This baffles me. How did an irishnutcase bump this post back to the top on a day of green beer?

And they didn't even include the customary "Sorry". I wonder if they are even Canadian or an imposter.

Sorry was attempting at a little bit of dry humor. Regulation will honestly not solve much as it takes far to long for them to catch up. Take for instance your example of Volkswagon's modifying their car to perform differently when connected to a dynamo vs being out on the street, (Dirty...

Was trying to see if it was just an external skin color or if the color was also used internal. Might have been interesting to see it have a more Emerald City look.

One can hope. But I have a feeling we have not seen the last of loot boxes from EA.

Ok, what is your understanding of the internet and its inter workings?

You do realize the point wasn't about making profit but about controlling the content. To that end with a gajillion dollars it would be a far easier task to buy up the backbone then to buy up all of the last mile isp, especially when the backbone providers have no qualms about selling service...

You can control the last mile or you can control the source. Either way is legitimate, I just figured it would be far easier to control the center then to try and buy up all the last mile ISP's.

There is a significant more to it then having a monopoly or not. And while in principle having a monopoly seems like the pinnacle of success the truth is you then fall under heavy government sanctions and regulations that takes significant control away from the board of directors and chiefs if...

To control Americas interweb you would want to buy the backbone which is controlled mostly by the following providers. AT&T, Verizon, Sprint & CenturyLink. You can also look at purchasing some of the Tier 1 providers and control huge swaths of the internet (CenturyLink, Telia carrier, NTT...

Net Neutrality in principle shifts power away from the FTC to the FCC and allows the government to establish monopolies that are then regulated by the government be it local, state or federal. And while there isn't much competition currently the little that there is has had some positive...

While the rate is consistent across the power district there are different rates depending on your tier. And government sanctioned monopolies are terrible for reliability, performance and cost. And while @Deroth is correct in theory that Net Neutrality would allow states and local governments...

I've also had nothing but issues with wireless headphones cutting out at inopportune times. The last pair I took a sludge hammer to when they cut out while I was tracking footsteps for a kill.

Thats what I was thinking.

Just remember more then the theoretical maximum number of bytes per second that could be pushed out through pipeline, factors such as number of hops, latency and stability all greatly effect the multiplayer gaming experience. More bandwidth does not increase performance it just means you can...

I was thinking of going the dual joystick route but I realized most of the ships I own would not benefit from that degree of finesse and so a keyboard and mouse would still be my go to. Add a little bit of control control would be a great addition. I can see that if you wanted to use them as...

And this. All three pages is a classic reason as to why I truly am glad to be a part of this outstanding group. All of ya drunken bastards are most excellent.

shhh or they will come and get you for being the fault.

Wait whats wrong with this? I jest as I know your meaning but honestly code writing is all about getting around a problem.
