Kind of funny that you have all the standard errors in your text, due to the crappy iPhone's keyboard turning apostrophes into something that's trademarked, so you're obviously using an iPhone. Back that ass up!
In Japan we have this thing called FLETS. Basically, one company puts down the infrastructure, and they own it, but once laid, they have to allow anyone to use it, for a fee of course. What this means is that basically, anyone can start an ISP. You negotiate fees on a per customer basis. I set up my ISP for my local community. I pay $20 per customer I sign up back to the infrastructure owner. The infrastructure owner has a database of ISPs that are registered with them. So in the user's modem, it has username@isp.domain. The infrastructure owner looks it up, replies with weather it's a valid ISP or not, then hands off the authentication to the ISP's authentication server. Once the customer is authorized, the ISP hands the routing back to the infrastructure owner and boom. The customer is online, subject to the rules put in place by the ISP on things like bandwidth, traffic shaping, etc. The infrastructure owner isn't allowed to run it's own ISP, so it forks off a subsidiary and competes with the other ISPs using the same method. You may have multiple dozens of ISPs available to choose from, and switching, is a simple matter of changing your login information on the modem once you have a contract in place with the respective ISP. It's simple, it works, and since pretty much all the ISPs charge within a couple dollars per month of each other, they compete on features, like bandwidth, caps, email plans, and whatnot. The infrastructure owner makes their cash off the fees to the providers and the ISPs are free to charge the customers whatever they want on top of that initial fee. Easy peasy. Really wish they would do that in the USA.
How about making terms in Congress akin to jury duty? You get selected and bam! You're in congress for 2 years. Or perhaps not congress but your local city/county/state government. Make it a burden. OR, once someone is elected into office, they don't get paid their salary. They get a house, transportation, clothing, food, basically what you get when you're in the military, and a small monthly stipend. Then, when their term is up, their constituents vote on how well they represented them, an "approval rating" of sorts. That resulting percentage determines what percentage of back pay they receive. The incentive is to represent their constituents and if they manage to get reelected, perhaps tack a bonus on dependent on the difference between the votes they received and the votes the person they beat out receives. I dunno, just off the top of my head here.
See, your bot has done it again. I said your post had nothing to do with the story at all. It's completely unrelated. Yet, here your bot is, scraping up the comments and replying nonsense. You're so worried what people think of you on the internet that you don't have anything better to do than spam your crap on unrelated stories. I feel sorry for you, you sad little man.
Anyone else noticed that APK's posts are an awful lot like Trump's tweets? Incoherent ranting not related to anything.
Yah, screw that. Fuck sticks don't rewind their DVDs before returning them, and of course Netflix doesn't care so the first thing I have to do when I get the DVD is waste 15 minutes rewinding it! SAD!/s
You've never "defeated" anyone. You're just like the proverbial pigeon playing chess, strutting around crapping on the board thinking you've won when none of your arguments have ever stood up to any scrutiny. There are places you can go to get help.
Then the page is wrong. Linking to an anchor that doesn't exist should put you at the top of the resulting page. Using JavaScript to "fix" something that isn't broken is stupid. JavaScript is NOT required in order to make that link work properly.
Also, the element id attribute doesn't have to be set at all for an anchor to work. You set the name attribute on an anchor tag to work as the target for a link. This is all HTML 101.
A <A NAME=serious>serious</A> crime is one which is associated
with imprisonment. ...
The Organization may refuse employment to anyone convicted
of a <a href="#serious">serious</A> crime.
The above html will allow you to link directly to the #serious element. No js needed.
I think you don't realize how good you have it. Without those subsidies, gasoline costs north of $8/gal (~$2/l) at the pump. Just like it does in the rest of the world. You're changing your argument again. Nobody was talking about clean energy in the thread you're responding to. We were talking about the price of gasoline and electricity. People in the USA bitch about electricity being $0.10 per kWh. Try around $0.80+ for the rest of the world.
I have a 5 bedroom 4 bath house in the USA and my electric bill is $60/mo because I turn shit off. Same habits when I lived overseas? $200+/mo

How about letting the users be responsible for the sites they visit? Why should the browser be doing your due diligence for you?
Oh don't give them too much credit. All they had to do was cut it loose from the ground and it fell into space.

people who offer commercial support for it, seem to think it's better.
There's your reason.
The problem is corruption and self interest. To paraphrase:
Those who want the power are the least suitable to wield it

Do you honestly think nobody can tell that this was posted by you apk? The depths you sink to feel good about yourself.
Nah, it was probably me. Sorry I hurt your feelings earlier APK.
I never mod down any comment by an AC. besides, your posts bury themselves.
Oh, you do know that most of these comments you like to tout as extolling the virtues of your software are sarcasm, right?

Might want to check your bot again APK. This is even less relevant to this story than it normally is.
If you're such an awesome coder, how come your scraper is crap?
Yah, screw that. Fuck sticks don't rewind their DVDs before returning them, and of course Netflix doesn't care so the first thing I have to do when I get the DVD is waste 15 minutes rewinding it! SAD! /s
Hey NYCL, it's ok. APK's a bot. He told me himself. Well, his bot did.
https://slashdot.org/comments.... - proof ;)
"Many of those people are women and children."
Why the fuck do you let children drive?
Nah, I just don't care. Keeping you busy here keeps you from posting your host spam elsewhere. Mission accomplished!
Until next time!
*sigh* Nope. guess your meds were late again.
Well, there's always tomorrow.
How about you provide a link to each of those comments made by the people you claim made them.
BTW, writing a text file parser is not a hard task.
Wow, didn't know that 4 people who profess to like your "software" constitutes "many orders of magnitude". I hope you don't program like you do math.
Also, some people like to eat human feces. Doesn't mean it's good.
Hope they bring your meds to your padded room on time today.
Cheers

You're a loony. You've probably got a cat license too.
U hate Naggers?
