Your edit is essentially the point of my original post. Yes, if we can get 100mbps for the vast majority of Americans, that would be awesome. But, if the vast majority of Americans would be fine right now with 10-15-20mbps, wouldn't it

Yea, certainly wasn't trying to call you out or anything :) And yes, I remember when there was only one or two TVs in the house. Then there was 56k, where only one person could be online, and it took up the phone line. That's not

I'm curious why you think 25 mbps is what you'd need for a family of four? Is there some sort of data out there for this? Netflix states you need 3.5 mbps for SD, 5.0 mbps for HD.[0] With a family of four, does this means everyone

In the US, unless we are talking about a border search, LEO will still need a warrant to search your phone. I'm unsure if this is what you meant by "pants down" tho :)

The US isn't. The City of Seattle is. This is an important distinction.

Pricing as a result of market conditions does not make the pricing arbitrary. The price could be affected by lack of competition, but it could also be because of a number of other economic reasons. Limited competition itself could result fr

Suing companies for this sort of thing isn't as easy as you'd think. One of the issues is damages, as in, you need to prove you incurred some sort of tangible harm or damage. This is usually calculated in financial damage. Current

>Only 15% of American believe that Snowden is a hero, 30% call him a traitor outright and only 25% of them believe that he should be offered any type of deal/pardon. According to that poll. I think it's a reasonable possibility

You can ascertain information pointing towards specific IoT devices from things like HTTP header information. I saw an blogpost a couple months ago detailing how the author ID'd an IoT DDOS botnet, which I can't find now, but here

The only thing stopping me from getting an arm sleeve is knowing it will be there forever, and during future times when I can't have one. Though if it lasts 12 months, by month 8 will I have a half-faded looking thing that I either hav

What you were witnessing was not debate. Speaking to a largely empty chamber is the norm, and serves a different purpose. Debate and discussion of legislation happens in the discourse Senate members have with each other, with their staff, b

I understand all the negative feelings our society has towards lawyers, and I don't blame anyone for having them. But there are a lot of us who are entering the profession because we have a sincere desire to do good. I also think that

To cite my own experience, I pay around $30,000 a year for my instate J.D. program. My school-appointed mentor, who graduated in 2004, paid $4,000 a year. I see this as unfair, not only in the sense that my generation has to take out extrao
