I'm not the slightest bit religious, but if someone says "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Hannukah" or "Happy Kwanzaa" or whatever to me, I take it as it just being friendly, as opposed to "imposing their religious beliefs" or somesuch crap.
It's just a friendly sentiment, and people getting their tits all in a wringer over it seems to miss the whole point.
Fairpoint Pledges To Violate Net Neutrality 249
wytcld writes "Fairpoint Communications, which has taken over Verizon's landline business in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, has announced that on February 6, 'AOL, Yahoo! and MSN subscribers will continue to have access to content but will no longer be able to access their e-mail through the third-party Web site. Instead, Yahoo! and other third-party e-mail will be accessed directly at the MyFairPoint.net portal.' Since Verizon spun off its lines to Fairpoint in a maneuver that got debt off of Verizon's balance sheets by saddling Fairpoint with it, there was concern by the public service boards of the three states about how Fairpoint would deal with that debt. Fairpoint's profit plan: force all Webmail users through Fairpoint's portal, by blocking all direct access to Webmail portals other than its own. Will Fairpoint's own search engine portal be next? What can stop them?"
