This violates net neutrality because HTTP is being favored over FTP, P2P, and a whole host of other protocols.
So what....
Waiting 1 minute for a webpage to load is worse waiting 5 minutes longer for your DVD-Iso-torrent to finish.
All I'm asking for is to be honest and upfront with that! You could even prioritize ALL http-traffic and market it as Surf-Accelerator(tm) I'm sure that would give you the perfect batch of customers for that low-price-Plan. Then maybe go for a premium-plan with a torrent-accelerator...
All these "unlimited until you actually start to use what you paid for" is a clear example of One-size-fits-all going terribly wrong.
If they're really so wrong, we should be able to demonstrate it without such disclosures.
No we can't.
It's impossible to prove any theory, as long as there is an alternative theory with an almost allmighty entity (God, CIA, AlQuaida, in general: Them) that is granted the ability create fake evidence for all other theories.
True, true. The only difference between these nuts and the nuts that we call Taliban and Al Queada is their methods, not their beliefs.
I'd go for the other way round. The beliefs differ as much as fundamentalist christian beliefs and fundamentalist islamic beliefs tend to differ. (both have the same hubris of beeing absolutly right)
The methods only apparently differ, as in one place, you can see the methods after they took over a country, and in the other place you se the the methods they use while trying to take over a country.
Clearly, Honda is the Toyota of automobiles. There's nothing wrong with them and a lot right with them. I'd buy one in a heartbeat if they weren't a foreign maker.

I'll freely admit I got both of my IT jobs by referrals from friends and acquaintances already working in the companies.
University/College studies are as much about networking as they are about learning. I spent most of my years in University in our student relaxing room playing boardgames and arguing with fellow students and faculty members. Now people who graduated years before me and have achieved higher positions in companies know me or are my friends and have a good understanding on how I fit in teams/groups. And since we mostly argued about our studies at hand they know that even though my grades weren't top notch I knew my stuff.
Same for me, though I found my two jobs through people who already knew me before university.
Of course this doesn't work at all if you're an asshole. You have to stand out somehow, but red flagging yourself for good by suing your school for your own failures is about the worst thing you could possibly do.
As you just said.. this doesnt work if you're an asshole...
You've been trapped by the same fallacy as that other guy. You're scolding him for using the turban wearing terrorist stereotype, but using the equally narrow minded muslim terrorist stereotype.
Plus, completle ignoring that it was an obvious joke about (drumroll) stereotypes!
But if it was in your workplaces interest to get those photos out on wikipedia, they's be stupid not to give out the permit for free to anyone who is kind hearted enough to take (almost) professional-grade pictures of it for free. At least for a handfull of selected pictures.
..., such as glaciers melting (and yes, they truly are, worldwide, where I live here in Switzerland, but also in Alaska for example). I understand that there should be healthy scepticism at any scientific claim, but the climate is almost certainly changing, enough so that I can personally see it.
The climate is definitly changing.
As it always has been. Sometimes slower, sometimes faster. But in no way that should be an excuse to keep on polluting the planet.
Thats true. And the few x-hundred of cards given out for testing will still work.
BUT when they start give out the actual cards to the millions, you need different setups to verify THOSE cards. (as in "verify against a completly different public key") So there's not much harm done yet, they only have to replace a few hundred cards more when they start production. BUUUT if a blunder like that had happend after going live, you'd have to replace ALL cards given out as you won'tr be able to create new ones compatible to the ones out "in the wild"
Thats what linux is. and the difference to GNU/Linux. Now add the Desktop Environment of your choice to make your PC useable at all. (all that bloat that MS considers to be part of the OS. Most of it even IS important. But as part of the DE, and not of the OS. Windows often mixes this up and fails doing so)
And the same huge number of users when asked "what OS do you want on your new PC, Windows or Google Chrome?", will say "Windows" because they don't have a clue what an OS is and "Windows" sounds vaguely familiar.
I'm not so sure. But for the same reason. GOOGLE is what sounds familiar here. When asked "You want google or windows on your laptop" everyone will choose google because you need google to find somnething on tha interwebs.

As long as they advertise unlimited access that policy shouldn't be worth the paper it is printed on. The same goes for the neo-german word Flatrate.
We're surrounded by shared resources with capacity that reflects typical usage
They purchase bandwidth based on a model of "reasonable" network usage
(Emphasis mine)
You already spotted the difference in your analogy yourself. Typical is completly differen from some arbitrary reasonable.
Exactly.. Everyone should get a price. I could imagine a few disiplines with me dominating the "slashdotter-basement-dewlling"-league.
OTOH, there's weight segregation in boxing.
By that criteria, strong men shouldn't be able to compete with other men as that would give them an unfair advantage.
Exactly. I'm in favour of letting the typical slashdotter start dating outside the shallow end of the gene pool
Without noticing, Anonymous Coward would have earned his (or her...) "+1 insightful"
That's exactly what was done at the olympics until 1968, but was replaced with genetic testing.

And even if the ham stuff is damaged by EMP I bet the crustier hams could fix it.
Actually, some of us could build new rigs.

The Linux kernel is just a hardware abstraction layer.
When you add some basic tools like filesystemtools and a GUI, you can run a browser on it.
So if you want some "OS" that just can run a browser, just install 20% of any recent LinuxDistribution.
My point was more in the lines that there's no need to call it a "New Operating System" without even a new kernel.
and thats what they should be.
