    Video: Net Neutrality is gone, where do we go from here?

    Heh. it's Ok usually it's me - and you're right that's basically what it boils down to is special interests. Whatever happens, it's going to be an interesting couple of years for sure if you work in the network infrastructure industry. I'm hoping this will be the kick in the hind end that...

    Video: Net Neutrality is gone, where do we go from here?

    This is not a question of controlling the information, or it should not be seen as that. The backbone or Tier 1 carriers are really the only ones who do. Net Neutrality was never really aimed at Tier 1. They can't really afford to throttle the traffic they carry because they would then be...

    Video: Net Neutrality is gone, where do we go from here?

    Just one thing. You do have something to worry about, just less than Americans. In Canada, the CRTC has enacted rules that protect consumers against unilateral actions by monopoly carriers on it's own, and against the wishes of companies like Bell Canada, Telus, Rogers and Shaw. They...

    Video: Net Neutrality is gone, where do we go from here?

    It removes your freedom on the internet. Now, your ISP can throttle or block any provider content they feel like throttling or blocking.

    State of the Squadron 26

    My opinions: Cryptocurrency is a partial work around to the problems of most other get-rich-quick schemes. Of course, that's just like real money but the Government runs that gig, or corporations which pay the Government to keep running the real money thing like a get-rich-quick scheme...

    Crytek sues CIG for breach of contract

    This suit reads an awful lot like SCO vs Linux. It was a last ditch effort by a failing company to find a way to inject cash - and if it fails, what the Hell we're going bankrupt anyway. reason I say that: Check out the wording above the download banner on https://www.cryengine.com. That...

    The truth is now known

    All I can say is LOL. But with two recent threads about autonomous robots in Test forums now, you can see people are thinking about this on some level. There is a group, https://www.stopkillerrobots.org Someone's wife might be interested. Not saying who's.

    The truth is now known

    We had a Roomba once. It cleaned. My wife called it Marge Roomba, or just Marge. Feel free to share this story with your wife @Duhb. One day, my wife was walking toward the couch and crossed paths with Marge. She tripped trying to get around it. Well, see my wife is from Texas, so she...

    Industry What about building?

    There have been discussions, but nothing really heavyweight yet. We might have something like 30 or 40 Pioneers in total, maybe more. Maybe a lot more, who knows. We pretty much lost count around 25 or so during the first day of the initial sale. And there are quite a few TESTies that don't...
