exit taxes have nothing to do with this fuckwit. it's the part where you need to register your movments with them like your some kind of convict out on bail.
"the mere fact that there is a debate indicates that the issue is in question."
yeah right, there are morons out there who really believe you can survive on air alone and debate that you need to eat food to live - so by your own reasoning you would consider that grounds to consider a diet of thin air as possible.
oh and tying to apply risk managment in situations where you don't fully understand what is going to happen is VERY poor risk managment, VERY poor. for all you know you'll make a bad situation worse.
as a simple example, your economic attempts at reducing greenhouse gases results in a global recession, forcing many countries to adopt much lower tech industry , which is much dirtier then high tech, and actually end up polluting the environment more then before.
this seems like a huge waste of money, google and archive.org cache huge parts of the internet for anyone who wants to look. bottom line is, never use your real name and never identify yourself. also beware of mailing lists
so when you pay your car rego it's just your gift to the government is it? that's the fee you pay to use the road.
are they going to that busting people using fuel efficent or electric for tax evasion next? " you there sir, why aren't you driving a v8 urban tank, your avoiding fuel taxaren't you!?"
no, road use is what vehicle rego is for. This is just petty to the fucking extreme. i wonder how in the world he got done for it in the first place, surely not enough people are doing this for the government to have crack down on it to protect their precious taxes.
this is all besides the fact that why is it anyones business what i use to run my car? am i dodging fuel taxes by using an electic car?
he already outlined why he did it - apple threatened to sue if he disassembled the airport, so he used a clone no name model which used the exact same drivers (where the problem lays).
Not up on contract law? so then you'd be aware that in most contract law, if one party has the ability to change the contract terms to the detriment of the other, it has to allow the other party an "out" so the speak. always remmeber that the spirit of contracts is to lean towards fairness on both parties. contracts that don't always get trounced in any court
i can only speak from experience here in australia, if this happens the ISP will usually let you off, if they don't you get the TIO involved they will back down.
not to mention that if one clause contridicts another in the same contract the whole thing generally gets voided
"somewhere that says this is best case scenario and your rates may vary due to various factors"
when you sign up for an account advertised as a 20mbit service, 20mbit is what you are entitled to. fine print doesn't trump that later on. you could probably use this to weasle out of your contract easily enough.
if i sold you a car, then ripped out the seats before you picked it up and claimed i didn't guarantee seats in the sale contract, it just wouldn't fly and neither would this.
In terms of QOS i agree with this. if for example you are downloading 100gig of porn from torrents then shaping that when you make a phone call in order to make sure the phone call gets through ok is GOOD. shaping however should NEVER prevent you reaching your maxium speed your line is capable of.
what you spend your bandwidth on is none of their business, isp's have repeatedly stated they aren't responsible for your downloading habits, so they can't turn around and control them to suit themselfs and not be liable for it.
that's what marketing do dumby! they make outrageous claims then handball it to technical, and when technical can't make the impossible happen marketing make it look like the techies failed. marketing will then tweak their bullshit slightly to cover their own ass's and make it look like they saved the day.
doesn't reviews and rating come under FREE SPEECH? i mean just because you don't like what i have to say doesn't mean you get to shut me up.
you can only defame someone by spreading untrue rumors etc about them, but a rating? thats totally subjective and is just an opinion, which we are still allowed to have, right?

your overly simplistic view does not work. most people are flat out using email let alone encryption.
thats all they are going to hear in court for the next 100000000 years if they do this.
the whole biodome setup as already been debunked - it's not possible to live in your own eco systems seperate from the earth.
You sir, amuse me.

i believe the comment is aimed at the fact he wasn't using normal gas at all, not the tax part.
this is all besides the fact that why is it anyones business what i use to run my car? am i dodging fuel taxes by using an electic car?
when someone is kicking in your fucking door, you don't stop to give them the benefit of the doubt.
he already outlined why he did it - apple threatened to sue if he disassembled the airport, so he used a clone no name model which used the exact same drivers (where the problem lays).
i wouldn't either, apple are ligitgation happy
if they come knocking on my door they'd want to clearly identify themselfs as police officers or there will be nothing but hot lead greeting them.
"well.... it doesn't NOT support it!"

correct, for factors OUTSIDE THEIR CONTROL.
