    That's the exact description of the cloudflare.
    Except they connect to your web server when it updates, and when the site itself have an dynamic vulnerability that can be exploited, or the attacker gets the hold of your real IP number, stuff goes down.

    If Hillary didn't had completely insane control freaks dictating her to hunt internet memes because they offend em.

  9. Re:Just keep it running. on Appeals Court Decision Kills North Carolina Town's Gigabit Internet (hothardware.com) · · Score: 2

    Well, it's not about losing a fiber internet connection, it's about letting companies buy the death of the competition.
    A future where you're forbidden to compete on anything is basically something like communism but even worse, as they don't even need to pretend that they care about you.

    If everything becomes anarchy, yes.
    But it is a good tool to have on your belt when everything else fails, kinda like having a picklock for when you lose your keys.

    Banning any sort of speech is very dangerous because all you accomplish is to sweep the thing under the rug, where less people have the opportunity to point out the flaws.
    If you want to kill islam, you should be fighting for the right of criticizing it, rather than trying to "just to the same thing, but for the "right side" (tm)".

    How about just fixing where they live?
    It's a lot cheaper and don't have the whole awful cultural clash.

    Gaming channels will get hit by a truck by that, given the fact now any company can pay half dozen people to just go and flag any negative review and take it off the air.

    Go at some place gg is reunited, try "attacking" let's say Roberta Williams or Jane Jensen and getting out of there in one piece.
    They do lie about the whole "ethics in gaming journalism" being their final goal, as what they actually want are good games, instead of barely interactive movies or "games" written in HTML.

    Well, a good excuse to basically say to every consumer that "they should buy a brand new car because their old car is literally evil and killing the planet" is an excuse i don't think they will let it pass.
    They're just waiting it gets tempting enough so people "fall" for it.

  24. The government is an service elected by the population to perform tasks that neither the population nor corporations can't do well or in a fair way, and is indeed a necessary piece of the system.

    But if the population disagrees with the actions of the goverment, they should have the right to change it, radically and even rewrite the system if needed as easy as for example you should be able to fire your gardener for spying on you and selling your data to google.
