Epic fail, routing protocols on 170+ POP routers all at the same time? Again, epic fail on design and implementation.

Herp Derp there much?

News flash: they already do.

Simple solution. cop disabled camera? instantly fired and blackballed from ever being a cop again. Maybe he can be a mall cop.

They can sell the M16's and assault vehicles they dont need to fund the cameras.

They already have this, cop cars already have cameras so expansion to hold compressed H323 video is not hard.

I want tazers connected to the cameras and citizens live monitoring.. if over 100 people monitoring think the officer is out of control they can taze him remotely.

Officer Johnson you need to cool down, you have 5 seconds to comply......

then you explain how a single point failure will take out service across the country. There is no way in hell that can happen if the network was designed properly.

here is the kicker, anyone with an IQ over 100 and not lazy can make their own wind generators. In fact if you are not completely inept you can easily generate all the electricity you need with low cost parts that are available. All of the knowlege you need is right in front of you, you just have to take the time to search for it and read it.

Drilling for oil, then refining it yourself with todays available devices and parts is significantly harder than a solar,wind and battery installation.

" can you please tell me how we are going to deal with all of those people displaced by this natural phenomenon?"

That is all a part of his trickle down economics on how the wealthy's cast off cash will flow down to solve that problem, we just need to give the wealthy a LOT more money.

Tree Farts? can we PLEASE start that one so we can at least get some laughter out of it.

I want to know what the Witch Doctors of New Orleans think about it. We all know that that is the real authority on what is happening in the world.

The fact they have ONE backbone connection is an utter and epic failure. Who designed their network because that person needs to be fired.
Each major section or city needs it's own backbone connection. At least that is how we did it back in the old @home days, one failure can not bring down all services across the nation. Some cities had multiple backbones going into the area's OTN.

Of course they will, while comcast is telling them this, they are stuffing wads of money in the senators pockets. The longer they talk the more money goes into their pockets... Senators need to keep warm during the upcoming winter....

Where were the population centers? How many farmers lived in NYC?

30% were farmers so 70% were not farmers. Thus the Bulk of workers were NOT farmers.
