That would be the freedom of assembly portion. You don't lose your 1st amendment rights because of who you associate with.

If Netflix wants to provide a premium experience for their customers, then let them pay for the equipment and pass the cost on to their customers. If Comcast now has to treat everyone equally, then everyone gets the lowest common denominator.

They do let you hit them and even exceed them form time to time. It's never been an issue for me. But that all goes aways, once they moved to tiered.

In other words, #2 means they'll do away with unlimited and move to tiered access. #3 means that Netflix will flood and congest the rest of the network, meaning longer buffering times for all. And of course, #1 was never a realistic worry.

It started with Civilization 5 last summer. It got me to install Steam. I ended up buying about eight games since. I'd probably buy a lot more games, if more of them supported Linux. We have money too, ya know.

Ubuntu is geared more toward people who don't care much about managing the boot details. So I think it might make sense for them. I chose my distro based on how much control it gave me. And luckily, they still seem committed to OpenRC. When it comes to booting, keep it simple!

And replace the greyish void fog with the true blue void of death.

We're not other countries. Our government is the most corrupt institution on the planet.

Why would you think a government, that couldn't roll out a website, after spending over $2 billion, could effectively manage something far more complex?

Will he just start over again, with a new kernel?

Save the major version bumps for large refactorings.

Yeah, it looks like they didn't exactly allow the netflix's servers in their data centers, but they are establishing a direct connection to those data centers as part of a paid deal.

Since they can't do that with everybody, I'm assuming they'll have to stop doing this for Netflix and we go back to lower quality/slower buffering times.

Interesting, given that he used to lobby for Verizon and Verizon just pulled the plug on FiOS expansion. Not sure what to make of that.

If paid prioritization isn't permitted, does this mean Netflix has to pull their servers and routers from Comcasts' data centers? And how does that benefit me again?

Wall Street aside, we never left the last one.

Or the ability to screencast more than two youtube videos from their android app, without crashing? Or the ability to automatically retry after a buffering error? Or how about getting the setting to always play HD videos working?

There is so much they need to work on over there, but since it's google, I don't expect to ever see anything fixed. They're good at rolling out new stuff, but it's always left to rot.

I'm guessing they know something about the new net neutrality rules being drafted and that wireless is either being excluded or will have loopholes. Especially given that the head of the FCC used to be a lobbyist for them.
