Internet doomsday is already here, you guys just don't realize it. What is coming next: you will only be allowed to connect to the Internet by rented "approved" devices provided by a handful of companies. You don't think that will happen? It will.
Baloney. Quite the opposite. Netflix has partnered with Comcast for example. Their app is now built into their cable boxes. You can make damn sure they will make sure the Netflix traffic is higher priority than any competitor they don't partner with. This will eliminate any competitors that don't pay Comcast. You guys are completely delusional.
No, obviously you don't understand what America is about. It isn't supposed to be government granted monopolies running free without any oversight or restrictions. In the real world (as opposed to your suburbanite middle class faux Libertarian bubble), there needs to be some oversight on these artificial monopolies.
The State of Liberty does not represent the freedom for companies with government granted monopolies to do what they please. You completely understand what America is supposed to be about. You should probably go back to grade school.
Maybe he is concerned that the "solution" to the problem of Climate Change is "carbon credits" and a switch to more expensive sources for energy, all which impact the middle/lower class. Of course, the rich get richer and aren't affected.
Oil companies have plenty of money to push their false viewpoints as well. AGW is real, but it isn't causing the California fires. No need to hype it up.
Answer: humans are moving into these previously remote rural areas and that increases the amount of fires. Human activity can cause fires. Also, things like flooding and such get worse because we are killing off marshlands and other "buffer zones" that would previously prevent such flooding. So things are worse because of local changes, not global changes. AGW is bad, but what we are doing locally is much much worse.
Exactly. The only streaming service Comcast is going to let through is Netflix because they partner with them. The rest will either need to pay a fee to Comcast or get throttled.
It does that too. It will block entire sites if they are deemed malware. It didn't block this site for some reason, but it blocked its malware laden video players.

Chanting does a lot of good. It really changes things, because the government really cares what you think.
All the software on your Linksys is made in Asia now.
+1 Insightful.
I burned my retina right in the center of both eyes. I have to look out of the corners of my eyes to see anything.
Notice Germany and the EU hasn't done a damn thing. And no, "fines" don't count. These people all have plenty of money. Shame on the EU.
I didn't know Amazon was in control of who can register domain names on any domain. When did this happen?

Right. Because human beings moving into those areas doesn't cause more frequent and more severe fires. Must be climate change.

You will not win that battle. Actual scientists are not well funded, but the people pushing for Carbon Credits and other money making schemes are.
That was due to climate change too. Or maybe the Russians. Either way, the science is settled.
There were never wildfires before climate change was discovered.
+1. Unfortunately life is not a limited set of possible conditions and rules. Most things aren't. Games are, which is why computers are good at them.
You definitely should. Paying $200 for Apple to track you is well worth it. And next year when the next model comes out you can repeat.
Good story. Too bad it is a complete lie. A cheap bottle of shampoo is about $1 in India. Who would buy a 30 cent packet when a 2 month bottle is $1.

Not every device is rootable. Many devices have never been rooted, and lots of people have tried.
America is to blame here? Because Canada can't govern themselves. Must be the evil Americans.

Ghostery blocks all that stuff.
