These networks—particularly full fiber-optic networks—are natural monopolies. There is no natural “market” any more than one could imagine a competitive market in streets or metro airports. This is infrastructure—the foundation for many other markets.
Cable is a demonized industry. Please note that phone and wireless companies also fight fiber roll outs. The article you linked to had a link about another fiber fight in Monticello,MN where the fight was with the local phone company.
The cable company (whichever yours is) has direct competition from multiple satellite TV companies in every market they service. The Sat-TV companies do not pay a franchise fee. They do not pay local taxes. They do not provide free service to public city buildings like schools and fire stations. Fighting multiple competitors for TV customers, phone customers and, in most locations, data customers makes it very hard for two cable companies to run parallel lines and infrastructure and fight both each other and all the rest of the pack mentioned above. You don't see cable companies fighting in the same market because they both lose and only sattelite and phone companies win.
On the other hand Cox and NCTC were evil in that story you provided a link to. No doubt about it. But private industry often gets its panties in a bunch when the state attempts to nationalize their business. Personally, I am a socialist so I love what that city did. Fuck Cox Cable.
All I am getting at is that cable gets lied about. Now it gets a bad rap for things it has done. But is also gets a bad rap for things that are patently untrue. The lies are perpetuated by opponents and often by well meaning but uninformed people. Even your response made it appear that cable was the sole cause of municipal fiber bans when the reality is far more complex. It is fashionable to hate utilities, but cable gets a far worse rap than it deserves.
The reason I am asking is that exclusive cable TV franchise agreements we made illegal on a federal level in the USA with the Telecommunications Act of 1996. While I do appreciate your outrage about exclusive franchise agreements, I would appreciate the outrage more if the thing which you are outraged about was real.
Q: Do you know what pisses me off more than exclusive franchise agreements?
A: Uninformed people that spread lies.
Comcast certainly has a franchise agreement (for easement rights and such). It is, just as certainly, not exclusive.
The devil is in the details my friend. I said his comment was that of an asshat. I attacked the comment not the person. Although, I am afraid it seems that the problem is English itself. For instance, while you and I may or may not be friends, you are never mine. "My friends" are really people with whom I am friends and not in fact friends that I own. I believe most of the problems in the world stem from the fundamental inadequacies of our languages. Come on, we know that everything is changing, moving, growing, decaying. Nouns are a falsehood. Everything is a verb. You can never stand in the same river twice and the world is a burning house.
I would like to make one last note about the emotional tone of my post. Anger, rage, hatred. The dark side of the force. Why am I so angry? Because the theatres are full of films that appeal to the lowest common denominator. The CPU tech evolves in the direction of tradition and not innovation. The text in news papers and verbage on the nightly news is dumbed down to a sixth grade reading level so as not to alienate any of the audience. That infuriates me. And when I see an asshat comment, I lash out. Again, at the comment, not the person.
There is a big difference between: "You are an asshat." and: "I feel like your actions are asshattish."
There I have extended English to include a new adjective "asshattish". At least it was not another fucking noun. (And how do you hope to reason with a man that hates a part of speech.)
And you are right of course. My tone is not conducive to understanding and good communication. My apologies to Turbudostato.
I shit you not, my mod point expire and then I see this post that needs an insightful mod.
In 1995 there was the beautiful CPU called the Alpha. It was faster than anything offered by Intel. It was RISC and not CISC. It didn't boot into 16-bit mode and then require the OS to do work to access 32 bit registers. It was a 64 bit CPU when all the Intel and AMD processors were 32. It had 32 registers for both floating point and integer arithmetic. That is 64 registers for data, people. Even today's Intel CPUs don't have a data register count like that. It was a shining example of a beautiful CPU that was not based on old tech and trying to be compatible with something from 1981. It was good. It was right. It was the furture. It was the best, fastest general purpose CPU on the fucking planet.
And what happened? That is right! It fucking died because Intel's crappy Pentium had all the market share and there was no volume on Alpha sales. The monopoly's shit tech won and the better CPU disappeared down the hole. Mature, "stablished" means good-old-boy in the context. In the tech world, we pick tech because it works better, not because it is the kind your daddy used back in the day. Your comment is that of an asshat, turbidastato, an asshat.
Randomluser, thank you for wisdom to the unwashed massed of Intel ass-lickers. LONG LIVE THE ALPHA! GET OFF OF MY LAWN!!!
Ah, yes. The carbide lantern. Which carbide? Answer: calcium carbide
And how does it work? Well, you put it into water which is inside of a copper lamp and one of the the resultant compounds is a gas named acetylene which you light on fire as it squirts from an opening in your lamp. The burning acetylene is the light for you to coal mine by.
I have my grandfather's carbide lantern. Can you imagine being a coal miner? Can you imagine being a coal miner with an open flame on your head your whole work day?
