If the corporations cannot exist without the government and the government is what enforces my inability to trade freely with other entities that could supply internet service in its absence, how is it not the government's responsibility to regulate the way they do business?
The government is preventing me from picking alternate internet providers, so it needs to either regulate those limited choices or not limit them in the first place.
If we're going to throw left vs. right stones here, it sounds like right wingers don't actually want "less government." They want a government that exists solely to guarantee profitability of established business at the expense of economic anarchy and the rights of the private citizen. If "right wingers" did not actually want a bigger government, you'd see them refusing pork defense projects and they'd be fighting to rid us of the federal highway system and farm subsidies. They'd also stop trying to regulate abortion, marriage, and keep religion and faith based initiatives out of government.
Using your logic, no government at all is best. If there were no local government to sign monopoly power over to these corporations, then I could buy internet from whoever provides me with a neutral network.
So let's disband local governments or make it illegal for governments to sign exclusivity agreements with Verizon and Comcast, and then we won't have to regulate what they do with their monopolies.
They're funded by Verizon and convince people to support them because they favor "less taxes" and "smaller government", but they mainly want to get rid of net neutrality.
Why are our tax dollars funding things like this when we're losing a war and faith based initiatives are underfunded? We need to shrink our government and trust that if there were any hope for this to work, private industry would be investing in it so they could maximize their long term profits.
Russia gains money. It might not be significant on a national level, but it likely involves businesses that senior government officials are involved in.
It's so sad that we have to chose between building dams that interfere with wildlife that we eat for food and foreign oil. If only there were more than just those two sources of energy, we wouldn't have this problem!
Your analogy is far from what happened here. A lot of these people were simply attending meetings in an attempt to change official policy.
Just because Karl has a history of vandalizing the deli doesn't mean the state has a right to tell Joe which people share Karl's political viewpoints and are trying to lawfully shut down the deli through zoning changes.
In this case, you have state employees who have clearly violated federal free speech laws, does that mean that we should track the peaceful political actions of all federal employees on their private time for being associated with them?
I agree with you 100% as far as Safari is concerned and I'm glad that I don't need to hack my iPhone just to block flash.
However, as far as apps with a flash runtime are concerned, people will just see them as slow and broken and blame the apps. I don't think people would even use them long enough for it to interfere with the overall perception of battery life.
Apple has a lot less to fear now that Flash has proven to be a miserable failure on Android. Honestly, though, they should have just let Flash fail on its own.
To prevent them from removing competition, write a law that says that content distributors and producers cannot be ISPs, and split the company up. Again.
It's cheapest to dump my waste mercury in the ground on my property. If I'm you're neighbor, and you happen to have a well that you drink from, surely you support my God given right to do this without government interference.
It's only slightly more expensive to keep all the disks online and use virtual tapes on them. You can even raid them and test them occasionally in order to find flaws. Depending on your scale, the cost for the disk bays and disk controllers may be less than the cost of a tape library.
Proposing government action through tax breaks and using state owned energy companies as an example to follow hardly seems like a libertarian position.
Which delivery system is proven? The space shuttle is expensive, slow, and unsafe. Solid rockets are good for cargo, but not for people. Can't we just buy rockets from the russians to launch our people up and use older technology for cargo?
Agreed. Worms tend to have a way of infiltrating private networks. This is especially true if any of your users have laptops that are allowed to connect to the outside world or even worse, leave the building.
Database Modeling and Design: Logical Design, 4th Edition. Its ISBN is 0126853525. It taught me a lot about how databases work "under the hood". If you want to know the performance implications of a b+ tree index vs. a b-tree, this book will help.
How is not driving at all unlike unplugging something? Also, blowing up or destroying vehicles is a stupid way to protect anything, especially since it will likely result in a net increase in every kind of pollution.
Until recently you had to jump through hoops for all object construction and memory allocation. It was very difficult to write or use even basic algorithms that are compatible with both Symbian and anything else. See http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/Two-phase_construction If you don't do it quite right, your code will probably still work in their "simulator," but will fail on the actual device. Remote debugging the simulator used to require two physical serial ports looped to each other via null modem cable.
Personally, I'd rather develop for any other platform.
You would be correct if everyone willing to work in these fields was presently employed. A number of those jobs will likely be taken by the skilled people who are currently employed as they will be willing to work for lower salaries and more willing to move to this location. Without this project, a small portion of these funds would also have to be spent to pay these people to do nothing.
I don't have any studies to cite. Safari, Chrome, and Firefox have all started running plugins in a separate process. This is primarily due to Flash taking down the browser repeatedly. Safari even added a special error message to keep people from hating the browser: http://fukamachi.org/wp/wp-content/photo/misc/flash_crash.png
Before this was supported, I personally checked out the stack traces on most Safari and Firefox crashes. It was almost always executing a flash function.
When it's not crashing, it's draining a lot of battery. I suspect this is because it simply loops instead of sleeping for events.

Are you saying we're at risk if a rogue nation were to nuke the sun??

They could install wipers. Also, I would assume that the cameras can be made to record even when the light is not red.
Comcast business works well for our lower volume needs. ~48megabits is $200/month.

Reprocessing is expensive. The French are only able to do it with massive government subsidies.
