Can't we split the difference and attribute it to malicious stupidity?
Well if we are piling on, why not pernicious malicious stupidity? After all, this went on through multiple administrations... Isn't it nice to see that both parties can agree on some things?
Our eyeballs are their income. Once page views start going down I look for more sensational headlines and less actual news for nerds. The LOL and me2 crowd already have places to hang so I think when the actual daily users of/. stay away ad impressions will not attract enough cash and the site will either be sold off or go down the drain it is already circling...
This is what annoys me even more than the bad design - they actually solicited our feedback, and we took the time to give it, then they completely ignored it.
Hopefully they will listen to the crickets after classic is no longer an option...
Really wasn't talking about last mile as much as the backbones. Here's a couple quick copy and paste clips:
ARPA made a decision in the late 70s to fund investment in R&D to develop the Internet protocols. In the mid 80s, the NSF made the initial decision to fund the deployment and operation of the NSFNET. In the mid 90s, the NSF decided that the NSFNET should be privatized.
"NSFNET" was also the name given to several nationwide backbone networks that were constructed to support NSF's networking initiatives from 1985-1995. Initially created to link researchers to the nation's NSF-funded supercomputing centers, through further public funding and private industry partnerships it developed into a major part of the Internet backbone.
It wasn't until selling access became business that the telco's got interested in upgrading the wire.
In 1997, the WTO adopted the Information Technology Agreement (ITA) which eliminated duties on $600 billion worth of technology products including computers, telecommunications equipment and other technology goods... a.k.a. a tax break or subsidy. Not collecting money is the same as handing it out... So yes, we did pay and I'd bet there are federal tax breaks that insure we are still paying somehow.
Well what do you expect?

No, they just found another way to monetize it... I look for a browser add-on to appear soon to black list/white list the new TDL's like ABP does for ad domains...
Slashdot Mirror
BUT, was his research for an IMPROBABILITY DRIVE? Apparently the only real danger is from falling whales and flower pots.
I find the idea of an infinite improbability drive to be very unlikely...
Runny, runny horse shit... along with horse vomit and a bunch of whinnying for the horse equivalent of chicken soup...
Cancel subscription, uninstall steam and move on.
Oh come on, this anti cheating detection simply demands that we cheat it!
I would use it to heat three year old edible pizza!
It would still be warmer than the average delivery pizza.
I bet I could heat it up with The World's Most Powerful Laser!

We can only be thankful that this method is not available to the Vampires...
Humanity interferes with my faith in humanity...
Slashcode is open source, ya? Can't we just "fork" the site?

Seriously - WHY?!
In Soviet SlashDot, Beta tests YOU!

Unless the beta improves, I have other ways to get old news...
That motorcycles are now in space?
It does look like it would get you there...

With all this talk of "shit-tons" and "back doors" shouldn't we be measuring in "butt loads"?

It gets more complicated when your "private property" is a bridge that leads to somewhere really important.
and was built with tax payer money (i.e. "subsidies")...
He's so stoned you see HIM double!
Actually just a bad copy and paste on my part...

Right. This reads like a comparison of the Finest Ice Hockey player in all of Ecuador VS The Best Ballerina on Bora Bora...

He can't there you either...
I tip my hat to the Dutch judges or politicians who reserve judgement
Judges that reserve judgement? That's just ridiculous, not to mention selfish!
If I were a judge I'd hand out judgement freely to anyone who asked for it. Hell, even some who didn't! I'd be dedicated to my job!
Maybe the whole "Judge not lest you be judged" bit that Jesus dropped on everyone has them a bit on edge...
