I Think I'm Infected

I must have been infected by one of these ads. I keep getting pop-up messages advising me to upgrade to Windows 10. Definitely some kind of malware. I can't imagine how else I could have been infected.

Oh, wait. I visited Windows Update. My fault then, really. Never mind.

It's the right move

Sending humans into space is wasteful and pointless. Machines can do a better job for a fraction of the money. The sooner we get past the anachronistic Buck Rogers paradigm of space exploration the better.

The Report Ignores Satellite ISPs

The map is wrong. All areas of the contiguous 48 states are currently served by satellite ISPs. Try googling "hughesnet" for an example of what is available in the fictitious white spaces. Contrary to what the Communication Workers of America union would have you believe, it makes no sense to serve remote areas with terrestrial ISPs when they can be served more economically by satellite.
