video interviews on MSNBC? His really doesn't know what he is doing. He constantly mixes up terminology (i.e. megabyte and gigabyte, etc... pathetic, et al.) and writes things that don't always make logical sense. No one should quote this guy or use him as any kind of defacto judge for proper computer knowledge. It is very sad indeed that he is even quoted on Slashdot... have we lowered our standards? Oh wait... don't answer that.

But since the Japanese have no "V" sound it was really "conboy"... oh Japan.
