He played SimCity down in moms basement. Same thing, right?

Big word from someone that is getting screwed by his ISP, and can't understand why.

 

[OnePercenter]

You don't know what the backbone is, what an ISP is, what a packet is, or what a switch is.

Smoke another bong hit and go back to Modern Warfare, you're not worth my time.

Because you can't refute anything I write.

Big word from someone that is getting screwed by his ISP, and can't understand why.

You still think this has something to do with ISP's....

Moron.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Nothing you write is pertinent to the subject at hand.

 

[OnePercenter]

Does it matter?

The FCC went into a censorship frenzy - the same FCC you morons just cheered for taking over the Internet.

It was on broadcast TV. Do you want your kid to see it? I don't, but then again I'm a responsible Parent and Grand Parent.

The Internet was the commercialization of the work done at DOD, and by most accounts, Gore’s efforts had some impact. He was the prime sponsor of the 1991 High-Performance Computing and Communications Act, generally known as the Gore bill, which allocated $600 million for high-performance computing. Gore, who waged a two-year battle to get the bill passed, popularized the term “the Information Superhighway.”

The Gore legislation helped fund the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, where the Mosaic Web browser was first developed by a team of programmers that included Netscape founder Marc Andreessen. While it is sometimes difficult to pinpoint the impact of federal funding, Andreessen said Gore’s bill made a difference during a 2000 interview with the Industry Standard: “If it had been left to private industry, it wouldn’t have happened, at least, not until years later.”

which means the government still doesn't deserve any credit.

I don't know about Canada, nor do I care, but ALL telecommunications in the US is subsidized, it's part of infrastructure.

Do you want your kid to see internet porn?

The arguments for censorship are rampant.

Uh no - add this to the massive list of things you are completely misinformed about.

The amount of fiber laid for telephone service in the 80's nationwide, wouldn't carry the bandwidth of Disneyland alone.

This basement dweller hasn't got a hint of a clue what he is talking about.

What about the 90's, 2000's, 2010's. Then you have microwave and satellite which provided redundancy.

 

[bripat9643]

Yeah, right, and you have a company that earns $100 million/yr, and I'm the queen of England.

So you're picture is on/was on the $20.00?

When are you going to name the subsidies ISPs receive?

Moron.

ISP's screwing their customers? Yes.

 

[OnePercenter]

Nothing you write is pertinent to the subject at hand.

So are you a paid Koch whore or ignorant?

 

[OnePercenter]

Do you want your kid to see internet porn?

The arguments for censorship are rampant.

How is this related to ISP's screwing their customers?

 

[OnePercenter]

Uh no - add this to the massive list of things you are completely misinformed about.

If you have some information that ALL telecommunications in the US isn't subsidized, please post it.

False.

The Internet began with DARPA, but the commercialization didn't make it the Internet anymore than McDonald's made the I-10 a freeway.

A stupid claim that undermines any credibility the piece might otherwise have.

Regardless, Gore bragged that he created the Internet - he didn't. He lied.

What does this have to do with your believing you're the Queen of England? Try to stick to one point of discussion.

The FCC takeover of the Internet has nothing to do with ISP's - you are an ignorant fool.
