So what Chile just did a few weeks ago was a government takeover of the countries internet traffic? http://yro.slashdot.org/story/10/07/13/2056218/Chile-First-To-Approve-Net-Neutrality-Law
Sure seems like the opposite to me.
And the ISPs right to do what they want is all fine and dandy until they show no respect for my privacy or freedom of speech. I'd rather have the government attempt to something on my behalf then let the regional ISP monopolies or oligopolies trample me...
Ironic that this is hot on the heels of Slashdot's pro-net neutrality story. If the government took over the internet, it would make sure to "regulate" any websites posting this kind of cracking information. Want to pirate it on Bittorrent? Sorry, the government would "regulate" Bittorrent too thanks to political donations from lobby groups like the RIAA/MPAA. In fact, the government would require all your activities to be logged by ISPs for investigative purposes.
Net neutrality--proving that there are always people naive enough to hand great things over to the government where they are ruined forever.
Net Neutrality is not about the government taking over the internet! It is exactly the opposite (they ensure that the internet is not "regulated"). How many times must this be said?
I've been around the calculator community for a few years now, and I have enjoyed many of the community's creations. It is a shame to see TI attempt to crush their most devoted customers...

It is amazing what the two of them can do separately, imagine what incredible damage they could do together...
I'm willing to bet the barn that this fails. I'm not sure that any part of their plan makes sense.

Burning some karma here.
