BO continues to be a massive douche.
he wont admit itChris ... thanks for proving that Obama is wasting money.
and that you can bank onFirst the only thing O man has done regarding the digital transition is delay it. That's coating me money.
2nd I'm sorry but HD with my eye sight is as useless as tits on a boar I suspect by the time The digital conversion does happen most of us won't be able to tell much difference between regular and HD TV.
3rd What planet do you live on Munin? The deficit here is going through the roof and Obama himself already promised us years of trillion dollar deficits and at the rate they're printing money it'll likely be worse than that by the time inflation gets done.

Oh yeah ... that's the smartest thing I have ever heard ... our money is so worthless that it costs $5 for a loaf of bread so what do we do ... print more. Shit, why are our politicians so stupid lately?

Glad I don't live where you do kit. Printing more money worked really well for Zimbabwe didn't it.
you can still get pepperridge farms bread for $3.59 hereit cost you $5 for a loaf of bread?Oh yeah ... that's the smartest thing I have ever heard ... our money is so worthless that it costs $5 for a loaf of bread so what do we do ... print more. Shit, why are our politicians so stupid lately?
Scary huh? I found a cheap place around the corner it's only $3, but yeah, anything that's even close to healthy (not the trendy stuff, that's almost $10 around here).

This isn't the first time that the US prints new money, we didn't change into the economic state of zimbabwe the previous time but I agree that it is not so good on the long run.
Btw, it s not only the US that is printing money: the central bank of london is doing the same and the European central bank will probably do the same soon.
So ... fads are not profitable ... odd you would not see that your statement says this.
In reality, the most profitable products are always fads, and almost always fade even after becoming standard. HDTV is a fad, once all TVs become HD by standard people will forget the difference completely and there just won't be any other types of TVs out there, the cost will fall drastically when the fad passes ... as did the iPod, CD player, DVD player ... etc.. Almost all technology is a fad at first, all common tech that is, before it becomes standard. The only difference between a fad and an advancement is need vs. want. A fad is something that you don't need but you may or may not want (I don't care about HD at all myself). The most recent transition from fad to standard is the iPhone ... now you will notice almost all phones use the same OS and technology, it's now a standard and the iPhone itself has almost faded into memory because it's common, but when it was first introduced it was just a fad, many people wanted one and they could charge whatever they wanted for it, but now they are lucky to get 200 for one.
Now, back to internet speed, what do you think our standard speed should be? Then how do you propose to get all the money to all the servers world wide so they can upload fast enough even at peak times to make use of it? How about all the privately owned servers in households (some people have then running in their closet now)? It's not an investment if the price is more than the return, so how would we see the return from all this? Most websites make no money, they are free, and sometimes sell advertising space, which then the costs go right back into the operating costs ... how is making them faster going to improve the economy?
Then there is the simple fact that people don't need the internet, they could switch it off at any moment for any reason, are you proposing that to make any profit we completely overload our sites with advertising the same way TV and cable have? Ever notice that people don't use those mediums nearly as much ... ever stop to wonder why? Ignoring the interaction component of the internet, if they did fill too much space with advertising people would likely follow the same trend, switch it off and find something less advertisement filled to do, like DVDs.
Lastly, if you think our internet access is slow in the US, prove it, seriously. I'm going to give you a chance to show we even need an upgrade ... so far I see 2 gig from one company, 70 meg in another (which is working toward 2 gig soon), and the lowest end companies averaging about 50 meg ... so how fast do you really think it needs to be? Also, look up what the speeds mean to, before you try to answer this, and how optimizers work. Also check a bit on connection types and the effects the OS's have on speeds (Windows slows the internet connection you have by almost 50% now with all services running). What you are proposing would never pay off ... ever. It's a waste.
Infrastructure ... ahh ... there is another waste of money now, and not because we don't need it but because no matter how much money you put in it, cities will waste that money not use it well. For example, here in Seattle, the I-5 viaduct. It was a waste of money when they first built it, doesn't really help our traffic problems but does create more. Now, after the earthquake we had, they have to take it down. Guess what? Instead of using the federal money on a wise alternative they are wasting it on drilling a fucking tunnel. How is that a good investment? Of course you need to know a little more about our city to realize how bad this idea is since it would work fine in other cities. So let's go back a bit further ... look into the failed monorail project a decade ago, then look into the SLUT project which replaced it after it failed ... you will see the trends of waste. I know Seattle isn't the only city making such stupid choices with the money based solely on idiotic ideas from politicians, but I live here so I know those ones best.
Glad I don't live where you do kit. Printing more money worked really well for Zimbabwe didn't it.

Wow .. um .. wow ... look up Zimbabwe because you REALLY missed the point. They printed more of their own money, it's called an example of what happens when a ountry prints more money to cover their asses instead of strengthening the value of what is already printed.
for 2 gig speeds we will need new network adapters as well, since the fastest available(that i know of) is 1 gigMunin, you are clearly not thinking well or are very naive ... so enough with the long posts. Face it, our internet speeds in the US are just as good if not better than most of the world because of the privately owned ISPs, and we can only get as fast as current technology allows (up to 1 gig I think, Qwest has always been innovators and leaders in telecommunications so they will likely be the first to 2 gig).
Printing more money than you have gold will reduce the value of that currency, period.
