  1. This is why copyright deserves no respect on Nest Reminds Customers That Ownership Isn't What It Used To Be (eff.org) · · Score: 2

    Business is too one sided. The buyers need to be much more assertive regarding their rights. When a company abandons a product, they should not be allowed to have any rights over it. It all has to be put into the public domain. If we don't demand it, then we will continue to suffer.

    Specifically a line of batteries...

  3. Re:Tinder is not a dating app. on New Website Lets Anyone Spy on Tinder Users (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Is there a difference? I mean, isn't dating more than just fine dining on Hollywood Boulevard?

    "THE INTERNET IS DOWN!! THE INTERNET IS DOWN!!"

    Yeah, well, with three strikes, it will be in your house. Service provision is conveniently accomplished through a small number of big corporations that will be more than happy to flip the switch and turn off your internet.

    And Kaspersky's use of an adware site (softonic.com) to download their software is not helping any.

    Then we just have to turn it around and spy on them and air their dirty laundry. As long as they don't have the advantage, it's all good.

    Let's hope we can learn to route around them in the next year

  8. Re: Circumvent the providers' lack of cooperation on FCC's 'Nutrition Labels' For Broadband Show Speed, Caps, and Hidden Fees (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Those agreements have to be nullified. The feds can take precedence.

  10. Circumvent the providers' lack of cooperation on FCC's 'Nutrition Labels' For Broadband Show Speed, Caps, and Hidden Fees (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Let the FCC use customer experience to do the labeling. It's precisely the kind of repository of info we need when choosing a service. Something like a "Consumer Report", if you will. And while they are at it, they need to prohibit exclusive contracts that suppress competition.

    We do have a good, although quite overcrowded, mass transit system.

    Step by step... You shouldn't be so close-minded. Please avoid spreading that defeatist propaganda that you have been so conditioned to accept.

    Yeah, and prostitution is only illegal, because it competes with the state's offering.... of marriage

    Prohibition isn't about competing against the state, it's about competing against the Mob. Prohibition is a gangster's paradise.

    Um, you do understand that Europe is still at *war* with Russia, right? (Whaddya think the oil dump is about?) We're just helping out a friend. If there is a failure, it is one of containment. Some of the rats escaped from the lab.
