They are so far into the "dumb pipe" category that they were able to get specific legal protections to protect their dumb pipe from what went through it. "Heh, you can't sue us because some drug dealers made a deal over our phone lines. We don't monitor every call. We're just a dumb pipe." Now, it is, "Heh, you can't sue use because there is some child porn in our squid cache. We don't monitor every download. We're just a dumb pipe."
Bastards. I'll lobby for the dismissal of net neutrality if the legal protections are dismissed with it.
I think Google should respond with a lawsuit against the ISPs whose customers are sucking down all those videos and eating into the bandwidth that Google paid for. Or better yet, redirect the user's to a page saying, "We can't serve you the video you want to see, because your ISP says that your bandwidth hasn't been paid for."
Password aging is one of those policies that sounds like it makes some degree of sense only if you don't have any understanding of human nature.
The stereotype is that computer geeks can't get a date or fit into social situations. Why? Because they don't understand human nature. And who is in charge of setting the password policy? The geekiest guy in the organization. I see a major issue.
The whole trend is nothing more than a gimmick to milk more money out of theater-goers.
Surely, you jest!! They make these stupid movies just to make movies? And we PAY them to do it!?!
'Course, I shouldn't be to sarcastic. In 1982, I paid good money, earned from pushing a lawn mower, in order to see this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083630/
and then was fool enough to pay to see this in 1983: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085811/
Take for example his attempts to reach out to Iran, he was called a coward for it and we were all told he was making us look weak
Yeah, Ahmadinejad shouldn't have talked about Obama like that, but you've got to admit that it looks fairly pathetic to go around bowing to every tin-pot dictator in the world.
The problem with public transportation in most of the US is how spread out we are geographically. I have the option to drive myself for 25 minutes, or walk several miles to the closest bus stop, and then spend hours switching between loud, dirty busses with some of the smelliest homeless people on Earth. If I have to work late, I'll have to call someone to pick me up, or spend $50(US) for a cab.
I would like to see small, two passenger, electric "commuter vehicles" that people would drive to a central "station" to dock onto a railroad car. That would carry you to a central station in the business/manufacturing center, where you would drive to work. If you have to stay past normal work hours, you still have transportation home. You stay in your own vehicle for the ride, and still have the ability to leave the driving to AmTrak.
I've got an idea. How about the credit agencies be required to inform me when they give out reports about me? They already know everything about me, right? If someone is illegitimately getting credit under my name, I'll find out about it. If they have incorrect information, I'll find out about it. The cost of an inquiry would go up by $1(US), the cost of printing and mailing a duplicate report.
Wrap the peltier cooler around a copper sheet. The composite is inserted between the layers. The heat is highly concentrated in the copper, which is topped with a heatsink.
There is really no point in having that many warheads in first place, any conflict can be resolved with much fewer number of efficient warheads. I don't know why US or Russia wouldn't unilaterally reduce their warhead numbers, most likely it's a mind game to not appear weaker than the other.
Do not EVER underestimate the mind game.
Don't want to get in a fight in high school? Start lifting weights. Being bullied? Pick out the biggest bully and and go ape-shit on her. You'll get smashed, but it will be the last time. People will get the idea that they can pick on you, but you're likely to get in a few punches, too.
Mutually Assured Destruction? It has kept the peace throughout history. Wars only happen when Germany thinks that it can overrun France and actually come out ahead. If they think their major cities will be fire bombed to ashes in the process, they will think about it more. The US was pressuring the Japaneses before WWII, and the Japs got the idea that the US populace did not have the stomach for a war. They thought a major frontal assault would nullify the minor US threat. If the US had been a bit more hawkish, the warnings from the Japanese military's leaders would have carried more weight.
Once again, Obama shows that he is an idiot. The response to all threats is, "Will bomb you back into the stone ages. You will NOT threaten us with force, for YOU have everything to lose and you will gain NOTHING. Now, would you like to negotiate peacefully." You make the statement in private to foreign leaders, so as not to rile national sentiment among the various populations, and just use weasel words publicly (We will fight tyranny. We will not be bullied. We will keep the strongest military. etc.)
The problems with widespread use of renewables are political (i.e. Republicans and conservatives don't like them)
WOW!! Just, WOW! Where do you people come up with such insanely stupid ideas. Republicans have no problem whatsoever with renewables. What they have a problem with is an overbearing government forcing feel good (but totally unworkable) ideas down our throats with government mandates. What they have problems with is ripping the heart out of a massive economy that is barely limping along as it is by mandating premature technology like was done with anti-lock brakes on vehicles.
Republicans love renewables as much as any other sane person when they make economic sense.
Hmmm? I have a coax cable, managed by Time-Warner, coming to my house that delivers bits. I have a twisted pair coming to my house, managed by BellSouth, that serves bits and an analog signal. I have a power cable coming to my house, managed by Duke Power, that serves bits, and a power signal.
What is that you say about multiple wires being to expensive?
My take: All of these wires should be a public right of way, just like the road system. Anything that requires eminent domain powers should remain in the hands of the government. This would also do away with cities condemning personal property to only hand it over to commercial property developers. The local governments should own and maintain the wire "roadways", while companies like Comcast and Time-Warner provide provide services.
You can go into that store and take as many pictures as you like. You can go into the store, take pictures, and then write a story about what you think of the store.
And the fliers my be on FB's property, but they're posting the fliers to the outside of their wooden fence. I can take pictures of that and post them on the internet as much as I like. You have no right to privacy in public. FB posts data in a public forum. They have not right not to have pictures taken and redistributed.

Never been married, huh?

Do they have special glasses that improve overall story and character development? I tried beer goggles, but I end up forgetting most of the movie.
Obviously, you forgot the whole movie. There has to be some story or character development before it can be improved upon.

Tune into Entertainment Tonight or MTV for political news?
Now, that's some change we can believe in. Let's all hear it for the most open government in the history of the United States.

Dude, spend some money and get rid of that 486.
In other news, the homepage will be switched to FourSquare.

Which, until the whole world sits down to smoke a joint together, is the best kind.
Nothing produces peace better than fear.
Call it anything you want. Choosing not to spend other people's money on something is not the same as not liking it, you dolt.
Or study some weather. It is called the Coriolis effect (if I'm spelling that correctly).
The diseased mind is the one that can't see the world and the people that inhabit it for what they are, instead for what they want it to be.
Damn!! Thinking of that, I'm not going to get any work done now.

So pick your poison. In this case $$BIGGOV'T$$ is not trying to stick a big fat one up ours, yet. But $BIGCORP is.
Sorry, you forgot a word. And remember, $$BIGGOV'T$$ is the one that is legally allowed to bring guns to the raping.
