@KatsumeBlisk: But does the choice not to auto-complete really meet the bar for 'censorship'? Search results still work the same right?

Carl Sagan's "Contact" has a pretty good scenario of how people and nations might initially react. And it's a good read. (don't bother with the movie.)

@acidrain69: you didn't address my question. sounds like you didn't understand it but that's cool, you and I have had this argument before, so i know where you're going with it.

@Mxx: sweet, thanks for the info.

Also, avoid logical fallacies: www.logicalfallacies.info/ (logic/debate 101)

@Mxx: good point. you seem quite sure that doscis2 is now well deployed. my google foo is failing me (in the mere 3 minutes i allotted to it, parental duties beckon.) i can't find any studies regarding deployment of docsis1 vs docsis2 in the US. know of any such docs?

@acidrain69: what would you be downloading, of what size and at what speed and from what kind of server (as in that would allow you to use enough of their bandwidth) that would really make you experience the bottleneck at your ISP rather than between your machine and their first hop?

Of course, if you're on cable your neighbors are 'stealing' your bandwidth by design. You're on a shared circuit with them.

Another very important consideration: Research how often or whether the hardware maker pushes out Android updates. E.g. Don't buy a phone from a hardware maker like Samsung that makes providers pay for the Android updates that google gives them for free because you'll never get an update, regardless of what the kid…

Charging people for something Google gives them for free. PR FAIL.

@jbarr: interesting. maybe my doc gave me success rate for his patients, which my say something about his surgical skills. :-)

@jbarr: Glad that surgery worked for you. With only a 20% success rate I haven't felt it worth the risk. Fortunately prescription level previcid (double the OTC dose) combined with legal medical marijuana after dinner/before bed has got things fairly under control for me.

gum? maybe for people who just have heartburn but for those of us who have severe esophagitis because the sphincter at the bottom of our esophagus never fully closes gum has no positive effect of anykind. In fact someflavoring in some gums can definitely make things worse (cinnamon for example.) I'll stick with my…

I can't help but wonder how many respondents answered out of confusing text ads for search results.

I want it on my Cr-48! Though I supposed I can't really complain much since there are only, what, 65,000 of us?

@Baby Benz is a good DD: No need for me to comment. You covered my thoughts exactly. :-)

now if only they'd provide a way to share a list of the books we have loaded so we can send a link to a friend with a note saying "wanna borrow a book? here's a list of my ebooks."

Or get a prescription for an SSRI.
