After annual increases in all services (TV, Internet and Phone), including one year where there were two increase, and reduction and eventual elimination of bundling discounts, I dumped my TV, Internet and Phone provider and went with a local company providing FTTH.
Do not regret that decision, especially after the CEO of my former provider stated at an AGM there is room for "reasonable" price increases. So all that talk about 'costs' from cable and broadband providers is complete and utter bullshit.
I got way faster internet with no caps and saved over $110 a month. I subscribe to three services and I still come out about $65 ahead each month (and I can watch shows and movie anywhere). I eventually picked up a cheap indoor antenna and I'm able to get about 20 OTA channels (with no compression like my old provider). If I get a better antenna, I can probably get between 25 to 30 channels.
So a big middle finger to the big cable and broadband providers.
Last I looked, flying from Cleveland to Newark is not an international flight. So how could taking money on a domestic flight be considered illegal?
It's quite telling that instead of bringing paperwork so he could declare the money, that CBP chose to seize the money and humiliate the man. Because you know, everyone is a fucking criminal in the USA.
The problem is that, despite all the supposed sharing of information between agencies, intelligence or security agencies hate being told by other intelligence or security agencies to watch or look into someone.
No, EFF says "it appeared" that Google was tracking or could track students based on the EFFs interpretation of their policy and privacy settings. That's much different from "Google was tracking".
A criminal steals your car. Said criminal drives the car to a store and then robs it. Criminal is caught in your car. The car was used in a crime. Based on your logic, you shouldn't get your car back, right?
Yet despite all this information and all these tools, the FBI still has to do much of the legwork in these 'terrorist' stings. They have to provide the 'sources' to buy materials, the sources that tell you how to use the materials and they even have to egg 'terrorists' to become terrorists.
