While this is indeed pretty good (and yeah, I knew what it was before the still image even loaded) I think this is a nice time to ask something:

Scott Cleland (president of Netcompetetion and George H.W. Bush as a Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for telecom trade matters) is that you? Netcompetition.org you say? So I did some digging.

"look at literally every other public utility ever and say 'yeah, I want the internet to be run just like that'."

that is a remarkably naïve and reactionary take on this.

Don't worry, Mr. Mills is clearly more than qualified to cast disparaging remarks about one of the most remarkable and successful private endeavors that mankind has ever undertaken. If he weren't, he wouldn't have the weekend gig here.

Space X's Dragon capsule has successfully splashed down in the Pacific Ocean after a month-long turnaround on the International Space Station, having delivered a 3-D printer to outer space. It's the fourth of 12 resupply missions contracted to SpaceX, and having this one go off without a hitch is a good stepping stone…

This cant be a good thing...

A man and an animal.

That's nice and all, but toss in the fatality rate per infected individual and show the cumulative number of dead people that result from every infection and it may make sense.

been awhile since I studied photoshythesis and chemistry... But what about the other half of the reaction? What happens to the carbon from the air and the hydrogen from the water? Do these thigs grow? Or do they just shed sugars off onto the floor?

Fixed that for you.

this is just a PR move so he can say he wants to preserve more freedom. everything will still run through FISA and the AG, which is a joke, and require the phone companies to store most of the records and make them "easily accessible," which they all don't want to do.

Okay what about the web stalking

Good luck dismissing this as crucial issue on our immediate horizon.

Whenever you have any humans running anything, there will always be the risk of easy influence. It doesn't matter if they're all estadounidenses, all UKians, all Zimbabweans, or an international consortium. Humans will ALWAYS be a risk by nature, there's no way around that.

So...all those birds that see this and STILL hang out on power lines just DGAF. ZERO F***S GIVEN

This is pretty much programming. "My code works. Why does my code work? That shouldn't have worked. There's absolutely no way that could ever work. But it does."

its possible that Obama knew about it.

Why does a real diamond sink if it less dense than a fake one that is neutrally buoyant?
