  8. once we on O3B Details Plan for Satellite-Based Bandwidth For Africa · · Score: 1, Insightful

    tackle famine, disease, drought, poverty, ethnic extermination, and tribal infighting...then we can worry about getting the latest nigerian scams to my inbox faster.

    if anyones wondering "why satellite" its simple. vast stretches of africa have no electrical infrastructure...let alone water. i have a feeling this entrepreneur just wants to see his name listed next to "brought teh interwebs to afrika furst!!" in the history books.

  9. its a long running issue on State of Kentucky Seizes Control of 141 Domain Names · · Score: 1

    im from the state of kentucky, and this all stems from the governors magificent plan to bail us out of debt through the creation of 12 casinos across the state. horse-farms obviously object to the idea, while poor people shake their heads and wonder who is going to seriously say "kentucky" instead of "vegas" next holiday season.

    not to mention, we're all bankrupt and homeless from the declining market.
