The transition to automated surgery would take a very long time. Over that time surgeons would retire or otherwise leave the industry while fewer and fewer new ones would enter the industry. Very few, if any, would end up "put out of work".
The same has happened to every other job for which automation was introduced. The sky is not falling.
Re: Re: Portland "has a local connection" to Portland too.
If the city doesn't have a trademark why would anyone need to grant anyone else "rights" to use or allow use of the image? If the city can't trademark the image neither can Old Town Brewing. This case should effectively put the image into the public domain, no?
Brave words for someone who refuses to identify himself even just well enough to know your posts are yours. At least we know how this will play out if the pattern holds: Next you'll get flagged into hidden status and then complain about how the world is out to silence you.
Can you think of a reason that nobody wants to read what you write? I can think of a few.
"You would get on much better in any discussion if you made your point in a reasonable way, rather than the absolutist and aggressive way that you usually use."
I heard...
whaaaa.... let me bitch at you for how you say it while you better not bitch at me for how I say it.
Sorry, I think people that gravitate to these arguments are doing themselves and everyone else a disservice because it only fans the flames of partisan politics.
Nobody gravitates to these arguments so much as they completely undermine the rest of your message. Take this to heart: If your audience cannot understand or hear your message it is you who must change, not your audience.

Did you consider that yours is the "bad speech" we hope to drown out with "more speech"?

Chill, freakshow. Nobody is out to get you, at least not around here. If you're seeing that page it's because you post entirely too much content that gets moderated. I've *never* seen that page.
Why don't you go back to one of your alt-right echo chambers where everyone wants to hear whatever it is that falls out of your face?
They do support what they're selling. They sold you "Up to 25mb/s", not "25 mb/s". If that's what you signed on for then you really can't complain.
My ISP guarantees 80%+ of the contracted tier rate so... there's that. But that's far from a universal service agreement and most people, particularly Comcast customer, are just boned from start to finish.
Twisting reality doesn't make your thoughts valid or correct.
Who said anything about "cacheing all websites locally"? Nobody said an ISP is obligated to provide bandwidth at any content provider's maximum rate either. The whole point of NN is to prevent ISPs from treating content from provider A as being any different than that from provider B. If we allow ISPs to do that then we get extortion and other bad behavior. Because we used to allow it, and got exactly that bad behavior, is precisely why we have/had NN.
Are you really this dense or just trolling? If the latter then bravo, sir. Very well done.

Re: H.R. 4682 will stop states from doing this
States will do it anyway and tie up ISP negotiations in court for years if the ISPs do not play along with states' laws. It will become more a States' Rights issue than a net neutrality one and the ISPs will pay the price in delays and "lost" profits.

If you could manage to stop with the personal attacks some of your posts might even come off as reasonable. Not saying this is one of them but you never know. Give it a shot some time, preferably without replacing the attacks with self-pity.
