From all this invasion of privacy and analysis of our records, have we caught anyone? Stopped any attacks? Where's Osama?
It would just be nice to know for ONCE the consequences of the actions other than reading about how ordinary people can be spied upon by their Government.
"The groups say the Federal Communications Commission must be given power to regulate broadband providers that might want to do things like charging content providers extra for the privilege of faster delivery or other preferential treatment."
Preferential for those who pay more for it, as far as I can see this will just make the price of a high speed connection go even higher?
Is this the price of progress? Or should we be grateful that these companies want to completely change the system in their favour?
I got tired of the rather low quality cable box that AT&T Broadband provides with their digital cable service. It's slow to change channels, ridden with ads, and the program guide is a joke. So, I figured it'd be fun to try and build a replacement. Yes, I could have just bought a TiVo, but I wanted to have more than just a PVR -- I want a webbrowser built in, a mail client, maybe some games. Basically, I want the mythical convergence box that's been talked about for a few years now.
I have a new idea and none of you can copy it since I have already patented it.
It's called 'Patent-It-Now' where you can take any new & obscure idea and instantly patent it for a small fee of $1999.99. **Fees subject to change, please read the disclaimer for further details.

Americans who have given up on caring about anything truthful being discussed in today's world are not bothered by NSA spying.
Seriously, if the NSA will not give security clearances (thereby stopping the investigation) to the Federal Prosecutors trying to investigate this alleged spying on Americans, does the US actually have ANY checks and balances on uncontrolled power?

If the price will go higher, who is to benefit other than these few corporations?
I guess people will go back to dial up and South Korea will remain as the country with the highest average connection speed for its populace.

At first Open Source was responsive the advances, but after finding out its history of use and abandonment - it felt ashamed and dirty.
1.83Ghz - $1099.00
2.0 Ghz, 60GB HDD- $1299.00
2.0 Ghz, 80GB HDD, Black - $1499.00
So you will pay an extra $400 for approximately 0.17Ghz faster speed, 20GB more space and a black finish to look cool?
Why not just release it for $1500 and include a 100GB HD, 2Ghz, and the choice of any colour you like?
So why not just say it deletes everything in your P2P directories?
