That all sounds great when the outside temperature is "temperate". But it gets very cold outside, and all those "saved" watthours will get sucked up by their subscribers' homes. Then what, shut down the datacenter until things get warm again?

I've been sending DHCPDISCOVER packets for 25 years and have yet to get an offer...

By all means... let's trade away some more of our privacy to get rid of that HUGE inconvenience of tickets and stickers at parking garages.

Even Rod Serling couldn't write a more poignent ending.

The arrogance of the "We own the Glass!" and "It's OUR living room!" attitude is totally off the chain for me.
I will do everything I can to purge my environs of LG devices. Eff 'em.

because his sentence was communted by the lying thieving bastard in the White House. Them LTBs gotta hang together, ya know?

with the little monkey playing his cymbals. Do do do do do... D'oh!

by Kurt Vonnegut. "True Democracy is only achieved when everyone is dragged down to the lowest common denominator!" Idiots.

Like anybody needed another reason to hate Comcast. Sheeh.

has a very good rep for sticking around for the long haul. This could easily go on long after 2028.
