Snipped retarded links.

Whoopie fuckin' doo, dipshit.

Right. The resource anyone can author or change.

Hey, dipshit. Faraday's laws have been around longer. Some things
in electronics are the way they are for a reason.

Most of what we know about electronics.

You wouldn't be a retarded, pissing and moaning idiot on Usenet were
it not for well over 100 year old technology powering your
electrically infused life.

ADSL is doing fairly well. That will be their last hurrah, however.

Bi-directional fiber should feed us for the next 100 years though,
once we arrive at that point.

No, we do not. TCNS, and old, early ethernet yes, but not most
current networks. Plenty of military communications infrastructures
still use it, and will for decades to come.

You couldn't be much more retarded about this issue, dude.

>can't think of a reason we don't do that anymore, can you?

You are like one of those little wussy boys that won't accept a hand
me down computer to start on. You have to have the newest, shiniest
job on the block. To bad you don't even know what new or shiny even
is in the world of electronics. Cable, as in coaxial distribution
lines, and RF passes are going to be around for another century.

The only that will usher that medium out (electrons moving back and
forth inside coaxial links) will be the advent of purely optical
computing. As long as there are electrical signals that need to pass
between two points without radiating any noise or picking any up,
there will be coaxial cables to do the job.

The shit cable we use has nothing on the specs of a good, high
quality, low leakage, low loss coaxial link.

You need to go to school in this field, before you can spew anything
about it, and expect to be given any credence.
