Apples and oranges. Getting rid of neutrality would cement monopolies since it would cost providers of content more to ensure efficient forwarding of their traffic - making startups much more costly/out of reach. This argument isnt key, its irrelevant to the issue of whether or not ISPs charge to optimize ALL services vs. the ones who pay. Regardless, if this idea really is "key" to you personally, then you should definitely support neutrality.
Why does the fella who started Tumblr think hes suddenly part of the IEEE?
We need new ports and cables to support this new fangled standard. (Duh.) Old cables are backwards compatible (score!) but dont work the same as the new (double duh!)
And not to be hypocritical here by thinking my tiny slice of the world is authoritative but I use HDMI over USB-C daily.
Thats terrible. Think "when all fuel has nitro, her job as racecar driving SoS made her game dangerous the moment she built her own racetrack"
Still terrible.
If you KNOW a thing thats classified and type it into a brand new email, is that classified? This is a simple question, and the answer to this whole case...on the surface.
But there is so much more:

When are we going to get bans on data caps? Does the Obama Administration and FCC realize that the very idea of a cap belies the nature of a service which indicates how much data per second they are selling you? Shouldnt my 100 megabits per second be capped at no less than 2,592,000,000,000 bits, a hundred for every second in a 30 day month?
I replied to one of these "YouTube is not a news source" groupie for HRC and it really dawned on me how important the collection, aggregation and the ability to compare and contrast news stories is - really critical if one wants to be well informed at a time when bias and outright lies are being propagated throughout the media.
While we are all assuming this is a hatchet job to get Bernie locked out, these "intermittent firewall drops" could, in fact, be Hillary having arranged for her people to be able to spy on him - but nobody is mentioning that in the news articles.
P.S. 15 years as a network engineer and i still dont know why the press uses the term firewall so loosely. If it was sincerely a layer 3/4 security device, there would be lots of evidence as to exactly what happened - unless logging were disabled. I think in this case they are calling security mechanisms within their db or reporting app a "firewall"
war were declared!!
Yeah the tech is there - an ASIC designed for identifying and dropping suspect traffic (or already marked traffic) on carrier networks is the obvious part. Whats needed is a protocol that can be implemented at layer 3/4 to allow global distribution networks to notify each other and perform wire-speed inspections/drops. Heck, an existing protocol like QoS marking at layer 2 or 3 could be partially leveraged to avoid changes to (already) standardized headers but im sure im about to be told why thats impossible or unsuitable. Someone makes this stuff lavaboy is talking about (or companies like Prolexic just clean your crap for you in real time) but all charge through the roof for it and THATS why we dont have the solution. Freakin a.
Good question, in fact Im just glad I dont play utopia anymore and actually talk to the 100+ msn messenger users with whom I used to game daily or Id be whining about msn too.
For fsx I am referring to a requirement which is no longer available to be completed online, and for newer operating systems (8x) the install dll which is used to generate telephone activation is not discoverable by the software. In order to use this app whilst buying their new OS, at hundreds of dollars in cost between the two, I must engage support.
But both of these scenarios anger me. Sincerely. This isnt just about how MS decides to discontinue one product or doesnt keep other products compatible with all previously released counterparts (while using various maneuvers to compel us to continually upgrade those other products) its about this idea that the software license is not only so much less than any trace of ownership but that its very use can be restricted/disabled at any time.
I would hope that whether I directly make a purchase or indirectly fund a franchise like msn by using a free product that there be some assurances that the software we use never be taken away from us. I thought Skype would bridge that gap - and now this? I get it that app services have a cost and such, but people build social lives, businesses, daily routines into messaging software; and as far as expensive games or other products - they have no labeling that states "this may not work very well in 5-10 years, beware"
I certainly dont expect ownership when I make a software purchase or create an account but if something is going to be only available to me for a limited time I want to know up front. Sure nothing lasts forever but 5, 10, 15 years? Think about the other purchases we make. These time frames are just too short imo.
it only took 7 years before Flight Simulator couldnt be activated properly in newer versions of windows.
Is it time for another discussion of what paying for software means to the development company vs. consumer?

eg. offline - no internet connection - then I wouldnt worry about not having an operating system/software firewall enabled on the 2 systems. Heck, even if you had a linksys giving them shared internet access it could even prevent the RPC worms and stuff from getting in.
The day you start surfing on them or otherwise let the internet in then its horrible practice to go without a good edge firewall on that connection; but if the network is entirely offline I wouldnt worry about it. In the larger networks firewalls are independent devices; we no use software firewalls. Oh no..
Im a little disappointed in these comments! I dont see anyone complaining that a utility is even spending money on this sorta thing, much less a publicly owned utility....did I miss the part where we started enjoying abuses from the mono/duopolies to which we are all conscripted??
From the rich right down to the poorest or poor in our citizenry, we all pay for utilities, one way or another. It could even be argued that the brand of gravy fed the homeless is one slot cheaper because soup kitchens pay these bills too.
Has the world gone mad?? Since when can a public resource use funds in this way? Where is the outrage? Where is the inquisition?
I would even go so far as to say even were this service offered for free of charge to this utility that they are engaging in a cover-up! Fraud! Deceit!
Pitchfork, anyone? Hello? Anyone?
Hats off to google - but not really. This is what they do. This is what I have come to expect from every other ISP until this nonsense with Netflix paying that ridiculous ransom.
These big old companies have been laughing all the way to the bank having sold all these speed tiers and now that we are more fully utilizing the service - and at the expense of their other business divisions - its become a tool of extortion. Instead of optimizing their traffic flows (for the benefit of all) they are holding this simple engineering work as a hostage.
Regional interconnects used to just do this with a service request.
yea, bankers never again stopped giving loans to snatch up cheap real estate anymore....cmon
all due respect, youll need to do a lot more to convince me bankers (and their counterparts in industry and government) have any less control over the proverbial faucet. Scarcity of access to our currency can be engineered in so many more ways in a debt backed system - you listed most of them - than ever before. I dont think its simply about the currency anymore.
ftr, i never liked the idea of bitcoin either

Bernie just said you should get out of politics if youre a coward, he didnt say you had to be anonymous, Mr. Brock. We see everything.
But when you KNOW a thing thats classified and type it INTO a brand NEW EMAIL - whats that? Marked? Its *born* classified.

Ever notice we foil some real doozies? Probably a few kinks to work out.
is that a stat boost in chrony trigger or smth?
that and a real firewall wouldnt intermittently "disappear"

but as a network engineer, this snippet is painful to read. Inaccurate to say the very least.

I count a lot more just on these 2 screens

whoa! the public pays tuition in Virginia! Im so there...
