Because more often than not lately, peaceful protests very quickly become not-so-peaceful with a lot of illegal activity like vandalism, violence, looting etc.
Adding anonymity to the mix only makes things worse, as per the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory.
Are you blind right now? How are you not reading "virtual" when you are staring at the screen with properly functioning eyes? Maybe one day you can cut your eyes out, then post back about how much easier it is to read the full article title. Twat.
I easily pick up Danish radio stations 30-50 km south of the Danish-German border with no degradation except for the one case where a German radio channel further south uses either the same or a very closely neighboring frequency.
You merely cannot say whatever you wish on SOMEONE ELSE'S forum.
Imagine that you are taking a ride on a train. You're having a crappy day, the train was late, the clerk at the desk selling tickets was rude, and you're talking to your friend about how you dislike this train line in general. The ticket inspector hears you and kicks you off the train. Is that fair? By your previous logic it must be.
Imagine that you are walking down the street, see a couple of cops eating donuts while leaning against their patrol car, and comment to your friend that you think cops are overpaid thugs. These cops immediately proceed to arrest you. Is that fair? By your previous logic it must be.
Free speech used to be about how you could stand in the town square and say whatever you wanted so long as it wasn't illegal. No one stands in the town square anymore - the new town squares are, you guessed it, places like Facebook, Youtube, game forums etc. The town square is the internet, and we are selling the right to free speech because the poor widdle companies get sad if we say things they don't like to hear.
And how is it wrong to document for the world to see that sometimes, all it takes to make people unfurl a banner saying Death To All Jews... is five dollars?
Not to mention the lawsuits when someone gets hit by a car because the light strip was malfunctioning. You know, instead of stopping to look BOTH WAYS before crossing the street like we were taught when we were three years old.
Seriously, that is what smartphones do: They make adults dumber than a three year old kid. This just proves it.
The 0.21 is percent. In Denmark, and I'm guessing Germany as well, we count it in promille, which is 1/1000. So yeah, 0.5 promille is 0.05 percent. I actually had to stop and think about this for a second because the numbers instinctively felt wrong for this very reason.
If your ISP throttles your bandwidth it STILL won't make a difference if you download 6 x 500 KB one at a time (3 MB) or simultaneously (3 MB). In fact there are several use cases where downloading them one at a time can reduce the needed bandwidth because you can stop the page after one or two images that you actually need are done. That is the same reason why jpg images load the way they do, giving you a chance to see early on if it's the image you're after or not.
Slashdot even gets crazy timeouts if you're lagging TOO much. Won't load all comments, maybe won't even load the main page or stories... And looking at this site it really should be just friggin' text.
That doesn't even make sense unless you assume that the webserver is limiting how much bandwidth each requested item is allotted, and not how much bandwidth each requesting IP is allotted.
I can imagine Facebook, Twitter etc. blowing up over this.
Besides, if they get password access how can they use ANYTHING they find as evidence of anything? They've got WRITE access, for crying out loud! The evidence chain isn't just poisoned, it's rotted right through.

TVs and the like have had a Demo functionality for being shown in stores for the past ... two decades? More?
Why the flying hell do cars not have a Rental setting that wipes all data with the press of a single button?!

Snopes says that Snopes is reliable. Just the same way that the Bible is the word of God because the Bible says so.

Maybe he just, I dunno, likes it?

The relaunch of the Nokia 3310 later this year may be interesting for a dumbphone.
So how did the Kool-Aid taste?

Departmental or direct IM.
Bonus points: You can refer back to the conversation after lunch to see if you remember the details correctly without having to ask again.
No need to be that inventive with the name:

Because you don't just ROLL A WHALE onto a TARP and DRAG IT OFF.
Seriously, that's cartoon level science.
No, I assume there is a chance that they will be.
I am on a 448/96 kbps ADSL connection which is the fastest possible available to the house that I own.
So which should be the biggest indicator of my available money to spend? My connection speed or owning the house I live in?

I think you mean when Pokemon GO came out.
Nope, just you.
They are trying to find evidence that's in your favor, not evidence against you.
I have a bridge I'd like to sell you.
I assume only Facebook and LinkedIn would help you make a case that you should be committed.
Fixed that for you.
