  1. the most successful anti drug ad ever was the simple egg and frying pan

    You have got to be kidding. We used to make fun of that one in particular: "Who wants to eat raw eggs? Pass the bong, dude."

    Net Neutrality does *not* mean anyone is obligated to host your content, and it never did.

    There's no "version" of NN.

    NN means All communications are created equal and are treated equally by the connection provider, irrespective of where they come from or where they go.

    Period.

    You're welcome.

    FEE is a propaganda outlet for True Believers in Hayek, Mises, and other economic charlatans.

  7. I do in fact work for a HUGE corporation (it's in the Forbes Top 5) that has some of the most capable (not to mention evil) lawyers that money can buy.

  8. You assume much, and wrongly. (For one thing, I don't do streaming or gaming at all.)

    I use my work VPN for *work* and if my employer had reason to believe I was using it for entertainment purposes or illegal activities, I'd be out of a job very quickly.

    Some of us use the browser to perform actual work and do not take kindly to having our workflow messed up because UX-tards.

    I consider TabMixPlus indispensable and so do many of my colleagues. Glad to be on 52ESR courtesy of my distro, and hoping by the time they upgrade that TMP has been ported.

    It would be best if Mozilla got off this "We know better than you do what you want or need in your UI" attitude, though.

    Somebody linked to this "But Google!" tripe at Bloomberg yesterday (and a similar piece at WSJ). It's no less disingenuous today.

    Right, we'll be SO much better served if msmash continues to post stories about mobile homes while marking submissions critical of social media as "spam".
