Black voters have been voting overwhelmingly democrat for decades. I'm not saying that some didn't vote based on colour, but it's not that far off the general trend.
It would break the economic model for things like "Netflix online" unless they used really tight compression, but face it, sometimes a plastic disc or a dedicated video-on-demand cable channel really is more efficient than the public internet.
Depends on how you mean by "efficient".
Shipping a disc across the country doesn't strike me as very efficient.
As for the latter, that's likely the entire point of this. It's certainly "efficient" in terms of all the money goes to one company, but I frankly don't think this is the good kind of efficiency.
Access has a soft-cap. They're throttle you during peak hours (3pm to 1am) if you exceed their unspecified limit (which I never manged to hit, despite running torrents 24x7), but it returns to full off-peak.
Shaw has a hard cap that varies depending on the rate. 20GB at the lowest (256k/128k) and 150GB at the highest (25Mb/1Mb).
And if you think they are going to meter their partners (aka : people who pay them money), you should share what you're smoking. Barring regulation forcing them to meter everything, this is a direct path to the end of net neutrality.
The cost of laying and maintaining a cable across the ocean is a lot more than it is to lay and maintain a cable across land.
NZ is the former, US, Canada, etc. are the latter.
As far as me, $60/month for 2Mb/256Kb with no cap. If I was in the nearest city, I could get 10Mb/1Mb, also without a cap, for the same price. or 25Mb/1Mb in select places with a 150GB cap for $93/month.
Taking the warning labels off everything doesn't work in this instance, as them getting infected results in other people's stuff getting screwed up (DoS'd servers, etc.).
I could hopefully prevent them from blackholing each other, which is effectively sabotage, as it makes it look like the link is still working fine, when all traffic is actually being dumped to/dev/null. If you want to stop peering, fine, unplug the lines. But make it known so systems can easily route around the damage.
I believe Comcast gets their connectivity from Level3 or AT&T, depending on the area, but any path going through a cogent-sprint peer at some point would be affected, though that would pretty much be a "nothing we can do about it" problem as far as Comcast goes.
Try running traceroute (tracert in windows) and see where things are going, or maybe try Cogent's looking glass to find out if you're hitting in this.
Depends what you mean by "cables". the coax cable systems and such run by Comcast are not backbone. Backbone are high bandwidth (multi-gigabit) fibre optic lines, mostly running between major cities and associated hardware in the cities, and AFAIK, Comcast does not own any of the latter. They purchase transit capacity on them from other companies, such as Level3 and AT&T's backbone division.

How about a study that adjusts for the effect of abstinence-only sex "education"?
Unfortunately, I don't think any state besides California has a vexatious litigant status.

I think that was Republicanism 6.5 or so.
the LHC is not a continuous source. You'll run out of particles in the main ring after about 90 microseconds.
Judging by google results, it sounds like "video microblogging", a la Twitter.
AVI is not a codec, it's a container. The audio and video of an AVI file could be pretty much any format, with whatever feature sets of those codecs.

Sasktel's limit is nonexistent.

All in Saskatchewan, Canada.

That's assuming the little retainer doesn't break when you press on it due to the plastic being too brittle.
The Tevatron is big money science. the LHC is bigger money science.
KDE 3.5.9 was released February 19, 2008.
Bitdefender used to have something like this called linuxdefender, though all indications point to it having been discontinued.
Nah, it's in a wallet.
Of course, the difficultly is in defining exactly what "not playing nice" is.

Reentry News says west of Mexico.
That's for PPV (pay per view) stuff. Starchoice has the same thing on their boxes, but it's not required unless you want to get PPV stuff.

I said Catholics gave up crusading. I said nothing about Methodists.