To deal with the 10,000 years of dark age to follow the end of this Empire, I propose the creation of two repositories of all human knowledge at opposite ends of the galaxy. One on the resource starved planet of Terminus and the other at "Star's End".
And unless we get some sort of mind control mutant that rises to power during this interim, this should solve the problem nicely. Now, where is my calculator?
In college, my freshman year roommate was Indian. India has a wonderful educational system left over from British colonial rule (if you are rich enough to send your children).
Q:How does this fit in? A: My roommate spoken English English and not the shit that Americans call English.
This leads us to the first day of class and I am coming back to the dorm and smoking a cigarette which is something my roommate had yet to see me do. As I walk up to Dushie (his nickname) and his friends he loudly calls out to me over the 20 or so meters I have yet to cover, "What are you doing with that fag hanging out of your mouth?" I stopped and looked around to see what he was referring to because, after all, this was college . . .
Can it predict when we will get a minority report? Can it predict when a story will be so corrupted that there is no minority report in a movie called "Minority Report"?
As a person that worked at an ISP in Customer Service berfore getting a paying programming job, I can say there is also the problem of an uneducated consumer base. The rate we advertised was 10 Mbps. Now, I will ask you to note the lower case letter "b" in Mbps.
"Mbps" mean megabits per seconds. That is bits not bytes. Now this is Slashdot and we all know the difference. This a paraphrasing of an actual customer interaction:
Customer: I am only getting 1.25 megabytes per second on my download according to the speed test I just ran. Me: Yes, sir. I need to point out that you gave the speed in megabytes and line speeds are quoted in bits not bytes. 1.25 megabytes is equal to 10 megabits, which is the advertised speed. Customer: No, it's not. Me: Pardon me? What is not? Customer: Your promised speed is 10 megabytes a second. Me: No, sir. It is megabits. Customer: Megabits and megabytes are the same thing. Me: I do apologize for disagreeing with you, but there are eight bits to a byte and 10 Mbps is equal to 1.25 MBps. Customer: What are you talking about? Listen, loser, you need to get a tech out here to fix this. Me: But, sir, as I have already tried to explain, you are getting the advertised speed. Customer: Don't you lie to me! I want to talk to your manager!
And don't even ask me about the racists that called to demand we remove BET from our cable line up when we added it . . .
Another Fat PS3 owner here. Updating went smoothly for me, also.
I did get the March 1st PSN bug, however on 3/2 at 12:01 am it was working again so the impact of the bug was no online gaming from 5 pm on 3/1 to 11:59 pm the same day.
Now all my friends have Xboxes. I would not buy one for two reasons. First, I vote with my purchasing power. Microsoft gets as little of my cash as possible while still making a living with computers. (Meaning, I bought Windows XP Pro for my home built PC.) The second reason I didn't buy it was because I wanted the best console and Sony had it. A Cell! A fucking Cell processor!!! Why would anyone buy anything else? It would be like having the option of rocket shoes and regular shoes and I was the only one that wanted the rockets. The mind boggles . . .
Now, those Xbox friends have had nothing but troubles. Media servers that the Xbox stopped seeing. Batteries dying in the middle of a game and no fresh batteries in the house (PS3 comes with rechargable wireless controllers as standard and you can use them wired as they charge with a standard USB cable.) And don't get me started on DVD drive failures and the RRoD. I also love when I hear, "I cannot play online because I haven't paid my Xbox Live bill." I am so glad I don't have the mess that is the 360.
But they think I am a fool for getting the console that "no one else has" and that has fewer games. But both of those issues come down to marketing and the timing of the respective console releases and nothing to do with the quality of the hardware. That is the saddest part of it for me. The best console lost because everyone wanted to be able to play together and MS launched their console first. Some of us already has the 360 so the others "joined". Fuckin' joiners, I hate joiners like Indian Jones hates Nazis.
Besides 7 hours of lost online gaming time, during which I played offline but on the PS3, it has always just worked.
Now, I love me some Linux. I really do. It is one shining example of the goodness of mankind. I have a dedicated hardware firewall, a laptop, a server and a desktop in my home. They all run Linux. Yet, when I upgrade the hard drive in the PS3 (which was done with a phillips screwdriver and no other tools in 5 minutes and didn't void my warranty) I set aside 20 gigs for "Other OS". And you know, I never did install Linux. I didn't need it. Everything else is running it already and the PS3 had other duties (HD movies and gaming).
I am a Linux fanboy and I could care less for the loss of "Other OS". Sony has twice supported homebrew in their consoles and deserve thanks for that. It is being removed to protect the PS3 ecosystem for the developers of content for the PS3. Nothing hard to understand about that. If only they weren't alone in their open-mindedness (hint hint, MS and Nintendo).
This update did not brick my PS3. This article is FUD as far as I can tell. I continue to thank Sony for their fine product. I continue to enjoy it (almost) daily.
In America, greed is a game. Sure, Gates, Buffet and rich asshole #1 have money.
Question: Did they earn it?
