My hatred of Skype is second only to that of One Drive. Though I've somehow maintained a $10 account balance on Skype by logging in once every couple of years.
This is worth a read. "Corporate Media Gatekeepers Protect Western 1% From Panama Leak"
It explains the methodology used in searching the documents.

I think making it illegal will be difficult. I look at it as reinforcing our need for good news/information sources so we can hopefully see through the bull shit. Unfortunately as we see a rise in propaganda and "AstroTurfing" we are also seeing the demise of independent quality news media. Very scary that these monolithic companies are also the ones that bring most of us the news. When we can't even determine that "Cable Companies Use Astroturfing To Fight Net Neutrality" because no one reports on it, and the reporting simply reflects these corporations stance on issues, then our democracy will really be kaput.
Because your hangups are so profound you would probably have a breakdown before being able to serve on this evil government committee?
This is an inane argument. It makes me angry. This attitude weakens democracy. It reminds me of people that have never voted but bitch about their elected officials.
The post office is irrelevant?
What the fuck?
Giving the government control just means you've given whomever has control the power of the government.
Did they teach you that in civics class? I am pretty confident that the USPS and my municipal ISP are not "out to get me". In fact I am fairly confident that the majority of the people elected to the muni are good people with a sense of civil responsibility (i.e. public servants). Are there some bad eggs? Sure. The fact is we can still hold government more accountable than a Fortune 500 company. I own stock in my government, not Comcast
Maybe you should get some help. Can you show me on this doll where the government touched you?
Thomas Sowell also said, "'Global warming' is just the latest in a long line of hysterical crusades to which we seem to be increasingly susceptible."
Welfare encourages people to fail. Regulation is a perversion. The world we live in is a cornucopia. Government is bad, Immunizations cause autism. My perspectives are shaped by an open mind, travel, dialogue, and experience, not fear and ignorance. The earth is flat.
I play the game EVE online which has a large population of Russian speaking players. This has let me participate in a number of conversations with individuals living in Russia and the Ukraine. I don't think I would otherwise have had this opportunity. It has been fascinating to hear peoples perspectives. I just found this interesting.
Video or it didn't happen. Or how about even a photograph? Something better than the blurred crap on top of that article this posts links to redundantly.
My thoughts exactly. Uninformative crap post. Suppose this is "shocking" news if you are not familiar with Quebec's history and language / culture laws. Really just seems like enforcement of existing laws,
Notice how the article does not use the word "utility" any place? Guessing that didn't fit well into this dribble of an op-ed. "Net Capacity"... gag me... sounds like focus group tested. "Focus on Net Capacity, Not Net Neutrality"... Did Frank Luntz contribute to this fluff too?
Not even sure it would help not knowing how this exploit works, but I've tended to disable all plugins from running on page load, rather on demand when I click. Similar to NoScript/FlashBlock addons. You can then whitelist the sites that you want to allow have flash on load. http://lifehacker.com/5685352/...
Wonder what percentage of exploits center around Flash / Acrobat. Thanks Adobe! If your not tricking me into installing unwanted toolbars your exposing my computer to malicious twats.
I took issue with Progressive when they suggested I place their device on my car. I switched to Gieco as a direct result. Who wrote this anyway, that Flo lady? Hope others also object and change insurance providers. This is too invasive as far as I am concerned.
I wonder about privacy concerns. For staff and what not I think name based email addresses make sense. When it comes to students though I would imagine some of them will want to use the email address in association with sites/services where there email address, should ideally, not uniquely identify them. Maybe this is not a valid point as in this day and age most people will have at least one gmail or yahoo account already. If given the option to choose a username I wonder how many people will select something based of their name anyway,

Wait, I'll loose my Freecell score?
Stick to what you know I suppose. Maybe next we will see Bose illustrate how data can be transferred by sound waves...

So by your non sequitur argument... We don't need regulation of the Internet. The problem is that the major ISPs represent monopolies.
If only we had some way to break up these monopolies.or... oh wait, that would be regulation.

I am saying "less is more". Or do you think 2.5k pages of Affordable Care Act + 10k pages of follow-on regulatory suppository is a Good Time?
Is this homeopathic economics?
Consumer heal thyself...
I assumed this was tied to low natural gas costs in the US...Buy out coal power plants, convert them to natural gas, frac, frac, frac, profit.
You can't cure stupid... ...sadly the greatest minds and resources where focused on conquering hair loss and prolonging erections.

Was thinking that too.. A parallel though... In the States our "Miranda" rights can also be void in cases of "public safety".
Sounds like they violated his "Miranda" rights...

Only MMORPG I play these days is EVE Online. I enjoy the game and the community behind it and think it stands out from other MMOs.

Totally, love the 'click to play' option. Can avoid drive-bys and many obnoxiousness ads. There is really no down side to using this setting.
I assume Roald Dahl got mailed a check?
