What the hell are you talking about? If your home internet speed increases by 10x, it's not because of fucking magic. Someone had to go out and rip up cabling and upgrade the switches from 10/100 to 10/100/1000.

I know. You forced a joke that wasn't there.

ISP are already under federal regulation, classified as "Information Services" under the Telecom Act of 1996, and before that under common carrier rules established in the Telecom Act of 1934.

I don't think Miller had a good grasp of Batman either. The old guy is basically an out-of-touch dick towards EVERYONE while lacking both any real power as well as the faintest shred of self-awareness. Hell, the only reason he was alive in the end (or really during the fight) was because Clark choose to let him be.

Computer networks don't get spontaneously faster either. Capacity has to be added (like adding lanes) and/or equipment upgraded (like moving from gravel to paved surfaces). Equipment also wears out just like a road surface does.

Pedicures are for toes!

Gotta disagree. The internet is very much a tangible asset, just like roads and bridges are tangible assets. The issue has been that there have been no actual "rules of the road" up until now. It's time for a few, but not too many, rules to keep traffic moving smoothly.

Let's be honest here, you can't understand the significance of Title II because you've never tried to.

Definitely Scarface. The title character is the ultimate 80's MAN, but with a really, really, really bad accent. Not at all must-see material given that you don't have to go far IRL to find self-absorbed assholes who will ruin entire families to get ahead.

I object to this on the ground that it perpetuates the "pay as you go" mindset of governance (which is really just a cover for wealth hoarders). Government is not a household. Unlike you and I, it decides its income as well as its expense.

Yes, credit scores are heavily influenced by how much you deal with credit, but nobody charges highly-scored customers (as a group) more than low-scored borrowers. Well credited becomes well AND cheaply credited. Why? Because the one thing banks hate are defaults. One default can wipe out the profit of 20 perfect…

Ehh...gonna say that's a misread of the characters. Picard had pride in his ship, but was always more interested in the mission, or his principles. If it would make the difference, he'd blow the damn ship up twice over and not think about it once until he got drunk on wine with Bev when it was all over. He was always…

I've said this before: you can't break into somebody's house and leave a present on their kitchen counter and expect them to not get mad, and expect them not to get mad about the fact that you broke their window.

Nexus 4 was so damn pretty. I loved that glass back.

Yep:

Ever developed an Android app? Unless you're

There's power in being limited, being forced to adapt.

The FCC doesn't mandate pricing, regardless of whether or not a broadband provider is a "utility" or "information service" (their current legal classification). Case in point, most landline services, which are utilities under Title II, still offer unlimited plans. Sometimes those plans are dirt cheap because they're…

It's based on calculations in the player's union contract.

The problem with your plan is that you don't "invest" in Bitcoin. No one does, because you're not investing if you can't calculate the present value of future returns. People speculate (gamble) on Bitcoins. You don't play the long game on speculations. Invest your $2,000 in an index fund. Leave the internet money to…
