But it's soooo much easier to just not fund it currently. It shows that they demand accountability and to stop spying on Americans...this week. It holds open the possibility to fund it later by slipping it in as part of some larger budget bill. You know, when it's politically more advantageous to "stop terrorism", "save American lives", or "think of the children".
If they make it illegal now, they'd have to go through the hassle of making it legal later, then still have to fund it through another bill.
but it's been turned into a better word, a word to be proud of
Really? Have you seen the Washington Redskins play anytime in the past 2 decades? Aside from a brief glimmer in 2012 with RGIII, not a whole lot to be proud of.
If we have to change the name of the Washington Redskins, I say we change all the names of things in this country that have native origins. Just think of how many states, cities, counties, rivers, mountains and such have native-derived names
You'd have a point if all those things that would be changed were derogatory in nature, either once or currently. If Redskin, SD was a real town, then I'd expect it to be changed. Or Redskin River. But that's not the case.
An organization will be regarded as attempting to influence legislation if it contacts, or urges the public to contact, members or employees of a legislative body for the purpose of proposing, supporting, or opposing legislation, or if the organization advocates the adoption or rejection of legislation.
I've yet to see a group with "tea party" in their name that didn't try to do that. And to be fair, I would expect any organization that has other current keywords on either side of the political spectrum to receive additional scrutiny.
The agreement protects google against legal action arising from hosting copywriter content
They already have that protection in the form of the DMCA and this form. They don't need to force content owners to license the video for their streaming service in order to have protection for YouTube videos, and even if they had a streaming license it likely wouldn't cover a YouTube video anyways.

This seems like a familiar story from Microsoft and IBM: think your company is so indispensable that you start demanding more of your users and/or partners. And in doing so, make people start looking for alternatives.
Yet despite that, both companies stock continue to do well. I can't really even tell you what IBM does anymore since they've shed their PC, laptop, and server business to Lenovo. Yet their stock continues to be higher now then what it was during any of the previous bubbles in the 90s and 2000s. Microsoft, despite the disasters of the Windows 8 interface, Windows 8 Mobile, and Surface has a higher stock now then any previous time except the bubble leading up to the 2000 pop.
If your device is only capable of USB 2 class speeds then why the %$#@! are you marketing it as a USB 3 speed device?
The same reason why you can buy a "HD antenna" to pick up OTA television signals. People have a high def TV and if they see two antennas, one that says HD and another that doesn't, they are likely to pick the one that matches their TV. Similarly, if their computer says that they have a USB3 port, they'll pick the flash drive that says it's USB3 even if it performs the same as USB2.
Even with a dictionary meanings can change over decades of time. "I'm having a gay time smoking a fag" means something entirely different now then what it did 4 or 5 decades ago.
Beats is a marginal product sold at an inflated price...
Sounds like a perfect fit for Apple then...
As for as streaming, Beats is about 5 years late to the game.
And Beats streaming service is far older than Apple's non-existent streaming service. Apple acquiring them instantly gives them a functioning subscription service infrastructure, a paying subscriber base (albeit small), and existing streaming contracts that don't need to be negotiated with dozens of different labels before they can launch the service.
The city owns assets that Google needs to use: right-of-ways, utility poles, building space, electricity, etc. They should just allow access to Google and any other company that wants to use it without compensation?
[the NSA team is watching satellite footage of a conversation between Dean and Brill on a rooftop] Hicks: Can you get a feature scan and pattern matching on him? Van: No, he's smart, he never looks up. Jones: Why does he have to look up? Fiedler: The satellite is 155 miles above the Earth. It can only look straight down. Jones: That's a bit limited, isn't it? Van: [Sarcastically] Well, maybe you should design a better one. Jones: Maybe I will idiot.
The free market has generally been fiber vs Comcast. The Comcast salescreature stops by my house about once a month trying to get me to change to them. Something to do with how many channels I'd get for a low low introductory price. I point out we haven't had cable TV, haven't for years, all we have is internet and phone, and we're thinking of dumping the land line. And he gets rude.
We too have FiOS from Frontier nee Verizon and have had several door to door salesmen from Comcast stop by. After I point out how my service is better in just about every way except for a few months for the promo package, they finally get the hint and realize they aren't making the sale. That doesn't stop Comcast and Comcast Business from sending me 2-3 mailings a week trying to get me subscribe.
They however are against The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights, and Arab Charter on Human Rights, with Egypt being signers on the first two but not the third yet.
You keep saying Obama administration. It's not one president's or even one person's doing. It's a collective effort of many people across many administrations and congresses.
As oppose to book publishers that want you to pay the same for an ebook as a hard copy?
It's easier to just go through life when you realize that ALL companies are evil, vile companies and they are all out to maximize THEIR profits at the expense of others.
If publishers and distributors don't want to deal with Amazon, don't do business with them. Amazon's not the only ecommerce site on the internet. Yes you may lose sales from people who want to buy it on Amazon but can't. But Amazon also loses the sale. And if people want your product, if you make it easy for them to get it elsewhere they'll still get it. If I REALLY wanted to go buy The Lego Movie and Wal-Mart didn't have it, I'd go to Best Buy. Or Target. Or some other store. This is no different.
Do health monitoring devices get priority access to electricity?
Most electric companies allow individuals that require power for medical conditions to call and note such requirements to their account. Then, in the case of emergency or power outage, those customers can receive a priority with repairs. It's never guaranteed, but they can get a priority over others.
But for general home health monitoring, I don't understand why it would need to receive a priority for bandwidth. If your medical well-being requires near real-time data then you probably shouldn't be at home, you should be at a hospital. The same for public safety apps...or maybe have a dedicated line for network traffic.
I absolutely want my traffic optimised. Your Bittorrent traffic can wait, whereas my VOIP call cannot.
Says you. While maybe bittorrent or some other bulk file transfer can be degraded, what about video streaming. Why should your VOIP conversation take priority over my video streaming? Or my financial trading data? Or anything else that's important to me but that you don't care about?
That's easy to fix. You just define malicious as anything detrimental to the network (the way most TOS/AUP already define it). That way, when say the Netflix agreement coming to an end you just deem their traffic as detrimental to the network since it DOES impact network performance and you lower it's priority. Problem solved.
Most people complaining about internet usage not being accurate don't have a clue how to track it themselves.
Go over to DSLReports.com and search for usage monitors. There are countless threads from all sorts of ISPs where the ISP's total is drastically different. People who have downloaded hundreds of GB of data but the ISP says only a few GB. And vice versa, the homeowner has been on vacation or otherwise has no reason to have a extreme amount of usage but the ISP says they have.
If it indeed is not that difficult, why have so many ISPs, even major ones that have the budgets and experience to do it properly, had issues?
Why? The cable modem will be able to figure out what traffic is coming from the home vs. coming via the public wifi, and can count those separately. (And can do different speed shaping and prioritization).
As proven time and time again, cable companies seem to have a very difficult time accurately computing actual data usage. I wouldn't have a lot of faith that they can accurately keep track of data usage of two networks from the same cable modem.

Explicit political endorsements? No. Attempting to influence legislation? Definitely.

Is your Scientific Atlanta box a DVR? I have a feeling the real energy hogs are the DVR STB and not the basic boxes.

No. Why did you use kilograms when grams is obviously the base SI unit of measure?
