Tiered internet will fucking ruin everything, as Americans we are fucked compared to Europe even when it comes to bandwidth and speed as it is.

Telecom/Cable companies are greedy assholes.

[Lerch]

in ten years public wifi networks will be so robust and optional. that will kill cable.

the set top box is doomed. video is compressed to mpeg, so you don't need a coax.

once you are on ethernet you get phone internet and video.

hang up on experts.

[NeTaS]

I like underdog but this song sizzucks

[iobane]

Books will never die as long as there are power outages possible.

[iobane]

Oh shit were gonna get a doctoral thesis on web hosting.

[NeTaS]

clueless busters

[milkman]

It is funny listenin to people try to understand/explain the internet.

[Chob]

It's a series of tubes, what more do you need to know?

[iobane]

Btw I break than limit monthly.

[Lerch]

in fairness, that comcast limit is a red flag to a iso that a user is downloading 300000 movies.

[RS]

god damn these guys are just as internet retarded as listening to Bubba or Howard or Techno Beaver talk about it

[iobane]

In fairness, I don't do any of what you just mentioned lerch.

I simply use steam and other digital entertainment provider services.

[milkman]

Most people are RS

[Lerch]

it's android, not iphone.

[RS]

I gotta imagine that a lot of listeners get throttled like a motherfucker every month. I'm grandfathered unlimited AT&T and I get that text sent to me monthly saying that I'm hitting around 4gb.

Fuck telcos, too. Although I guess we're better off than other countries with shitty data plans.
