Comments on: Google AVL – A Business Perspective http://scrutinyhooligans.us/2010/03/09/google-avl-a-business-perspective/ If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen. — Samuel Adams Fri, 10 Feb 2012 17:18:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Matt http://scrutinyhooligans.us/2010/03/09/google-avl-a-business-perspective/comment-page-1/#comment-40298 Matt Mon, 15 Mar 2010 12:28:00 +0000 http://scrutinyhooligans.us/?p=12099#comment-40298 Bugg- Not sure exactly what you posted-only saw the response. Linking adult material to a child friendly site is offensive & wrong (yes, a number of the children on that page are over 18). I’d say the same to the tea partiers who post/display offensive material. Let’s raise the level of the discussion. Bugg- Not sure exactly what you posted-only saw the response.

A link suggests that you can click it and it'll take you to the sight. I merely typed in part of the address. (For those who are unaware, I reminded everyone that if they were mad about Obama and Congress that they should go to Lemonparty.org) (no really, don't go there. I did it because those hillbillies are absolute idiots) It wasn’t a porn link. A link suggests that you can click it and it’ll take you to the sight. I merely typed in part of the address.

Good thing, too, because unbeknownst to most of us, that $5.5 million federal grant would have required the City to pony up over a million dollars. Good luck with that... Gordon - word to the wise: ask for hard assurances that grant monies for community projects like cloud computing won't simply go into MAIN's general operating fund (which, when I last saw the books, was headed into the red).

With a population of 70,000 in the city and well over 300,000 in the county, and well over two million visitors a year, we are an ideal place to test a fiber optic network. Small area= less $$$ to build out, concentrated population, constantly changing population due to visitors, people of various talents are drawn here, highly sophisticated and well traveled visitors exposes Google's fiber to a superior demographic, finally; very high quality of life.

I think they just got stimulus money to do that. Are these complimentary, or competing efforts?
