The makers of proprietary software force you to agree to a massive, complicated license before you can use their products because they want to control and restrict what you can do. Let's not pretend that GPL software is any different.

Last time I checked I didn't have to agree to ANY license agreement to use GPL software.

I got an iphone, its jail broken, and I love it. I also run OSX, but I built it from scratch, and didn't pay apple a dime. At some point you stop caring about what other people think about your choices in phones / operating systems and just use what you want.

Not sure if you were going for a funny mod, but you sound like a complete tool to me. Somebody please mod this guy down.

Actually you are incorrect. While the most common "jailbreak" doesn't mess with the baseband software, there are plenty of people who do. Think sim/carrier unlocks and the 911 piggyback hack to make calls without a sim at all.

I think he is referring to the growing trend of police /themselves/ believing you cant film them or take pictures of them. I don't know how many times I have seen video of cops confiscating cameras and or arresting civilians for taking pictures of them.

If by "broken several stories" you mean "posted links to stories that were broken elsewhere" than you may have a very good point.

The FCC is part of the legislative branch, since its existence and powers were established by act of Congress.

Wrong; the FCC is in the executive branch.

The FCC has no 'jackboots'. They have guys in suits with EM meters.

This is also incorrect. The FCC has guys in "swat" uniforms with automatic weaponry.

I therefore decided, today, to cancel my account (Smidge207) take them off of my RSS Reader, and cancel my Time Warner broadband "service". I am off the grid; I am off the 'net as of today.

Can I have all your stuff?
