It's good to know  there is still somebody out there who can put together a Dream Machine.

I've been using it for two and a half years.  It is an incredible time saver for those who live in a large metropolitan area and travel to different locations everyday by motor vehicle.  The simple road map lets you make decisions quickly by displaying traffic conditions with green, yellow, or red striping on both sides of the highway.  This allows you to see instantly the least and most congested routes to your destination.  It works in real-time, of course, and it includes details of bottlenecks (accidents, construction etc).  I will miss it when it's gone and i hope I can find a suitable substitute. I will also be angry that I will probably have to purchase a new GPS, as well.

I think the above news post should be entirely focused on the fact that a city (town?) of about fifteen thousand people HAS TWO FRIGGIN' FIBER OPTIC NETWORKS!!!!!!!!, while most of America doesn't even have one!!!!!  That's the real story here.

The city of Monticello briefly halted plans, but only because they wished to wait for the outcome of the bond sale, not because of the lawsuit. They were working on their fiber optic system, of which the backbone was completed in October of 2008, entirely unhindered by the lawsuit.  Now the city has two competeing fiber optic systems in place. I got my information from Monticello's own website here:  http://www.fibernetmonticello.com/aboutus.cfm which includes a .pdf link that explains how FibernetMonticello came into being here: http://www.fibernetmonticello.com/PDF/HISTORY%20OF%20FIBERNET%20MONTICELLO.pdf.

So the fishy smell was coming from whomever didn't do their research.  It could get even stinkier if the article was written in bad faith. Conspiracy theorists, I await your responses.

If the city of Monticello was in the right, why didn't they push ahead with their fiber optic system despite the on going court battle? And if they really were legally prevented from building a system, why didn't they counter-sue to prevent TDS from building their own network until this thing was finally settled in court? Something smells fishy in Monticello.

We can play the demo, when?

At first I couldn't hear you above your all-caps response, but when noise of your petulant screaming subsided I realized I was dealing with someone who takes himself way too seriously.  Someday you'll learn how to appreciate a good-natured ribbing and play along. Until then I suggest you put down the gun and go home, before you hurt someone.

I have been waiting for months for someone to review  FUSiON-iOs   ioXtreme 80GB PCI-e RAM drive.  I guess Fusion-io has delayed releasing the drive because they have been waiting for chipset support?  I have read that these drives weren't bootable, but with Intel supporting it, that may no longer be the case.
