• Welcome aboard Ralph. You are not currently in an intelligent community. I mean, you've seen quiddy, haven't you?
• Fucking Cleveland. Everywhere I go: fucking Cleveland. Everything I hear: Cleveland. You must all die now for the good of humankind everywhere: Cleveland.
• Please note, this is a list developed by an organization that is promoting "broadband economy" (whatever the heck that is????) and relates to communities that are promoting broadband in some way. I'm not sure that this is the defining list of "intelligent communities".. after all, it lists towns in Ohio and Georgia... 'nuff said? meh...
• Ohio and Georgia.. you call these people morons??? HuronBob thou shameful person.
• The group makes its choices based on the prevalence of high-speed Internet service. I don't get the link between broadband and intelligence. Maybe I'm just too stupid and not worthy of my cable modem. Oh, it's a marketing deal. IC.
• I lives in parts That is not smarts.
• Determining intelligence based on internet access. Why of course - so much can be learned from Myspaces, YTMND and FARK. Especially quantum mechanics.
• Strong with the snark, is this young one, but posted, he has not.
• BANINATE!!!! sorry
• Broadband equals more porn, not more smarts.
• I wish my city hadn't spent so much time smoking near the west doors and giving Waterloo the royal flush back in high school. HAH! Waterloo/royal flush!!!
• I live in one of Utne Magazine's 10 most "Enlightened Towns". Do I get a gold star?
• Question: If Cleveland is so high up there, then who are the people who are dragging the Silicon Valley numbers down?
• Cleveland's only claim to fame is their eponymous 'steamer'.
• That's a pretty harsh way to describe the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame!
• Actually, I kid about Cleveland. Of all the US cities I've visited, it's one of my favourites. And the RnRHOF is not to be missed!
• I'm with you Chyren. I love how my dear alma mater (dripping with sarcasm) Case Western tried to fumble its way onto Wired magazine's top spot with lies and misstatements. Maybe the city caught on to the plan and has done the same. Wouldn't surprise me.
• Hmmm, I guess Cleveland does rock in a mathematically quantifiable way. The RnRHOF is on my to-do list as well, possibly as part of some midwestern road trip in the future.
• The coolest thing I saw at the RnRHOF was the remains of Paul Simonon's bass guitar (The one he's smashing on the cover of "London Calling"). Honourable mentions go to Elvis's police badge and Handsome Dick Manitoba's leather jacket.
