AT&T and Netflix get into very public spat over net neutrality

Gotta love monopoles. They have the arrogance that can only come from knowing you have no other options.

They have no incentive to increase service speeds and throughput because they'll get the same rates regardless. There's no competition who will offer better. Then because their service sucks they get to pretend it's the websites who are too blame for the ISP's crappy service.

You know who's able to stream Netflix just fine? The rest of the world. The sane every other country who properly regulates their broad band as common carrier, just like we did until the Bush administration.

Nothing is going to change until we go back to that.

Why one storage admin fears Justin Bieber

Re: School I work at took another approach.

You're seriously suggesting that school admins should delete legal images and "fluff" because you don't like it? That's censorship and unwarranted destruction of personal property. What did lolcats ever do to you?

Haha, girls use the internet too?

How is the growth of e-mail due to Beiber any different than that from a sporting event young men might be enthused about?

Why is the idea of women and girls using the internet still so funny?
