Comment Their real argument (Score 2, Interesting) 40

Their argument is "because Democrats".

No, their argument is "because Democrat bias".

I don't want my tax money going to politicized institutions, period. I don't want my tax money supporting one side *or* the other, government support should be politically neutral.

The airwaves are a public resource, the government is supposed to manage that resource for the public good.

"One sided" is not the public good. About half the country is conservative, there used to be rules about political bias, it was abolished in 1987, and this has led to the sorry state of affairs we have now.

MSM is unending, incessant propaganda. Rage bait intended to persuade rather than inform.

If it's not going to use the public resource for the public good, then the MSM shouldn't be using that public resource.

(Of note: Fox news is an internet/cable channel, and does not require a broadcast license.)

Comment Comcast TattletaleasaService? (Score 1) 39

Is there any legal principle that prevents Comcast from using this to determine the number and size of pets you have, and then selling that data to, say, apartment management companies, HOAs, and municipal code-compliance departments that have restrictions/fines on number/size of pets?

"Find out how we help our partners in large urban markets increase their citation revenues by 19.7%!"
And then Comcast gets 3% of the deposit/fee/citation as profit-sharing, exactly like the red-light camera companies.

Comment Re:Beneficial use of the EM spectrum (Score 1) 40

The broadcast networks have a First Amendment right to blather as they will subject to the usual rules against incitement to violence and slander.

Haha oh I can see where this is going

However they are using a public good (the spectrum) and as such they have to show a beneficial use. Spewing non-stop lies over the airwaves is not that use. They seem to have forgotten that. There is no right to the spectrum, they can all got back to print where the rules have always been looser (the Hearst newspapers being a traditional example.)

Can you name one of the "non-stop lies" Jimmy Kimmel (or even ABC for that matter) spewed?

It's just as well that I live in a broadcast dead zone as least as far as TV goes. It definitely cuts down on the amount of hysteria I have to filter.

So your tv has the Fox News logo burned in? Hell even Fox had to admit in court their programming is entertainment and you're not supposed to actually believe it. https://law.justia.com/cases/f...

After you read the entire ruling - including the full text of his dissent - which parts of his reasoning do you believe to be insincere, or which prior precedents do you believe he applied inaccurately?

I've read enough of his dissents to know he's a tool of the oligarchy. I don't need to read everything he writes.

Your beliefs are not relevant to this subthread, where the original statement was "this [case] shows... Thomas was deep in the hands of telecoms".
You don't have to read everything he writes to make a comment on this case, but you do have to read he writes about this case in order to make a comment on this case. Or at least, to make a comment that is useful/relevant.

Comment More tightly integrated “unified memory&rdqu (Score 1) 48

There’s also the trend of tightly integrating the RAM with other chips, creating a package with unified memory. Like on Apple Silicon. We’ll probably see more or this on the PC side as we move to ARM based PCs. Maybe on the Intel side too?

More tightly integrated “unified memory”, less slots that allow for upgrades.
