Ignoring sites that are slow outside of the ISP due to routing and such, most problems seem to be due to oversubscribing. Allow a few households to pay for priority access to Netflix or whatever and everyone else slows down a bit, more households pay for priority and everyone else slows down more, more people pay and pretty soon most everyone is paying, the network is still oversubscribed and things are just about as slow except the last households that didn't pay are super slow. End result is everyone who can afford it paying more for the same service as they had previously. Great for the ISP, shitty for the customer.
Windows 95 didn't even ship with a web browser. Some of the OEM versions did ship with IE, but if it was too broken to load a URL that started with file:// then it is good the DoJ tried to stop it.
Actually Canada and I presume other countries, won't extradite a murderer to the US without a promise of no death sentence. Not only do extradition treaties often say that something has to be a crime in both jurisdictions but also that the punishment has to be roughly equivalent. In this case it sounds like the US has a 30 year sentence vs a 3 year sentence in the UK, that's an order of magnitude more punishment. That's not even mentioning that the US actually brags about rewarding the worst criminals with people like Lauri Love as sex toys.
Constitution was amended after the copyright clause was added. Congress was banned from writing any laws to do with speech and since this is about singing, a type of speech, the Federal government has no jurisdiction.
Best thing would be to invalidate every law that infringes on the 1st and 2nd. Wouldn't take long for a push to repeal them. No laws limiting speech, not even for national security or child porn. No laws restricting owning weapons, not for certain classes of people, not for certain government buildings such as courts or airports, not for weapons of mass destruction. The 1st and 2nd are very simple, yet the American Supreme Court has totally twisted them. Only some types of speech are protected and only some types of arms are allowed by certain types of people.
A lot easier to tax a legal business. It's also one of the arguments for legalizing marijuana, of course the right up here are just screaming about the children without stopping to consider we already have one of the highest amounts of usage by children. Same with sex, when our Supreme Court said it was unconstitutional to ban prostitution, they just made it illegal to buy sex and put in regulations like no selling sex within a ridiculous distance from schools. They scream about free speech and being allowed to vent their hatred while doing their best to illegalize other types of speech such as talking about sex and especially pictures.
It was still a red dwarf that might have been barely visible and would have taken perhaps a thousand years or more to cross the sky. Very doubtful that it would have been noticed.
Well it did take about 70 years or 3 generations for the weavers to become employed again, so we can look at a prosperous 22nd century. The next wave of automation, even after shrinking the workforce by banning child labour, encouraging retirement, forcing shorter work weeks, still needed WWI to get full employment. Once that was cleaned up (always work when it comes to fixing broken windows) and the tractor enabled automation in the farmland, another big depression and once again a world war to fix the employment. That time there was enough destruction to enable a couple of decades of work. Then there was the cold war and the follow up war on terror, which created lots of work building new ways of breaking windows. Now in America, lots of work building means of breaking windows to maintain the economy as well as the fact that the country is living on credit. Both government borrowing like crazy and the people going further and further into debt to maintain the lifestyle of prosperity.
Canada sure doesn't let just anyone in through the U.S.. Why should the U.S. not have as rigorous control over immigration as pretty much any country on Earth?
Canada has had people coming from the U.S. since before there was a US. Started with the right wingers escaping from the Liberal revolution back in about 1775, then there was the black people seeking freedom, the natives escaping genocide, the gold miners seeking their fortune, the young people who didn't want to be forced to go to Vietnam to get killed or kill, people looking for medical help, and now a wave of people escaping Trump. Lots of stories about people walking across the border in 30 below weather, losing their toes and fingers in the process, lately.
Here on the west coast of Canada, they fly the labourers up from Central America, house them, pay them $15+ an hour and fly them back home at the end of the season. Season is about 4 months, strawberries, raspberries and blueberries mostly.
Yes, on my desktop I see next to no ads and have most all tracking blocked. Now and again I have to do some testing with a virgin profile and it horrifies me how ads there actually are, even with a lot of addresses blacklisted. My phone not so much. This partially due to having retired my flip phone not that long ago and switched to an Android one and not having spent much time at looking into blocking everything, partially because I don't do much with it. It still seems much more non-trivial to set up Android for no ads and even not having a data plan, my phone provider seems to randomly turn data on and off. Looking, the month seems to have started yesterday, the phone has already used 1.27 MBs, mostly by Google Services.
Is it a lie that Mike Pence, a Dominist Christian is Vice-President of the USA? Is it a lie that American politicians have been caught soliciting sex in mens bathrooms? Then there's the Christian guy who divorced 2 wives on their deathbeds to marry young things. Then there are the Christians who support Trump, a man without morals based on his actions and words. Unluckily most of these Christians never read the whole Bible (seeming to stop before the new testament besides the thing about being forgiven no matter what they did as long as they say they belief) nor their countries excellent founding documents. Be really nice if Americans were aware of their founders actual beliefs.
Not the American version. It says that God rewards the true believers with material possessions as well as hot babes or anonymous blow jobs in the mens washroom.
Yea, the previous Conservative government as part of their tough on crime agenda really weakened civil rights. It did take them 3 tries as the people did scream but they were patient and finally implemented it to "save the children" after accusing everyone of being a pervert didn't go over well. And of course the current government finds it a handy tool and is not going to revoke it.
The advert group requires your cooperation. The government can arrest you regardless.
Do they? Google seems to have trackers almost everywhere on the web and even being somewhat technically literate, it is hard to block them all, especially on a closed system like a cell phone and I don't know about Google but Facebook, which is also in the advertising business, seems to have shadow profiles of most everyone, whether they ever cooperated by signing up or not.
Are you seriously implying that it is OK for the cops to handcuff and do a search on 25+ (I'll assume some of those cars had more then one person in it) people, especially in a country where it is routine for cops to shoot suspects for not complying quick enough? What a fucked up country when it comes to the rights of the people.
Google tries to keep all your info to itself and uses it to target ads at you. They screw up and send you the wrong ads, not exactly life altering though it is shitty that they have so much data, which is a weakness that the government can use. The government is run by politicians who want to be seen doing something like jailing criminals. Doesn't really matter to them if they actually jail innocents as long as no one notices and they have the power to ruin lives really quick. Just takes being wrongly arrested to fuck up your life in some cases and even if they shoot you in the back doesn't seem to matter.
It serves the politicians, which in the USA often includes the Judges, prosecutors and heads of police departments. For a politician, it is more important to be seen as doing something, even if it is totally the wrong something and throwing someone in jail is doing something.

He did bring someone into America with questionable legality for sexual reasons. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Mela....
Equating sex trafficking with marriage is about as silly as you can get.
In the case of some arranged marriages, not so much.

Some areas such as where I live, the same natives have apparently been here since the ice retreated, no stealing of the land as it was empty.

See what happens if you question Putin's legitimacy?
If you lived in Russia you could expect worse but then you'd know better than to post such criticism under your username, or even as an a/c.
My understanding is that like so many countries, little guy criticizing is usually ignored.
Not everyone lives in a small highly populated country with actual choices for an ISP.
How many countries have DVD rental from Netflix? I'm in Canada and don't seem to have the option to rent DVD's, though perhaps I just missed it.

He was a Christian, you know, those who love Trump as Trump has so many Christian values.
