Aren't we on the verge of having these things? Surely in the next few years, there won't be a need for transplanting organs from animals. We'll simply be able to clone or 3D print our own.

With this single action, I think the SCOTUS has completely delegitimized itself. To rule in favor of authoritarian states over the rights of the people is unconscionable to me.

That doesn't matter! People pay good money for these PCs and should be entitled to a full speed machine, not a ten percent decrease in performance. If that's Intel's attitude, they won't last much longer in this market.

I can remember being taught the metric system in grade school in the 80s and being utterly flummoxed by it.

Then he can get a taste of what he's going to subject the rest of us to.

Adblock is awesome at blocking those pesky ads and autoplay videos. Indispensable for modern Web use.

In that case, he got what was coming to him.

He should've at least been allowed to defend himself.

My concern is would this Internet access be filtered, like access through libraries and schools is?

Nineteenth century school houses had all the grades from kindergarten on up through the eighth grade (high school was optional) housed under one roof. The primer (kindergarten) kids sat in the front while the older students sat in the back. Somehow, one teacher was able to teach all these different kids from different books under one roof. I realize there are many more people nowadays and that makes small school houses impractical, but maybe there's something to be said for mixing different ages together. Let the older children help the younger ones with their studies, which will teach the older children responsibility and empathy, and the younger children can also learn proper behavior from the older ones.

I love my Unicomp. It reminds me of the IBM Model Ms we used in school.

Does this mean that all newer versions of Windows are going to be free downloads from now on?

I think things like documents, spreadsheets and databases can be done easily enough online with services like Google Docs. However, more intensive things like graphics and video editing will probably still be done offline on the regular computer.

...why did so many people have to rally, protest and sign petitions just to get Tom Wheeler to implement it instead of going with the telcos' desire for paid prioritization?

The telcos speak poison with their forked tongues.

If you can see it on your screen, it can be recorded in one way or another.
