My client is not thin though. I run the window manager, browser, mail client, IM application, SQL application, and a few other programs on the desktop, and use ssh -X and sshfs to do my development work on the VM.
I have tried running everything on the VM via XDMCP, VNC, and NX, but it is just too slow anywhere but on the LAN. Until I have a 100Mb connection to my house (instead of the 2Mb/384Kb connection with 50ms ping times to google.com I currently shell out $55/mo for) the thin client does not work.
Very strict regulation on price and service for building and operating the last mile to a data center. Allow any ISP to provide your service by picking up your connection at the data center.
Option 2:
Let anybody put up wires anywhere. Add an organization find out and deal with when one company "accidentally" cuts another company's wire.
Option 3:
Allocate enough spectrum for many wireless ISPs to operate in an area.
When will you believe we are ready for some simple regulation prohibiting ISPs from discriminating against your IP traffic based on destination or content?
When your ISP demands more money from a website that you subscribe to, and that site raises its rates a month later?
When your ISP intercepts your DNS requests and returns incorrect responses?
When your ISP throttles your encrypted traffic?
When your ISP demands more money from you so your traffic is not discriminated against?
Version 3 has one fatal flaw. It requires password authentication, and cannot do public key authn. If version 4 addresses this, I'd pay for it.

Then stop using HTML/CSS/JavaScript for applications and use Java Web Start. Write in Java, Ruby (JRuby), Python (JPython), Scala, or JavaScript (Rhino).
I thought alpha meant the feature set and API are not stable, beta meant the feature set and API are stable but there are release-critical bugs, and final meant that there are no more release-critical bugs?
The game companies probably also prefer N players in N locations on N consoles to N players in 1 location on N consoles, because there is less of a chance of them deciding to go do something other than play video games.
Right. And then people come out of college with post-graduate CS degrees and get jobs at companies that develop business applications, and they have no idea how to write a simple MVC application.
So what? What if I want a book about something that I am interested in, but do not need to be an authority on. Let's say I want to read an overview of Civil War battles. Wikipedia is fine for that.
Probably by the advertisers. Time selects the Person of the Year based on how much advertising money they can get for the issue, not based on the person's impact on the world. Advertisers want theirs ads opposite stories about stuff people like, not opposite stories about exposing how corrupt governments are.
Working in the industry, you only heard from those who thought it was the ISP's fault. If you worked at Netflix, you would hear from all the people who think it is Netflix's fault.
And nothing will convince them otherwise.
That is the problem. Users have made up their minds, and evidence is meaningless to them. Thus, it is a PR battle, not a technical battle.
You would think so, but the average user does not think that. The average user thinks "My YouTube videos of cats stream just fine, but Netflix does not. It must be Netflix's fault."

My development environment is a Xen VM or two.
My client is not thin though. I run the window manager, browser, mail client, IM application, SQL application, and a few other programs on the desktop, and use ssh -X and sshfs to do my development work on the VM.

I said nothing about the government controlling the network, nor did I say any of those things happened.
The regulations should be a few sentences simply stating that an ISP can not discriminate based on content nor destination.
Regulation is not necessarily government control.
Option 1:
Very strict regulation on price and service for building and operating the last mile to a data center. Allow any ISP to provide your service by picking up your connection at the data center.
Option 2:
Let anybody put up wires anywhere. Add an organization find out and deal with when one company "accidentally" cuts another company's wire.
Option 3:
Allocate enough spectrum for many wireless ISPs to operate in an area.
Option 4 (current):
Monopoly or oligopoly with price fixing.
Take your pick.

Where is the line?
Lowest bidder only maximizing profit for shareholder.
Incumbent official only maximizing donations to reelection campaigns.
I do not see much difference.
The only winning move is not to play.
We are to a point that whoever controls the military controls the country. We are one step away from dictatorship.
This is why states should have militias.
The right to bear arms is to protect yourself from the government, not from the riffraff.
Regardless of whether it works or not in this day and age, that is the reason for the right.
I pay in chickens.
If anybody could get it, the people who buy iPads would not want it.
No, but X will be the year of poorly written and poorly researched trade magazine articles about Y.
Maybe someday everybody driving 3000 pound vehicles in public places will be obsolete.

We are the stupid victims. We have been conned into voting for those who work against us to take our money and liberty.

Colleges need to push Software Engineering.
Debian itself blocks the bad keys.

I recall reading that there was a backlash when they chose Hitler in 39 and Stalin in 42.
