I never said I was in favor of this. I just wondered why you assumed that a city-run Wi-Fi service would automatically charge every citizen for service. If I don't have water hooked up at my place, I don't get charged.
Instead of answering my question you make a silly remark about metering, whoring for the "Funny" moderation.
The last time I checked, I wasn't paying my city for water services whether I was using it or not. Where do you get the idea that Wi-Fi will be different?
There is already legal precedent that P2P file sharing technology in itself is indeed legal. The Federal Appeals court that ruled was talking about networks like Morpheus and Grokster, but I would think the precedent set also applies to Bittorrent.
"History has shown that time and market forces often provide equilibrium in balancing interests, whether the new technology be a player piano, a copier, a tape recorder, a video recorder, a personal computer, a karaoke machine, or an MP3 player," Thomas wrote. "Thus, it is prudent for courts to exercise caution before restructuring liability theories for the purpose of addressing specific market abuses, despite their apparent present magnitude."
I must admit, I never watched the show But it sucked, and sucked quick no chemistry with the cast. The shows had no excitement. And there was no science. but I feel sad if it is leaving the air
Quite an authoritative review from someone who's never seen the show...
A year or two ago I bought an "intelligent" A/V switchbox that switched composite and s-video, and would even convert composite inputs to s-video outputs. But the great thing was it switched to whatever source you just turned on.
I had DirecTV on #1, DVD on #2, VCR on #3, videogame on #4. While watching the Sat, turn on the DVD, poof! Turn off the DVD, and back to sat. Worked great. Unfortunately, I don't have it anymore, and can't find it online to give you a link.

Wow, you just like to be angry.

I can see it now:
Introducing the new PSP+! Guaranteed no dead pixels due to new CRT technology! Only 3 times the size and twice the weight of the original PSP!
A programming language that can respond to /. editors in natural language like "You idiot!" when duplicate articles are posted.
Shooting yourself in the foot (in Metafor):
"Shoot yourself in the foot."

Here's a quote from a news story back in August:
