Shoot, I better tell my local Library!

And when it is involved in the discussion? As we are now.

Well, you can't prove a negative. You'd have to establish that there is something after death. Or again, you'd have to believe everything. For instance, I could say that when we die our consciousness goes into a robot on mars that is then forced to battle other robots for an evil green ruler...

Pithy quotes make you think, more than faith does. A: Faith without knowledge is literally nothing. Without it you fall into the trap of having to believe everything. How do you base your faith on anything without some knowledge? Do you believe in the Hindu gods? Why not? B: Either God...

A: "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" ~ Carl Sagan B: Either he is or he isn't... “Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he...

Get Congress to cut their funding and they will stop.

So the problem is... men are dumb! :rolleyes:

What facts? The ones you are purposely misrepresenting?

"What the fuck? I swear to God I'm blowing up that building. I swear to God," Honestly, it doesn't sound any different than half the stuff you'll hear walking down the street of a busy city. It sounds more like an exasperation. Like how, "I'm going to kick your butt!" really isn't a threat...

It's not a matter of bandwidth (http://blog.level3.com/open-internet/verizons-accidental-mea-culpa/) but of ISP's not wanting to allow them (i.e. Throttling).

Why was only some of the ISP's affected then?

Do you have a link with the section of the Affordable Healthcare Act about the True Lives system? Cursory google search turns up nothing.

That would have drastic effects on every layer of the economy. Cheap fuel and cheap food is what helps propel prosperity.

The initial ARPANET consisted of four IMPs:[19] University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where Leonard Kleinrock had established a Network Measurement Center, with an SDSSigma 7 being the first computer attached to it; The Augmentation Research Center at Stanford Research...

How about those federal oil subsidies? Farm subsidies? Propping up a failing industry?

J. C. R. Licklider of ARPANET. :rolleyes:

They took our billions for infrastructure and didn't do anything but pocket it. http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/2007/pulpit_20070810_002683.html?ref Also, "the US government which knows nothing on the subject" are the people that built it to begin with.

I believe this is how Canada does it, right?

How petty of them. They only have themselves to blame.

“This is no more a plan to regulate the Internet than the First Amendment is a plan to regulate free speech." ~ Chairman Wheeler.

Because some people in this tech forum obviously don't know what net neutrality is. http://theoatmeal.com/blog/net_neutrality

Yay! Big win for the little guys!

One drew a gun on people and didn't get arrested. One drew a toy gun on people and got shot. What was the difference between them?

Nope. Those two stories doesn't change the facts of the others.

Well no, the federal agents never drew their guns, and if they did, guess which one is legal? But the real point is, it's okay when this guy does it but it's not when a black kids does it with a toy. America!

Those images are pretty well known. The first one is a guy on an overpass pointing his gun at Federal Agents below.

Several of my co-workers are there right now. They happen to have vaginas. Maybe? This is the Consumer Electronics Show. Are women not consumers of electronics? For instance, bio-metrics are pretty big with women right now. One of my co-workers wrote about a yoga mat that helps you with...

I can petition the government and vote for new leadership. I have not such actions with a corporation who's only concerns are to their shareholders. Also, government does have competition, from other governments (disatified people will move and they lose their tax-base) as well as potential...

Ya, it's SO much better when the corporations screw us. :rolleyes:

Why?

The government, obviously. Try to buy a nuclear missile sometime.

This is easy to answer... Businesses. Who's listening in? Government is another word for people. I don't know them or their intentions. With corporations so mingled I don't know who's interests might over lap my own companies. Secure communications is essential to a free market.

Wishing for people's computers to get infected out of spite... and you call THEM fanatics? :rolleyes: Time to take that mote out of thy own eye. :D

http://netneutrality.koumbit.org/en/node/5 The reason we haven't seen more is because it's been challenged so much.

Until you realize the "invested interests" means nickle-and-diming you for everything they can, while squashing any dissent and competition. Ya that sounds like a great deal.... for them.

Then vote for people who support a more open FCC. You can't vote for new heads of Verizon.

Just seems kinda strange, because I know I've seen many [h]ard users claim they don't run anit-virus on their pc machines. "Only idiots get a virus" is a common enough saying around here when the discussion comes up, but this place is also pretty quick to jump on mac users anytime a virus...

No he actually never did claim that, but the media said he did. That's the real joke.

No like his Clean Water State Revolving Fund which was cut by $134 million "The proposed funding level for wastewater would not even meet the investment levels that a recent EPA study finds would be needed to control wastewater pollution more than $10 billion each year for over 20 years."...
