"it goes well beyond what an individual user would reasonably use on their own."
who are you to determine that?

Except it wasn't a limit. It was high, so they called him to ask whats up. He could have had some form of malware running amok.

When they found out he was using it to violate his ToS; then they told him he need to upgrade to business.

It had NOTHING to do with the actual amount of data.

"Netflix exists, you do not need to be streaming content to your friends and family."
becasue netflix has everything ever put out and recorded? no? stfu.

"Unfortunately its guys like this that makes the services and service plans shitty for all of us because I am sure now Verizon will now impose some hard limit on the unlimited plan which will probably be targeted towards the upper 25% of their users."
There is no reason to think that. All they did was tell him to switch to business and stop violating there ToS. which would have been a violation even if he had 1MB. Granted it wouldn't have come to there attention, but you see my point.

"But really, there is no reason for a consumer level customer to be using even 1 terrabyte a month in usage and not doing anything illegal, so doing so just paints a target for MPAA and RIAA and the rest of them."
Thank you for putting a hard number on what 'legal' usage is. Without people like you what would the world be like..beside peaceful and smarter.

He got a call becasue of the huge usage. This is fine, and good customer service.

It terns out he was using his connection for things he agreed he wouldn't do.
They told him to stop mod switch plans.

It has nothing to do with unlimited.

Maybe that's why where's waldo isn't an IQ test?

You should probably look up what intelligence is.
Communication? nope. imagination? debatable. knowledge retention? nope. Problem solving? can be but thre is a lot of other aspects as well. So you need to state problem solving withing the person experience.

How far would you run if the person you depend on to survive through an imaginary stick? and that person could have you killed with no repercussions.

Seems like NOT pleasing that person is dumb, from a survival standpoint.

Of course, animal IQ always seems to reflect what the owners thing not actual objective measurment.

I find that the lower the IQ the less likely they are to have read the article before making some 'point' about the topic.

". I tend to be a bit hyper-aware"

So? Oh, right you believe that means you are smart.

However, it's actually irrelevant to the test. DId you read the article and watch the test?

people understand complexity very well and deal with complexity extremely well...if it's something they are really interested in.

no, it means you are average or lower. You should have read the article. Spouting off without understand is another indicator of you mediocre intelllegence

one word:
Access

Ultimately, your goal is to get paid. If you don't do what the customer wants, you have failed to achieve your goal.

What if the ability to do X harmed others?

They aren't ponzi schemes no matter how many nut bag radio pundants call then that.

"I would have thought a libertarian would be into educating himself,"
I have yet to meet won who has, I've met a lot of people who where libertarian until they did educate themselves on the topics.

Libertarianism is great ideals..when you're 15.

He was talking about her economical view; which actually conflicts with her state objectivism view.

Ann Rand* wasn't a true objectivists when it came to politics and economics. She refused to base her opinion on actual facts of the time. It was rooted deeply into her experience as a teen when the new government took her fathers shop away. She was a person who believe that corporations would take care of the people if left to their own devices; something history show is wrong.

Ron Paul is a libertarian the same way Robber Barons where libertarians. You can't take whats mine, but I'm more important then you so I can take whats yours.

laissez-fair economics do not work in a global market place. hell, they don't even work when the goods in one are are produced by people on the other side of the country. You just end up with bullies and the bullied.

*Yes I did that on purpose. neener neener.
