Clearly. There aren't any average people who would care about someone else's child.

Government is the only organization I've seen that can carry out sophisticated spying on every person on the planet while simultaneously not being able to apply simple regulations to industries because "we won't let you apply those regulations without also apply a whole bunch of other ones too!" They somehow manage to…

IMO, the FCC is one of the ballsier parts of the government. From what I've seen in telecom they regularly overstep their bounds, or push them as far as they can, to do what is right for the consumer (e.g. trying to enforce net neutrality). Cable and broadband, now that's probably a different story.

I feel your pain. I realize I'm an idiot for it, but I still hope.

Unless I am mistaken, telecom is already a Title I service and this only applies to broadband Internet. If I had to hazard a guess, the reason broadband isn't a Title (Whatever) is because it would require them to provide high-speed Internet to anywhere with "reasonable request" at a "just and reasonable" rate, which…

Your reply to the other guy actually perfectly illustrated my point. They're saying incumbents should be worried because 38% of people don't want their incumbent to get re-elected. Yet, in 2006/8 incumbents won 94/85% of the time despite 25/29% of people saying they didn't want them to stay. Will the incumbent win…

For some reason I'm still hopeful about the government (sometimes). Maybe because I like to hope people will do what's in the best interest of everyone, or maybe it's just because I'm an idiot. They're pretty much the same thing anyway.

Overthrowing the government over net-neutrality is quite stupid; however, you can make an argument that the government has no right to view private exchanges between citizens like they do now (they said the algorithm that determines if you're a citizen is something like 54% accurate). It just depends how strongly you…

Unfortunately, the things that make handguns useful for self-defense also make them the most used gun to commit crimes. But I agree, Diaz didn't make a lot of sense there.

Because it's not made for people that will actually use it; it's made for wealthy people.

Even more simple than that: people are lazy. Daily life in America is great for most people. If this stuff doesn't affect their drive to work, going on vacation with their families, or drinking beer and watching football on Sunday, most people won't care.

As we explain in this opinion, the Commission has established that section 706 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 vests it with affirmative authority to enact measures encouraging the deployment of broadband infrastructure. The Commission, we further hold, has reasonably interpreted section 706 to empower it to…

"The weird stutter in the middle is lunch."

I dare someone to call that joke tasteless!

Here's about the extent I pay attention to things at CES:

Beats by Dre: Even 11-year-olds realize they're crap

At first I saw "in High school 10 years ago," then I read "K-Swiss sneakers." Then I thought, wow I kinda remember those too. Then I realized I was in high school 10 years ago. Then I realized I'm old. At least I was a freshman!

Yeah, but is he any good at Super Monkey Ball Billiards?

I don't know, last time it cost me an extra $50.

I started to, and realized I don't feel like explaining my position on guns and violent crime after it has been misrepresented for a second time, so I'm just going to skip to the end portion.
