  1. Re:Should read on FCC Approves Net Neutrality Rules · · Score: 1, Informative

    We have a Conservative President. He is far more Conservative than Reagan or Bush Sr.
    We only have Conservative parties at the moment. There is the just right of center Democrats, and the holy-shit-complete-nutbag so far to the right as to be off the fucking charts Republicans. And then we have the Tea Party subset that make THEM look sane.

    Ouch. you can't present facts to the Fox crowd. They have never seen a fact before, it is an alien thing. It sparks a fight-or-flight response.

    Fox News refusing to show you the open and up front discussions on this does not mean they didn't happen. You should try a different source for your information.

    They do that out here. The cities have laid a fiber network and charge a small fee to anyone who hooks up to it. The providers are all given equal access to that network. We have 12 of them, and they fight tooth and nail to get your business. No caps, cheap costs, and customer service just this side of fellatio.

  6. Re:Gonna see a Net Neutrality Fee on FCC Approves Net Neutrality Rules · · Score: 5, Insightful

    No need. Taxpayers already gave Comcast and Verizon $2.5Bn to ensure that rural broadband is set up.
    Of course, they immediately used it to increase executive salaries and pay out bonuses to themselves- but they will do as they promised eventually, right? Its only been 10 years, it would be absurd to expect some sort of progress on this already.

  8. Re:Easy of porting over is the key on The State of Linux Gaming In the SteamOS Era · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I bought my 14 year old daughter a new laptop that had Windows 8 on it. She wiped it out and installed Linux. She runs Steam for most games, and WINE for a couple because Steam does not quite work for them.

    She is not computer illiterate, but she is not an IT guru either. She googles what she needs to know and follows guides she finds.

    I beg to differ. I moved from sysadmin to security because this is where the growth is, and doubled my salary. I get headhunters and poachers several times a week trying to lure me away with wheelbarrows full of money. Companies are finally starting to realize they need to take security seriously.

    This report details the tea party astroturf movement very well.

  12. Re:Best money Tom Steyer ever spent on Obama Vetoes Keystone XL Pipeline Bill · · Score: 0

    The Tea Party is an astroturf effort that started in the mid 80's primarily driven by Phillip Morris to oppose tobacco regulations, with lots of support from Koch industries to expand it to all regulations. There is nothing spontaneous or grass roots about it.

    Very well documented and sourced by this report- originally dug in to to see the extent of tobacco astroturfing when the tobacco lawsuits started turning up tons of documents on the topic during discovery.

    I have often wondered about that. Solar arrays running desalinization plants to irrigate large swatch of desert would change our climate for the good in short order.
    Sprinkle it with hearty fast growing edible crops and watch the populations thrive too.
