Re: Why badges?

Crikey, I thought you said badgers. Just drop one through the sun/moon roof opening and get your chair and bag of popcorn.

Poor Ginny

Hope this improves things enough she gets her bonus. Strangely enough, bonus monies seem to have vanished for the rank and file.

Re: Maybe jobs moving to AT&T?

What, so AT&T can lay them off. The deathstar has and continues to deplete the ranks of anyone who knows anything in favour of offshoring and outsourcing to the likes of big blue (they don't even deserve to be capitalised). New employees don't get pensions and they have a history of stealing pensions from personnel who were part of oursource actions in the past. No sympathy for either company.

Important to remember

It's important to remember that Google is only wiring up certain areas where they get enough subscribers and that ATT is only wiring up places (like Austin) to be directly in competition to Google and to show "they can do it, too". It has nothing to do with actually going out and running fibre to all their customers to actually improve their service. They certainly don't give shite about that.
