  1. But if I am running a torrent in the background, anytime in the next hour or so is good enough. It would be nice to be able to set my own preferences.

    So where are these packets going to be for the next or so? In storage somewhere? Randomly bouncing around the internet? All packets should be delivered in the shortest quickest/most appropriate route from being sent. The only difference with your skype call is those packets need to arrive in the right order so generally take the same path rather than your torrent taking a whole bunch of routes of least traffic.

  2. To 99.999999999999% of users, they really, really do in fact want traffic from CNN to have priority. Especially over your LemonParty traffic, never mind your own.

    No they want THEIR traffic to have priority regardless if it's coming from cnn, wiki, netflix or pornhub.

  3. Here's a way to break the deadlock. Those that want to discriminate traffic and charge extra for fast lanes, fuck off and start a new internet using all your own infrastructure. Or just fuck off and don't bother with the rest. Deadlock broken.

    I also put the same false name on everything that needs a name but isn't an important thing so if they ask for him I know immediately it's a crap call.

    I usually answer 'Hello, Burger King' or something, when they start talking about ppi or that car accident I was years ago I tell them it's a work phone and they hang up. If it's someone legit you take the call.

    The police can't arrest all the black people, stupid.

    They certainly seem to be trying.

    You just know 13-year old boys are going to use this to look at the magazines in plastic wrappers.

    Magazines? When they have internet enable devices in their pockets. Have you ever googled tits or pussy or something without safe search? Some of the stuff you can get would put hustler to shame. Magazines, how quaint.

  8. Windows phones aren't that bad either if you aren't a teenager who needs all the latest apps, or a hacker hackity hacking roots away.

    I have a windows phone sitting in a drawer that I bought as a backup phone because it was super cheap. Anyways here's why I think it sucks:

    ...

    Nailed it.

  9. Bloody peasant.

  10. I'm going to guess you are a white male.

    And while people still think like this, racism/sexim/***ism will keep running strong. We're all just people, stop paying such close attention to where someone keeps their genitals or what particular shade their skin is and judge them on their own merits and abilities and we'll all get on much better.

  11. As long as something gets shot they're happy.

  12. So if having a police force in itself is enough to stop people getting robbed then why do people get robbed. All the fucking time. The police are reactionary, not preventative. All they can do is show up after the event and maybe try to figure out who did it.

  13. Give it a rest.

  14. I don't use those services and I still have to pay taxes. The IRS is illegal under the US constitution.

    Since you don't use the police ... what's your address?

    Police wont do shit to stop you getting robbed. Best you can hope for is they turn up not too long after and give you a crime reference number so you can claim on your insurance if you have any. In America they might turn up quicker on the off chance they get to shoot someone.

    All I'm saying is if somethings meaning isn't clear and unambiguous, you can't really claim it's perfectly written.

    Because they're very resistant to such changes because the language and everything has been handed down from god and is therefor perfect, completing the circle. Kind of different to slang.

    It does make me chuckle. Muslims go on about the koran is perfectly written, so much that a human couldn't have done it. Something to do with a rhyme scheme all the way through or something. Yet if it was perfect there really would be no room for misinterpretation, of which there is plenty.

    Could Russia have even wiped out the US in the height of it? I don't think so, destroy a lot of places and kill a lot of people, sure, but wipe out? The NK's are going to need to get their production skates on if they want to wipe out anywhere!
