Fixed that for you. Though, I do find the idea of firing the TSA agent from a large canon to be intriguing... the loss to the forest isn't worth it.

Programmers.... always telling us what to do.

This may be the most brilliantly cynical thing I have ever read. And, from an AC no less. The end IS truly nigh.

Yes... and as a company, they... and not a bunch of pixels on the internet, get to determine what they do with their property. As long as they do not violate any laws when (hopefully, its the Jack Benny show for god's sake) they destroy them, ain't nothing wrong with what they are doing.

Thank you Eskarel for that post. Seriously.

But I don't wanna... :)

True enough... as an employee of one of those ISP-types you mention, I will absolutely say our Cisco-certifed engineers are worth their weight in gold. Why? 'cause when something breaks, or when some copyright holder comes to us and says some dumbass kid broke copyright by downloading a movie, those guys can tell me who, what, when, where, and how ... right before they make sure it never happens again.

And that, to me, is worth every bloody cent they get paid. Every. Bloody. Cent.

Of course, a 250GB limit is rather useless Comcast cannot even provide the uptime they are contracted for...

6 months until another meaningless, vaporware standard.

Seriously, doesn't anyone quite grasp the concept that wireless = radiated signal?

Not saying anything negative, just asking why we give a shit when it will be *years* until this tech is actually in a wide-spread, usuable format?

I vote Ouija board.

There, fixed that for you. The

I believe was the site of the Transformers movie. You know, the "under the Hoover 'damnnnnnn' " part. /sigh... crawling back into hole.

Though I happen to agree with you regarding arenas of free speech... it is important to note that there is no expectation of anonymity on the internet.

Sure, there are tools to help increase one's anonymity such as TOR, etc... but no internet traffic is truly anonymous, thus no speech of the internet is truly anonymous.

The expectations of free speech should always be guaranteed through legislation at the host provider's physical location. Thus, as an example, if the traffic is sourced in China, but the company providing the boards said speech is located London, UK, the local laws governing whether or not that information may be removed/traced/etc MUST be local to London, UK.

To do less, is to undermine the strength of the local preservation of free speech... for, though the internet is important, crucial, and a vital part of our lives, it is no where nearly as important as the the right to utilize the voicebox in your throat.

BOOM!! Headshot!

/sigh... It's not like it was our fault the sling wouldn't release forward... ooops, stupid NDA.
