I don't have to be a great human being to be better than you, snowflake.

Also a fair point. I cannot believe is 2015 and Google still hasn't figured this out.

No really an apology for google though, more of a "here is how google royally screwed up in their relationships with carriers that Apple and Microsoft seem to have gotten right".

The guy must have something to hold over the heads of some media bigshots. I can't see any other reason why the two top Democratic party media properties would pass on giving the Republicans a black eye like this.

C++ wasn't designed, it was accreted.

And IIRC Amigas were used on at least one of the Terminator movies. I think the second one where the reconstituting terminator appeared.

C++ is to C as Lung Cancer is to Lung.

Someone please explain to me why this would be flamebait? I am just pointing out facts that people here on Slashdot get modded up for all the time.

I had the same first reaction but after thinking, there is some merit to this idea. China has a fairly stable set of policies. North America and Europe often change policies based on election cycles and what the latest 'lobbyist' put in his political puppet's pocket. No judgement on what the best system is, but the point does have some merit. Both of course have even more back room deals.

This idea has been used in several scifi and fantasy stories/books for how to transport people. In a few they expand a bit on the possible moral conundrums this can cause. This is just an applied science version of the same thing. Would you blast a post about a scifi story that this kind of discussion? Scifi is near and dear to most slashdot readers.

Since most of their operations are in China (even if de facto), they are essentially a Chinese company. They have to agree.

No, they just wanted more money. Once the lobbyists line the pockets of those two, they will tell everyone they have come into possession of 'new facts' and change their stance to allow more off shoring and Indian and Chinese workers in.

Could something like this could completely hose all the ISP's if open sourced and if it works well? Here's the concept: People like the dd wrt folks could customize router firmware to act as repeaters and whoever wants can set up relay stations with home type routers, weatherproofed and sitting on a pole outside if need be, creating a de facto municipal wireless broadband network without needing ISP's. I guess some question are: how to hook it up to the regular Internet's backbone, address space, etc. Could a Gorilla Internet be created with something like this?

Something of value was lost, but it was lost a couple of years ago.
