That's completely not true. Comcast is working hard on improving transmission speeds over their slow speed lanes. They're going to have facilities on the peaks of mountain ranges that transmit the information via semaphore flags.

That's already happened at a public library.

As of Nov. 2014, yes.

I can't fill out the form because my Comcast connection is loading fcc.gov at 300 baud.

Actually I think scientists have an insight into theology that actual theologians lack. Religious and tribal instincts were shaped by evolution, since they conferred a selective advantage to early humans. Back in the Stone Age, if someone shared your religion, you'd probably have more genes in common with them than with people of other faiths, and you're more likely to befriend and ally with them. But, it's a one way street. Aside from being research subjects, theologians have nothing to offer in return except for denial.

Hah! Tell that to this lady.

A what?

Since I'm not a teacher, I'd actually be interested if you have an actual story to tell. But AFAICT from your post, you're just someone who loathes his ex-coworkers and is making generalizations about them. If the "real issue" is "lazy teachers", you can at least explain why. Were they not showing up for work? Were they disregarding parental fears of vaccinations? Were they not teaching them about Christ or something? Did the kids get low test scores? What?

Then why are you keeping it a secret?

Do you have any basis for that assertion, other than your resume?

I had one of those LED light bulbs and it stopped working one day. Since I'm 44, I was able to fix it with a soldering iron.

Whew, I heard gunfire last night and at first thought some thug physicist was firing neutrinos down the street. "What if one strikes a nucleus and releases a positron?" I wondered. That's weak!

Time zones aren't even the major issue. I had a job where I had to be on site during the AM hours and telecommute during the PM hours (long story). It was MUCH more difficult to get anything done at home. When you can't shout minor little questions out to anyone who might be in earshot, you have to communicate them electronically, which is more awkward and time-consuming, so you naturally try to figure stuff out for yourself first before bothering people that way. Some of the ordinary snags and obstacles you encounter during a workday will then balloon into frustrating barriers that trick you into wasting hours going down blind alleys without realizing it. It made me realize how much information you get just from overhearing casual chats around coffee machines.

What makes you so sure the guy is from Israel?

I've lived all over the U.S.A. for decades, near plenty of stupid people, and I have never heard anyone use the phrase "on accident" in my life. That's the type of error you see in technical manuals from Asian countries. People do say "on purpose", which can easily confuse people who learn English as a second language into saying "on accident" instead of "by accident".

To spot Americans with two-digit IQs on the Internet, look for two unforgivable homonym goofs: confusion between "they're", "their", and "there", and also between "you're" and "your". Those are big warnings that you're reading something stupid written by a native-English speaker. Foreigners don't seem especially prone to goof over these words, but half-illiterate native English speakers just type the way they hear themselves talk, and if it passes the spell check they'll remain oblivious.
