  1. Overbooking their network capacity was never something Comcast has shown any hesitation in doing. What makes you think that having enough bandwidth to handle their entire customer base was ever a concern for which they bothered accounting?

    It requires Microsoft windows which is exactly what I meant by "relying on the Microsoft ecology" but then, you knew that already didn't you? Stop trying to confuse the issue with this nonsense attempt to merely look pedantic. I see what you're doing.

    Isn't it interesting how the solutions relying on the Microsoft ecology all seem to deadlock you to Intel hardware too, when none of the other virtualization technology seems to have that problem. I wonder if you've learned your lesson yet.

    Please tell me you posted this as a joke. (Just in case it went over anyone else's head; Wells Fargo was recently in the news getting caught proving that "phishing scam" and "actually from the company" are not mutually exclusive.)

    You can lie about who you are in the public-facing profile data as long as it falls under the legal definition of satirical use, but you still are required to give your real legal name to the sign-up form when the account is initially created.

    They're just re-using attack vectors our own governments and commercial sectors have been relying on for decades. There's almost no money to be made in securing other people's data (mostly because they're too uneducated or uncreative to quantify the threat) but there's tons of money to be made selling it.

    If you're willing to shell out extra for the business-class connection, most the other providers are just fine too. Most households can't afford to spend $105 per month on a network connection though.

    The same thing that happened last time; local municipalities still have the rights to change their own laws to spite "mom-and-pop" internet providers, and they absolutely will when the town mayor is personally paid in a large solid gold statue of a bear. Then you're right back to square one of needing big bad evil government to step in with their jackbooted thugs and forcibly throat-stomp a free market onto these bought-and-paid for capitalists.

    Your post is accurate except for one minor point: When Comcast throttles your internet connection it'll be to 128kbps not 10mbps. This will even slow down small file transfers and basic terminal use.

    Look, it's not even illegal everywhere in the US. Moreover, the impact will affect vastly more innocents than exploiters. Who this bill will really punish is single mothers in rural areas who will now have to hit the streets to keep their kids from starving. You've backed a solution that increases exploitation and illegal prostitution, the two things you claim to hate so much. Good job.
