the value is in actual laid wires, there is hardly any service neccicary at all, only the few routers, which could be maintained by the company carrying the connection out of the complex. The type of shafting happens when there is a service thats non-trivial, ie mowing, street-cleaning, etc, or when the homeowners are simply to stupid to fight for their own interests, but if they own the cable this could be trivial.
Everybody is talking this down, and while i see their points, how hard is it really to lay some wires?, people seem to get along with phone cable sewer and water laid for them, they would never go into a place where they had to get it laid themselves, having communities own this will make people realize how much cheeper it can be and how much they have been ripped off. Water and server are both much more expensive things to run and maintain but they generally cost less, amybe even combined than what companies bill as 'high-speed' internet.
Fiber running is cheap and could deliver faster cheaper connections. If it gained a penetration in homes etc, and isps stoped suing and community that tries to run their own network we could end up with 100Mbit connections for $10/month, it wouldnt cost anything more that keeping the phone system going, and builders and developers would do most the real work, and allready in place communities would have to get together and pay for it themselves as a one-time fee.
Also if the FCC wouldnt be so stupid and instead say that the ISPs are common-carriers AND force them to do things like the telcoms have to do with interoperability it could be possible to do that way. But the best really is public-owned fiber in communities, and the big lines owned and operated (cause it competitive, rather than monopolistic) by private companies on bids to hook up communities, countries, and data-centers. We do it with water, and sewer, and where i am (pacific northwest) power, and it works quite well. Also once fiber is draped it will only be simple upgrades of routers and otherwise the bandwidth should be plentiful, (although speeds--not throughput--should still be capped--on another note i was thinking caps are ok if they are infinite rolling, ie you can go fast but once you fill up you rolling limit your speed will slow down to a speed at which you cant possibly use more than your rolling limit, never will you be cut off)
Yep, its a great move, if you had a good reason you can allways turn off the signal, and anyways surface to air missles dont have GPS except for the really expensive ones that only big governments tend to have, they work via heat. With wn.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAAS GPS is VERY accurate and has gaurantees now so its all good
The EU acts as one big blackmail, if you dont join youll be shuned forever, if you join you give pwoer to a larged undemocratic, unregulated (or regulated by unelected insiders) and gve up HUGE amounts of local control.
The EU in held of legally by this massive "constitution" that nobody has read. It basically tries to define as many right as possible simply so the EU can try to dictate on them, and attempts to take power away from the countries in order to divide and conqueror. It has the potential to be a sharp double-edged sword, and lead to a situation like the US where Top government has very little responsibility and is generally a huge burden on the states. The EU needs a seperation of powers between states and the EU like the US constition and needs to defend them.
that bastard Nixon and bastard Regan and bastard Bush, and the other Bush all get states (ie not their money) to house bazillions of inmates on MANDATORY minimum sentences. Mandatory minimums give power to legistators that they are not meant to have and prevent judges from deciding what punishment matches the crimes, regardless of any argument of weather these things should be illegal.
Before the American civil war every company had to get a license from the government simply to exist, and then it was only for a specific limited length of time and for a single purpose: like building a bridge or canel, etc. Companies have more power today than they ever have. Thinking that the government does not have a responsibility to break up monopolies is a crazy, anarchistic idea.
then there would be a customer backlash, would the studios really have the right, or the clout to take away functionality a customer bought? That breaks plenty of contract law and what hardwere manufacture would agree to that type of shit?
science happens when a couple of hobbiest get together and think of something interesting and do it, not when some big company with profits and very short-sighted goals, or huge goverment grants that have to go for 'cancer research' get dumped to whoever can do the most bullshitting.
anybody that needs a large investment to do research goes into that research with such a expectation of what they may get in return that their research can be largely worthless.
Yes, there need to be selected tests to explore ideas, but extravagant tests are usually used when everyone is running out of ideas cause their forgot how to think and are trying to keep their paycheck.
The decision to put Windows on the laptops came about because officials in some countries feared a non-Windows laptop would ill prepare students for the real world, in which Microsoft software dominates.
We run windows because everybody develops for windows.
We develop for windows because everybody runs windows
Don't some people realize they are being shafted with an inferior product, of which they hve no idea the quality of? Also what makes Colombia thing windows is the so dominent, even microsoft uses FreeBSD for mail servers, etc. This is only pure FUD toward these nations.
in biology they call it form meets function.
The EMT spectrum is fundamentally a tool for broadcast, doing point-to-point communication over it is inefficient and stupid, although with the great wealth of the spectrum i certainly to not think it shouldnt be used. Broadcasting on the EMT brings much more to many more people, its what the spectrum is good for and should be protected. Yes, i definately think the digital thing is god and innefficent analog should be completely phased out for every device, but digital devices are much more prone to interfance and should not be tampered with.
Google s full of shit and the FCC is being bough out giving (not selling) another group's alloted spectrum share with no real controls in place. All band need to be alloted by licence and location. Google has allready helped spread spam into every corner of the internet, while claiming no foul, dont clam out broadcasters too.
Nope, the USA (really IT lobbies) has a special deal with the EU where we can use your data as if its in the EU but without the same laws applying. Its called Safe Harbor
We've got our debtors colony too: Georgia. But yeah what you guys are missing is that the crime was being debtors, something that today you would declare bankruptcy to. Although new US banking laws could push America back in the direction of those days in general they were not really criminals in todays since, they just were poor and didn't kiss the rich peoples ass.
in these type of departments all the computer are on all the time anyways and whole-disk encryption is 100% vulnerable to hard-boot attacks. It may be remotely useful on laptops but for desktops its entirely useless
if you want to actually protect your data you need to encrypt only whats sensitive and only mont it when neccicary. also PGP is closed source and what are you going to do if they stop supporting, use truecrypt or LVM, etc. Also dont neglect network protection where the real data is stolen
They are ful of bullshit, unless your encryption isnt skype-style (they hold the key for everything and HAVE given it away to china and potentially others) then your data is generally very secure.
Thats why we need a strong protection of common-carrier, which the FCC said was BS (i cry BS at that). Common carrier is what protects our letters and should protect the internet too
first of all files are long and not transferred as one piece, to do what they want to do your download wouldnt start until the ISP had recieved the entire file, say goodbye to streaming video, say hello to up to double download speed. Plus ISP cant possibly afford such massive, high-speed, buffering to even attempt it. You couldnt do it on disk cause it would sow it down even more, they would have to have rooms of 128GB ram servers that do nothing but hash files.
Also, this could very easily be circumvented. The unloader or P2P programs only have to introduce 1 bit of change and the hash would be differnt, this is why Youtube has to manually take down the same thing a bunch of times.

Stop getting shafted by the ISPs, this is the way

They arnt doing this to stop illegal activities or contraband, they are doing this so they can have a monopoly on telephone services http://mediaresearchhub.ssrc.org/grants/funded-projects/prison-phone-service-provider-contracts-kickbacks-and-fiscal-impact-on-prisoners2019-families
they are just greedy fucks and think they can make shit up, not fallow the rules, and continue to make booku bucks, illegally off their inmates.

not in Microsoft v Netscape
And then sue any city or municipality for "illegal compedition" (what an mouthfull of bs) if it tries to lay its own fiber networks.
