  1. Re:Where do I sign up? on Every Day Is Goof-Off-At-Work Day At the US Patent and Trademark Office · · Score: 1

    More flamebait on an article from two days ago. You must be bored.

    Not everything is about your pet political scandal of the moment. Please keep the flamebait off of threads involving me. Thanks.

    The reason is that it is hard to fire a federal employee is so that the positions are not used to reward political allies and contributors every time someone new is elected.

  4. Not surprising on Mt. Gox CEO Returns To Twitter, Enrages Burned Investors · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure any sane lawyer in the world would absolutely forbid him from talking publicly about Mt. Gox or anything that happened during the meltdown. Is there not legal action pending? Perhaps we should let the discovery process do work as intended. This article seems to accomplish nothing and I don't think it qualifies as news.

  5. Re:They already have caps in some markets! on Comcast Predicts Usage Cap Within 5 Years · · Score: 1

    I'm in Atlanta so I'm subject to the caps and I looked into this. The business plans are quite a bit more expensive and they come with 2 year contracts. If you want to get out of your contract you have to pay 75% of the remaining value of the contract.

  6. Re: The best way to run Internet access. on To Save the Internet We Need To Own the Means of Distribution · · Score: 2

    Sounds good. We can repurpose the existing Post Office infrastructure and employees to run the internet infrastructure.

  7. whitehouse.gov petitions are a waste of time on To Save the Internet We Need To Own the Means of Distribution · · Score: 0

    These petitions have been mostly worthless in the past. See this previous petition about net neutrality:

    The FCC is nominally an independent agency so the best way to make yourself heard is to file a comment on Proceeding 14-28 at:

  8. Common Carrier on To Save the Internet We Need To Own the Means of Distribution · · Score: 1

    They don't need to be publicly owned (think the government snoops now?) but they do need to be designated Common Carriers:

    If you read that and agree, consider filing a public comment on Proceeding 14-28 at:
