Hopefully they never let people create websites unless they're licensed professionals...
I've gotten this while in college when I wrote a paper that "wasn't undergraduate material" the English "professor" turned me in for plagiarizing because my paper was apparently too good for her standards.
Cox's association should be allowed to generate whatever content they want to back their reasoning; they never claimed to be engineers. If the "DOT and public were misled by the 'engineer-quality' work" then (public aside) I think the DOT needs some smarter people working there.
How a word is commonly used is not the meaning of the word; it's the definition (that's why there are multiple entries for a single word in a dictionary).
Meaning is constituted by definition + context.
Of course "app" still means something, it just (like every other word) depends on which context you're using it in.
Now whether or not it's commonly used how you want it to be commonly used is another (uninteresting) topic altogether.
I remember in high school I told my parents we were going to play Dungeons and Dragons at our house over the weekend. My mom thought we were all going to commit suicide (or have an orgy since I had recently told her I liked guys). Both were extremely scary to her.
When she and my father eventually saw what playing was like they got bored and went back to watching Law & Order. These judges probably have never witnessed a D&D game, much less watched Law & Order.
The movement is about not censoring what content I can access, the OP seems to think this means there will be a flat "full price" tier of service. That's simply irrational and wrong.
All you stated was that as a result of limiting volume that implies limiting content; they're very different and one does not imply the other.
Given that it's the "busiest" airport 35 dead isn't very high (not saying that one life isn't a lot in itself obviously), thank goodness it wasn't more.

"Annoying mom" seems to still fit the bill.
No I just don't have a high tolerance for dumb.
But if you talk like that in person you're probably one of those really annoying moms who thinks everything is good, sunshine and unicorns.
I'm all for morons killing themselves. Why is this an assumed problem again?

Maybe they really just want people to install a chrome addon so they can send even more google searches to Bing for optimization!
I'm not an astronomer by any means, but I'm also not an architect/builder.
Don't we already have such things by ostensible definition? Spiral galaxy, elliptical galaxy...etc.
I could draw on the parallel to Bungalow, Colonial, Ranch, etc for house categories.
It's more of a "movement" than a "group" no?
We have this ambiguity all the time in language, debating it might be "interesting" but is really useless.
What's a "house"? How many rooms does it have? Is it a house if it has no bathroom/basement/attic? etc.
Try the same thing with "chair".
How do you know something is a "house"? You know when you see it. Just like teaching a child you point to it; ostensibly defined.
Yea I need to stop putting myself in their shoes and lower my bar of expectations.
Democracy is slow? Hold on a minute now...
In my own experience 85% of the government websites I've visited looked about as good as their usability: disgusting.
Maybe they should have came up with a more unique phrase to set off the detonator than "Happy New Year".
Not that I consider blowing yourself up to be overly intelligent, but cmon...
Can I drop those engines into my SmartCar?

What's with all the NYT articles getting through? Are we going to be syndicating Fox News articles as well soon?
I bet they think they're going to get a lot of information out of these boys/guys to find out who's the brain behind the operation!
It's a good way to stay in touch with old WoW friends who don't play anymore.
Just like World Of Warcraft; everything in moderation.
I prefer ridonkulous

Sorry.
Aren't we a little late on the fadwagon NYT?
Net Neutrality is about not limiting content: not volume.
Please don't perpetuate stupidity.
One of my friends quoted the headline on his wall and it was removed by Facebook. So that's probably not far off...

Awesome! Now we can make our own distributed map system that isn't governed by a central organization!
Maybe we can call it Mapsoria?
I think he meant SyFy on that first one*
