If they and the other major providers form a cartel and manipulate the government to implement this across the board, and kill off competition, then we are all baked, baked, and baked.
This raises the profound question of whether the presence of articles on Slashdot, with their opportunity for Freud Proust moments, is an enticement to "experience highly repetitive content".
Discuss, paying particular attention to the turtles below.
"We'd" rather have the US turned into an EU-style socialist ghetto
than continue to have the US lead in space and overall human development.
It's more important that we all fail together than support a few succeeding, and then subsequently dragging the rest along.
Democracy is not a grant of corporate wisdom, alas.
But we get these velvet handcuffs as a consolation prize.
That, and the fact that Solomon's observation that "there is nothing new under the sun" was never more apt than when applied to software.
Physical devices, with huge sunk costs in R&D and fabs make a patent a reasonable tradeoff to incentivise development.
Software, not so much.

More to the point, I want to know how you preclude all these shiny-miney algorithms from being tweaked with misinformation.
Sure, the really gross stuff is going to get dumped, but the real Machiavellis will engage in propaganda oh so subtly...
What you do is get a tabbed browser and open up a slough of tabs, prepare responses in parallel, and submit them as a batch.
This way you recover the some of the wait time.
Admittedly, a firefox extension could be cooler...
Absolutely. The TiVo interface is superb.
While Cox and TiVo stand around bickering and arguing over who patented who, I'm looking for a service that doesn't jack me around so much, particularly in light of the fact that I've been a loyal customer a long time.
CableCard is something of a joke WRT Cox in the Northern Virginia market.
We got a Series 3 TiVo, and have had no end of problems with HD channels.
We've been forced to use an additional adapter provided by Cox that manages "switched digital video", an interesting extension that seems like it ought to be handled by the CableCards themselves. Thanks for the KISS, buddies.
Intermittently, a channel will drop out. Usually comes back in a day or so.
Tired of the nonsense, we're Frankly Investigating Other Services.
Fundamental difference being that a Google Notebook is globally visible. So, if you're collecting a bunch of random information on, say, Illinois furniture transactions, you can do a little while seated at Location A, and a little more while seated at Location B.
That is, so long as you're comfortable with the increased possibility of others peeking into what you're clipping into the notebook.
And then you bring in universal health care.
Are you happy about having your pocket picked to rehabilitate those who've turned themselves into potted plants of the sort that they smoke?
Legalize it in, say, Nevada, and see whether everything goes haywire. We certainly can't worsen the baggage Nevada sends to Congress.

Brilliant!

The network is found,
Infinitely sound,

Of course not. C99 is the standard. Has there ever been an executable standard? U R teh st00p3d.
You really don't know where all that government money goes, do you?
