It gets dumber:



Apparently we're just too sexist to recognize it as sarcasm.

Actually, I believe it only counts as sarcasm if it makes a point, since Brianna's posts evidently don't (or rather the point is known only to Brianna), they're just untrue nonsense.

The sarcasm doesn't even make any sense! Is she saying it's a good thing there are female Ghostbusters? Or a bad thing? Is she lampooning it? Is her target people who like the idea of female Ghostbusters, or oppose it?

Sarcasm: YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!

That's weird. I see it just fine. It says "Mr Bones Says: The Ride Never Ends."

Coming up fine for me, too.  (And I know there's SOMETHING wrong with my FireFox, since I can't get the audio player to come up for the podcast.)

I'm reminded of an onion video where they simply changed the definition of obese to be much fatter and it was considered doing something about the obesity problem...

It will mostly impact how ISP's can market their products to consumers. Especially DSL carriers, although most cable providers I'm aware of wouldn't meet the new standard either. Basically, this will make it so if you don't have FiOS, or something similar, you can't call it broadband.

This is an area where I believe we'd be better off if companies in the related industries got together and agreed "This is what these terms mean", than have a gov't agency tell the industry what the terms mean. If I was defining it "broadband" would mean a system capable of delivering withing the top 20% of possible speeds at that time, mid-band would be 21%-50, low would be 50-20, and budget would be below 19.

I also think they're a little high on the number of people that get broadband at the new level.

Mm-kay, I didn't see anything in that article -other than the title- that suggested anything libertarian...
