"Heck I got a call from my ISP telling me that they want to upgrade my fiber(100Mb) to 200Mb for free WTF?! more impressive my bill will go down $10 bucks F. F. F. this can't be right :)"
You make me sick. :P
I live in the US and I can get maximum 'up to' 20Mbps (yes, small 'b') for ~$60 US. From a choice of two (count 'em _TWO_) providers.
Same here. I (tried to) read it, and when I finished laughing, highlighted it all to copy, looked at it again, and said "Fuck that, that's too much work."
A very succinct way of putting it. I'll be watching to see if this phrase catches on. I know I'll be using the hell out of it (with attribution, of course ;) ).
This is exactly how I feel about social networking. I have never had a FB account, and said I never will. However, increasingly it seems employers, possible project collaborators, and others seem to require one. I feel I can trust Google more than FB, so this service may be the one that finally drags me, kicking and screaming, into the social web. Grrr...
I have to second this point. My significant other has numerous serious medical issues. Her doctor has been nothing less than excellent with her care. He has gone above and beyond simple care and attention to health. He has given her his home phone number so she can call him when we have to take a trip to the emergency room (happens usually at least twice a month).
The same doctor was on duty at the ER when I came in with a case of acute pancreatitis. I ended up leaving that hospital and going to another(I even removed my own IV lines and walked out when they told me I couldn't check myself out). I did not get along with him at all as a patient. I know he is an excellent doctor, but his bedside manner really pissed me off.
This man is probably the best doctor I have ever known, and is a pleasant person for me to deal with in a non-doctor/patient relationship. He and I butted heads about my care, and he is not my doctor now. If I gave a review, it might very well sound negative to another even though he is an excellent doctor.
My 14-year-old daughter can about out-hack me now. These rubes have no idea the hornet's nest they've stuck their dicks into. This is gonna be sooo fun to watch!
"In theory, the right to protect the child from harm (in the eyes of the parent)."
Nice theory. I'll look forward to hearing the evidence supporting it. I'm glad you at least admit that this isn't a constitutional right (and I'll remind you that free speech is).
Isn't protecting children from this type of "harm" really the parents' job?

Any review should be taken with a grain of salt.

It doesn't worry me personally if some (any) country wants to outlaw anonymity: I will work around it easily enough.
It is the direction these oppressive laws are taking the world at large that scares the piss out of me.
