Do you file tax returns? The government already has your address linked to your name, SSN and other identifiable information. This is just what internet speed is really available at a given address.
I pay for 768k/384k, the slowest my ISP provides and the only one they would offer us, and it took months of teeth pulling just to see if it would work. Sales said yes, but every time the order passed on to their provisioning people, they said no. We really only get about 512k/256k. Oh and when we first looked at getting DSL where we are they advertised 1M download. Counting broadband penetration by what the ISP advertises in an area doesn't work, and it's pretty obvious the ISP's aren't going to be forthcoming with real data so the FCC has to gather it directly from users.
Then they're doing it wrong. They're going to shutdown late 2011 for about a year. That means they should be up and running again around... ... ... December 2012
Be afraid. Gordon, you're needed in the experiment room.
The summary said Spain reserved prison for 'serious crime cases.' Depending on how Spain defines 'serious crime' your examples could count and still most spammers wouldn't be eligible for jail, which is still a better situation then in the US. There are other ways to punish people, jail doesn't have to be the only one.
It's showing the same sociopathic behavior as my other examples, so why should it be special?
Because get rich quick is not a sociopathic behavior, no matter how you see it, so should be dealt with differently. Following your line of reasoning, every crime no matter how small or large should be treated the same, throw them in jail.
You are the embodiment of everything that is wrong with actions and laws such as these. It is not the governments place to parent your children yet you cheer them on every time they do.
You think of your children, no one else should have to.
I would call them retarded, as the ones here have been told many many times to name files intelligently and include the file extension. That they apparently can not has been brushed aside simply as 'well creative people think differently.'
Designers are notorious for being retarded. Using another Mac as the fileserver is most likely the best solution as anything else, short of netatalk on Linux, is going to loose the resource fork. With out that, the OS doesn't know what to do with the file because the idiot user is too stupid to name the file with file extensions.
I really wish Apple would move away from a forked filesystem.
If they had to stick with real depictions of, well in this case hackers, every movie about it would look like Office Space and Dilbert. We've seen those so apparently no other movie about or related to the subject can ever be made.
Most people in any profession, if they can't let go of their insistence on reality, dislike or down right hate movie portrayals of what they do.
Whether he was doing drugs or not is entirely irrelevant. If he was, there is no legal or moral way for the school to have found out unless he was caught doing it at the school.
It said to 100 million homes. How many of those homes are in densely packed cities? It's probably not as hard as it sounds. It would however require upgrades to the infrastructure that they seem to desperately want to avoid spending money on.
Of course, most likely nothing will come of this so it doesn't really matter.
Yes you are off and this has nothing to do with peering agreements. At it's base, legislating network neutrality is dictating that the way the internet works now is the way it should work. ISP's are meant to be access points, not gatekeepers. Net neutrality legislation aims to prevent ISP's selling tiered services like cable companies do with their service. An ISP can't go and make an agreement with one content/service provider (say MS Bing) and throttle all competitors to be so slow as to be useless and turn around and say that you have to upgrade to the next package up to be able to use Google. Network neutrality prevents an ISP running a VOIP service and throttling Vonage into oblivion, unless you pay for the *special unlimited* VIOP package. Network Neutrality prevents double dipping, i.e. the ISP from charging you to access content AND charging content providers to be in the lower level tiers.
Legitimate QoS is not prevented under network neutrality. ISP's can, and should, prioritize VOIP over HTTP. They could even throttle BitTorrent if they wanted to.
BitTorrent is the big problem with the FCC's plan. They specifically allow ISP's to filter out illegal traffic. BitTorrent has many many legitimate uses, unfortunately no ISP that has filtered BT has ever recognized that fact and simply blocks it all.
They would have to provide and support their products longer then a consumer product cycle. Things like releasing a $3000 workstation then 3 years later releasing an OS update that doesn't support it don't fly well in enterprise environments.
[F]or Microsoft to assert that they have the right to treat ordinary PC-using consumers in this manner -- declaring their systems to be non-genuine and downgrading them at any time -- is rather staggering
Yes, how horrible that MS take steps to get paid for what they produce. I take it MS is supposed to do nothing and hope that you'll be nice and pay them?
Steps like these need to be taken because, well, people pretty much can not be trusted to do the right thing without the fear of a reprisal looming over their head.

I feel the above statement that came to me in a moment was just about as well thought out as this students proposal.

Oh and conspiracy theories are not adequate citations. You could at least try to not sound like an idiot.

This is what I came to say. Backups become simpler as well.
What's to understand? It doesn't work, seems simple enough.

Harmful to whom? Stop defining yourself based on what some script writer, who has no real idea what they're writing about, puts on the silver screen.
Movies are entertainment and what 'hackers' do, no matter what the definition of the word you feel like using, is really very boring to watch.

Bullshit, there are no women on the internet.

Actually, I have found that Cat5 provides just as many options as cat5.
I admit though, my testing may not have been exhaustive.
