Why do you think that Apple has a 100 billion cashflow and is the highest ranked business on the stock exchange?
There are many defense companies of which you would say, why are they rated lower than a consumer grade shiny mirror company?
Could it be that the consumer grade shiny mirror company is worth more to the 1% and the authorities than all the other defense companies?

Why would you think that is? You connect the dots.
If you found the answer then you would also have found the answer to why Apple is banning people to see where dronestrikes take place.

Keep the once trapped client in the environment where it belongs, why?

Calling my cynicism pathetic is not going to change the moderation of your post, as it is still 5+ Funny.
Neither does it help to solve how dictatorship structures are deeply embedded into our societies.

You need to lighten up as being cramped over this will do all but help solving the situation, besides, often there is way more result to point out painfull things in a humorous package.

For synical people like myself this is funny, painfully funny. (I do not mod)

They are my isp too, and I had the same thing happening.

Their helpdesk is the only non scripted helpdesk with a dutch isp, they take the time it takes to solve the problem, instead of playing hide and seek while blaming their customers like most other companies do.

My ISP, xs4all blocks my connection automatically when trojans or other malware starts to make outbound connections.
I know this as I am responsible for several people on this connection, one of them connected a laptop which triggered this.

When this happens all my ports are closed at the ISP and I get a notice to connect to their proxyserver so that I can download protective means.
When I solve the issue I get a checkup and after that all goes well, the ports are reconnected.

When they say: "We're comitted to..... blah blah...."

And then people say that we in the west are decadent...

Didn't the UK have 58 million people?

So 2 million is 0.03 percent of the population.

So most people don't care. like the grandparent says.

It is already known that human brains make up what they miss in presented info.

With people you only have to withhold info to get them to make bad decisions

Yeah, let us all hide in our ghettos again, very good for the world.

While very noble, all this native translation stuff and UTF-8, what I see is that more and more people stop trying to reach out and stay in their own culture/circle.
The internet 10 years ago was much more international oriented than it is nowadays.

Wrong, the US has a winner takes all system, the people do not vote directly if they are allowed to vote at all.
There will be no coalition, ever...

Don't be mad at the oportunist, be mad at those that gave this oportunist leeway.

Patents and Copyrights have always been political power instruments and are used to censor, stiffle progress and to provide landgrab in the broadest sense to accomplices.
Stiffle progress is a special one, politicians are people with contol freak mindsets, they hate any sense of not being in control.
Science in perticular is constantly providing legal fronteer situations which enable others than the political class and their accomplices to be oportune.
