    Why doesn't the android have USB- HOST mode?

  12. Re:We told you. on FCC's Net Neutrality Plan Blocks BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    Not sure where you are going on your thought. I agree, that the government is constantly told to "do something". Look at kids and cars for example. They [bunch of rich moms] actually got some car-safety legislation passed. Why you ask? Because it makes them feel important. Safety-theater...

    Its the way of the world, rub a cops nose in trouble, and you force him to act. Why expect otherwise.

    IMHO it is honorable to do-nothing, or have a waiting period for new legislation, a cooling off period to see if its still relevant. But that won't happen.

    What to do? Simple, join an effort, any effort. My effort is wikispeedia.org I urge anyone to give 30seconds of your day and contribute. Its the purist thing on the Internet so you should reward us with 30seconds of your time. Ok, peace out.

    It was designed for "take away" messages at the exit of a science center. Eg, a quiz with A-B multiple choice, scoring, takes your picture if you win and keeps it on the wall.
