I was a strong proponent early 2000 when I was working with Telstra. If we invested more strongly in mobile infrastructure (faster rollout of fiber specifically for towers, more towers, country etc) instead of the nbn boondoggle, then we wouldn't need fiber to the prem. The closer that tower gets to me, the better my latency with the tower. Most peoples homes are wifi internal anyways. The best download I have had on 5G so far is 550MB/s. I have had that on Telstra for almost 2yrs now. And I can only get Sky Muster where I live... So yeah, very superior.

You're not racist, are ya? It's just regional settings on my dictionary. The word is correct any way you take it and probably more so with z's. It blew me away to first hear a Paleontologist say Dip loh di cuss, instead of the common way her in Perth of Dipple oh doh cuss.

We were sold on an idea, which was Fiber To The PREMISE! We got a complete bastardization of the network and copper still left in the last mile in MANY premises providing wonderful hybrid. But even they were the lucky ones compared to the hack n fix sky muster. NBN is a joke, should have strongly invested in mobile network towers, which are far superior.

Why everyone keeps swinging copyrighted content when there is a fantastic "more open" community of super cheap sites of original content to pay for and use. Piss iff this big POP crap and help the little "people" out. That said it can easily be said that streams can be done with audio tracks in mind and twitch can just remove THAT layer/channel when struck and that would be that, or they could replace it with inhouse content. So many options...

I did not say listen to me, I merely pointed out reasons it is BS. The guy is a geriatric crackpot as others have been pointing out all over here. I do not care what "awards" he has tbh. I could go on for days about all of mine, but you wouldn't care anyways. Just arrogance really.

we'd have done a good job in relegating these nutjobs to their status of 20 years ago: a curious niche to be mocked.

Today this is like the pot calling the kettle something or rather... Minority groups have become the dominating force in everyday life today all thanks to the internet and especially EFFBook. As you so politely stated, like your mum, people are weak. This is why EFFBook is so popular. Not because there are no other mediums to stay in touch with someone, such a poor excuse I hear all too often. EFFing stalkers, data miners and politicians handing out lollipops.

And then what? the fabric of spacetime of the previous universe just stops existing? At which point what medium would Hawking Radiation propagate through? this model does not account for the "faster than light" expansion (inflation) of space in our universe. Too many stupid things said here, not his crazy theory anyway, others have come up with better theories than this.
