But logic went out the door when it was easier just to bash Apple for not having it. But now that other players are having the same problems except in this case its directly effecting their users, perhaps its the last nail, finally.
I for one hate flash for this very reason ( well, that and security reasons ). If it could be cleaned up, great, but as it is implemented now its terrible.
They have a history of not supporting an individual's right of privacy ( among other rights ), so why would they change now? They are just another governmental entity, and by nature don't like privacy.
No seriously, the real issue is training/caring, not more policing. If your population is too dumb to be trained how to drive responsibly or don't care about their follow man as a rule, its time to move elsewhere.
The real discussion was more about selective restrictions based on backroom corporate deals, not paying a bit more for a bit more bandwidth if you use it. It should really be one flat rate for all types of use with a reasonable bandwith limit.
And yes, it should be about a generic connection and i should be able to run ANY service i want. What does that have to do with squeezing others? It doesn't. How much its used can, but not what it is. Much like the roads ( yes, i know one is public and one isn't, but stick with me ) where you can pack what you want in your car or bring stuff back from your trip as you please, but the upper speed limit is restricted. If you pack too many pretty rocks on the return trip, you have to leave grandma behind, but its your car, your choice as long as you don't have stuff falling out or go to fast.
Why is it so easy for people today to say 'sure, restrict the other guy since i don't do that'? bunch of self-centered hypocrites.
"All or nothing" was in the context of the story, either your data is free ( and thus your freedom ) to pass without it being selectively molested due to some back room deal, or it isn't. I really don't see any 'grey' area in this particular issue. However, that said, i do lean towards complete anarchy as a fundamental philosophy, and you wont see me subscribing to the hypocritical examples you have, as I'm pretty consistent about peoples freedom. ( sure, many are, but i strive not to be, getting back to the 'all or nothing' mentality:) )

I really thought they did and was waiting for the 'free' to go poof totally.
Doesn't anyone learn from history?
The wiring was the key to why it was so fast. All the interconnects. Something this *emulation* wont really have.
If you chose ethics over science, you are moving backwards in effect as the rest of the world will leave us in the dust.
Do you want to become a 3rd world nation waiting on handouts? I dont.

We Americans keep tying our own hands behind our backs. Energy and resources = Power.
Oh, ya, that guy with clinical depression with a touch of megalomania.
In relative terms 1% is not a "big chunk of" anything. It may be a lot in total amount, but is still a small percentage of the item in question.
It wont actually die, it will just become an in-house language for oracle application development.
1% isn't big in my book.
I would have liked to see what would happen if they kept going with this.
Too bad Google didn't choose that as their language of choice.
I agree its not working, but not for the same reasons they think. Nor are the solution what they propose.
Thanks, i needed a good laugh after a day like today.
It worked out well for Michael Douglas didnt it?
And the real crooks don't have access to other peoples credit cards or *gasp* pay per use visa/etc cards, right?
By charging *5* bucks to join the club? You have to be kidding.
Move.

if they include filtering of ANY kind?
Its legal if its in your TOS/Contract.
