I'm guessing the troll mod is for implying that the right has a monopoly on an echo chamber news source desires. It is intellectually dishonest to deny that human nature and crosses party lines and ideologies.
I'm fairly pro-market... The internet these days is basically a utility
This is the problem in a nutshell. Internet service is not provided by a free market. Government has create internet service provider utilities via cable and phone company competition restrictions. Only when we get real choice will the situation improve.
In Cleveland, every network channel except the ABC affiliate is changing frequency. PBS is not broadcasting in digital yet, and the current NBC ATSC broadcast on channel 2 is poor.
2/3 of people without broadband is meaningless. This is not the same population set as the people without access, because it includes all the people with access who choose not to get broadband.
The better question is, what percentage of people without broadband access want it?
I fully expect congress to continue spending my descendants money on corporate bailouts - because the same bums that have been doing this got re-elected.
Not at all. If you have more than 1 service sharing a database, then you are doing it wrong. The idea here is to have many well defined and independent services. These services are called using a workflow like process. This workflow process is "business aligned". The benefit comes when multiple business workflows can share the services, and as business workflows change simply by re-sequencing the service calls.

I know a stretch like that, only it is setup for going the 35 mph speed limit. Problem is, as I drive along at 35, the morons around me get impatient and pull in front, racing to the red light. Now when the light turns green, all these morons need to get going again, and I have to slow down. Rinse and repeat, its not long before I miss the light.
Having it setup for 7-9 mph over the limit (or perhaps only 5) would likely work out better.

And because of this, so many have to endure that STD called Websphere.

Dial *82 before calling.

as a society we'd be better off to support only businesses that contribute back to our economy (i.e. American businesses).
Not true of the exporters and the manufacturers of exported goods. They gain by the prosperity of other nations.
All that just to sign up for ESPN 360? I think the proxy idea would be simpler ;-)
Another anecdotal complaint...

Talk about confusion.
I wouldn't want to be the one answering the phones at the first station that turns off its analog signal voluntarily.
Which is another way of saying you can forget about that gradual transition part.
I wouldn't want to manage 1,000,000,000 beta testers reports. After the 1,000th report of feature x breaking, the point is taken.
It is pretty difficult to get down to a 19% approval rating without a bipartisan effort.
Oh please. Let me guess, you live in a desert area.
The US is in the bottom half by population density. http://www.worldatlas.com/aatlas/populations/ctydensityh.htm

There is a big difference between "try xyz, you might like it" and "you are going to xyz and like it!"
Who is to say each request is for a different person? Perhaps the people the police are after are using multiple online identities.
It also wouldn't be surprising if the same identity requests were repeated.
A third possibility is a request for the identity of possible victims.
Finally, evidence collected is not always enough for an arrest, much less a conviction. This doesn't mean an investigation isn't warranted.
Not to say the information shouldn't come with a cost, but the hit miss ratio may not be nearly as bad as you think.
Try to exist between Open and Closed and you will get torn to pieces by their gravity.
Sounds like you are talking about IBM there, except they seem to be doing well with that model.

Only if Widget X is made by a monopoly.
So a country full of poor people refuses cheap food just so a few people can make a little money. Brilliant!
Your right to vote has been revoked for failing the civics test. There are NINE supreme court justices.
No, and not so much to the GP as well. Even the destitute can find a lawyer who will represent them, given a decent change of winning.
In criminal cases, DAs try to avoid cases where they can't win.
If only. In criminal cases, DAs try to do what they believe will get them re-elected. Sometimes that means prosecuting without much evidence.
