It is sad but true that most people dont even know what net nuetrality is or they dont care if they do know. There are a ton of people that all they know is that there are gays out there, somewhere, in some city, and they dont like them getting married. This is a topic that will effect MANY people who are mostly oblivious to the topic.
There is a lot of money AGAINT net nuetrality and not enough for it. On an issue that the average person doesn't care about few senator's are going to give up their potential re-election money just for a few informed techies. I am pessemistic about this like Lawrence Lessig, very fews things change in congress.
I hate to be the spoil sport but this island is not new at all. It was discovered on August 12th. This was in some online articles months ago. Its interesting to read about still but its not a NYE island.
You may or may not want to maximum amount of bubbles. If you are not a sparkeling wine connoisseur then you probably dont have an opinion either way. Let me tell you first of all that you wont be bothered by too much but you might be bothered by too little. The only time you will ever find too many bubbles is in aged sparkeling wine. As champagne ages it usually takes on an almost yeasty taste from the fermentation and the CO2 gas increases creating more bubbles. Recently i got to drink a Champagne older than me and at first it was very bubbly but as i slowly enjoyed the taste it calmed down. Even then i wouldn't too much to make it unpleasant.
Actually a REAL good margarita consists of good tequila, fresh lime juice, and Grand Marnier. If you dont want orange brandy in your drink and insist on triple sec use Cointreau. Cointreau is technically a triple sec but it is nothing like the cheap orange syrup that is sold as triple sec, it is also 80 proof instead of the usual 46 proof for triple sec.
The least of acceptable exceptions is too long. If a document involves multiple agencies it wont be free. This will do nothing to calm down conspiracy theories, but it will be interesting for historians.
We need a simple law to force wire sharing (so we don't end up with five times the amount of bandwidth we need going into every damn neighborhood),
I agree with you everywhere but in that statement. There is no limit in sight for how much bandwidth is needed. Years ago nobody ever imagined anything but a large corporation needing more than a 300 baud modem. We should lay all the wire we possibly can to everywhere we can.
Speak for yourself. I like to legitimatly reverse engineer all kinds of stuff for hobby as for a living. The DMCA is the biggest source of stress in my life and i have 2 teen-age daughters.
Think of this simple equation. If more was spent on anti-malware then the damage malware did, nobody woudl spend the money and they would just eat the cost. I realize thats an overly simple scenario but the idea still stands. Malware is used to rip off credit cards and checks which are VERY lucrative. The anti-malware is mostly run by corporations which have a profit margin but its not nearly the same as stealing.
The Government is allowed to regulate all kinds of speech. You are not allowed to lie about your stocks and spread rumors and deception so that you pump up your own stocks. This is illegal and I think very few people think that commiting fraud through deception is a type of protected speech.
1) If my eyes were burning too, then yes, I would have them closed, as I'd rather risk damage to other parts of my body while stumbling around blindly than risk damage to my eyes otherwise.
With a full body sensation fo burning you are not going to be making concious choices about what part of your body you want to protect the most.
I read an article about this very weapon years ago. I read some really good thoughts about it online. Imagine this for use in torture. You cant very well ACTUALLY burn someone for an hour straight. Eventually their nerves will burn away and they will go numb. With this weapon you can make someone feel like they are literally on fire for hours on end if you wish.
This weapon exists now to dispell crowds but remember that every weapon ever made has been abused. Although this weapon is most likely illegal under the geneva conventions. This weapon does create considerable heat in a very narrow band under the skin. If pointed at the eyes this weapon will cause blindness. It is forbidden to use weapons that are designed to blind or maim someone.
Also this weapon is only breifly used leaves ZERO physical evidence. An angry soilder can't just machine gun down crowds of civilians becuase that would be illegal and tracable back to who did it. There would be no way to prove if a rogue soilder or even a soldier under orders used this weapon indisciminatly.
It doesn't take all day every day to write good music. Most of the best music written is done isn spare time by normal people who later "make it big". This is not the majority of music but it is the best music.
This is bad karma overall for slashdot for posting sucha blatent advertsement for a site that has not even caught on yet. Part of the whole catching on plan fo rthis site is the slashdot clicks. Sad Sad Sad...
You done get licenced to scuba dive, you get certified. I have been on well over 50 dives and have never even been certified. It is nto illegal to dive without a cert.
Then you say I have no insecurities in MY beliefs, because I only believe that which is proven. and then: Religion is for idiots, and it's time for the bulk of humanity to see it as such.
Im not attacking your arguement or supporting it, im just confused becuase you seem to contridict yourself.

What exactly are you imagining the difference is between distributing and downloading.

If we use the same tactics as them why do we deserve to win?

Read Slashdot maybe?

Adblock is your friend. Also i personally use flashblock with adblock to prevent unwanted flash.
4. and what we are doing IS illegal.

They don't just seem to last longer, they are actually rated scientifically to last much longer.

It is something that would be nice to know but realistically it has little to no use for most people.

The best innovators are not the ones who come up with a new idea. The best innovators make a new idea work for many people.
Owned, i am officially your fan now.

I think his joke flew by your head, he meant the puppet. Get it? A wooden puppet is mroe lifelike and less wooden than Keanu.

Being Agnostic generally means you have a cerain beliefe there is something but you just can't explain it. That is not believing only what you see.
First you say: First off, I'm not an atheist,
Then you say I have no insecurities in MY beliefs, because I only believe that which is proven.
and then: Religion is for idiots, and it's time for the bulk of humanity to see it as such.
Im not attacking your arguement or supporting it, im just confused becuase you seem to contridict yourself.
