    Digital Trends goes as far as calling it "the stupidest product of the year."

    ...regardless of what he believes or not...he's separated from God for eternity...even Pascal believed it was better to be wrong than separated for an eternity...

    while you're at it - what year did fiber optics undergo a revolution, what was it, and what did that do to rates and supply?

    what did internet access cost when it was de-regulated in 1996? 2006? Today? was that due to regulation or de-regulation?

    Actually most public comments on proposed rule making are in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The FCC does not have to solicit public comment if they propose to end a regulation. Thus any comment does not count in any case. It was a a waste of breath to think it did.

    net neutrality had nothing to do with what an isp charges you, it said isp's could not charge netflix more for using up all the bandwidth. rates charged you are set by the local government who signs an exclusive contract with the local isp. doh.https://tech.slashdot.org/story/18/10/15/2024241/997-percent-of-unique-fcc-comments-favored-net-neutrality-independent-analysis-finds#

  14. actually it was 99.7% of 4% after the all the 22 million so-called copypasta were removed. and of either number, how many were real people?

  15. on no issue, including net neutrality, is it believable that 99% were in favor...sounds wrong.

    i used to say the value of a plan was that it could be changed. fail to plan = planning to fail . what you're saying, or least it triggered this in my mind, is that the outcome is not always known, or maybe never known. unintended consequences can be bad or good, and the effect can't be seen until much, much later. imagine the shock when industrial psychologists discovered that any change is usually good.

    we'll send the tax for that to you then. we turn out too many biologists as it is now, and they probably want their student loans forgiven too. all so you can read something cute.
