Most people carry a smartcard that can only pay with money you have at the bank. And negative balance up to half your monthly income can be pretty much free of charge.
That's called a debit card; you can even go over, if you like, and pay an overdraft fee. Those payments are processed by the same people who processes credit cards and you are still being tracked.
You sound like someone who has never created anything and languished in obscurity (and also like an idiot). You should also return to reddit and moan that the world isn't just like you envision there.
Net neutrality is a political question and is about _broadly_ regulating the behaviour of ISPs within a country. It is about censorship and tiered quality of service models. It is also about letting ISPs keep their part of the network in top shape if they wish.
To some extent, the latter is necessary. For example, when bittorrent users saturate the shared capacity on a subnet, other users can suffer. A standard response now is throttling those users.
Oh, you are one of those hypocrites. ``Fucking with the data is NOT okay! The ISP should be a dumb pipe to dump data on! Except the things I don't like, of course!".
Then they don't get paid because it is too easy to do clickfraud. I guess the alternative to that is to give ad networks root access to your server so they can make sure the adscript hasn't been tampered with. Is this acceptable?
Probably almost nothing. If they need to save money on bandwidth, then they need to block torrents, netflix, youtube,.... But an ISP that can't afford bandwidth for a few hundred 100KB images a day is going to be dead soon anyway.
Yeah, they pretty much are. They dream of a world that never was where the internet was a pure and beautiful place with no commercial interest. Then when it comes to paywalls they bitch about handing their CC# over to shady people and\or complain that the internet is becoming a walled-garden. Apparently, the publisher is supposed to pay all the cost of publication and distribution by themselves if they want anyone to read them. It's like getting a free magazine and complaining about the advertisements in them.
And as much as they complain about intrusive ads, they don't want to block only those. A few shady ad networks make a fake download button and put it mediafire so you have to press back and try again to get your warez? BLOX ALL AD NETWORKS OMG SO EVIL Y U DO THIS GOOGLE?
And just why in the fuck does slashdot praise this shit yet complain when ISPes filter other content? If you support this, then you are against net-neutrality.
Both. A narcissist who is unwilling to get famous will never get famous. One who wants fame, power, riches, etc will get famous because he raised an army and plundered a city to get it.
No intelligent person with half a clue takes anonymous posts seriously even when they have merit.
What kind of mindless retard thinks idiots who have to have a name to evaluate an argument are intelligent? Anyone who has gotten better than an F in Philosophy 101 knows what Ad Hominem is, do you?
No one cares that you were doing it to troll. If I go to stormfront and pretend to be a racist, they will accept me as their own. How could I call them stupid for not knowing that I was only pretending? The difference is irrelevant to them. ``If'' (and this is a big if, because obviously, I would never do this) I come to/., flame people, reply mostly to offtopic posts, and generally act like a Negative Nancy, yet by some miracle I somehow have Excellent karma, then there were apparently enough people who agreed with me to mod me up. Does it matter that I am sincere or not when they are evaluating my posts? Not at all.
People can't see inside your fucking mind, so they can judge only on what you say. If in your quest to be the worlds biggers shitposter you happen to posts pure gold, then the fault lies with you, not the people who think you are sincere.
A man killing a bunch of first graders is a fucking problem; a couple of THUG LYFE wannabes (hardly kids anyway) blowing each other away over petty turf wars not unpredictable. Let's be thankful that they killed each other before one of them killed some convenient store clerk over 40$ in the cash register. Fuck Chicago and fuck all those gangsta animals.
I guarantee you that you can get into a typical gun safe in less than five minutes with an angle grinder and a cut-off disk. 75$ at Home Depot, or 150$ at a welding supply store for a big fucker and take even less time.
The entire comment can be summarized as ``Wahh! My guy didn't get elected so the people are morons who don't know anything and are destroying the fabric of society!!!''. If he gets modded troll (rightfully it should be flamebait though), it's because he's an stupid child with a persecution complex. He perfectly presented it though, so people not unlike yourself who are unable to see this crap will mod him to (Score:6, Terrific!).
I don't give a fuck if ``our ability to have relationships with the opposite sex.'' is killed completely. Why should we censor things to maintain public morals? Should we also make sumptuary laws so people don't have perverse thoughts that might cause them to commit adultery and impact their `ability to have relationships with the opposite sex.''?
blah blah blah that's different!
Explain how it's different and why the this Family Morals bullshit needs to be enforced by the government instead of alluding to bullshit, pseudoscience studies done by third-wave ``all sex is rape!'' feminists.

Are you retarded? That is not neutral.
Did you tell your newspaper and\or any magazines that you subscribe to that you want to see ads? No, you have not. Those bastards!
full net neutrality
How is blocking ads net neutrality?

Websites are not grocery stores (that should be apparent). This is more like a store ripping the ads out of a newspaper for you before sale.

I agree. Also, Mark Twain was a coward and a hack.

That's real fucking neat-o.
Dear God, you are also a raging lunatic too. Take some of your anti-psychotic dope and go to bed, crazy man.
This is not a MAD scenario. Your argument is invalid.
THAT"s what I blame you for.
I do not care.
As you have a high UID, and since /. is, of course, stagnant, it is only fair that I let everyone know that you are a mere sockpuppet account.
Because they own them, and it's none of your fucking business what reasons they have, you fucking control freak.
Go fuck yourself.

Have you considered that the fault doesn't lie with C++, but that you might just be a shitty programmer?
