Actually, according to dictionary.com, the definition of fascism is: "a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism."

Maybe I missed the memo where I will be forced to wear these Cyborg looking glasses but, given the news coverage these things are getting, I have the feeling I did.
Citizen #472284, I have reported you for non-compliance with Google regulation #48279573, subsection 5, paragraph 3. You have until July 14th to explain your actions.

I would love it if google responded by saying it infringes no more than eyeballs do.
Right, but when you walk past someone on the street now, you have a reasonable expectation that you're going to be seen by one set of eyeballs per person, not potentially millions.

Actually, that's exactly why I posted it that way. I sort of figured smitten was correct. But saying someone was "smitten with llamas" just sounds...wrong.

I've got to change my default font, I first read that as "SMITE HIM WITH LLAMAS!" which was of course incorrect...
I would pay good money to see someone smited (smitten?) with llamas.

I can't think of another business where the typical vendor prefers that his customer use less of the product he sells. It makes no sense to me.
It makes sense, it's just not a good way of doing business. It would be the same as an all-you-can-eat buffet worried about how much food customers are consuming for their flat rate. If customers consume more, the business loses more money. But yeah, the right way of doing it is like you're doing it: Just make more food so everyone has enough and raise your price a bit if you need to. I wish more ISPs would see it that way.

Ironically, here in Norway May 8. has since WWII been the Liberation Day, where we've celebrated the liberation of Norway from the nazis, and peace in general.
We've never had any tradition for military parades etc. But for some reason they've now all of a sudden decided to put the Veterans Day on May 8. too. So now the Liberation day is full of military personell and vehicles all over the capital. I do agree the Veterans should have their day, but I do not think it fitting to choose the Liberation Day for that purpose.
Weren't the veterans the ones who liberated you from the nazis?

I would focus your presentation on how the VCs would get ROI from your technology, in other words: what's in it for them. For example, what do you see being the primary use for this technology? Who would it benefit and how? How is this an improvement over what is already available? Etc.
