"As someone who doesn't reside in the USA, I was wondering what would be the best way to get internet for my computer in the US for a couple of weeks? If it were Europe I know I'd look for some prepaid data. Is there anything similar offered by American carriers?

Lol, ironic or... a very old theory.
haha andrew. thats quite the theory :D lets write a movie together.
The problem is that if a United States court decides that it is wrong for the LHC to exist then the United States will pull funding from the project which will slow the project down while they look for someone else to pay for it. So yes, it does matter what the United States thinks.
