Perhaps. Was thinking more along the lines of first seeing a draft of the proposed legislation, arguments on both sides and how it plays out. It could just be another diversion as in "look at this shiny object while I pick your pockets". Could this be the end of the Internet as we know it? Stay tuned.
Cough...as of the first quarter of 2010, the Federal Reserve estimated that total public and private debt owed by American households, businesses, and government totaled $50 trillion...cough.
Munchen! In the Parkstadt Schwabing. How could you not switch to Windows 10 after such a magnanimous gesture. I'd rather that my sister had sex with the Pittsburgh Penguins (all three forward lines) than switch from Linux to Windows 10. But, if you offered me enough money...
Yes, I would be very interested in knowing how much money microsoft has spread around to governments all over the world to use their products. Billions? It's not really a fair fight is it?
You, my friend, are in the minority. Visa isn't making money off you. My point applies more to those who make the minimum payment and end up paying the highest interest.
Many years ago, actually my first job was in sales. The company would finance the purchase at about 30% interest. People would always say "Thirty-percent? I don't know about that." And the answer would be, yes but you're going to pay it off the first chance you get, like when you get your income tax back. Although very few of them did. Are you really sure you're up money on the credit card companies? Can't remember the last time one of them went bankrupt.
Clicked on the link and RTFA. Never had been to outline.com site before. You almost can't tell where the story stops and the ads start. They look the same, sound the same with what seems
to be the same quasi-plagiarized material that's on 100 other sites these days. Christ, it must be easy to sell advertising these days. Won't be going back to outline. Been there, it sucks.
Belgium has the highest suicide rate in Europe, 18 per 100,000 people. Which is almost double
the rate in the U.S. and Canada at 10/100k. Which I never thought of, but you never hear people say "I'm going to Belgium for my holiday." or "You should go to Belgium, it's so beautiful there."
Aside from the fact that the only successful military venture since WW II was in Panama, the U.S. was chased out of Korea, Vietnam, Lebanon, Somalia and is currently in two quagmires in Afghanistan and Iraq. Need I remind you of the current sorry state of politics and social unrest on the domestic front, and the fact that the present administration is being investigated for being bought off by Russia. Even tiny North Korea has been threatening to destroy you. The U.S. doesn't want to start trouble with the only country in the world that doesn't hate you.
There seems to be no end to McTeagle's poetic invention. 'My new cheque book hasn't arrived' was followed up by the brilliantly allegorical 'What's twenty quid to the bloody Midland Bank?' and more recently his prizewinning poem to the Arts Council: 'Can you lend me a thousand quid?'
I might have read your book "I'm Always Complaining But Nobody's Listening". Actually I
downloaded it on bit torrent and made copies for all my friends. Most of them said you should have gotten a real job. Sorry.
Well if you read and understand the 400 page pdf you linked to you're a better man than I. Perhaps you could provide a concise synopsis
of the advantages of the new legislation and how it would benefit the typical internet user.
Eric Schmidt didn't just talk about robot dishwashers last weekend. He also said:
Some fresh sets of eyes would be helpful in tackling security issues and "a new set of brains and talent" is needed.
Schmidt also said getting good at artificial intelligence will be very important to both governments and businesses in the coming years.
He noted there are a huge number of computer scientists coming out of the world's top universities who can provide leadership.
All of which seem much more in line with the prime directive of this site than dishwashers.

I have a feeling that, and let me go out on a limb here, this may not be the last story we see about net neutrality.
Two weeks later it blew up like a freaking Galaxy S7.

As a wise man once said, it's all air.

Here's what I believe (another adage) "There's no free lunch".
Ditto, I'm only pretending to be normal. But I manage to fool most people.
It's an adage. That means I didn't think it up but it is sensible advise.

I don't know, you present yourself as way too normal and well adjusted to be on slashdot.

I don't think she needs your best wishes. According to google, she's worth about $300 million. Now I like her even less.
Never borrow money unless it's for something you can make money with.
Think you lost everyone at Taylor Swift. She's got all the talent and sex appeal of a stick of linguine.

We're talking Canada here. What are they gonna do, slap us to death with their hankies?
Isn't that what you said about Vietnam?
Justin Trudeau's opinion isn't even relevant to most of Canada, but he still forces it on us, anyway....
He's defending net neutrality which I assume we all want, so maybe we should give him a break.

That was fifty years ago. Asking a woman to cook now is like asking a black guy to shine your shoes.
Singapore has the third highest population density in the world. If a few people get run over and killed that's not a bug that's a feature.
