And I speak as a Republican. Unless there's some outrageous hidden agenda yet to emerge, net neutrality just means that Internet service over cable, because it is in many places a natural monopoly, is henceforth to be treated as a utility, like your electrical service. How you use the watt-hours you buy for your home is your own business, and we are all more free if the same applies to your Internet feed. Regulation of business is something we by instinct would rather not have, but if you live in an area where Comcast is the only game in town, treating it as a utility is more palatable than giving a single company full control of your access to the Internet.
Whether to build municipal broadband is a decision that any locality should be allowed to make for itself. Because wired Internet service so often is a natural monopoly, there are all kinds of situations in which towns or villages or even small neighborhoods find themselves cut off from any service by a company that simply does not feel it worthwhile to extend service to that market. Value decisions like this should be the company's right, but has no business standing in the way of any group of users who wish to band together to organize service of their own.
I've seen their VHF transmissions about their god "Hank Hill"! If those fiery demons ever come to our Titan, they would drill wells for water, contaminating other methane and ethane we breathe.
In fact I did try to Save As the jpg given in the Tumblr reference, but it was in some weird-ass DRMed format that made it unviewable even in Photoshop.
You have your grimy, bridge-girder-mangled finger on the reason why climate activists are doomed, I say, doomed.
When scientists render their final verdict on the carbon warming hypothesis, it will be one of these alternatives:
1. Manmade warming is somewhere in the range of nonexistent to exaggerated. Activists' heads explode. 2. Manmade warning is some value of significant to apocalyptic. If we need to immediately stop emitting carbon, we will have to nuclear. If there is already too much carbon in the atmosphere, we will have to geoengineer. The activists' heads explode.
Critically needs the ability to detect threats to itself and call authorities while the perps are at least still in the area. And yes, this would include strapping a bomb to a cable.
It's the AGW side that keeps claiming that every opponent is a shill for Big Something, while their own funding comes from pennies dropped in their charity boxes by pandas and polar bears.
And the development will only cost "at least $1 billion" if it were to take place in a country crammed with lawyers and insane regulations. Let's see how long it would take one of the BRICs to crank out some new compounds.
"OMGWTFBBQ" Let me guess: this was the gender orientation of the politically hypercorrect journotards covering Rosetta in that epic news conference last summer?
Astrology-based medicine could be the next social activism trend beyond anti-vax. Spend some time walking around in Hollywood (I have relatives there) and you will notice the creepy omnipresence of Scientology. The LA practice of putting company names on buildings makes this pretty obvious. In this environment, I can see a market for Tredinnick's outpourings. Watch for him on The View by summer and hosting the Oscars next year.
This is going to be our strategy against ISIS. We will file a method patent on the use of swords to behead hostages dressed in orange, then win a huge judgement by defending it in East Texas.
I read on an iPad Mini, so your first five objections go away. The others are a matter of interface implementation, which will improve with time as software developers learn what functions the reading public wants (indicate pages remaining in chapter? Touch to identify word or character?)
I like reading on screens because it keeps me awake. I also get a consistent reading experience without having to search for that corner with exactly the right light. And I can queue multiple books and magazines up in a device without adding to the weight, so I never run out of reading or forget to bring the book I'm on.

Have we decided whether it will be blue or gold?
Looks absolutely, positively white/pale gold to me. And that was on three screens with a photographer's eye.

"It's supposed to be decades into the future"
It was set in 2019, which will probably be the year of the sequel's release. I wonder how they will handle that.
Has there been even one instance of a spinal cord severed by trauma being reconnected?
"How can a 3D printer make dough? "
I think Makerbot has already answered that one.
And as a bonus, Florida would disappear completely.

The more trivial an interface change is, the more hysterical the response is from a certain minority of users.
Expensive this new prosthetic will be.

And the subject was IP law, so we automatically know it was a junk decision.
Everyone's at the bipartisan Regulatory Capture Caucus right now, so the real news will have to wait.
The John Birch Society, really? I didn't know they had websites in 1953! Were they propagated over AM radio?
And how else could I have taken War and Peace on a hiking vacation?
