Don't I wish.

A cynic might argue that the key difference in this case was that, for a change, the ISP's, and not merely defendants, were challenging the subpoenas; but of course we all know that justice is 'blind'.

An ingrate might bemoan the Court's failure to address the key underlying fallacy in the "John Doe" cases, that because someone pays the bill for an internet account that automatically makes them a copyright infringer; but who's complaining over that slight omission?

A malcontent like myself might be a little unhappy that it took the courts ten (10) years to finally come to grips with the personal jurisdiction issue, which would have been obvious to 9 out of 10 second year law students from the get go, and I personally have been pointing it out and writing about it since 2005; but at least they finally did get there.

And a philosopher might wonder how much suffering might have been spared had the courts followed the law back in 2004 when the John Doe madness started; but of course I'm a lawyer, not a philosopher. :)

Bottom line, though: this is a good thing, a very good thing. Ten (10) years late in coming, but good nonetheless. - R.B. )

You could use all 4 SATA ports for HDDs, and install using a USB optical drive or stick when needed (which won't be very often..)

Google doesn't build infrastructure. They take advantage of existing municipal fiber.

Asus RT-N66U ? (I specifically bought this model based on it's TomatoUSB support)

Obama only acts fecklessly after endless dithering.

THAT is why you don't elect a "community organizer" (the politically correct term for "street agitator") President. They don't know how to lead.

After all, it helped him steal the 2012 election and the dirt he gets on his political enemies makes it invaluable. If you want to run a dictatorship (and Obama's been governing LIKE one) you need "secret police" spying on your enemies.

Which is why he isn't going to stop it. His announcement was pure window dressing. Like everything else his bumbling Regime does, he wants to APPEAR to be against NSA spying for consumption by the Low Information Masses so that he doesn't get blamed for it, all the while his operatives dig deeper into our privacy.

C-band requires a large dish (10-12 feet in diameter), Ku is much smaller (around 3 feet).

Sorry if I sound too cynical but has anyone gone over this with a fine toothcomb ? Seems strange to be given new freedoms without something being taken away ?

Salary, health benefits, equipment, continuing training...

Just so you know, the AC may also be a woman. And actually probably is. Either that or a man who's never seen any news articles or blogs by "feminists".

Wish I had some points for you. Apple's walled garden model scares me WAY more than MS ever did.

That's one of the many reasons I love the Roku 3: no walled garden. Side-loading channels is easy.
