Utopia Talk / Politics / Were 18TH!!!!(us)

habebe Member	Thu Apr 01 20:26:17 Which is actually up from 19th previously. Still it is absurd.This is the US rank amongst the fastest internet connections. http://edi....south.korea/index.html?hpt=P1 Our two main fixable problems are that we have a douopoly, and we do not have open access lines. The geography issue does have it's draw backs, we will probably never be number one because of our rural areas. France is more free market than the US in regards to internet access.

habebe Member	Thu Apr 01 20:37:41 Extremly. In all reality though it is slowing down progress in many areas.Because of bandwith constraints and high cost. " In the commercial world, applications like Telepresence (which lets remote participants feel they are all in the same room together) demand rates of 24 megabits a second. Remote surgery needs more than 10 megabits a second. The same goes for video instant messaging. A whole host of applications in education, government, health care, public safety and energy management become possible once bandwidth is no longer a constraint." http://www...laystory.cfm?story_id=15841658 The economist article is actually much better, but longer.
Freddy Member	Thu Apr 01 20:38:21 I think an entire site rip of YouPorn in less than 1 minute would suffice.
habebe Member	Thu Apr 01 20:43:54 That sounds about right. I stumbled onto www.xxxbunker.com the other day, pretty good.
Freddy Member	Thu Apr 01 20:46:09 You want good, check this: http://www.18qt.com/niches/teen1.shtml

Freddy Member	Thu Apr 01 20:53:51 Kill youself, cunt.
Hrothgar Member	Thu Apr 01 22:53:48 Basically, according to the article, this boils down to: The rest of the 1st world had leader's who put some amount of focus on Internet infrastructure. The USA had Bush.
habebe Member	Thu Apr 01 22:56:29 You do realize that Obama is not really helping but making the situation worse.
habebe Member	Thu Apr 01 22:57:05 I have much more faith in Google than our federal Government.
charper Member	Thu Apr 01 23:23:57 "You do realize that Obama is not really helping but making the situation worse. " "The question is timely, as the U.S. government pushes forward with a "broadband plan" that aims to speed up connections, reduce costs and increase access to the Internet, especially in rural areas." "Basically, according to the article, this boils down to: The rest of the 1st world had leader's who put some amount of focus on Internet infrastructure. " Correct.
charper Member	Thu Apr 01 23:24:43 * "Basically, according to the article, this boils down to: The rest of the 1st world had leader's who put some amount of focus on Internet infrastructure. The USA had Bush. " Correct.
Madc0w Member	Thu Apr 01 23:33:00 Well for one thing, Bush did not realize the Internet was indeed called the Internet and referred to it as "the Internets", so obviously he knew very little about it. And why would Bush waste money on something Al Gore invented?
habebe Member	Thu Apr 01 23:37:58 http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/21/opinion/21Benkler.html It explains how this new push for BB is really just solidifying the current duopoly.
charper Member	Thu Apr 01 23:39:39 Before I even click it, let me point out that as an opinion piece it does not "explain" that, it puts forward that opinion or theory.
habebe Member	Thu Apr 01 23:42:26 The opinion of Yochai Benklar...Some one who is rather respected for his knowledge on the topic of networks. But yes, congrats you know the difference between fact and opinion...I hope.
garyd Member	Thu Apr 01 23:45:37 Nope he believes all his opinions are facts and that everyone elses facts are merely opinions.
charper Member	Thu Apr 01 23:46:02 You really are a dumbass. Your little trick of peering into your Murdoch owned WSJ crystal ball and predicting our doomsday future from opinion pieces got old fast.
charper Member	Thu Apr 01 23:47:35 Look at the two morons complaining because their article headed under opinion piece isnt accepted as a technical explanation of the irreversible future. dumbasses lol
habebe Member	Thu Apr 01 23:48:34 charpy, So now you are saying that Europe is failing in this regard and the US is doing the right thing?
habebe Member	Thu Apr 01 23:49:07 You obviously either didn't read it or couldn't comprehend it.
charper Member	Thu Apr 01 23:50:12 "So now you are saying that Europe..." Too stupid to read further.
habebe Member	Thu Apr 01 23:51:08 " Too stupid to read further." At least you admit your own faults.
garyd Member	Thu Apr 01 23:51:24 Probably the latter. AS usuall Obama gives us more of the same and Charper dumbass that he is thinks its change.
charper Member	Thu Apr 01 23:53:55 ^ ts;dr
garyd Member	Fri Apr 02 00:08:45 ^td
Nimtzo New Member	Fri Apr 02 18:46:03 The sea shepard people have come to terms with reality that Japanese whalers dont care about protests and they regularly block bans and regulations and seem hell bent on destroying commecial marine life. So they intend to make their fishing trips as costly and hard as possible. It is working.
