Oh my goodness, you forgot this part: "Yeah, I really shouldn't paraphrase funny quotes from old movies." Well, I know you'll do better next time. Now run along.
I'm not saying that I especially like Ubuntu, but overall I like what they are doing. It has clearly been more successful than most others in getting Linux to people's desktop.
If the top 10 major ISP's got together and said 'screw you, shut us down!' do you think the government would push their luck?
Better question: How do you feel about corporations being so powerful they can dictate terms to your government?
Rewind 35 years and replace "corporations" with "unions". I would also expect the government to say "screw you" to these hypothetically petulant ISPs because they (the government) are part of the representatives of the people duty bound to uphold the rule of law and the protection of freedoms.

No no. It's because they'd cut me open and eat me hearties.
Fantastic. Solve 21st century USA security problem with medieval British know-how.
But please, for everyone's sake, put in a drawbridge and portcullis? And defend it with archers and fiery balls of hay?
Awesome.
That's just the opinion of a bitter kraut.
Sour Kraut. Shirley it has to be Sour Kraut.

Some debates never change. Classic British comedy here.
That's about the length of Scotland per second.
You know, Scotland: that other place she's the Queen of...
Q: How do you elevate? A: you place them under ground

Over ground, under ground: I'll be wombling free.

I though the UK government were trying to get that conviction overturned?
Oh for some Mod points...

It's maddening.
It's time to put those creaky ancient machines out to pasture.
That's why they're in a retirement home.

My real senior moment is forgetting there are mostly young folks here who haven't a clue.

We'll immediately step back and remove ourselves from your lawn.

Well at least you remained resolute and resourceful in an atmosphere of extreme pessimism.

I honestly don't understand why people are so hung up on Ubuntu, it doesn't offer anything the other distros don't.
Steam?

Maybe this is the year.
Isn't it about time for corporations that support open communications to stand up to a government behaving like a 6 year old wanting a new toy?
Corporations that support open communications are in the same bucket as unicorns and flying pigs. So short answer: No.

It's a trap!
