Labels that define a person by their degree have already failed, as have you.

It is difficult for the isolated individual to work himself out of the immaturity which has become almost natural for him - Kant

It's unfortunate your bias is unable to outrace your typing. Careful reading of the text would have revealed the phrase, "pro-abortion". That aptly describes the policy in China where they show up and abort your child if you don't have enough money to bribe the government. Thanks for playing.

I sincerely wish I had a +5 Insightful to assign. Good job, mate.

Well I'm older than you and not a damn thing you mentioned defines right-wing in America, so I guess we have a culture difference. Although, your media comments do reflect the manner in which the current administration vets the press.

Is that centrist like pro-abortion people consider themselves centrist?

No that's communists traditionally that want to spread the money around. Socialists in Europe just want to take everyone's money and use it for their own purposes while telling you it's for your own good. Especially the BBC jackoffs.

Funny how capitalism keeps translating into crony capitalism with ISPs.

Because our POS politicians sold us out to the cable companies, mate.

When all six normal occupants of the house are using the Internet at the same time (imagine that) it spikes far above your 5.43Mpbs usage, mate. Hewaven forbid if anyone comes over to visit, or play games, or simul-cast anything. If I pay for bandwidth I expect its delivery.

How about San Diego, CA where we are still living with cable company backroom deals made with local governments in the 80's so we cannot get decent Internet speeds at the fiber levels like most of the UK now? San Diego hosts some of the most cutting edge industries in America, yet I cannot get fiber to my house. In order to get past the LOW caps for Cox I had to purchase the business option, so now I have to ALSO purchase the residential option IN ADDITION to simply use the television feeds on my iPad. Freaking crazy.

In Latvia, you would download the potato, mister!

I still have my first Apple ][ 10 megabyte hard drive you insensitive clod! It makes a great 20 lb. paperweight!

That sure as hell isn't Cox speeds!

If someone sells me the bandwidth and then bitches that I use it, they are operating a business under false premises. It is not reasonable for an ISP to identify behavior they sell me the resources to perform and then label that behavior criminal. So, yes, it is really that outrageous that it justifies an entire Slashdot hate thread. I could easily use different socket promulgation and circumvent the whole schema you're aluding. High volume of traffic means nothing to legality.

BBC Right-wing? Have you experienced vertigo for 1,000 hours straight? Give me an example of the BBC ever being right-wing? More like socialists who steal as much tax money as possible to pay themselves exorbitant salaries at the expense of the UK citizens.
