Well look at it this way, with net neutrality your upstream home connection may be slow but the traffic would be as "important" as anything else - with a tiered Internet, upstream home traffic would be put in the Internet infrastructure's leper colony. Unless it's streaming video over Skype or something "important" (run by people who make deals with ISPs).

And now that all our objections have been duly noted, they'll go ahead and end net neutrality anyway.

I guess IDCLIP toggles the wireless capability...

My data center is completely safe against tigers. It's due to the construction materials used but I can't go into any detail.

As bundled crapware.

Preinstalled Windows is only cheaper than separate copies of Windows because MS decides to price it lower - precisely to perpetuate its use as a lock-in mechanism. So your price argument is a circular one.

Tires and cars is partly a decent analogy because there are similar bundling deals used with new cars, but there are a couple of big differences - there isn't a convicted monopolist behemoth tire manufacturer dominating the market with a more expensive and arguably inferior product that's bundled with virtually all cars, and not only do most people not drive their car on the factory-fitted tires for the vehicle's entire life, but they'll be forced to change them early in the car's life.

In fact if I was buying a car, I'd love to have the option to choose some Kumho SPTs or maybe even Dunlop Z2s over the bargain-bin all-seasons or slippery eco-tires that most cars come with.

Unless you're managing a power plant, somewhere that uses long-distance radio links or a place with long non-fiber network cable runs, you can ignore it.

You all need to learn to enjoy the sweet delicious lulz, and show your appreciation by laughing while they curse!

International police? No, this is a job for the CYBER POLICE!

You should point them to the proper authorities and tell them you'll be waiting with your wrists out :-D

It's like this news is from some weird alternate universe where we don't throw all logic and reason under the profit bus.

I think virtually any muppet could run a multi-billion dollar company. I'd say literally more than half of the Average Joes out their could replace a CEO in their field of expertise and the company would do just as well. CEOs aren't special, some of them are hilariously incompetent - they belong in the other half of the Average Joes.

Don't blame the fallout of Germany's reduction in nuclear energy on an increase in renewable energy.

And guess what the status quo is doing?

This is an economic problem, not an environmental policy problem. The only difference is that you'll be enriching a different set of fatcats and you'll get a cleaner environment out of it, instead of subsidizing the usual set of fatcats with the planet itself.

Yep but Poland, Mexico and Russia apparently don't have a formal "lobbying" system to make these bribes legal. That's the difference you see.

Yep, they should call this The Ecclestone Maneuver.
