A: If the ISP is good, they have an opt-out to a non-wildcarding DNS server.
If the ISP is good, their wildcarding DNS server will be opt-IN.
B: If the ISP is not, I hate to say it but use Google Public DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4), as they don't wildcard or do anything beyond use the DNS information for data-mining purposes.
Q: What is to stop your ISP from redirecting all outgoing packets to port 53 to their own DNS server?
My ISP (Time Warner) will not sell me a business connection because my house is zoned residential. I would gladly pay the extra money for better upload speeds, a better modem, a static IP address, a better service contract, and an account rep who I can call when my service is not functioning.
PowerPoint exposes how stupid we already are. It shows that we have a swirling mess of semi-interconnected ideas and when we try to convey them, all we can produce is a swirling mess of semi-interconnected slides.
I apologize for my pronoun misuse and my unfair generalizations.
I should have wrote "Those currently wielding the power in the federal government of the United States".
If the people actually had a choice in how much to spend on government every year, the US government would be 1/10 the size it is today,
They do have a choice. They could vote for candidates that would decrease spending. But a vast majority of them either do not vote or vote for candidates with voting records on the matter and candidates aligning themselves with parties with voting records on the matter.
The US does not want to build nuclear weapons that can only be used defensively (for political reasons), and therefore which act primarily as a deterrent. It wants to build weapons that can be used now.
The US does not only want other countries to be scared to attack the US; it wants other countries to be scared not to do what the US wants them to, as the US may attack tomorrow.
You forget that the cable companies are the ISPs. They would either raise their ISP rates so it would be just as profitable for them for you to get your shows through the Internet band as through the cable TV band or they would block Hulu.
Every time there is an article related to pornography there are dozens of posts along the lines of "ZOMG BOOBIES!!!" attempting to portray those who want to block pornography as fragile people who think the sight of female breasts will ruin children.
There are perfectly reasonable people who have no problem with children seeing Venus de Milo, breastfeeding mothers, or people sunbathing nude, but want to prevent children from seeing pornography.

A: Nothing. And some do.

Fair is not necessarily legal.
It does not cost the end user anything.
No, PowerPoint does not make us stupid.

Cars are expensive. Houses are expensive. Sewer systems are expensive. Lawsuits are expensive. Your body is irreplaceable.

Why do you think the US is going to invade Iran before they build nuclear weapons?
I am referring to those currently in power and those who voted for them. See this post.

Just like with Cable TV.

Are you capable of distinguishing between a real and fake cashier's check?
I know I'm not.
So you do not have to have your own credit card swiping machine and an account with a processor to sell something on craigslist.
Some people still have those "leftover" Christian morals.
Graphic violence is not supposed to make you want to be violent.
Pornography is supposed to make you want sex.

Wanting to prevent your children from seeing pornography and wanting to prevent your children from seeing breasts are two completely different things.
I had a Motorola mobile phone that drained faster while off than it did while on. It could just be poor design or corrosion.
The dumber the jurors, the more it comes down to who can afford the best lawyer.
What 12 guys in a room decide they collectively think happened has no bearing whatsoever on what actually happened.
It would have been interesting to do the study for two different groups - those who eat fast food and those who do not.
Baseball.

Pick two.
If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him.
