What city is bigger, and by how much?

Kansas city? or Houston? You'll find the reason after/if someone can answer this with truth.

Thanks guys!

Kansas City is 36th and Houston is 4th largest by population.

There's just as many people that call in for tech support from Kansas City as there is from Houston.

So is this thread about the population difference between the two cities or the number of tech support that is needed from the populace who live in those two cities?

The customer base of Houston is bigger than Kansas City, yet just as many folks from KC call in, much more so if there's an outage at both places.

If KC and Houston go down, KC won't wait or look at the modem to see a cable light out. They call in panic'd more than Houston. Smartest place probably with the Internet and RR calling in? San Diego is fantastic!

So basically it was nothing more than a trick question?

I didn't know the population of either city, only the user base.

So if we find a list of the stupidest cities in America, KC will be listed high? :P

Ugh. Well, you have done a good job at twisting my brain, dunchy. When I was reading the topic starter, you weren't really specific and your question about then you added in that the people from KC were more inclined to call in for tech support, despite their size in population. Which is why I asked as to whether this was a thread about the population difference or the difference between the that differs between the two cities despite the difference in the size of the populace living in either city.

I'm also at work, when so my brain/communication online drops signifigantly. :S I don't know much about the states or the population density or how much reputation states/city's have in general. I allways thought that the bigger towns would have more calls, yet this case is different :(

As you can tell, I've been talking to many people from KC today :(

Im confused, so does this mean...
A. people from KC are stupid
B. people from KC call tech support a lot
C. People in KC have crappy merchandise and need to call tech support to fix their stuff more often.
D, E, F. Reverse A B and C and replace KC with Houston
