I live in Vermont, and I can tell you the $50 million in taxes VT Yankee pays the state every year means it isn't going away any time soon. Sorry environment, we're broke.

What Comcast did isn't throttling. They engaged in willful packet tampering, by replacing seed packets with reset packets, and that IS already illegal.

It would be be illegal if the device cause "undesired" or "unintended" interference. Since interference is the point it's perfectly legal. And there really isn't anything that carriers could do about it short of amending their terms of service to prohibit it's use; they don't own the spectrum, they are licensed to operate inside it. I agree with the post below, the 1 watt or less rule applies here and you would not need a license to operate in the GSM spectrum.

That's what the question mark is for.

Microsoft is the company telling you why the latest and greatest thing isn't so great? Weird. You'd think they'd be hyping 3D display support in Windows 8.

Agreed. I think the BSG miniseries was similarly commercial laden. BUT you know the SyFy execs knew that they were going to get a majority of the Stargate fan base all in one place at one time and had to capitalize on it. I'm sure they will loose many of them after this. I am NOT one of them and I will be interested to see where the story goes. Besides I needed something to watch on Friday nights besides Real Time.

B5 is without a doubt the most underrated Sci-Fi show. And come on what about Zathros? And I really could have done without Sinclair, but the story couldn't have.

In China attempting to find "justice" in it's corrupt and intentionally repressive system. That would give hope to their slaves, I mean people hope, and they can't have that.

I am disgusted that an organization I have trusted to represent me in matters of royalty so blatantly misrepresent my interests. I may have to seriously rethink my membership. Should you happen upon some of works feel free to use it as a ring tone, I don't mind, I already got paid. The Reverand

If your going to vote "NO" the point of staying would be....... What exactly?

Most licenses aren't compatable with the GPL. The FSF believes it's only "free" if you use their license. I think MS-PL is a very fair license. AND I have to admit I will enjoy tinkering with ASP.NET MVC.

Nope. Definitely not.

Truecrypt is my go-to encryption solution.

Unfortunately Stallman just devolved to his "Us vs Them" mentality that fails to serve him and his movement. He should have been trying to start a debate on plug-in standards or how web application authors and hosts can build community and extensibility through open standards and free software ideals. But that didn't happen. I would also argue that proprietary software doesn't destroy innovation, and free software doesn't create it. It's about the products in question and the industries they serve. OH and It isn't GNU/Linux, it's just Linux.
