They should sue the car manufacturer for making a car that could go 107MPH.
The DOT for making a road that is decent enough for a car to travel 107MPH.
The cell company for allowing connections to their cell towers while the user is traveling 107MPH.
The phone maker for not detecting that the car was traveling 107MPH.
The police for not pulling him over before he crashed into their car while traveling at 107MPH.


Snapchat is only the tip of the iceberg here.

As I recall, near the end of the movie, the antagonist senator is making fun of Mark Wahlberg's character because the senator got away with illegal activity and he says:

"The truth is what I say it is!"

Don't forget the MRS degree.

I didn't realize there was such a thing.

If you are so worried about a predator talking to your grandchildren through the Playstation network, why are they using it unsupervised?

Take care of your own problems, don't make the government do it for you.

I don't see any nuclear-powered servers on Dells website.

You are right, when everyone is using the pipe at the same time, there will be degradation. So why not charge for internet access like electricity? Make it cheaper during non-peak hours and convert to fully usage-based billing. No flat fee for access, or at most a very small one.

To answer my own question here with part of your comment: it would be really confusing to customers.

That is a poor comparison in my opinion.

Preparing and delivering the food actually costs a relatively high amount of money (price paid compared to cost to prepare and deliver). For an ISP, once they have all of their infrastructure in place, it costs them pennies per customer per GB to deliver that data and the data itself doesn't cost anything since they are just the conduit.

A better comparison is that the ISP is a company that manages the piping for you to get water. You pay a arbitrarily high price dependent on the size of that pipe. Now, this company doesn't create or manage the water (as much as they might want to), they just manage the infrastructure for getting it to you.They then decide to also start charging you for the amount of water that flows through that pipe.

Does that make sense to you?

Don't forget that this company receives millions in federal funding and they also wanted to charge the water making companies for being able to use the pipes.

You are giving into the propaganda put out by ISPs!
There is a big difference between consuming a large amount of an 'unlimited' or 'free' finite resource and consuming a large amount of data on your internet connection. It costs ISPs pennies per GB to get you that data and guess what? Comcast will never run out of 1s and 0s to send you, unless the whole internet collapses or some such catastrophic event.
Comcast themselves have even admitted that there is no business reason to charge for circumventing the data cap beyond making more money for them. Which, now that I think about it, could likely be considered a business reason.

Ever read the 100s of other EULA's you've (apparently) blindly accepted?

I'm not talking just the auto pilot function, but the ability to autonomously react to a variety of conditions much in the same way that the self driving cars do. Though I realize that driving and flying are completely different and getting the FAA to actually approve something like that may take decades, but something like this should at least raise autonomous plans as a viable option for the future.

Without knowing your interests or area of expertise, there are some big ones like:

Spiceworld
Various Microsoft conferences: Exchange, SharePoint, TechEd
Some Cisco stuff

And Probably a whole host of others. Choose a vendor/specialty and search for their conferences.
