Do you have sources? (Non sarcastic) I'd be very interested in seeing data on your burying paper vs recycling it to trap carbon underground.

Fixed that for you.

Who exactly would fund these competitors? Laying all that fiber or cable isn't cheap. The telco's and cable companies were given these monopolies in the first place as incentive to put up such a huge expense that they were not willing to do based on market factors alone.

Taking away the monopolies would in theory allow for completion, but would not address the expense of laying new cable or fiber, which is a huge hurdle.

I couldn't disagree more. I met my now exwife pretending to be something I wasn't. Obviously it didn't work out too well. I resolved that I would never be ashamed of labeling myself a Geek again. Yes I play MMORPG's. I am part of a shadowrun game every Thursday, I have 3 computers and a networked sun server. I get more excited by the latest cell phone then any teen girl every has over the newest boy band. Now that I have accepted being a geek I think my confidence in my choice has led me to do things I never would have when I was too shy and thought "geek" was a bad thing. I met my girlfriend online in Everquest 2, and it is now the best relationship of my life!

Maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance, but the first 45min of the movie were downright awful. Even low end camcorders have some kind of picture stability on them! My head still hurts from the shaking camera! The camera even shook in what should have been standing still shots!!! The acting left much to be desired, and (at least the opening) story was crap. I did stay long enough to see the monster, and this may be the only redeeming quality of the movie. The special effects were good for their budget. Overall though, it was a case of over hype, and major let down.
