Are you reading what you're typing?

your whole story is complete bullshit.

I must not attend the same theaters as you... try venturing beyond the methlab and trailer park.

Oh shut up.

Seriously, did you even think before vomiting out that comment? You're a twat.

why not post logged in, you pussy.

Oh, well said you fuckwit.

There are literally people? Two things, first go back to school and second, get some new friends.

Bottom line, you're a twat.

You're comparing apples and oranges there -- that 27% is the number of subscriptions of home broadband connections, not the number of people who live where broadband is available. The number of households where broadband is available is significantly higher (a little googling says 60-80%, depending on the source -- it's going to depend a lot on what qualifies as "broadband.")

I guess you and I are the only ones here with that viewpoint.

Two things. First, you're a moron. Second, you have the runs? Why would you announce that?

1-2 data points a year for five years isn't exactly a lot of data when you're talking about CO2 levels.

Wow, what a wise and sage "thinker" you are... we would all do well to listen to your teachings. Now back to the basement with you and your imaginary friends.

The issue is not "intermittent Internet connectivity." Most of the people who are spun up on this are concerned about the principle of always-on DRM in general. Even if people had an iron-clad agreement with their ISP that they would provide them with five-nines uptime on my WAN connection, it doesn't change the basic principle that lots of people are miffed that their Internet connection is being used on a 24-hour basis to demonstrate that they are, in fact, not thieves.

Of course, this doesn't even address the fact that the most reliable Internet connection in the world is completely useless if the server(s) that you're attempting to connect to are down due to incompetence, unanticipated demand, DDoS attacks, etc.
