I'm a systems engineer and I along with my family operated one of the first community-based fiber projects in the nation, asshat.

Wow, quite a (bullshit) charge coming from someone trying to imply that the military isn't the most wasteful organization in all of recorded history. The military is a bloated clusterfuck which overspends on every single item it purchases, in many cases more than 500%, and many more examples can be provided where…

Repeating it knowing it's false, even with an admission that it's debatable, is disparaging to those who actually deserve those distinctions.

For now...

We could still do the same on a third of the overall military budget.

First to arrive isn't even remotely correct, and number 1 humantarian organization is an appallingly inaccurate statement.

The headline was suggestive, and you know it.

I wouldn't say progressively worse...I mean, who doesn't remember having to find the perfect angle to place their PS1 in for it to read the damned discs and not scratch them?

Really? how is it dumb?

He's comparing a service to a technology, dipshit. Paint it however you want, its an invalid comparison.

What's irrelevant is the correlation between the throughput of a technology and the speed of a service. That you cannot see that makes you a fucking moron.

You're obviously assuming far too much of the people commenting.

You're literally making the most shallow and ridiculous rebuttal I have ever heard in my life.

Just look at the responses in here. This is why I corrected you.

You're seriously going to justify the comparison of the speed of a technology with the speed of a service? Seriously?

You just made yourself look like a big damn moron.

Idiot is an accurate term to describe someone who is making a massively ludicrous and inaccurate comparison.

You're also making an invalid argument because comparing the service speed of Google to the speed of the wireless technology is like arguing that one sports car is better than the other because one is used as a taxi and the taxi company has rules about never exceeding 70 mph.

I'm sorry, I missed the part where Google was the first 1 Gbps fiber ISP, or the first to offer it.

Eric, I'm going to be honest and harsh here.
