  3. Re:Missed the easiest on 8 Ways To Circumvent the PROTECT-IP Act · · Score: 1

    Well running your own server means most results will be from other dns servers so you will get the censored results one way or another.

  4. 16billion in loses? on ISPs Will Now Be Copyright Cops · · Score: 5, Informative

  5. Re:No brainer on No Set-Top TV Device Market Domination For Google · · Score: 1

    amazon has it for 250 minus 25$ so 225, logitech has it on their store for 250 so not sure where you see 200. Roku is straight online only, it last i checked only supported mp4 and avi for local media. Which i have ton's of mkv files that roku won't play I mean terabytes of them. As for apple tv, i straight up dislike apple for to many reasons to list on any webpage, but fact their machine less they upgraded it since i last seen was 720p max and you have to rent what ever you wanted to watch and that rental was daily only better off with getting a media player with netflix or something.

  6. 250 is little much on No Set-Top TV Device Market Domination For Google · · Score: 2

    I haven't used it so can't say how much streaming options it has but being new and late to the game they should put it at 200 or even 150. to try to fight popcorn hour and boxee box that have been out for a while

  7. lack expertise? on Security Consultants Warn About PROTECT-IP Act · · Score: 1

    "A statement by the MPAA disputes these claims, arguing that typical users lack the expertise to select a different DNS server and that the Internet must not be allowed to 'decay into a lawless Wild West." if you type in google for example "how to change dns servers" how many tutorials will come back with exactly How to change them? Just cause some people are not smartest people in the world with a computer there is always an article or tutorials out there written in the "how to for dummies" way.

  8. Re:Nickle and dimed to death on Netflix Announces Streaming Only Plans and Higher Prices for DVDs · · Score: 1

    18$ is only if you want both streaming and dvd by mail, look at from their side, shipping the dvd's to you is not free throw on top of that licensing costs they are probably not making much either.

  13. Re:Hilarious on China Calls US Culprit In Global 'Internet War' · · Score: -1, Troll

    My home connection, I will see random connection attempts on the default SSH ports, and i am sure its same for mostly everyone here and its pretty easy to guess where the server is located doing 99% of the attempt's. When you look back they even hijacked the internet and forced routing through their country so its not hard to believe they are Full of S and trgin to shift blame.

  14. Re:Limited number of simultaneous connections? on Tennessee Makes it Illegal To Share Your Netflix Password · · Score: 1
