    I think you know you didn't deserve 2 karma for this drivel. That's not what I said and you very well know it. "Fixing a few mistakes" is a gross mischaracterization of what happened here.

    Oh, don't worry, we won't be forgetting the fact they compounded their guilt by figuratively trying to sweep the mistake under the rug.

    False equivalence fallacy. You've never even seen a taxi in real life, have you?

    I wonder if this other pending investigation has anything to do with how they were somehow able to get away with operating a completely unlicensed taxi service globally without any apparent regard for the law.

  9. And don't forget, ICMP traffic and incoming connections to port 25, as well as all encryption and swarmstreaming traffic is blocked because only pirates use that stuff.

    LOL! I hope for your sake that you're the shill you appear to be rather than the tool your statement paints you as. In 10 years people are gonna look at archived records of posts like this as an example of how stupid people were and how their willingness to throw away their own freedom to allow some already fat fat cats make an even quicker buck proved they never deserved it anyway.

    Wait, I'm confused about something here. Isn't the $20 figure cited by the article basically just a current market value threshold set by the main currency miners/transactors on line at the time? In theory at least, couldn't this high transaction cost be dropped or nullified completely by a flood of smaller independent miners/transactors coming online who all just agree to not charge anything for transactions? Or is there something inherent to the way the software is written that requires all transactions to go to the highest bidder? I feel like there's something fundamental that I'm missing here other than the obvious historical references to tulips and pyramid schemes.

    In particular, Comcast has been sandbagging fair use of encryption and swarmstreaming traffic across the board, while also illegally charging Netflix just for traversal of it's network. Now they want to charge customers for using Netflix too. This is all blatantly illegal, and always has been. Now they have an inside guy to try to overturn the law though.

    He means maybe nobody will bother creating websites anymore and we'll all go back to distributing content on disks delivered by truck.

  17. Before 2015 the FCC's own guidelines more or less matched the laws that were passed then. The only thing that changed to precipitate this was that companies like Comcast started to betray the public interest for their own profit, conspicuously and repeatedly enough that passing a law to protect the status quo became necessary. You're a bad person for suggesting otherwise. Who is paying you for this? How much money do you make per month doing it, how many hours do you work, and what country claims you as a citizen?

    No, Little Caesar's and Pizza Hut are both fast food too. Real pizza doesn't come from a chain and most certainly doesn't push a spamware tie-in delivery app.
