All the local phone companies where I live (Northern ND) have some sort of FTTH plan. I work for a contractor doing the work in people's homes after the fiber is buried, and the larger 'cities' (50 to 3000 people) all have fiber, now we're working on the tiny towns, then the farms, etc. Whatever stimulus money they're getting to do all this sure is working. I hope it works for you all in the future too (especially the gentleman in TN.)

I doubt he'll feel so smug when he's hit with a federal civil rights lawsuit and is disbarred. Hey a guy can dream can't he?

Has anyone else noticed that the abbreviation FF5 looks an awful lot like FFS?

To be fair, their website does say this,

Great Reasons to Choose Us

But, but... According to Jim Pasco, executive director of the national Fraternal Order of Police, police misconduct is "so rare it might as well not exist."

The only way to take down Amazon would be to announce super-special, super-limited deals, like an XBox or TV for 90% off, at a certain time of day. Or host a woot-off and bring up a bag of crap.

Or that he's actually the same person as Rush Limbaugh, but really both are played by the greatest actor in the world, FRED SAVAGE!

Where I work, we have boxes and boxes of left over DVI cables. All our monitors came with them, yet we use maybe 1 out of 100. I'm sure there are plenty of other places like us, willing to unload them cheap, if you look around. And these are not used, still sealed in the OEM packaging.

Similar case when I signed up for Netflix. In Firefox I was offered a 2-week free trial, while IE was 1 month.

Really sucks when a kid fails a class, then has to buy a NEW textbook to take it the second time... lol

Did you tell anyone you were naming the file realanal before publishing it? :) Probably just my perverse mind at work...

The tests were not run nationwide, they were run in select major cities. This happens to be a major sticking point if you're like me and don't live in one of the few 3G ATT or TMobile markets. I personally hate ATT, only because they're such liars. They can play Nick Drake all day, their coverage still sucks. And their commercials shouldn't say "3G not available in all areas" it should say 3G not available in MOST areas.

Someone should show them what REAL fusion looks like, by dropping an H-bomb in his lap...