Answer: No. They played a game well and have received a cash prize.
No man does 53 billion dollar of work. He games the system so the incremental profits of the workers at the bottom of the pyramid trickle up into his pockets.
If you disagree, you are wrong. The truth in the paragraph above is undeniable by clear-minded, rational people. However, fear of socialism fueled the Cold War, was the justification of the US war in Viet Nam, the US funding and training of death squad in Nicaragua, and is the rational for the current Cuba embargo. Oh, and fear of socialism is the primary undercurrent to keep healthcare in America as a luxury only the wealthy can afford.
America is a fucked up mess. Capitalism is a fallacy.
In my case, they block YouTube with a bogus DNS resolution. Internal DNS gives a intranet IP address (which gives a default intranet page) and my home server DNS gives the correct IP address(es). I tested this again, just now, and YouTube only works for me with that setting ("network.proxy.socks_remote_dns" as true) and is blocked if it is changed to false (which I believe is the default).
I am using Firefox version 3.5.8, 32-bit, for x86.
It seems, within Firefox itself, that your DNS queries with SOCKS 5 proxies still use the system default DNS and not the proxy DNS, but I could not say for sure without testing your machine. In my case, I am certain that Firefox is using the system DNS unless I change this setting from its default in Firefox. (I am certain because I just tested it 5 minutes ago.) Also, YouTube works without a proxy if I use the OpenDNS.org DNS servers in my Windows TCP/IP settings. (But then no intranet DNS queries work because OpenDNS knows nothing of our 10.*.*.* intranet.)
Again, I am only speculating, but please consider than your DNS queries are not being proxied and are evidence of where you surf even if your traffic is SSHed.
A final note, when I am really feeling paranoid about my surfing there is the AES 256-bit loopback block device that hold a Linux install on the work laptop. That way, there is no browser history to be searched by corporate. Hell, there is no Linux to be found; it looks like a whole partition of garbage without the decryption keys. It won't boot without them. However, I am developing for Windows on Windows, so the Linux boots are a rarity these days.
I am reading this article and posting to it through a ssh tunnel using OpenSSH on a Gentoo Linux server at home and putty.exe on a work laptop running XP Pro at work.
Firefox sees it as a SOCKS 5 proxy at localhost. The tricky part was setting the config key in Firefox called "network.proxy.socks_remote_dns" to true. (Navigate to about:config and filter for "proxy" to find this setting quickly). The corporate network admins use bogus DNS resolution as a firewall.
But I remember his points because you highlighted his post and gave your opinion about how valid you thought each point was.
She/He provided great content and you gave addition meta-information of reasonable quality.
As far as your criticism of his progressive frustration and the value of his emotions, I feel differently.
I have feelings. And this is a place were many parts of our human experiences are shared.
I find her/his feelings to be just as important as his ideas. But this too is simply perspective.
There are far more sensory signals, and ideas, at play in our lives for us to pay attention to them all.
We all tune in to different things. To quote The Dude: "That's like . . ..your opinion, man."
Bees don't live in anthills, they live in beehives. Ants don't live in beehives they live in anthills. Humans build cities, ants build anthills and bees make beehives. Most of humans live in the human anthills (cities) these days . ..
I am making the point that we stopped being herd/pack animals and became a hive animal when we stopped being migrant, started farming and living in cites. If you don't like this, you are several millennia too late. Humans are now a hive animals. You already live in the beehive.
"Now that," Case said to his glass, all his bitterness suddenly rising in him like bile, "that is so much bullshit."
The DOD pays Halliburton to do its job for it. At a much higher rate that the DoD would have spent doing it.
This comment you responded to is critical of Halliburton, and its shareholders, MAKING A PROFIT, doing the DoD's job for it, and not the military in general.
Federal minimum wage is $7.25/hr or $14,500 a year. I call bullshit on you, sir (or madame). Show me a job listing for a military role that pays only $14,500 a year. Wait! I did check for you. An E-1 (lowest pay-grade) makes $16,794 a year. And no one stays an E-1. And that doesn't include any combat pay AT ALL. Now, go eat crow and allow us to continue to question authority.
The NSA, CIA or FBI made the backdoor. And then forced Microsoft to include it in the final build of the OS. Microsoft is technically telling the truth.

No Census taker should ever enter your home as part of their job. They do the job from the doorway. Here is the reference:

If one does ask to enter your home, close the door in their face and call the police (or get your shuriken, whatever applies to you).
No, she isn't.

The DOD pays Halliburton to do its job for it. At a much higher rate that the DoD would have spent doing it.

Federal minimum wage is $7.25/hr or $14,500 a year. I call bullshit on you, sir (or madame). Show me a job listing for a military role that pays only $14,500 a year. Wait! I did check for you. An E-1 (lowest pay-grade) makes $16,794 a year. And no one stays an E-1. And that doesn't include any combat pay AT ALL. Now, go eat crow and allow us to continue to question authority.

The NSA, CIA or FBI made the backdoor. And then forced Microsoft to include it in the final build of the OS. Microsoft is technically telling the truth.
