    Isn't the ad the only important part to Dice?

  3. Re:Years after the Debian phone... on Jono Bacon Talks About Ubuntu Phone Progress (Video) · · Score: 2

    Nothing about it is groundbreaking. Everything about it is either evolutionary spec bumps and cobbling together features from prior phones. Docking a phone and having it change GUIs or change to a desktop OS is not a Canonical innovation despite all their back patting.

    No, it's Net Neutrality and is very similar to the tiered systems that they were arguing against just 5-6 years ago.

    That's because you falsely presume that the majority of people are against what the government is doing. Most of the people rationalize it as okay and then condemn Snowden as a traitor. You need to get out of your nerd bubble to see this, though.

    No one has downmodded them. Go play the victim card elsewhere.

    Oh and the big cable companies being defended in that article basically demanded that the municipal monopolies be created or they wouldn't provide service. They are not saints or innocent. They are complicit in what happened.

    That should be "act like they aren't entirely complicit".

  19. Re:My rating... on We're Number 9! US Broadband Speeds Rise, But Slower Than Many Other Countries' · · Score: 3, Informative

    So the local government forced them to lobby for the municipal monopolies? They only exist because of the actions of the cable companies and telecos basically demanding that they be created or else they weren't going to provide the city with service. To then act like they are entirely complicit in creation of such monopolies is to insult everyone's intelligence.

    The same AT&T that lobbies against cheaper municipal systems that would compete against their outrageously priced service? Oh what saints they are!!

    What a dumb article. It's the cable companies and telecoms that asked for the municipal monopolies. So we aren't supposed to blame them for the very monopolies they asked for?

    Since when is the hardware open? They've stated no such thing. It's going to have proprietary drivers and fitmware like every pther phone.
