I already cancelled my Netflix account.

Two things would satisfy me, neither of which would happen.

1. Figure out who broke in and see if they can limit the fallout.
2. Assume the attacks were vigilante in nature, admit they have made mistakes in customer service and offer the OtherOS back as well as make an effort to foster a better relationship with users going forward. In other words, don't punish users because some people choose to pirate.

This is just fucking sad.

Maybe, Charles Rangel...

I wrote a Firefox extension a while back that allowed you to block results based on text within the results. It would also let you highlight based upon text. I called it "GoogleCleaner". It's not compatible with the current version of FF. But, you can fix it.

I was modded down for agreeing with you. Ha. I should have known better than to post something conservative (or agree with something conservative) on Slashdot.

Oh well, I still agree with you. And, I stand by that.

Thanks for clarifying this for gp. You are absolutely correct.

Why? Because they have different views from you?

I don't want to speak for parent, but I think he meant it as a joke (think mafia tactics).

This is too funny. Good job.

We all know that it's the longest running joke and will not happen. Even if it did, it would probably even suck. Knowing all that, I can't help but hope it's true.

Let's call it "healthy skepticism" based on the knowledge that we can count on Franken to always do one thing right, be on the wrong side of an issue.

I'm sure he's salivating at the chance of getting more control of the Internet and silencing the opposition.

I was all for net neutrality before Al Franken's comment. At that point, I realized there must be a problem with it. Instead of the ISP's and corporations dictating what you can do, it will be Al Franken. I'll take the free markets, thank you.

I had a bad experience with a plumber one time. Should I say the entire profession is bad?

I am a chiropractor. I no longer practice though. Why? Because I never subscribed to the chiropractic philosophy. I don't agree with the philosophical principles that chiropractic is founded on. But, that doesn't mean that it doesn't benefit millions of people beyond what any other health care profession can provide. Chiropractic provides more than symptomatic relief. It restores normal mobility to the joints. And, this is what I believe provides relief. I guess an Osteopath could provide that service, too.

The problem I've seen is that percentage wise, only a small number of people seek Chiropractic care. So, to make a living, that forces the unscrupulous chiropractor to treat conditions outside of their scope or keep the patient coming in longer than necessary, under false information. I could never do either. So, I went back to school and got a degree in CS. I'm much happier.

But, I want to correct you. Although my personality conflicts with the principles of the profession, Chiropractic does not resemble massage. It is not quackery.

I am fully convinced that Chiropractors prevent thousands of unnecessary surgeries every year. When it comes to neuromusculoskeletal conditions, I don't think other health care providers can make that claim.

I think the key is to find a Chiropractor by referral. If you they are helping you (give it a couple of weeks), then good for you. Otherwise, try something else.
