I don't like it. It's too binary for me. What if I don't begrudge the suggestion, but wouldn't seek out something like that? Do I upvote it? Downvote it? Nothing? In the same vein, I'd be interested to see how netfl

Interesting concept. I like it but for the fact I can't see the ship since it likes to live under my finger.

I don't know much about VPNs, so please forgive my ignorance. But doesn't using a VPN basically throttle you to whatever internet speed the VPN server has? I pay for 100mb at home, I don't really want to artificially throttle

tl;dr - It's like a crawler (mobile with a boom, street level crane) but you put it on top of something already there. Since its on top of something, it's not a "mobile" crane and couldn't get certified as one, howe

I laugh at all these pop culture code names. Like guys... Don't do that... You look like you are desperate to stay in touch.

We cannot have both the uniformity that comes of a single universal browser and the benefits that come from a free marketplace. So long as anyone can make a browser, there will be differences. And the day we try to eliminate that will be a

This only works as long as you have line-of-sight. I don't see this as a household technology (or any sort of info-as-light tech) until/unless this problem can find a reasonable workaround.

I'm the same way. 1 - Terrible. Good Lord, who thought making this was a good idea? 2 - Poor. Would not watch again 3 - Fair. Neither for or against. Unlikely to watch again, but I don't grudge the time spent. 4 - Good. I enjoyed
