  2. Re:And downloading "data" to smartphone... on AT&T Lowers Data Access To Just $500/GB · · Score: 1

    Perhaps you can bookmark your post, then come back and answer that question yourself... after you've lost your job or got wiped out by a lengthy hospital stay or been bested in a lawsuit, and are thereafter unable to continue making your monthly payments on the long-term contracts that are often required if you'd like to pay for service after the fact?

    "Bad credit" does not always mean "irresponsible".

    (BTW, in case you've never noticed... Being poor makes it a just bit more challenging to establish credit than being well-off does.)

  3. Re:Advancement of commercial internet. Not like th on Internet2 Turns 15. Has It Delivered? · · Score: 1

    It's about $45/month (300 SEK, including tax) for my 100/100 connection here in Stockholm, although the fibre still belongs to B2. But there are no caps, no throttling, no filtering, and no restrictions on running servers or torrents; I get to control which ports I want to have open/closed; and although we don't yet have IPv6 support, I get 4 public IP addresses. It'll do.

    Let me translate that into year-4-speak for you, then, mate: "Liar, liar, pants on fire!"

    (For the adults in the audience: Yes, I *do* treat such intellectual honesty as j33px0r's with the utter contempt which it so richly deserves.)

  5. Re:content creator on Old Media Says Google Will Destroy Film & Music · · Score: 1

    You are a content creator? Is that a career? You have had a few jobs and semi-viral videos?

    Nice try at pulling a few words out of context and pretending that's all that was said. (Or nice major fail at reading comprehension, take your pick.)

    theheadlessrabbit did not say he'd only had a few jobs and they'd all come from being on YouTube, he said some of his jobs came about as the result of being on YouTube.

    FOAD.

    And I will go out on a limb here and say that you are perhaps a bit naïve.

    Pure speculation. We know Riker got Troi, but Picard...well, all we know was he was an old, unmarried, childless Frenchie. You may presume that he got more alien tang, but such is never brought to light.

    Au contraire, mon frère!

    Picard got Vash FTW.

    (There was also Nella Daren, but I always thought she was fairly ordinary.)

    In Australia, my Swedish phone "just works". It also "just works" in... let's see... Norway, Denmark, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, UK, Latvia, Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Cambodia, ...

    Come to think of it, my phone "just works" even in (*gasp*) COMMUNIST CHINA (*gasp*).

    But not in the US.

    No, I'm suggesting that giving power to people who actually want it is perhaps not always the best idea.

  14. Re:The same people back both sides on Engineering Election Debates With Subtle Cues · · Score: 1

    What if holding public office were regarded in the same way that most people seem to view jury duty?

    I have long been attracted to the notion that leaders should be dragged kicking and screaming into office.

    I mean, if I'm not doing anything wrong, what's the problem if Google, the goverment, or such, track me?

    This depends also on what Google and the government consider "wrong".

    I was using "quality" in the sense of "peculiar and essential character", "nature", "an inherent feature" but I like yours better.

    That's some fucked-up shit, man.

    Gaddafi is nothing if not a congenital liar, and this case was hardly any different. He claimed that his "adopted daughter" was killed in the 1986 bombing of Libya, but this was later shown to be nothing more than propaganda.

    I find it a good idea to make Internet only for 18+, so we can finally stop the stupid debates of content filtering, content ratings, etc. ...

    Please make the internet an "adult zone" and just stop all discussions about internet ratings and content filtering.

    While we're at it, let's make television, radio, and all printed and recorded media part of that adult zone as well.

    Problem solved!
