im living in turkey ffs, our minimum ping to abroad is 400 ms the least, one national monopolistic backbone provider, international lines congested due to overselling, yet i can still get slashdot in around 4 seconds tops.
it is good when people are used to using free services from countless sites on the web, content on the web sites being free (as opposed to purchasing them or subscribing to them like in the printed press case), but when it comes to waiting for a few seconds more for an ad, they do not hesitate from blocking the entire mechanism that made the internet what it is today - ads.
please do so, morons. also preach others to do that too - so that majority of users can start doing the same.
so that way websites will be forced to go on pay to see/subscription models. what a fantastic way to go. from open, free internet to newspaper stand format.
Abuse of legal system for personal profiteering shouldnt be allowed. I wish this class action lawsuit to go as big as paypal one and this time teach MAFIAA bastards and their hound dog of a lawyers some lesson.
Not only firefox users constitute a small percentage of the internet and online spending power, they constitute almost entirety of the IT/Web professionals in the world.
I wouldnt piss of such a small percentage if i was anyone. it would be folly for anyone to jump in that bandwagon.
it seems unfortunately some idiot that have no capability of establishing correlations among real world concepts have got ahold of some mod points or s/he is a fundamentalist nasa fanboi/girl. I bet s/he is the same person who modded this comment offtopic too : http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=272623&cid=202 60853
such people should be prevented from mod points. they are harming the community
im rather practically oriented on this matter. i want these greedtards lashed back at, and the best option that comes to my mind is to force them to something socialist, which they hate the most.
The Capitalist solution would be these greedy cable companies actually having had INVESTED the excessive amounts of profits they had been making overselling the lines.
CAPITALISM - its self evident - you have capital, INVEST it, create more capital and continue INVESTING from it to continue successful business.
why should i or anyone else care a fucking bit for capitalism, whereas the cable companies have themselves disobeyed capitalistic rules in the first place ?
what i vote is, govt. should bring on a socialist solution to these 19th century capitalist bastards that have gone haywire. why ?
because world has opposites and balances, and to punish some party best way is to lash at them back with their anti-philosophy. that should teach them not to fuck around overselling and not investing from then on.
- should have read this article's title. It looks more from a movie thats a crossover between Lex Luthor finally does the superman and Back to the College Dorm 2.7
Just make them invest back some percentage of the immense profits they have made by overselling the bandwidth on the lines that were constructed by public funding, something which they should ALREADY had done in the first place.
the world doesnt revolve in the way programmers, or any other profession/artist/intellectuals wish or think it should. the market, people dictate what goes forth and what stays based upon their choices. and history shows no group can force their thoughts on people for a long time.
"php iz lame","xxxyyyyzzzz language has much better syntax and oop support and blah blah" - oh well, these MIGHT be true, but the harsh, real truth is that the people will go with whatever they prefer, and final decision lies with them.
no im not a programmer alone. im also a businessman of some sorts to the extent that i am able to reckon what the market says, rules, regardless of anything anyone thinks.
Page ends up to be what the client/supervisor wants. If they want stuff on the page, they have them put there. Even if you work your butt over optimizing them, you still find pages that are considerable in size.
Get a load of that - they are complaining about sexual material involving CONSENTING adults. So, 2 or more people have chosen to do something with their own FREE WILL, and done it, and they are allowing others to watch it by their FREE WILL.
Therefore the what this group is for is an assault against free will.
that should have been long extinct of course. Relics of a different past, lived their youth in the early 60s, these people at the helm of those companies are not able to perceive or adapt to present.

huh ? there has piled up enough cases to clearly indicate that they are exploiting justice for personal profit.
Just make them invest back some percentage of the immense profits they have made by overselling the bandwidth on the lines that were constructed by public funding, something which they should ALREADY had done in the first place.

After all the pain they made us go through since windows 95, i cant stop poking fun at them. Thats the only way to withstand.
If i had stopped poking fun, the alternative would be to strangle whatever microsoft representatives i could find. Id rather poke fun.
