You're most likely not paying for 900. That's just marketing talking. That's not committed bandwidth. Come to think of it, the asymmetry is probably a way to exploit transit fees.

If the FCC had the power to mandate this and they exercised the power its power would likely be curtailed or Internet access would disappear completely, at least temporarily, in certain parts of the US. Infrastructure costs money that compa

You're lucky that ATT is offering any wired Internet service in your area. I know highly urbanized ATT areas where they offer no wired service. They pulled DSL and put nothing in its place. Fortunately there is another monopolistic wir

Facts! Also, they threaten so that you reduce your utilization. Just ignore them. When they do cut you off, get back to us from your local library's public Internet access.

I'm not sure that more regulation is the fix. There are users that want the higher speed and then there are users who are content with inexpensive access Even if "slow". Most of the time the two don't go hand in hand.

I personally like libraries, but you have a point, maybe we should put the money that goes toward library taxes to better use.

Not analogous. The poster was talking about suggesting an improvement and you about removing an existing service altogether.

Uploading a 30-minute YouTube video in 30 minutes sounds reasonable. It may actually improve the quality of YouTube and give creators an opportunity to touch grass.

Yay, I'll be able to play Fortnite now! Seriously, a backyard 3G connection should still be faster than an indoor 3G connection.

Well, once a copy of a public domain work is published, you can reproduce it from that publication without permission or license.

I don't think we are on the training side. I think the artists would like us to.

Yes, you could physically and contractually prohibit others from copying the original work.

OK, now you're backpedaling and muddying the waters. Language and customs are the most prominent aspects of a cultural identity. English is spoken pretty much everywhere. What's your point?

The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth being a federation was hardly a mix. Also, despite the union's somewhat long existence, it was the union's multiculturalism that arguably led to its demise.

Not really, the Brits underestimated the Germans and Central Europe in general was sacrificed on the altar of presumingly keeping the war out of the West.

They probably sound as similar to each other as German does to Danish.

The Ribbentrop-Molotov agreement was secret, so I'm doubtful that the Czechoslovak government was aware of the machinations until long after it was signed. Here's another quote restating the same info followed by a citation to Has

Thanks. The clip appears to discuss the history of scouts and their participation in the resistance. Is there a segment that is particularly relevant? The whole Central European story is complicated. The countries were hashed and rehashed o

There are a number of beer themed books, but none of them even close to 3.5 beer. Perhaps you can post the Polish title.

"The Czechoslovak capitulation precipitated an outburst of national indignation. In demonstrations and rallies, Czechs and Slovaks called for a strong military government to defend the integrity of the state. A new cabinet, under Gener

I wasn't aware that Russia has immigrant labor, though I shouldn't have been surprised given their relative economic strength.

In my criticism I made a conscious effort to single out the Czechoslovak government (I should've probably narrowed it down to Beneš and Hácha in particular), as opposed to the citizenry. Perhaps surprisingly, after the outbreak of WWII

The claim of "participation" in the so called partition is inflammatory. You make it sound like Poland was a party to some kind of an agreement to dissolve Czechoslovakia, when there is no evidence of that, especially in retrospec

Which Czech part, Bohemia, Moravia, Czech Silesia, or ...? Was it the "regions with German-speaking majority"? Languages had everything to do with it. "Bohemia became a part of Czechoslovakia, defying claims of the German-spe

That was probably the case also during the Soviet era. It may well be the case even today.

Central Europe was the place of a lot of complex belligerence at the time. Given his penchant for humor, I'm not surprised that he was a commissar. 'The Bolshevik Party established political commissars in 1918 to control and impro

Czecho-Slovakia was a multicultural country with more than one language in common use. This was arguably one of the shortcomings that led to its WWII era capitulation.
