I don't see how this is different from warning people not to break other laws.
If I say to someone who is under investigation by law enforcement for trafficking narcotics "Hey, you shouldn't do that, you might get in trouble", am I committing a crime?
If my wife is driving and we are, unbeknownst to me, approaching a speed trap and I warn her to slow down, am I committing a crime?
If they pull me over for this, what do they charge me with?
if MyPartyIsInPower()
{
ExpandGovernment();
}
else
{
ComplainAboutProposal();
Vote(random());
}
So... you're thinking the introduction of government into this system will make the system cheaper and higher quality?
The reason Comcast is the only broadband provider is because alllllll the telecomm companies have mutually agreed to divvy up everything so that they can all keep rates as high as possible without competition to drive costs down.

This is why I do not believe google fiber is the answer. They are not going into dense cities who are underserved. They are going into over served areas and trying to take the low hanging fruit.
Well, they're going into areas that are already served and putting the garbage existing providers (Comcast, Time Warner, etc) to shame.
They have to prove that this is workable and profitable before it can go everywhere.
No one votes on issues anymore. Everyone has been conditioned to vote based on identity politics.

What I think would be more tempting would be an all-in-one. I'm sure that Asus could build essentially just a monitor with ChromeOS on it, and a bluetooth keyboard and mouse that works natively. It would be slicker than this, and no wires.
This will definitely make 2014 the Year of ChromeOS on the desktop!
It's a fact that I'm experiencing this emotion.
Ken Ham is well spoken and should provide a reasonable point-counterpoint.
I don't think that the idea that we should not wrestle with pigs is the attitude of a responsible scientist. Eventually, all conventional wisdom needs to be challenged. At one time, you'd have been laughed out of a room of distinguished scientists for rejecting geocentricity. An idea has nothing to fear from examination if it is sound.
The fact that it's intellectual/code/electronic/non-physical/content seems to mean it should be free.
Why has Apache started to lose ground?
Living on Earth may be expensive, but it includes an annual free trip around the Sun.
