> But it still feels brazen hearing the commission staff repeatedly discount Americans' preference for consumer protections, simply because they aren't phrased in legal terms.
Lets face it, its nothing to do with legal terms or not, its about following the money, and the money says end NN.
I completely agree that they are annoying, but as an app developer I know that the nagging works, and reviews are so important for getting downloads - our app downloads per day go up and down with our rating
Surely if anyone is at fault here it is apple for deploying buggy code and the department responsible for a 911 system that crashes under 6000 calls...
How is there news about Office 2010, which was presumably released 6 years ago. Who even uses Office these days, Google docs all the way... or a Markdown editor.
Actually with the data ISPs will collect and given that all of those providers use https for the webmail, your ISP will only know you accessed gmail, but have no idea of the contents of your mail
I was hoping to see an article discussing the changes in architecture and how the improvements have been made, not just regurgiting lists of bench marks
I think that is the craziest part, that again the people involved know about, that they can never hope to control all the software in the world. And as much as they can might be able to stop ordinary americans using real encryption they have no chance of stopping the 'terroists' that they claim to be really trying to spy on.
When politicians say this things - you can maybe believe that they don't understand the impossibility of undermining encryption such that only the 'good guys' can do it. But the director of the FBI, would must know what he is talking about, and must know that its just completely wrong.
Unfortunately this is a recurring theme that GCHQ has tried to push on each of last few governments seemingly in an attempt to legalise what they are already doing.
I don't disagree that hosts file might not be better, adblock is just a very simple solution, for non Slashdot users, my point is simply that I am not interested in working around the problem, I would be more interested in solving the problem at the source.Clearly ISPs are lacking proper regulation, net neutrality is being allowed to be destroyed, by a lack of response to such things.
Everyone agrees that its easily worked around, a simple adblock extension will do it, but the point is rather more serious, that comcast think its ok to supply you not with the internet, but the internet according to comcast.
Its true, I prefer the upstart syntax, but either way, its a damn sight better than those scripts that we had to write for years.
Why must people hang on so much to the old when there are so many clear advantages.

Just because everyone does something crap doesn't make it ok - if Nintendo cared at all about their customers they wouldn't do this.
clearly the US president thinks it very important, so someone must care

if you dont like it, just delete the app and travel some other way, there is no point hating it.

The only debate has been between those with a vested interest in it happening, and no one else having a look at it
Yes, because guns are the solution to all the problems everywhere

Disappearing step by step
It's a shame one of the biggest cloud hosting providers, aws, doesn't provide ipv6 support.

Its hard to say what i would think, when it comes to a personal family member, but honestly, freedom is worth the price.

You could easily right, its something that we will have to fight for when the time comes.

take em to court for claiming to provide free internet and actually providing something quite different
