  1. Come on now... You could only turn an F into a B without it standing out like a sore thumb.

  2. Nobody with any experience installs a patch immediately when its released if they aren't forced to. It only takes one time borking your entire network/domain by being the unwitting beta tester to learn that lesson.

    Write a letter and mail it. Seriously, your representatives take snail mail VERY seriously. If a constituent took the time to write and mail a letter they will take action.

  4. Anyone who believes replying to tweets, no matter how mean, even cracks the list of top 1,000 worst jobs has probably never had a job period. This is what all public relations people do. I also notice there's no mention of their taxpayer funded salaries and benefits.

  5. If it were simple for law enforcement to access the phones of criminals then they wouldn't use them for criminal purposes and only the privacy of average citizens would be compromised.

  6. Once wall street gets involved the paper value WILL BE the real value.

    Crypto values are too volatile to be useful as any kind of investment vehicle. No true investor will tolerate 20-30% weekly swings. Gamblers trying to get rich quick, on the other hand...

    Uh-huh. Because perfectly timing the market on a daily basis is soooo easy, everyone can do it.

    Said the con-artist.

  9. Bitcoin is hanging on because of the fraud that Tether is. Once Tether implodes look out below.

  10. Yep. Time for a Trump is a Russian Spy! story or something about climate change killing us all.

  11. My point is that once Wall Street and their paper crypto get involved it will only decrease in value (unless they want it to increase). In other words they will control the market if they're allowed to print paper crypto.

    Look what has happened to the metals markets after they began printing paper metals by trading derivatives/etfs. They artificially control the supply/demand curve without mining anything.

    Once Wall Street gets involved with crypto trading that'll be the end of its decentralization. It will be easily manipulated for the benefit of the banksters. Derivatives and ETF's will be introduced that have the effect of printing new crypto that only exists on paper and there will be no more gains to be had for the average person.

    " It would simply nullify the FCC's "Restoring Internet Freedom" order and do nothing else."

    Thank you. So it does jack squat about Net Neutrality then. Funny, that.

    A big part of the problem is that the FCC should've never been involved with this in the first place. 3 out of 5 unelected bureaucrats being given the power to regulate the entire internet should scare the hell out of everyone, especially investors.

    The legislature is where this has always belonged. Now we'll get to find out if they're serious or if this is just more failure theater designed to deceive people come November.

    I agree it would make more sense to regulate your internet connection as a utility. That seems to be the best neutral way forward.

    Want to see all the major ISP's screaming for "Net Neutrality" freak the F out? Suggest regulating them as a utility.

    Why is that?

    These dishonest political tactics are exactly how you got Trump, by the way.

    I suspect the same. They'll call it "Net Neutrality" and then insert a dozen poison pills to guarantee that it can't pass.

    All so they can have a pathetic wedge issue to run on for November.

    It doesn't matter what I think - I just want to read the bill instead of just jumping on board the meme train to false narrative-ville.

    You know, like how the "Affordable Care Act" turned out to be anything but affordable and the "Patriot Act" was about the most unpatriotic thing ever.

    Partisan hacks gonna partisan hack I suppose.

    Without 100 tracking cookies and javascript bloat pages loaded about as fast as they do now.

    Fun story: the first image I ever downloaded from the "internet" was a 50kb b&w satellite weather image in a lynx browser on a 2600 baud internal modem. The serial mouse I had connected was on the same IRQ as the modem, however, so the modem would freeze when the mouse wasn't active but then resume when the mouse was moving. So I sat there for what seemed like an hour moving the mouse in circles until the pic downloaded completely. It was magic.

    Just calling it "Net Neutrality" is meaningless. What is in the bill? If its true neutrality it will pass with a huge margin and Trump will sign it.
