Tmobile wasting no time before the FTC finishes gathering data.
it's not solely trying to trample on content, they also don't want people to be able to counterclaim that they haven't actually made new or copyrightable music in the last 100 years and pointing to how they recycled songs would be the death of the riaa.
oh come now, they're not that bad. Just because they have the same Thiel/Federalist society plan of global slavery for all minorities/nonwhites (and eventually all non-christian male whites) doesn't mean that Amazon is a bad company!
Dude pulled me over to give a written warning, and I was out of state. Wrapped on the fucking window with a gun when he pulled us over and scared the shit out of my family. Googled it and turns out there's a bunch of posts about this shit happening.
yeah, this is somewhat my thoughts as well. People are petty and greedy, so willful misunderstanding of free speech/first amendment is what I expect at the top.
In theory...wouldn't the worst offenders getting away with everything raise the baseline for any marginally bad cop who's less stupid about getting caught, to actually get caught for anything, thus perpetuating the cycle?
IE: bad cop with 10 settlements = everyone hates him
terrible cop with a history of atrocities but not as stupid with 0 settlements = looks great on the record now.
Sounds like this is how it already operates, they're presumed innocent until they suddenly rack up a million settlements.
This is super obvious why they would do that. Because if you compare that to every other country in the world we're basically dead last. Our cost per mb is hilarious vs other countries.
The fact that the focus is not on a symmetrical connection tells you that they are firmly in the mindset of comcast as a normal connection metric. Vs actual fiber being normally something like 100/100, which ISP's would cry about.
It's super simple and dead obvious why news agencies are scared to report on the inefficiencies:
they're afraid of the impact of pissing off the ISP's as the ISP's have continued to grow (and in many cases, control many media sources). So they do nothing because of course they won't.
it's like the qualified immunity logic.
Was there a letter somewhere that said they shouldn't have done that? whoops.
meanwhile, patent trolls probably double their efforts after this
uhhh
so cracking a safe isn't a search? that's probably the closest thing I could think of
well that didn't take long

it's pretty obvious why they do this

clearly this will end well
hmm, and how long before it murders someone in one of a thousand ways and we get an oops?
wtf
so they raised prices only to put the original price back in, at ad supported? Wow, that's pretty blatant greed right there.
oh come now, they're not that bad. Just because they have the same Thiel/Federalist society plan of global slavery for all minorities/nonwhites (and eventually all non-christian male whites) doesn't mean that Amazon is a bad company!
state trooper in Nebraska is the same, hope they find him

nobody can play that game
only pirates play that game. It's encrusted with so much drm that you can't even play it, even though it's a free game.
ah, yes. party of small government
Clearly Republicants are all about small government. Isn't this actual/valid as trade secrets, as well?

I see an additional effect, in theory

makes perfect sense
This is super obvious why they would do that. Because if you compare that to every other country in the world we're basically dead last. Our cost per mb is hilarious vs other countries.
this also tells you how comcast-centric they are
The fact that the focus is not on a symmetrical connection tells you that they are firmly in the mindset of comcast as a normal connection metric. Vs actual fiber being normally something like 100/100, which ISP's would cry about.
fspsb?
‘Frontier Secure Personal Security Bundle’ ($5.99 after ‘discount’), So: Full of Shit Predatory Super Bullshit fee is $5.99? wow.
deafamation
please, they're apparently deaf. To facts, and to logic.
"they feel they need to hang all sorts of gifts on it"
I think you missed the r in grifts
The why here isn't a question

Re: Wil Congress ever learn?
exactly, it's a clear distraction from addressing the problem at hand.
Are they afraid?
To me, this reads like a distinct possibility that the consortium is fearful of facebook/losing traffic to facebook.
