UPDATE: Verizon late voice mails SF area too!

I posted a question to the SF area Craigslist about late Verizon voice mail indications, and it's happening there too!

If Verizon can't handle a 1-bit information indicator any more quickly than that, why would anybody trust them with even a phone call? Sheesh.

No longer 50 years away?

I've been reading for decades that nuclear fusion was the energy source of the future -- and always would be! But a recent result indicates that the future may be closer than we thought: by 2020?

Wouldn't it be lovely? But I still think solar fuel looks like a more quickly achievable technical breakthrough. Let a hundred flowers bloom!
