UK Report Slams EULAs
·
· Score: 4, Interesting
But I always felt that EULAs, especially 'shrinkwrap' ones, never met the old tests for a contract: - a 'meeting of the minds' - agreement in exchange for 'a valuable consideration received'
Downtown Vegas has a drought of free Wi-Fi --- the casinos don't offer it, even in the rooms. They have these 'office' areas downstairs with pay-by-the-minute fees. Yecch!
By coincidence, I have launched my own network of local roads for access to the rest of the world. Notably absent from the deal: The highway and freeway systems.

The fact that your outcome is more likely than the one I hoped for is depressing.
Comcast subscribers, particularly the more technically-adept ones, should give the FCC more input. A letter to your local congressional representative wouldn't hurt, either.
No, just looking at your statements was sufficient.
Hey, guys, don't mod this guy down and make him in his own eyes a martyr. Respond to him. Show how far off he is in not acknowledging recent historical examples.
Especially get on him for the 'their own fault' statement.

See the concept of 'fails gracefully' - where if your software assumes one set of conditions, and has problems, it drops down to the earlier, more commonly used conditions.
Or not.
I suppose one way to get to IPv6 is to have the world's most notorious monopolist promote it. I'm sure there's a pony in that steaming pile of Vista somewhere...:)

This animal really needs to become some university's mascot - maybe one with a politically incorrect mascot...

Hey, I respect gun owners, but that's a spurious comparison.
I can't pull out my Nikon and hold up a liquor store.
Not unless the clerk is REALLY vain.

>Comcast... purposely slows down some traffic on its network, including some music and movie downloads...

Our young adults are learning an important lesson - money talks.
