"The marginal cost per kilobyte of data transfered during off peak hours is approximately $0.00." This can't be repeated enough when commenters -- as the above one did -- make such disingenuous arguments.

"I think the onus should be on the ISP to make sure that they can actually deliver the rates that they are advertising, which are clearly far too high." You can get a 100Mbs connection in Sweden for $11 a month. Or I can rent a server with

"No, I don't think it can be more efficient because chrome extensions like greasemonkey scripts cannot modify the page before it is loaded." Thus guaranteeing I will never use Chrome.

No. I have both downloaded and bought far more music than most people on this site. I no longer own my massive collection of 3,000+ CDs -- they got stolen -- but have rebuilt it up to about 500. I've also probably downloaded 1TB+ of music o

In a war of large corporations with nearly-unlimited resources against someone who just wants to listen to some music, I'll take the someone who just wants to listen to some music every time. I'm a fan of the underdog, especially one who's

Sorry, don't care about the artificial distinction. Know it probably better than you, and don't care at all. And if you don't care about it effecting your business, then you are an entrepreneur who needs to wake up.

America has a more puritanical culture than any other Western democracy. This is more an expression of that truth than any other, and the fact that it gave the AGs something easily identifiable to vilify, rather than doing their real, hard

No matter what, I don't do DRM. Won't do it. If that means in 20 years I'm alone in a cabin with a bunch of old books, so be it.

The strangest thing about me for all the brouhaha over piracy is how few people so far seem to have found a way -- or even wanted to find a way -- to capitalize on the best, fastest, easiest distribution system in the world. And there's the

Like any business, they are trying to grab as much money as they can, hoping no one will notice. People noticed, in Time Warner's case, and they got called on it. Not ethical or nice, but it is the way our system works.

From my POV, most businesses run this way. Monsanto making terminator seeds and then suing people whose fields have had possible accidental cross-pollination? Same thing, larger scale. I work for an insurance run-off business, and some of t

It feels 100% right after I am done customizing it. Chrome can never feel right because it's not customizable at all, really. One size does not fit all, and you don't get to tell me what feels right. Everyone has different needs. Mine are n

I use (actually use) about 35 plug-ins, around 50 user styles, and a few Greasemonkey scripts. Until Chrome gets all those, no way I can use Chrome. I've customized my Firefox experience so much, most people can't even recognize it. No way
