So your point is a paranoid assertion backed by nothing more than your belief that all things must tend towards tracking you and your all important commuting? Or am I missing something here?
As someone who has commuted in DC, I welcome this. Nothing chapped my ass more than watching a douche take the HOV all on his lonesome. He didn't earn it, he can sit in shit with the rest of us.

And even more often, people express their opinions of how they believe reality to be, with nothing more than cynicism and "common sense" backing them up.
I'm a fan of elitism of any sort, whether it be server monkeys in charge of making sure I clean out my email, or tuning monkeys who think that they're somehow better people for doing things themselves. Keep it coming!
To be fair, people with low IDs seem to get some sort of automatic respect mods. Take the OP. Currently at +3 Interesting, for nothing more than stating he has a low ID. WTF, basically.
I'm afraid I still don't understand. My math is no longer strong enough to derive any new information from Turing's papers.
I'm only really aware of two types of parallel programming in any case: the type available through multi-core implementations, and the SIMD/MIMD style available in GPUs. What else is there?
If I had to make an argument, I'd point out this is a US website, where the dominant language is English. I'm not too worried about it, though. I come here to read the nerd outrage.
There's very little need to make it a class warfare thing. The large ISPs are publicly owned, and lots of people make money when they do well. Certainly, some people do very well, but they are exceptions. Holding them down sure doesn't lift everyone else up, in any case.
They also found it's easier to provide high bandwidth connections when you limit their total number. That lesson is so basic to Internet2 that it's hard to say what other lessons could actually be applied to the Internet.
Although I don't disagree that higher bandwidth could be provided without much trouble, and it's mainly greed holding things back.
You're fighting a losing battle. You can't possibly say anything you're trying to say without getting buried under a mound of reactionary bullshit from the self-styled "intellectuals" who populate this site. It's just how it works around here.
I give you props for speaking the hard truths, sir. Unfortunately, around here you can only talk bad about Christians and get away with it. The poor Muslims apparently need protecting from big bad reality.
Well, troubled a bunch of retailers who wanted a business method they saw would work nicely but they didn't think of first, and a bunch of Slashdotters who realistically have about as much influence on consumers as the anti-globalization protests have on multinational corporations.
I thought we were talking about using the Internet here and losing access. How did beatings come into play? Is the slope slippery or did you oil your shoes before you stood on it?
How are you forced, exactly? Does Steve Jobs stand next to you, ensure you're on the Internet, ensure you have the latest iTunes, dock your iPhone, and make you update the firmware on it somehow?
And even if he did somehow manage this, what does it have to do with threatening to rape my (non-existent) wife? Do you really think that's in any way a reasonable parallel?

This is an interesting discussion, but this isn't exactly an "important" site. It's a diversion, really.

It's an understandable mistake. My source. Again, I personally welcome international stories.

How not, exactly? I'm not familiar enough to follow your post and fill in the blank myself.

Shh, it's performing the most important job a parody can do: exposing the dimwits who believe the opposite of what the parody espouses.
Ah, so then you just veered off-topic to rant about something. Good show.
I disagree with your contention, and it hardly matters as to whether you're Muslim or not.

I'd like to introduce you to an interesting phrase that might help explain the price: economies of scale.
Look it up, it's fascinating and it may stop you from spotting conspiracies where there aren't any.
What's the fun? I'm seriously asking, this constant hammering of Roland's stories makes no sense to me at all.
I don't ever wring my hands over history. It's done. It happened.

Corpses in the ocean would be harmful? Jesus, I hope all the dead fish realize that and politely get out.
