Practically speaking, yes. My point was that you might want to stop and reexamine *why* you keep getting modded down instead of trying to drown them out.

Probably because the guys at the top making all the money will decide which categories "we" "want" and there is zero chance of us actually coming out ahead. It's most expensive for them to transmit video? Bzzt. No more video. Now what's the next-most expensive thing? VOIP? Bzzt. No more VOIP.

It's like SecureBoot. There's nothing wrong with the concept *in theory;* the entire problem is who is in charge of the system.

Okay, now imagine that you pay for overnight shipping on all packages you send, and only once every blue moon do you actually get the speed you paid for. We *already* have this with their "up to" bullshit. They just want to tighten the valve even tighter and charge us even more.

Or how about why all kinds of phone companies offer "unlimited data" but it's a fucking lie EVERY SINGLE TIME?

Find and replace "net neutrality" with "stop fucking around and provide exactly what you agreed to--no more, no less."

"Well, you're in the future now, so you'll finally be treated with dignity. Now strip down and get on The Probulator, Fry."

Guess I'm glad that I signed up for facebook and Gmail before they required a phone number, then. They can continue biting my shiny metal ass as long as they want. Fuck no I'm not going to give them a RL phone number to track and market.

I think you're supposed to argue that it wasn't abuse, not that the abuse was okay.

Because the correct response to being modded down is to keep posting the same thing and go for volume. Jerkass.

What they don't tell you was that it was a Golden Apple.

Ummm...are you saying that's a good thing? I strongly suspect that if I passed that comment by the few systems guys I know, they would start twitching.

Doesn't specify a time frame. And 25 years is still sooner than never if the Microsoft dev team don't catch it themselves.

I'm just tired of hearing people on Slashdot constantly misuse the term, Mr. Constantly Call Everyone on Slashdot Stupid with His Dunning-Kruger Effect Signature.

Ironyyyyyyy

Anyone who can't spell hypocrisy forfeits the right to invoke it in my book.

You should try something more exciting like "Velociraptor" or "Analrapists."
