You're right. The blogs that oppose network neutrality are far less coherent than that.

Then you aren't familiar with network neutrality, which has nothing to do with the FCC dictating what kind of traffic is and is not allowed or controlling traffic.

There are a number of disturbing aspects of this news, but I find the new "no discussion, no consideration, no compromise" attitude of the Republican party to be extremely frightening.

Privatization doesn't take control of infrastructure away from the public. Also, up is down, black is white, and disagreement is agreement.

by blueben 16y ago
It's a little disingenuous to call public utilities a money losing proposition. They're infrastructure. Communities invest in infrastructure to see dividends in prosperity, not cash.

That's not the point in question and you know it. Stay on topic please.

You are willing to begin regulating what is and is not protest speech?

Either all articles are high quality and there's no room for esoteric knowledge, or the entire system will collapse under the weight of misinformation? That's an obvious false dichotomy.

You would screw over a company just because they made you do an undesirable job for exactly one day? Obviously the test works.

Yes, occupying and imprisoning an entire nation with military force and keeping them in poverty is in a totally different league than genocide.

by blueben 16y ago
Because?

by blueben 16y ago
When it comes to the military, you're only talking a couple million people; Not significant enough to move the needle.

Inadvertently, you are correct. Capitalism thrives on a consistent set of rules, which can then be analyzed and legally subverted for greater profit.

Presumably you read my first reply, in which case you do know "what those would be". Once again, it's about convenience.

Logos are symbols. Symbols are vehicles for a message, not the message itself. A logo without any meaning isn't generally trying to convince you to like it or not. Instead, it exists to be a mental placeholder for all of the feelings and ex

You've made an assertion with nothing to back it up. Thirteen year olds pirate because they don't want to pay? Please provide data and evidence to support your case.

You're saying kids have to leave the house, go to the grocery store (good luck if you live in the suburbs), buy a gift card, go home, activate it, and then they can buy their app? Oh, and a bonus! They get to do it all over again next wee

Incident Response in a nutshell. I'm very curious to hear how the situation turned out.

His point is that Android made it easy to test multiple platforms, and Apple did not.

I think it's very clear that people do not understand why this matters. If people consistently don't understand your cause, then it's your fault for failing to convey it in a manner they can grasp internalize. "I'm here to save you from unf

It's not attacking his character, but rather his bias. And the funding that supports his opinion is entirely relevant; He is paid to craft arguments in opposition to Network Neutrality.

I'm going to let your "I've been here longer than you, nyah" comment stand on its own (lack of) merit. I am perfectly happy to meet you, the next time I am in your town, and tell you that your comment was not funny to your face.

And somebody please downvote the parent comment for knowingly propagating a blatant lie; the full, uncut Apache video was released right next to the edited version.

Nobody else is calling you on this, so I will. You continue to assert that his disclosure is causing "extra suffering and death". Your entire premise is based on this assertion. So, with all due respect, I'm asking you to fucking prove it.
