I have an unlimited plan, I use less than 100 megs a month and I am throttled, so it isn't always done by usage it seems to be a b;blanket throttle where I am.
Don't want to think., methodically manipulated by media, the people behind this sort of dis-information targeting children should be removed from any position of influence or power.
This is terrorism 101, scare the crap out of everyone because the laws and filters aren't going to work, yeah I know calling ti terrorism is hyperbole and dilutes the meaning but it's so timely. =) (smiley on/. infidel!)

That's another odd statement, I think the previous guy was trying to sell me something and you seem to be stating the obvious, I would not expect a compromised system to detect an issue (which is what I think you meant) the idea is to keep it from being compromised in the first place.
Reasonable thought out arguments don't get as much airtime, those that do are generally not "simple" enough for the general populace to grasp, so it's easier to say "if you aren't this then you're this" and in the US our media excels at this type of reporting, dumb down and free of depth or rational thought.
A sample of headlines: "POLL: Catholics turn on Obama..." "MURDOCH HIT BY FEUD OVER SUN" "Obama justice continues investigation...Witch hunt" "OUTLAW COUNTRY: Naked Texas cowgirl, 18, arrested after police chase..."
Rome fell because it was to large to manage effectively, and all civilizations suffer entropy being eaten away from the edges and corrupting at the core.
I was puzzled by the seeming lack of security on so many "critical" sites, lately I have been entertaining the idea that maybe they are that way for reason, so that something could "happen" and accelerate the Internet lock-down which benefits not only the Government but the content owners (MPAA/RIAA/etc) as well.
However for the little I know about Internet security, it seems to be a task of "how hard can I make it" rather than creating an impenetrable fortresses of data.
I hear what you're saying, but look at the last 10 years of computing, serial numbers in CPU's, "trusted" computing platforms, deep packet inspection, and much more.So what I expect to see soon is a law passed requiring people to "log on" to the Internet with a fixed user name and password or some other system of identification, it may even be hardware based and you will have to register a hardware "profile" with the ISP just as you would add your MAC to the cable ISP's system before you can actually get on the Internet. While these measures may not stop a "hacker", who would be able to clone this information or otherwise spoof it, it will keep Jack and Jill iPad from pirating or any other non-sense. Speaking of iPads I'm sure you folks out there love them but every time I use one I am overwhelmed (underwhelmed?) by the limited nature of the device, it's much closer to my "Internet turned into TV" analogy than anything else. The touch screen interface is useful, but in my experience with it far less useful than a mouse and keyboard combo hooked to a machine you can change hardware on or run different OS's on. To me an iPad is a media consumption tool not a computer in the traditional sense.
"The new system would require the disclosure of customer name, address, phone number, email address, Internet protocol address, and a series of device identification numbers. "
That part about the "series of device identification numbers" will likely be a hardware profile similar to the kind used for DRM'ing software and not just a MAC address, if every access point records this profile then this type of surveillance is extensive, very extensive. Your Internet fingerprint as it were.
For some reason I never associated Canada with this draconian crap, but there it is, along with Australia's equally intrusive measures soon the Internet will no longer be a forum of open discussion but rather one demoted to "content delivery" system, just like TV.
And with it will go jobs the economy slumps again and no one wants to pay for prime real estate, and to boot their phone system will be less reliable, more prone to attacks and hacking.
Every vehicle must be retrofitted with a beacon that relays an UID, speed, status of registration, cellphone usage, and any other important information for the vehicle to cell towers, and set up receivers in rural areas where cell reception is poor, if you speed it's transmitted instantly and you get a ticket, if you aren't registered you get a ticket, if you're on your phone while moving you get a ticket, just make it too expensive for idiots to drive. It's not a right it's a privilege and it's been abused for too long.
Every politician relies on "reality distortion" and our government wouldn't be able to exist without "reality distortion" this single trait starts at the top government officials and goes all the way down to obese women that wear Lycra shorts. In addition, Jobs was so successful after taking drugs (though not necessarily because of them) I think it's safe to say that at least some of the "War Against Drugs" (WAD) propaganda is complete and utter baloney, in fact I think about how ridiculous the WAD is every time I buy a bottle of vodka at the corner grocery.
As a service "patient confidentiality laws" may or may not be included or legally enforceable, are you going to read the EULA before you agree to it? The person on the other end may not be a licensed shrink, buyer beware.
It's ripe for abuse, if not from the person offering it then from the "man in the middle" which could be anyone from a Chinese hacker to the government, you're a fool to use Facebook, you are a TOTAL ass to use this and confide your deepest darkest.
No matter how far technology goes there is something to be said for face to face conversation, and in the area of psychiatric help it is critical.
Disclaimer: I am against most anti-depressant drug use, I feel cognitive therapy over the long term has better results without the nasty side effects, why do they use drugs then? Because it's cheaper, faster for the Doctor and longterm cognitive therapy is expensive and no one wants to cover it, plus for the patient it takes patience (no pun intended) Now for the idiots among us, I do feel SSRI's and other drug therapy can be helpful, so before you prattle on about that read and comprehend.

LOL I love it, I think you got modded down for using the jew word, other than that not far off the mark.
lawl you got modded up for linking teh pron.
Not sure what you're saying, in general I expect a server to have better protection than a client.
The thing that bothers em most about this is that it was an end users anti-virus that detected it rather than software protecting the servers.

If you aren't using their resources or time I don't think that's legal, and if it is get a new job.
Yes the answer to irrational behavior is always more irrational behavior.
No wonder they are all such fervent believers, they get killed if they aren't.

You may now mod this out of existence.
I buy almost everything online now, can't stand going into stores or malls they are depressing.
Every time I go to pastebin.com and look at the hacked sites the passwords are always weak, extremely weak, virtually no one uses strong passwords.
