Comment Re:Very good fiber in Minneapolis (Score 1) 155

If by large part you mean Uptown, then yes. USI said they will only roll out fiber to neighborhoods where their wireless network is saturated. That is unlikely to happen anywhere else. If USI isn't available where you are, it won't be. I'd like that not to be the case so if I'm wrong about this, I'd enjoy hearing it. CenturyLink on the other hand, is rolling out fiber in other parts of the city, which is what I have now.

Who is surprised by this revelation? From initial denial to any traffic shaping, to stacking the hearing with payed shills, Comcast has proven they are willing to do whatever it takes to oversell their service and then bottleneck it to keep from having to make infrastructure upgrades. I wouldn't be shocked if they rubbed the blood of sacrificed newborn children onto their fiber if it would save them a buck or two. Go Comcast!

Is Computer Science Still Worth It? 434

From the article: 'To ensure job security, students must learn business, communication and interpersonal skills, Vardi recommended. The personal touch will become as important as technological expertise, he said. "There are jobs galore," agreed Suzanne Bigas, assistant director of the Stanford Computer Forum.'"
