Or just switch to Open Office or other derivatives. Like all of those that hated ribbons did nearly a decade ago

Doesn't stop frivolous lawsuits from costing them lawyer fees, though

Wrong

I'd say Jurassic Park has held up quite well. And, actually, the most dated effects in the film are computer generated, not practical animatronics.

Actually, things have changed. As part of this announcement they also announced that they will be digging through your browser history in order to provide more targeted ads, rather than just mining what you do through their website and websites that track for them

This is not a computerized assisted driving mechanism, dickwad. It's an entertainment system

I should clarify, Sync is still the base platform, Touch is the touch interface on top of Sync. I have Touch in my Edge. I like it. I'm not fond of the touch system in my Subaru. I like the system that Jeep has in their new Cherokees(no idea if they're in other Jeeps, but it wasn't in the Wrangler I rented).

Please elaborate

Wait, since when has Ford Sync damaged their reputation? I've been very satisfied with my Ford Edge, and I've had a few Ford rental vehicles with Sync that I've had zero issues with. I find it hard to drive a car without that type of system in it anymore.

The reason VPN works is that Comcast was deliberately degrading Netflix's data stream and VPN conceals the nature of the traffic.

If this was the case other services operating on Cogent wouldn't be degraded, but they are. For example, League of Legends was a casualty of this problem and it forced them to make changes in their hosting arrangements.

Don't confuse any of this with "Net Neutrality" - there is no evidence of subscriber connection degradation by The Man, no matter how many hipster technocrats publish urgent tweets to the contrary..

Indeed. Any service on Cogent feeding into Comcast has been affected, including video games like League of Legends, who made their own agreements with providers in order to route around Cogent.

The source determines the destination route. The first router you hit tells you where the next one is, so you need a source to plot a course.

A-C connection is saturated is an issue for A or C, Not the client or the server.

A never went to bill the server, A went to C, because C was generating all the traffic, and C said fuck you, so server went to A and said here's the cash that C won't give you. C made it a server problem, in this case. Peerage is based on an even trade.. the problem is the trade isn't even

Comcast is peering with Cogent, and that is the connection that is saturated. This is why people can VPN around the problem, as there are many routes into Cogent's and Comcast's networks and anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of internet routing understands that routes change depending on source.

Err, thier customers get to use Netflix already by having the internet. The problem was that Netflix didn't give a shit about some customers because they paid the lowest bidder to be their bandwidth host. When my company was worried about delivering video game services where latency is paramount, we asked ourselves which datacenters have connections to which backbones so that we can choose the appropriate one, because we cared about delivering our product to our customers with the lowest latency possible. Comcast may be assholes, but they're not necessarily in the wrong position here.
