That Greenland wants to be 'liberated'? All we have here is another reason to abandon DNS, or at last find a way to make local name caching more feasible. After all, this is the internet. It's supposed to be robust, able to circumvent all blockages.
Do you honestly believe that the state and the feds are any less corrupt? After all, they all got ahead through machine politics on the local level, eventually taking the show on the road. You can't win any other way. The telcos would prefer one stop shopping in DC, and in truth Washington is protecting their national monopolies. I mean, who owns the backbone? How many tier 1 providers are there?
Unless somebody outbids Apple, that will not happen. The government is a creation of business interests, for their protection. It will comply, or be overthrown, sometimes peacefully, sometimes not.
That's bullshit. Companies use the government to protect their market. It is their tool. Things like DMCA, and even copyright itself are industry sponsored, written laws enforced with the government's gun.
Bush is a bit player in the pages of history. Another man has been chosen to carry on the mission, and is doing so exquisitely, following his every step to the t, as expected, no, demanded, for he can not keep the job any other way. Forget about Bush, please. He is gone.
I measure mine by counting my own money, and my state of well being. Since I carry no debt, I am more than content. The economic standing of the state means nothing to me. The mods seem to disagree... Such is life...

We have a nice place in tropical paradise just for them. No silly trials needed at all.
Bill Gates will come back, wearing a black turtleneck... And Microsoft will rule the world!
You'll never guess where I've been!

So, basically they will redraw the map of the region to what it looked like before the Brits showed up?
Oops, mark previous post redundant... I feel so very sorry
So why do we need passwords to log in then? And let's stop calling it email, and call it e-postcards..
Had this been a real emergency, we would be telling you to kiss your ass goodbye...
Beats the hell out of waiting for a youtube video to load. Besides, the patent ran out on gifs. We can use them without being sued.
It still doesn't matter. We are being censored. I don't care by whom.
If the government chose not to censor...?

Only governments can sensor.

A good lawyer??
Mozilla is a not for profit.
Don't be so sure. Mozilla is the pipeline... Why else would Google 'value' them so much?
Hyman Roth always makes money for his partners.

...Verizon works with the military and has most of the government contracts.
Another reason a silly boycott won't ever work... You know... In case somebody brings it up.
The government continues to operate with the full consent of its subjects. Accept it
On cable that would be fine, but not over the air channels. If they try that, they should indeed lose their broadcast license.
Just paint a target on your AP for the bombers... and/or SWAT teams.
Tax every interaction between people. I believe even barter is taxable. What the hell, let's tax the exchange of words.
"If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet..."
