    and until that happens, I have every right to use that application to it's fullest ability within the rights of my TOS.

    How difficult is this folks? I paid for a service, i'm going to use it. Nothing you, TW or anyone else can do, short of changing the service and the TOS accompanied with it.

    If you want to saturate your bandwidth downloading mp3s, movies, whatever,go ahead...at least I'm paying for a service and within all legal and agreements to use it. At the highest quality level that i can.

    read the rest of the sentence...

    Is it too much to have people finish sentences before acting like they know everything? You're like microsoft products:

    looks like you're typing a sentence, let me finish it for you...incorrectly.

    Why?

    I am limited in my bandwidth from my provider. I can do whatever I want with that bandwidth, providing it's within the law and the agreement that I signed when I became a customer of my ISP.

    If I want high quality lower compressed telephone calls, and I'm not breaking any agreements, then i should be able to do that.

    I pay for this bandwidth, it's better that I make a call and use my bandwidth than become one of the many who are spending bandwidth trading kiddie porn.

    I hate star trek :)

    Phillip Dick, James Morrow, Neal Stephenson, William Gibson, and many others.

    I've read Ulysses, and many other classics. I just don't enjoy them. I don't read for the sake of reading, I read for enjoyment.

    As a bibliophile, do you cringe at the concept of digitizing most works? The lot of people I know are shocked that I would even support such a thing. They condone the use of dead tree.

    I have friends who don't have time to sit down with a book, they tend to read on the go, digital works, ebooks,etc. When I say bibliophiles are 'elitist'(s), I mean they can't imagine anyone enjoying anything but curling up with a nice piece of dead tree in their hands. They go to a point to say that those who don't read classic literature, etc are inferior, lowly, not really educated or even intelligent.

    I hate that attitude.

    What's a complex text? I read trade journals, science fiction, historical fiction, etc...

    I tend to think those are complex...they certainly deal with complex issues, takes some knowledge of the topic to understand them...but I tend not to read 'classic' literature. I read those in college and high school.

    He's an elitest fool...in fact, and this is probably the broadest generalization I've ever made, most bibliophiles are.

    I did mention that all news station exhibit Political partisanism. I actually don't get to watch FOX during the day...i'm at work.

    But at night, I see enough junk during the prime time segments to make it seem like nothing more than a Right winged organization. CNN, NBC are also the same, but I'm not a right winged person...so I tend not to bitch too much...but it's true, they are politically motivated.

    but you saying bloggers are bad for being politically motivated is just wrong...all main stream news orgs are...

    And this is different from FOX News how?

    Political Agenda is what that 24 hour POS news station is all about. Political partisan nature is what most news stations are all about.
