The notice wasn't directed at you so much as at the conversation, you just happened to be the bottom on the line. My apologies for the confusion.

A bit off topic, but I find it interesting that you seem to think the commenter named "girlintrainging" is automatically a guy, when I see very little evidence of it.

Probably because I was being an ass with my comment by making light of the fact that the name of it means absolutely nothing in reality.

Well they were going to go with "Bigger than average storm for this area, but not quite a hurricane," but then marketing got a hold of it.

I'm just glad that we're utilizing the new standardized "storminess" metric to track global warming.

I've heard this before. In this scenario, which is quite different than a residential street, you're dead. You're in an enclosed area. you can't exactly escape and bring your weapon to bear.

At least in a residential street you can attempt to find cover.

The problem I have with the CCW mentality is in the ones who seem to think their weapon magically will spring to their hand and bear down accurately on their target in less the second someone who's already drawn takes to pull the trigger. CCW means that you're weapon is concealed, which by definition means it won't be the easiest thing to get to . This is going to add precious seconds to that draw.

If I did, would you go on every post and ask me if I did it? You said "This is Sony" and then based a comment on that fact. I was merely correcting a informational inconsistence to allow you to better consolidate your argument in a more refined and knowledgeable manner. My apologies, I didn't realize you prefer to represent invalid logic in your arguments.

Actually no, Glass interacts with your phone to pull data. It's not a data device in and of itself.

Like say, where I left my keys.....

First, it's not Sony, it's a subsidiary of Sony. Second, it's not Japan. It's in a small section of Japan. Third, It's asymmetrical service. It's only twice the download speed. The upload speed is the same. The fact they they are comparing this to Google Fiber is ludicrous. There's no plan here to expand this to a dominant market share.

Apparently someone doesn't teach Computer or Social Sciences.

Yes, some people do. No, this uneducated, ill conceived rant does not belong here, you idiotic, flamebaiting troll.

Well there was certainly a whoosh, but I think it was primarily on your part.

I don't understand a word of what you just wrote. Kansas City is getting Fiber. If you meant places LIKE KC, then I think the problem is trying to identify what makes a good location. It has to be a place where the effect will be seen, but with enough capital available to actually get it installed. It was rough here in KC getting people to understand why they even wanted it, much less that its a good thing and Google's not trying to just take your money. Then there's the idiots who decried if because 1Gb/s is stupid since only KC will have it. The biggest problem faced in KC is the lack of understanding of basic electronics and infrastructure. I think Austin is a good choice. There's a better technological grasp while still being a city that such a project will be widely noticed.

That's a BS post. I'm in the heart of the KC roll out and Google has lowered the bar at least once on neighborhoods getting in. They base interest by the percentage of the population of the fiberhood that enrolls for the $10 deposit. This is true "vote with your dollar" work here. It's really about how much the community is willing to go out and spread the word and get their neighbors on board.
