The rural folks don't spend all day wishing they had faster internet access and think there are issues allot more important than this.
I mean really, lets have the government - whose regulations are the reason we have these monopolizes to begin with - add even more rules to "protect" the internet.
And how do you think this is going to be enforced? By giving the government complete access to what you are doing online to make sure you are not "throttled."
Because people are not going to leave Spectrum/Grande/Comcast/whoever for a sub-adequate network.
They are trying to break into the home markets - they are not the current monopoly.
Due to local government regulations that even Google cannot overcome, we are not going to be getting more local wired internet companies - unless we lose those existing government regulations. What Verizion is doing is the market trying to correct against monopolies that the government enforces
I don't understand why people think that government will enforce net-neutrality in a way that actually benefits users. Any law that goes further than 2 sentences on this is just a new power grab. While ISPs might not want it, the way the government ends up creating these laws will make the regulation so complex, that you can be guaranteed that only the larger ISPs will be able to afford to implement them - further eliminating whatever little competition there is.
Thanks moderator, for proving my point. The mere existence of a male feminist is a troll to you, and you felt it necessary to purge such ideas from your echo chamber.
Well, you did complain about how people are put in boxes and then you placed everyone down-modding you are post back at you in a box.;)
That said, I get the frustration. A lot of my posts get modded down pretty quickly. I don't even know why we can chose overrated on a post that has not been rated.
You caught that too? The cynic in me feels that he sees the south as stupid so he uses what he thinks is southern dialect to demonstrate that the computer made a dumb mistake. Too bad he uses it wrong and just looks dumber than had he not said anything.
Really, as a whole, his statement reads like someone who heard a joke, didn't understand it but tried to use it anyways based on his memory of it.
they now have a known psychopath, narcissist, sexual predator and child abuser as their commander in chief. And the entire world might very well be plunged into nuclear war.
So yeah, but no. No citizen of any democratic country has the "right" to be a fucking moron.
I know all these sexual abuse stories blur into one, but I think you are thinking of the various celebrates, media, and democratic senators/congressmen.
I think they thought they could get darker and edgier once they had an older doctor who.
There is a definite style change between the doctors - which makes sense in story since they all have their own personalities.
I tapped out when the afterlife became a scam created by the Master so that she could have enough bodies for a cyberperson army. Even leaving the insulting all religions that belive in an afterlife aside, what a ridiculously complex plan - especially since we don't see trillions of cyberpeople rising up
That's the price for playing these games. It's not like there is a need for these games and there are plenty of alternative (maybe less flashy) games to play.
I understand the frustration. Trying to find even a solitaire game on the play store that doesn't request access to everything under the sun is a challenge. It's why I check fdroid first. That said, I understand why they developers do it since most people don't want to pay currency for anything and get bombarded enough with ads to not be outraged when they get an app that has ads. It's the norm for allot of people.
Install fdroid and then install apps that only ask for permisions you are willing to grant.
Installing a calculator that requires network and location access is foolhardy on your part unless you are cool with allowing the ads that it will be "giving" you to pay the developer.
Capaldi had a chance to top him but he was given dog turds for scripts.
It was really disappointing. I was very excited when he was named Doctor. I then watched the first season but it was a struggle. Once the second series started I realized I was wasting my time watching something I didn't enjoy just because sole I felt I had to with as much time I had already invested in the show.
I went back and rewatched the Matt Smith episodes with my wife. His scripts had a good mix of fun and angst. Eventually I will re-watch the Tennant ones with her since she hasn't seen them but we are so backlogged on shows - and the fact that the new doctor really just took away all my enthusiasm - I don't know if I'll ever get around to it.
That said, I did enjoy watching the rifftrax showing of The Five Doctors at the theater.
My wife fancies herself as an amateur professional photographer and I have to keep explaining the uselessness of digital zooming. Not only is it useless, it limits your editing afterwards. Unless you just need a quick "take the photo and never edit it" it's a waste of a good shot.
I got her a camera with an optical zoom which has made a good compromise for her desire to want an instantly done, ready to share picture that she can still edit later.
You hatch eggs and get buddy pokemon candy while walking. I have it on during my 2 mile lunch walk. I would not have it on if I had to stare at the screen for the majority of my walk. If I did, I'd probably end my walk with a major headache and possible walking into a few pedestrians or cars.
How do you know? I think quite a few people would like a better life than what they have but still would prefer no life
I felt that way after my wife died. My religion kept me from being actively suicidal (fear of hell and all of that). That said, I did not communicate this on facebook or any social medium. I had no desire for the publicity, felt shame, and did not want others feeling responsible if something did happen to me. I also didn't want to possibly die in an accident and have everyone assume I had killed myself. Not the legacy I wanted for my kids.
Many years have now passed and there are many times where I feel numb to life but I am glad I am alive for my kids sake and even for my own.
Suicide should have a stigma. It is permanent. At the very least, there should be a 5 year pre-registration.
Did you read the article? The whole thing is an editorial on fears that the author thinks that Comcast might possibly implement.
It's stupid chicken little shit like this - we see it on the anti-Trump level too - that causes people to start ignoring stories on these issues. It makes us so damn apathetic that we won't take stuff seriously when / if it does happen.
. BTC is still fragile, and if he started cashing them in, people would likely freak out and prices might start plummeting, possibly sending BTC into a death spiral.
I would think that the idea that around 30 billion dollars could just be lost would freak people out more

You are a very good parrot. Now trying looking at who these companies' CEOs are actually donating to.

That's our term for you! lol
He's not, though. I'm not sure why you assume that everyone working for them is.

I got the memo!

The even have remotes with a keyboard on the backside and a laser for the mouse.
It's awkward for serious browsing but works just fine for casual surfing.
How insightful. Do you have a macro set up to post this every single article?
Does Blu force the update on you?

Yes you have to do a bit of work to stop the developer from monetizing an app they created, you found valuable, but don't want to pay for.
So we can watch videos from "special sites" on our fire tv without having to cast from our phones.

That might be great insight if the article wasn't labeled ad.

He read that CEOs said something but got no further due to having a knee jerk reaction
