It's kinda silly. They're trying to extract blood from a turnip. They should target all internet businesses based in the US except oh wait! That would actually be even more of a pain in the ass, wouldn't it.
"On the phone Wednesday he added "There are some parents out in Columbine Colorado, if they had this kind of software, things would have turned out differently."
He's absolutely right. People would be assuming that this actually does something, and the result would have zero effect on whether their kids were safe. So yeah, the difference would be perspective.
Whee, lets have more accidents at the expense of falsely implying there's an actual safety interest! In other words, "this is for your own safety, pay up!"
Red light cameras increasing the frequency of accidents (as has been cited with empirical data frequently) doesn't mean this is an improvement overall. Less tbones, yes - but a system of improving safety? Not at all. They do increase motorist cost, though!
Real method of improving safety? Make yellow lights longer.
It's really not any more complicated than that. Of course, then the city can't give away money to redflex/new red light camera company who is easily just as corrupt.
Note the very specific wording : "we are bound by net neutrality". Not "We follow/will follow net neutrality". It's even more explicit that they will not follow it unless they have to, dragged kicking and screaming.
Not quite. This is likely someone who reads the something awful forums or penny arcade forums, as those are the most common sources of bag of dicks/bowl of dicks comments.

It's not even remotely ambiguous. It's clear as day. If you didn't take the photo, you don't have copyright on it.
what's not clear is why people want to obfuscate the truth and claim the exact opposite as being true.
