  1. It was mostly lies to begin with. on AT&T To "Pause" Gigabit Internet Rollout Until Net Neutrality Is Settled · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They were never going to widely deploy 1Gbps anywhere, in the first place. They had stated to share holders that their capital expenditures would hardly go up to implement this in 35 cities, meaning they weren't really going to be doing very much anyway, other than uncapping existing fiber from dsl speeds.

    for $60, it doesn't throttle until 3GB
    for $70, it doesn't throttle until 5GB
    and at $80 is full up unlimited

    Thats the best deal he is likely to find.

    These are not the bribes you were looking for.

    The correct way to do that would have been to leave out your Dr. W comment, logout, and post a reply to yourself as AC. It's less fun when you take the Dr. Wh and Dr. W joke in the same comment.

    I know the usage of (sic), what does (hic) mean?

  7. Re:Certified dumb for school use? on Color-Screen TI-84 Plus Calculator Leaked · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I call shenanigans. You made this amazing software that solved all your problems on every math exam, but didn't back it up or sell it to other students?

  8. Re:Batshit Crazy! on EVE Online CSM and Diplomat Killed in Libyan Consulate Attacks · · Score: 1

    I guess you didn't watch TV 11 years ago? And the films in question would be those that a Mr. bin Laden made, and distributed.

  9. Re:Inevitable on Look-Alike Web Sites Hoodwink Republican Donors · · Score: 2

    If corporations are people, can they get married? This is silly. Corporations are not people. Yes all the people who own the corporation ARE people, but the corporation is not.

    I think the owners should obviosly retain all their rights, but I don't think they have all their rights when using corporate money. However, when using their OWN money, they should be able to do whatever they like.

    There are still campaign contribution limits for good reason, and allowing super pacs to spend money on arguably the most expensive part of a campaign makes a mockery of our election system.

    Corporate personhood is the root of a lot of evil in our country. I think if corporations want to be people, they need to be properly accountable to our justice system, including the death penalty. They should have to serve jury duty, they should not be allowed to be dual citizens, etc.

    Right now corporations are getting mostly the good stuff when it comes to being a person, and the few things they have to suffer with (taxes and some pesky laws), they do their best at bribing politicians to fix. Oh, I mean, donating, not bribing.

  11. Re:Farm subsidies on California City May Tax Sugary Drinks Like Cigarettes · · Score: 1

    Well, at least the corn subsidies are already expired. They expired on January 1st, 2012. It will be interesting to see if there is any actual change in the price of HFCS. There's a chance that HFCS prices could actually go down in the short term, since selling their corn for ethanol will not be as profitable this year.
