My connections the last six years:
100/100 fiber
60/60 fiber
70/10(?) cable
25/5 cable

I used to envy the US unlimited dial-up. Then the cable as we were on crap ADSL. These days, not so much. Here in Norway the median broadband connection is now 20 Mbit/s and the mean 28 Mbit/s and no, we're less densely populated than the US. Over the next year there'll be major gigabit rollouts as well, we're not slowing down but rather accelerating.

Mainly that it was big in Europe and they used pay per minute to bleed you dry. Nothing wrong with the technology as such, then again I've been on dial-up, ISDN, DSL, cable and fiber with roughly the same stability assuming you had a properly buried copper/coax/fiber line. That said these days I'd say 10 Mbit is the least I'd want.

Can you provide some source for this claim? I tried googling for the guys' names, and while a lot of stuff in the context of net neutrality comes up, I didn't see anything specifically about this particular thing.

Laziness, in my case. I've just upgraded with each new version, no crapware has been installed and the ads... I don't spend any time in the uTorrent UI, I don't understand how they make money. I launch torrents and is gone, occasionally I check if something done but it's just open -> scoll list -> yes, launch file or no, oh well. I literally can't remember any product or service they've had an advertisement for. Before that I used Azureus Vuze, but it turned into such a horrible mess. I'm sure there's other alternatives but I haven't seen any reason to bother.

If the two of us ever get into a fight to the death, I'll gladly be the loser walking away.

The reason why they do it is because US citizenship is much more beneficial than their original one.

For someone who is already a citizen of a developed, stable Western European country, it's not anywhere near as one-sided as that.

Did you miss the part where they do not intend to move to US?

For Chinese, the equation is different, because their original citizenship doesn't really confer as many benefits.

But for someone in a Western European country, it's a very valid question to ask.

Nobody has observed high-energy ultraviolet photons naturally? Have you ever looked at the sun?

Incest is any kind of sexual activity with a close relative. What you describe is only a problem if such activity results in offspring. We've had contraception for a long time now, not to mention that not all sex is even potentially procreative in the first place.

That's not what I'm talking about, because it lacks the "distribution" part. What I'm talking about is what level of detachment is necessary to say that these bits of software depend on each other, but they're not derivative of each other. And thus the GPL wouldn't apply, even if you distribute them together.

Haven't you heard that NFC is now the hip, cool thing? That is so last year.

The user's home directory (in Windows, that's %HOMEPATH%) is C:\Users\<username>. Documents is merely one of the subdirectories of that.

Try getting a gay marriage from California recognized in Texas.

I don't know about Canadians and Americans in general, but it's certainly true about border agents. I'm not saying that everybody in CBP is an asshole, but based on mine (several times per year for three years) history of travel back and forth between two countries, the chances of running into an asshole were way higher when travelling south.
