If I don't specifically ask for "slashdot.com" in my web browser, I don't get it. I guess my ISP must be blocking it. But fortunately, once I "ask" for it, I get it, usually within seconds.
Unfortunately, slashdot.org sometimes stays blocked for a few more seconds. Must be that "slashdot effect" I keep hearing about.
Block the whole internet by default. Customers have to submit a list of checkmarks letting the ISP know what they would like to have unblocked.
I think my ISP does that already.

To opt in to the Internet I actually have to sit down at a computer and turn it on, or pull out a cell phone and look at it, or
If it doesn't, then it doesn't block torrents/P2P.
Is it okay in the Home Office??? Just asking.
Censoring porn is easy.
Not censoring non-porn is easy.
Doing both at the same time is virtually impossible.
Well, it is still a system of "ON" and "OFF" at the physical layer, I would call that binary, wouldn't you?
Here they typically call you on the phone.
Note to Americans who get calls from Visa claiming fraud: Tell them "Who are you and how can I call you back [write down information], OK, thanks, I'll call my bank right now" then hang up.
Oh, and call your bank, since it might be legit.
What do you mean by RTS/CTS in NTS?
I'm guessing he means the handshake protocols where the sender asks the receiver if he's ready to receive, and doesn't send until he gets confirmation.
NTS also has some rudimentary error-detection/correction built in:
The sender will tell the receiver how many words are in the message. If the receiver does't get the exact number of words or if he has any other reason to think the message wasn't properly received, he will notify the sender and they will try again. If the word count matches and the receiver doesn't believe there are any errors, he will tell the sender that the message was received.
If the sender does NOT receive that final confirmation, he will assume the message was not sent and will try sending it again either right then or later.
And a very few telegraphs are podial or foot operated
Foot-pedal-keys are used in the amateur radio world.
Mod parent +5 +/- noise insightful
where noise is significantly less than 0.5
with that logic the blind have been reading digital books for ages
So have regular people, albeit with a "base" big enough to hold alphanumeric characters plus symbols (about 60- or 70-something for most English text).
The blind have been reading binary (raised dot/no raised dot) books for ages.
Aussie telegraph machines used a 5 character Baudot coding
Someone once told me that in Australia all of their 0's and 1's were upside-down.
I checked and you know what, they were right!
Does the fact that it is binary confer digital status automatically?
In this case, yes.
I assume you are talking about Morse code, which consists of "current off" and "current on" states grouped into dits ("dot"), dahs ("dashes," 3 times the length of a dit), inter-dit/dah spacing (period of no current, same length as a dit), inter-"letter" spacing (3 times the length of a dit), and inter-word spacing (7 times the length of a dit).
Telegram posts you???
