Why *wouldn't* they prioritize their services and the services of their partners? It's NOT a public service agency, it's a private business, of which there are several significant competitors.
I can't watch ANY of it, and quite frankly, the Libertarians are the worst. All of the politicos spout platitudes describing things they will never do, let alone even attempt, pandering to the extremes with promises that can'r possibly come true...
And the Libertarians are the absolute worst, with the exception of Lyndon LaRouche (who has in fact been dead for years - his body was preserved by the same folks who did Stalin). LaRouche and Ralph Nader, now there's a ticket I would vot for, just to be entertained for four years.
At this point, I must use the trademark Slashdot "WHOOOOOSH", because the original post was clearly a troll, yet you keep responding in a rational manner.
I understood your original comment... "WHOOOOOOSH".
So, I am pretty sure these RFID tags have nothing to do with the "mark of the beast", as almost 2000 years must surely be a stretch for "soon". All good and well.
Except that 2000 years is nothing, not even the "blink of an eye" in the time scale of the universe.
Titty bars in Washington State do not allow alcohol consumption. Yes, I know, ridiculous. In Oregon, booze is fine at titty palaces. In fact, in Oregon, many titty bars have laundromats and licensed day care facilities.
You're right, it's not. It's about the fact that he isn't a "viable" candidate, and in general will have exactly zero impact on the outcome of the election. With slightly larger numbers, he could be a "spoiler" like Ralph Nader, but seriously, at 7% in a Public Radio poll, he's a non-player.

Not out here in the sticks. There is no government facility for trash, you have to go to one of the private trash haulers. Or dump it down the side of a ravine while no one's looking.
Sorry, not buying it. I've lived "in the sticks" for many years, if you are dumping your trash in some ravine, especially someone else's ravine, you're an asshole, 100%.
I can't tell you what to do with YOUR property, if you want to dump trash all over it, what can I do? But if you're dumping your trash along other people's roads, you're not just an asshole, you're a criminal.
It's possible that the more recent dumpers don't even know they're not supposed to dump there; after seeing junk already piled up some may assume that it's a legitimate dumping ground.
Are you serious?
A "legitimate dumping ground" is a city / county / state facility, not down some dirt road near some guy's cabin.

And nothing of value was saved...
Why do we need "next generation" satellites? Why not build more of the same, which apparently have worked adequately for quite a while?
Not "sexy".

An unbiased opinion, I'm sure...
Because they are leveraging their monopoly...
Which "monopoly" is that? Last time I checked there were several competitors including Bing which has market share that is not insignificant.

Competition does not work when the service or item in question is more or less essential, and the barriers to entry are significant.
4G service *is not* "essential". Desirable perhaps, but not essential.

So when an outage happened, they were dead in the water, because their own people basically said "sorry, we don't do after hours support".
This is not a system failure, it's a Human Resources failure.
If you find a single biped not abusing sweeping privileges, please check for a pulse...
My wife gave me Sweeping Privileges, but I declined. Also, I am not Marty Feldman.
If the police are being outed undercover then don't whine when crime occurs.
If "Law Enforcement" didn't regularly abuse their sweeping privileges, maybe this wouldn't even have come up?
Wake me up when comments on Slashdot stories about Microsoft products are not filled with 90% snarky drivel.
I made a lot of money on bitcoins so you're wrong.
No.
You mad a lot of imaginary money which you will never be able to spend on anything tangible.
"i.e" is latin for "in other words"
"e.g." is latin for "for example"
Not precisely. Both are accepted abbreviations.
e.g. stands for the Latin phrase "exempli gratia".
i.e. Stands for the Latin phrase "id est".

You are only "roughly" a male? Or only "roughly" a female?
I don't understand.
I wonder if perhaps we should look at the "copyright" of the material in question and see if it is itself valid?
Just because a company asserts a copyright does not mean it's valid.
Religious rights end when they violate the law.
i.e. My mom says I can't go to school since
my family's religion is base on the Taliban.
This is Slashdot, you are not a female. You lie.

Well, you know, he had RoadRunner... In 2005, that was pretty wicked! If he had set up two or three accounts and load balanced them...
