You visit Slashdot (obviously) and you mention Facebook and Google. There are three sites right there that *are* reliant on ad revenue, so you might want to rethink the above statement. And two of those three rely on IP for geolocation. It's not the most precise way to do it, but it works.

I think you woefully underestimate the kind of data the ad network would need from the carrier to make that work. And somehow I doubt the carrier is gonna do that for free. So yeah, this is still going to kill the content providers.

CGN is just epic fail. And that's just one reason.

You actually think that everyone who operates an ad network is going to put proxy servers inside the carrier's network, before the CGN? You think that the carriers are going to let them? I guess you picked the wrong day to stop smoking crack, huh?

Your IP address is a large part of being able to serve you relevant content, and more importantly relevant ads. If all of Comcast were, for example, to appear from one /24 then all of a sudden the ability of the content providers to target ads based on location would be done. And don't underestimate what the value in that is.

If you go ahead and say "Well, good, I don't like ads anyway" then realize this - content isn't free. It costs money for big ass datacenters to serve your page view. So take away the ability of the content providers to make money and they'll go away quickly. And then you won't have any content to view in the first place.

I'm gonna bet it will only stream videos that can play in iTunes. That would rule my subtitled anime mkv files right out.

If you ask me it IMPROVES ride quality. Some of us don't like driving a car that feels like an overstuffed sofa on wheels.

So when they had had to shut down the city VPN for days because of the morons that put all the passwords in court documents...that was a "denial of service" as well. Why haven't those people been arrested?

Can I make up a funny story about the owner of that website getting cancer and slowly dying in agony? I think that would be very funny.

When people say "not a team player" in this context what it really means is that they won't overwork themselves in order to increase the value for equity holders. In other words, they aren't willing to give you what you haven't paid for.

Unless you have a huge equity stake then don't bother being a "team player". Because your "coach" will cut you from the team without a second thought. One way loyalty isn't loyalty.

You must not have met that many CCIEs, then. The ones who don't bother to mention it are the ones with clue.

This guy keeps making sure everyone knows he's a CCIE. I gotta wonder...is his ego any smaller than Childs? Unlikely. Extremely.

If his management is the cause, I wonder if he can sue them for negligence?

Yet somehow this man is in office. So perhaps modify the statement "When the people who vote for this wingnut are ready to act like adults..."

I have to say - if one man can hold a whole industry in your country hostage then perhaps something needs to be done to fix that?

Don't confuse afterburn with recovery. If you're damaging yourself (which is what going so hard that you vomit is) then you do spend calories recovering. That being said, my doctor told me I should never work out so hard that I puke.

Well, you can think it's true. I won't stop you. You can also believe in Santa Clause. :) I just point out that the data from the metabolic chamber disputes it.
