  on FCC Does Something Right: Proposes Making Suicide Prevention Hotline A Three Digit Number

  Cordcutting example...

  on USAToday Latest News Outlet To Completely Miss The Point Of Cord Cutting
  As an early adopter of Google Fiber here in Kansas City, I was paying $133 per month for high-speed internet plus their television service, with no premium channels.
  
  I dropped service with them a couple months ago. I've had service long enough with them that they moved me to their free lower-speed internet service. I bought a $15 dollar antenna for my television and get all the networks. I've subscribed to Hulu and I'm pretty happy for very little investment, regardless of what the cable companies think. :)

  I just finished installing a bunch of Juniper hardware, running JunOS... even though everything I've seen points to ScreenOS equipment, now I have to spend time and effort looking again at our JunOS equipment. Sigh.

  I'm not overly familiar with TOR, were they providing an exit node, or something else?

  Hi...
  
  The gentleman's name is actually "Peter Hirtle". I got to meet him a couple years ago at Cornell... very bright guy and well versed in copyright issues (member of the Section 108 Study Group, among other things).
