Actually Canadian and US law differ quite a bit, as Canadian is still based heavily on British Common law, however US law changed quite a bit over the past few hundred years (for good and bad).
Not sure if it would really matter for this investigation though.
That's a really good point, if they would just get rid of corn subsidies, at least for corn used for fructose production soda would become expensive enough that sizes would likely drop anyway, and you wouldn't be paying for that crap with your taxes.
I think it's kind of a chicken and egg situation. Once there are more clients with 100 MBPS + , hosting companies will be getting more demand for faster servers and connections. On the other hand, if more websites were capable of serving downloads at faster speeds there would be more demand for faster home connections... It has to start somewhere.
I love my kindle fire, I often put it in my cargo pockets and take it around with me. I'd much prefer to have an iPad for the app support and they always seem to have a better touch interface on the iOS devices. I hope to see a 7" iPad soon!
I wouldn't think it would be a clear case of copyright infringement. It could be argued that the ISP putting an advertising bar at the top of a webpage is not that different from a browser toolbar containing advertising. If it turned out to be, then using programs such as adblock would also be copyright infringement or in fact viewing a webpage with images or javascript turned off in your browser?
In any case it's an evil practice in which I'm sure a solution can be found, maybe web servers should send some kind of hash which can be verified by the browser to make sure nothing changed in transit.
Seems like companies overcharging this much for cables are doing the world a favor. This money needs to be extracted from these people before it could be spent where it might do real harm.
One of the sites at a company I worked for provides fake data back when people attempt sql injection, sort of a honeypot to keep hackers interested long enough to track them down.
What I'd like to see is a municipal fiber line to a central office in every neighborhood. Then it would be possible to have dozens of of ISPs, telcos and cable companies competing for your business. Municipalities just made responsible for keeping the line from your house to a central building up and running. I think that would see the most choice and lowest cost in the long run.
Having two companies (phone, cable) run data lines to your house doesn't allow much competition or innovation.
Groupon could also have a way to stagger the date that you can redeem the certificates for example for every 10 they sell, the first date it can be used on goes forward one day. Probably by the time it got to a month people would stop ordering, but at least they would have the option to still buy and wait a month for their cheap cupcakes...

Okay, but I get: spam.spam.spam!

To buy Microsoft stock for my retirement plan...

Very interesting, I think they would need to add in a lot of "real world" situations like this into their programming.
Carriers sometimes have a "facebook only" internet plan for a discounted price. That type of thing could be a big money maker for both parties.
How many Frags did you get?

It sure is hard to defend yourself when they take everything from you...
I think it probably does show that better pricing models and more flexibility would increase their sales.
Other than the extensions, Chrome is a great browser. And websites are always trying to install rogue extensions which I find annoying.
Now that the value is known, there will be a lot of people suing facebook. It will keep their lawyers busy.

Hmm, maybe a server, cameras and a sex dungeon. ...
profit?

My ISP too, I seem to get a different class-a network each day. They must have a ton of IP addresses.

Always start by making sure the backups are working properly.

We can't wait that long, city revenues are down again!
That is actually a good thing, then legally it would have to come back to the actual contract, not what might have been inferred through an email.

This is why I refuse to ever buy ANYTHING with drm, music, software or ebooks.
To start with, if they sent their DNA off to China, not very smart.
