    not really

    lots of ISP's like verizon have legacy money losing businesses like POTS lines, especially in flyover country where all the freedom lovers think everyone else should pay for their infrastructure

    the current high growth business like wireless subsidizes POTS, DSL and whatever else they have

    no, the cars outnumber you at least 1000 to 1 here in NYC. that means you need to get out of the way

    most of the cyclists i see here ride like morons and when they get killed the cops don't do anything because its the cyclist's fault. like trying to pass a truck on the right side while its making a right turn

  10. Re:Instagram Bubble on Instagram Wants To Sell Users' Photos Without Notice · · Score: 4, Funny

    are you kidding?

    celebs using twitter or instagram is a direct connection to fans. unlike 30 years ago when the only connection was a fan club you had to pay for or the trade magazines

    unlike most geeks, celebs aren't crazy like my dad and don't care if someone makes money off them in a symbiotic business relationship.

    Ten to one odds its your shitty government passing protectionist laws and high taxes

    Life costs money, get used to it

    Your parents pay mortgage on the basement you live in, they pay taxes to the county for your right to an education and utilities so you can download every nasty porn scene from bit torrent

  16. Keep on working for free on Ask Slashdot: How To Collect Payments From a Multinational Company? · · Score: 2

    150 pages of Frodo walking with almost nothing else happening in mordor didn't excite you?

    more like jackson went all PT on the hobbit

    i remember before the star wars PT came out all the SW fan boys on the internet were creaming themselves at having all the little details revealed to them. the kinds of details that are supposed to be minor in a story

    same here. all the nonsense most people don't read jackson used it to make a somewhat crappy 300 page book into a 9 hour movie
