Comment What is their obligation to you? (Score 1) 376

You got a free, uncontracted bonus from their cable service in the form of analog channels. Now you won't, but describe this as giving you the finger. Why should they continue to provide you content at no cost over their infrastructure when it is not mandated by statute that they do so, particularly when you retain an alternative, albeit one you consider unsightly?

I can only assume you have some sort of crazy high bandwidth cap - otherwise how will you rationalise the extra expense of a more expense net plan to take the hit Netflix will impose?

I realise this may not be a popular opinion but I really don't see what it is you think the cable company owes you.

There are companies out there with IP allocations from the dawn of time they are not (or should not) be using since most clients don't need fully routed addresses. Time to set a market price on IPv4 addresses. At the right price we might throw one of our two class Cs in the pot - not much, but there's a lot more out there.

People who work every day they can and remote into the office on the others are sometimes the people who refuse to let other people see what they are working on. Google "John Rusnak" as an example. My brother works for an offshore subsidiary of a US bank and he and his colleagues often have to take mandatory time off so that other people can be familiar with their files.

If this was the .XXX TLD you could understand a degree of ambivalence with respect to how it might look to own it, but to let newtgingrich.com or .net or .org out there? This isn't twitter, it's not like verification or a quasi-requirement to have "parody" can be enforced.

This is a presidential campaign - Newt is paying a lot of people a lot of money to think about how he is presented. Some one of those people should be feeling embarrassed right now - and not just about working for a Republican.
