Verizon Changes FiOS AUP, -1, Offtopic

RasputinAXP writes "Verizon has changed their FiOS AUP effective yesterday, and added an interesting new clause to their specific examples that we're all familiar with: 'it is a violation of the Agreement and this AUP to ... post off-topic information on message boards, chat rooms or social networking sites.' At this point, every FiOS-based Slashdot user is breaking the new AUP."

My first hand experience on Modern Warfare 2

[sopssa]

I think it was a cool game. Clever plot, movie-like experience that took your breath away and huge explosions. It was sad that there wasn't more of those sneaky sniper missions however.

Multiplayer is cool with it's leveling and perks, which actually matter quite a lot. Your characters abilities are totally different based on your perks. Co-op play is also great fun.

What do you think?

I agree, and I think it's time for the government to acknowledge the problem.

Potato is already a root. Or a tuber, same difference.

wow, you mods are really on the ball today...

Slashdot is full of little bitches who all need to all be punched in their collective faces while their ipods, iphones, macbooks and ps3's all are smashed on the basement floors.

One day I plan on hacking this site using root / password! and garbing all the marketing/mod logs so I can take a little trip around the world to hand out free punches to each and every one of you fucking cock sucking basement dwelling whores.

May each of you burn in hell forever as the spaghetti monster devourers your souls one bit at a time.

and in Satan's name may a pox fall upon your motherboards, bit rot consume your illegal loli porn and may your hard drives all crash and burn.

I *know* violence isn't the answer. I get it wrong on purpose.

Windows ME

[Neil Hodges]

My experience with Windows ME wasn't exactly a good one. As soon as I installed a second hard drive, it would bluescreen at boot. XP was better back then (when it was first released).

I'm pretty sure that that is not the original intended use of nmap!

AC, I'm really happy for ya and imma let you finish but Kayne is the best troll of all time. The best of all time.

It's precisely statements like these that will set back the sexual revolution at least 100 years. Please try to be less judgemental in the future.

Hey Verizon!

I see they have been spending one time on the *chan sites.

This is why I run Emacs on MacOS

Because being a Linux fanboy was too mainstream.

Wow, it takes talent to be modded offtopic on an offtopic conversation.

I'm going straight to hell!

If you are a Verizon customer, you are already here.

Damn you, it took me 7 minutes to log back in!

As I just said above, all you need to do is put Wirt's leg and a book of town portal in the cube.

I'm calling Verizon on ALL OF YOU!!!

[Jazz-Masta]

How DARE you break the terms of your agreement! Have we stooped so low? What next? Downloading of Movies, Music, etc?

Re:Why they may have done so

[conlaw]

The wording is broad, but that may very well be to make sure that they can reasonably catch it all and respond.

But if it's too broad, an affected customer can try to get a court to throw it out on grounds of ambiguity! Now do the hokey-pokey and turn yourself around. That's what its all about!

To all of you offtopiccers!

[sopssa]

I'm on Verizon and cannot join the discussion, you insensitive clods!

A bear walks into a bar and says "I would like a beer ... ", waits 30 seconds, then says "... and a wine cooler."

The bartender says, "OK. But why the big pause?"

The bear says, "I dunno. I've always had them"

Three men walk into a bar, the fourth ducks.

[azmodean 1]

Yea, but you could usually get the same effect by posting "Hey guys, use Alt+F5 to enable the special DCC recv mode and I'll send you some {illicit data of the moment}"

Re:haha that's funny

[Anonymous Coward]

Set the subject line to "Press ALT-F4 for Ops!" Hilarity ensued.
