  1. Re:I don't get Net Neutrality on Senator Diane Feinstein Trying to Kill Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    A better way to explain it is this. My porn provider pays all of the ISP's individually to boost traffic to the site. That is they would have to pay not only their ISP but also comcast, roadrunner, everest, and ever other ISP out there... Now Starcraft says we already pay for our bandwidth.. Why should we pay each and every ISP so people can get to us. Now as you sit home trying to figure out why you can only play starcraft at dialup speeds even though you pay for 100Gb/s, I get all the porn I want faster then I can use it.
    Does that make more sense now?

    Just emailed my ISP and thanked them. I also submitted a bug report because this must be a bug.. This is not how the internet works... please correct it.

    Don't forget to submit your bug report as well!
    if we kill there messaging server with a ton of reports they may get the idea...

  4. Re:A "graduated response"? on AT&T, Comcast To Join RIAA Team · · Score: 1

    But who would go after them for the offense?
    If the RIAA agrees they will not hold the ISP's responsible, as long as they help catch the evil doer's, then who would sue / convict them? So far unfortunately they are really not stepping into anything.

    so it takes 18 years to stop selling Windows 3.X but only 8 years to stop selling XP???? what gives?

  6. Re:Ok..how about taxes? on Discuss the US Presidential Election & the Economy · · Score: 1

    And this is a question not a slam or troll... how is what we have now not redistribution? the "trickle down theory" is that give the most tax breaks to big companies and wealthy individuals (who as a base pay higher taxes but after the breaks pay less then the average if not a 0%) but the average person and small businesses end up paying a higher average percentage of their income to taxes. if what would have been 200Million $ going into taxes gets removed due to tax breaks. then the average person without those tax breaks ends up paying for the gov to run. The thinking behind this is the big corps and wealthy people will, when they feel like it, give raises and give the average person money. Hence trickle down. I am all for either a flat tax or remove those tax breaks from the wealthy. if all of the money that was suppose to go into taxes actually went there then in general the taxes would be lower due to the amount going into the system.

    Yes yes grammar Nazis you can bash me. but my point is what I am trying to address.

  9. When the rules you vote for come back to haunt you on McCain Campaign Protests YouTube's DMCA Policy · · Score: 2, Funny

    Wow it really sucks when the rules that you agree to come back to bite you in the butt..

    next up I hope every senator and congressmen have to use the normal (what most people have) health insurance. Then maybe they will start to look at the health insurance companies and fix that.

    and no I do not be live in socializing medical treatment, but something should be done with the health insurance companies.

  10. Re:Surprise? on In Response To Restraining Order, Real Networks Pulls RealDVD · · Score: 1

    Actually Real was the one who filed the lawsuit first. Then the movie company filed after them.
    They did this to establish it was not illegal and to set precedent. The RIAA/MPAA filed after words to get there 2 cents in. At the end of the day the court was put where Real filed instead of Hollywood Court where MPAA filed.

    yep that will look really good. wonder if Jerry would be aloud to do an episode on the VP's life.. or maybe one of those reality shows...

  13. Re:99% off-topic question on How Close Were US Presidential Elections? · · Score: 1

    never understood that logic... if I want a 3rd party to win I should vote for them. How does voting 3rd party take a vote away from anyone. Its like the RIAA... well everyone downloaded it so that would = a sale... no not really. might have downloaded it to try it but would never have bought it.. Same can and does apply to 3rd party vote took a vote away from X candidate. and amazingly enough if everyone who wanted the 3rd party person voted for them... guess what... they win... so I have just never understood that argument.

    ps. I have voted for Republican, Democrat, as well as 3rd party in different elections.
