If ISP's just wanted to block incoming connections, they wouldn't be using CGNAT - they'd just be using a stateful firewall. CGNAT is because the IPv4 address pool is becoming limited.
For instance, the whole 0.999... = 1 thing. I think that's a load of crap. You can bring in all sorts of complex calculations, but the fundamental rules (as we're taught) say a run-on number like 0.999... goes on forever. No matter how far back you get, there's a 9 at the end. That 9 isn't going to get a 1 added to it and start a domino effect to magically make it 1.
It's not that 0.999... turns into 1, 0.999... IS 1. 0.999... is simply another way to represent the number 1, just like 2/2 is.
Not only that, there is no 9 at the end because there is no end.
250kBs that's 2000 of the 100000 bits per second I was sold (10 megabit connection)
Nitpick: that's 2000000 (2mbit) of 10000000 (10mbit)
Download rates actually typically decrease when your upload rate increases even though the connection is bidirectional and should have no issues doing both at once.
This is because when you download, your computer send packets back to the source to say "Yes, I got this". So, if you use the upstream for uploading a file, the download can't get its packets out fast enough to keep up with the downstream.
Of course, when a US court uses the same reasoning to bring down a decision applying our legal rules to other havens-from-law, such as thepiratebay.org, then we may expect Slashdotters not to celebrate, but to cry bloody murder.... But thepiratebay.org has absolutely nothing to do with the USA, except that it's accessible from the US, and every other country, via the internet.

I learned a new word today!
Sure, if somebody's tailgating that closely, they're an idiot. That doesn't mean you aren't also an idiot.
Why not provide a stylus and an app that would make the iPad behave like electronic paper.
I would pay good money for electronic paper. It doesn't even need to have anything else - just a good electronic paper device.

What makes you think this? It's not like trains/buses/busy malls/crowded security lines get blown up weekly.
you mean sort of a You-and-You-and-YouTube?
YouCubed?
Careful - Anonymous Coward has a nasty multiple personality disorder.
Or, we could just start using IP multicast for all audio and video streaming. We're talking 15 year old technology here... why isn't anybody using it?
Becuase nobody watches the same thing at the same time?
On the contrary - idiots are the only ones that expect shit to be smart.

Certainly.
It's not a screen, it's digital paper. There's no touchable form of this yet.

One sony and both iRex devices seem to have touchscreen capability, according to this page.
But you know, there was never a quiet minority.
What about the mutes? Or the mimes?
How do you manage to put your underwear on your legs and not your head?
Explain this to me again. Underwear *doesn't* go on my head?
Maybe it is, maybe it isn't - have you actually *seen* this mod point?
How can I get myself put on the no-fly list? I want to make it official.
Become a suicide bomber.
And you, apparently, are too young to remember how to make a butterfly flap its wings in just the right manner.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see how meeting (or even exceeding) this requirement could be much of a problem.
P.S. This is a joke. Only because you believe it is.
Also, there are still quite a few CRT displays out there, and a CRT uses more power than an LCD in the first place.
