I think that if we've learned anything form the Ham vs Nye debate, it is that belief and science are two different things. One will be changed with arguments, the other can't.

In other words: religion is not an opinion.

Ah yes, the forceful delegation of government responsibilities, and their cost, to businesses. Now an ISP is forced to basically become the tax man.

Well, if Hungary wants to go back to the communistic age, they're welcome to do so. But please stay the F out of the EU and join the USSRv2 with Ukraine.

Like I said yesterday:

I've said it many times before, and will say it again. The UK is not what it used to be. It used to be the bastion of European freedom, the saviors against Hitler.

At this time, they're exactly the opposite. They're on the front-lines of oppression, limiting freedom of speech and monitoring online and offline behavior all in the name of "save the children".

Mod parent up. Lot's of people don't understand that this is the tradeoff society makes when implementing freedom of speech: it also applies to speech that you don't agree with.

Well, this headline was still better than:

You Won't Believe Which 14 Drinks Researches Have Found To Cause Aging! #3 Is Amazing!

Vote with your money.

I like that idea. Why not write a standard? :)

True that, and I fully agree. BUT: the article suggests something far more evil than the evidence provided suggests, and that's what annoys me.

And like I said, transparent proxying has been done for a long time, and is actually undergoing a phase of renewed youth thanks to CDN/TIC solutions like PeerApp and this Brocade/Bluecoat solution.

Yes, and I totally agree with you. But this article is written by a journalist, not a techie. It's kind of like watching a Hollywood hacking scene.

I call bullshit without more evidence. From the article:

This smells like a transparent proxy for mail, in a similar manner is providers have been doing transparent proxying for a long time. This does not necessarily have anything to do with DPI and selectively modifying server's responses to client requests.

The whole article is written by folks who clearly have no idea about how the internet works.

They're a threat to all scumbag "taxi" drivers, not just TCA. Uberpop will soon come to Haarlem :)

France is also the number one destroyer of their own economy, with everyone going on strike as soon as someone farts and doesn't say "excusez moi".

Seriously, fuck the French with all their strikes. I'm avoiding France like the plague, and never ever will I travel through CDG again if I can avoid it. Half of the time the flight is cancelled, or someone is on strike. Whether that is ATC, pilots, cabin crew or ground personnel.
