I should also point out, I could not get an answer out of the Google Fiber lady, at an IEEE meeting, what they mean by "no servers". She danced around the question. I asked her if I can continue to run my torrent server; no answer? I do know they won't assign static IPs, which is what I have now.

Google Fiber seems to be rolling along in KCMO, and is expanding out into the metro area. Short of building their own networks, the cities should cut the red tape to make fiber installation as easy as possible. The $ cost should be technical, not wasting it on legal fees. Although they need to safeguard against evil companies (i.e. Comcast and Time-Warner). Still yet unknown if Google Fiber turns evil. They will be in my area (Overland Park, KS) soon.

Bad governments removed by voting them out of office? Now THAT'S funny!

Doesn't a person break, on average, about 3 laws a day, mostly federal? Time to fill them back up! I'm sure the prison-industrial complex can lobby for that.

Hell, Maxwell's treatise on EM was released around the time of the U.S. Civil war. High school physics really only covers basic Newtonian stuff, and maybe some 18th century EM.

Religion kills and oppresses; no technology needed.

Immigrant doctor? The AMA won't allow that.

Ha ha, your post reminds me of what I arrogantly told my dad when I was nine, that math was harder for me than him, because there was more for me to learn than in the olden days.

This is slashdot; must drink 8-bit pale ale: http://www.tallgrassbeer.com/b...

I fence epee, so yes, I do want to carry a sword, probably in cane form. Fortunately in Kansas it is perfectly legal for me to do so.

It isn't today since you can get the same sort of things in China, but while China was in the Cultural Revolution, the U.S. was in the Apollo Program. The U.S. had a good 30 year lead over China in terms of technology; not any more.

IIRC in one of the crashes the driver was stoned; may have been the one in the 80's the same day that plane crashed into the bridge.

It's also an insult to the handicapped that the elevators are dysfunctional.

The cars are also filthy. I remember riding it as a kid in the 70's. It was clean and futuristic; no more.

It used to be automated, but the nixed that. It's not audio equipment. The driver today was clear and intelligible; I wanted to walk to the front and thank her.
