I've had Lynx on my phone for a long time now...I would like a text-only browser that's more user-friendly (as in, more "normal") and maybe tries to make the layout match the rendered HTML more closely than Lynx though. For example Lynx shows a lot of menus as trees with different levels of indentation. There's no reason a pop-up menu system couldn't work in a CLI.
Well look at it this way, with net neutrality your upstream home connection may be slow but the traffic would be as "important" as anything else - with a tiered Internet, upstream home traffic would be put in the Internet infrastructure's leper colony. Unless it's streaming video over Skype or something "important" (run by people who make deals with ISPs).
Preinstalled Windows is only cheaper than separate copies of Windows because MS decides to price it lower - precisely to perpetuate its use as a lock-in mechanism. So your price argument is a circular one.
Tires and cars is partly a decent analogy because there are similar bundling deals used with new cars, but there are a couple of big differences - there isn't a convicted monopolist behemoth tire manufacturer dominating the market with a more expensive and arguably inferior product that's bundled with virtually all cars, and not only do most people not drive their car on the factory-fitted tires for the vehicle's entire life, but they'll be forced to change them early in the car's life.
In fact if I was buying a car, I'd love to have the option to choose some Kumho SPTs or maybe even Dunlop Z2s over the bargain-bin all-seasons or slippery eco-tires that most cars come with.
I think virtually any muppet could run a multi-billion dollar company. I'd say literally more than half of the Average Joes out their could replace a CEO in their field of expertise and the company would do just as well. CEOs aren't special, some of them are hilariously incompetent - they belong in the other half of the Average Joes.
The enviro-fascists who want to enact change through government fiat are going to enrich the elite at the expense of the rest of us.
And guess what the status quo is doing?
This is an economic problem, not an environmental policy problem. The only difference is that you'll be enriching a different set of fatcats and you'll get a cleaner environment out of it, instead of subsidizing the usual set of fatcats with the planet itself.
A major theme of Nazism was "Aryan" superiority, that's not something you could miss. They ran a freaking breeding program to give birth to more "pure white" babies for crying out loud. They also thought other races posed a threat, but they had white supremacist thing going on for sure.
The Confederacy did as well, but it wasn't anywhere near as in-your-face as in Nazism.
It takes someone with a severe persecution complex to do things like the Holocaust or Jim Crow laws, and that can very easily coexist with perceived supremacy - in fact throughout history the most powerful groups usually have severe persecution complexes, strangely enough.
If you build a useful and clever thing you will go out of business like Palm, Nokia etc. If you build a stupid-ass thing you will make millions like Yo, GroupOn, Twitter etc. So by intentionally building a very dumb thing he is on the path to success.
Bell Labs simply sat on many of their discoveries for decades because while they were clearly useful, they had this paranoid idea that anything that could let people use phones differently was a threat to their profits.
I'll be sure to break the bad news to astronomers (do they save the raw analog data stream from each receiver? At what resolution?), geologists (do they store every core they ever take? Every seismograph reading?) and physicists (you know the many terabytes of data the LHC produces every day? That's just one thousandth of the raw data, most of which is filtered off and never stored).
You moved the goalposts, you're the first in this thread to ask for raw data, as in unadjusted daily (not monthly) values. That's gigabytes of data you're asking for which may not exist anymore - the climate models almost certainly don't use daily values after all, that's probably useful for a local weather report but unnecessarily fine-grained for long-term climate predictions.
And couldn't unadjusted values cause errors due to the urban heat island effect? That was all the rage among "skeptics" in the early/mid-2000s.

This. Basically the same thing with different wording and the blame shifted to the consumer. Sadly some may fall for this.

And now that all our objections have been duly noted, they'll go ahead and end net neutrality anyway.
I guess IDCLIP toggles the wireless capability...
My data center is completely safe against tigers. It's due to the construction materials used but I can't go into any detail.
As bundled crapware.

You all need to learn to enjoy the sweet delicious lulz, and show your appreciation by laughing while they curse!
International police? No, this is a job for the CYBER POLICE!
You should point them to the proper authorities and tell them you'll be waiting with your wrists out :-D
It's like this news is from some weird alternate universe where we don't throw all logic and reason under the profit bus.

Don't blame the fallout of Germany's reduction in nuclear energy on an increase in renewable energy.

Yep but Poland, Mexico and Russia apparently don't have a formal "lobbying" system to make these bribes legal. That's the difference you see.
Yep, they should call this The Ecclestone Maneuver.

GATTACA becomes a little less plausible!
But what of this story?

No, my point is that it's not very useful as a life extension technology as TFS suggests.
At some point, your memory will be so bad that it will be a nasty surprise every time!
