you may have had a problem with that specific connection or there may have been something going on even in the neighborhood. but fiber better than wireless?? c'mon...
This is what's so pitiful about the MPAA. When they lose, they don't realize they were wrong, they just keep arguing the same damn thing in court over and over again, and act shocked that anyone might argue otherwise, even though they've lost this argument in court over and over again.
sounds like those high up in the ivory tower are not actually aware that they have been getting ruled against. i wonder if they are being fed a load when the underlings are reporting how things are going in the trenches...
...its happened before.
*technically* you're right.
the second amendment is actually about making sure that we have the means to make them fear their constituents. the actual fear of constituency is just a side effect.
in your name do we pirate, pillage and set down our electronic devices during such times as when enclosed in soaring metal tubes while giving thanks to your noodly apendages.
RA-men.
lets say that i bend greatly on the point of whether its stealing/freeloading/whatever (which i dont), even in your painfully twisted rendition of whats going on you are still assuming that they cannot be both.
it also assumes the fact that the entertainment industries are the actual customer and those of us out here in the real world are not paying for any services rendered to any ISPs. in your version, we get that service for free. and i assure you that i do not get my internet connection for free.
however, the use of false dichotomy in combination with multiple pejoratives are in line with the typical gobbledygook that failing trolls so love to stick with so i gave you 2 points and a certificate for one cookie (dont get **too** excited, its shortbread and stale) to make you feel better
we all knew that all japanese were not to be trusted during wwII so we locked them all up.
we all knew that the black man was not an individual with rights and was at best a talking animal so we made them property and "civilized" them.
we all knew the plains indians were nothing but thieves and murderers so we penned them into reservations for their own good
the germans all knew that the non-aryan people in and around them in europe were the causes to all of their problems.... that turned out spectacularly didnt it.
the point im making is this: everyone needs to stop with the "we all know" rhetoric. its decisive, inflammatory and serves no other purpose than to appeal to the baser instinct of people when you have no real proof.
never cease to wonder how people that cant remember the difference between here and hear, their and they're, your and you're continue to think that anyone is going to pay attention to anything they say....
