  on Mediacom Puts Its Own Ads On Other Websites, Including Google & Apple
  You said it.
  
  I also, in Maryland, have Mediacom as my only viable option. Verizon's highest DSL tier would cut my speed from 12 to 7 mbps and jump my price by about $20.
  
  I've dealt with Mediacom's constant disconnects, packet loss, insane pings, and general instability since I've lived here. Nothing ever changes. The DOCSIS 3.0 upgrades just increased speed, not stability.
  
  Can't say I've seen these ads during my own browsing. I guess ABP just wins overall.
  
  I used to have a VPN to encrypt my traffic, I am considering buying one again,

  Internet Explorer

  on FTC Wants Do-Not-Track Browser System... But Does The Government Need To Be Involved?
  I'll play Devil's Advocate here.
  
  If it's not built into Internet Explorer, it doesn't exist. Since most users use IE anyway, and have no idea to install Firefox, let alone Addons, they don't care that NoScript and ABP exist. It's not serving the "majority" of the population.

  on TSA 'Demonstration' Of Gropings Backfires In Congress
  The only way to make this situation worse would be to demonstrate on actual politicians.

  on While TSA Looks At You Naked, Child Finds Loaded Gun Magazine Left On Southwest Plane
  I saw that too.
  I find it interesting that you can hijack a plane with nail clippers (what, 2 inches long) but not with an unloaded M1 (2-3 feet long, blunt force will do the trick).

  on How ACTA Will Increase Copyright Infringement
  Yeah, plenty of old laws in many states that they never bothered to repeal and are never enforced anymore.
  
  Right now, copyright law is almost like a curfew. It's only enforced when the entertainment industry sees it as a "problem". They don't care if you download something made by the little guy, but cut into their profits and/or resell it and you've got a bloodhound behind you. A poorly trained one, at that.

  on Paul Chambers Planning To Blow His Twitter Joke Trial Sky High...
  Horray for common sense. I can't believe they actually convicted the poor guy.

  on Thai Government Official Admits That Internet Blacklists Don't Work
  Yeah, but then we still have to try it ourselves, cause you know the US can do everything better and more efficiently than all the other countries. Then once it's messed up we'll just back away slowly, turn and run while the IT department has to fix the mistake.

  Uh, Fail

  on Should Illegally Recorded Video Be Admissible In Xbox Modding Case?
  Wow, whoever the PA is in that case is just stupid.
  As #1 said, what happened to the 4th amendment?
