Dear stupid government,

Please leave the Internet alone. Please stop trying to interfere with my life, and get out of my way. I acknowledge your concerns about cyber-security, but shutting down the Internet would be the problem, not the solution. That would be seen as a cyber attack itself. Nobody should have the power to deny access to http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo2.gif.

[tagnostic]

well said,

turkey is currently denying access to google
as of course is china,
freedom of information
is freedom from oppression
guess who fears it?

not a conspiracy type
but when they want that
it does make me wonder

why?

[Will.]

Lets shutdown the shutdown then reboot

[tagnostic]

i want to reboot
the government

[Sporkinator]

I think it needs a complete format and reinstall.

[Will.]

I'd say Ubuntu, the least. BUT IDEALISTICALLY, you guys got it good.

[tagnostic]

ubuntu
just
works
:icon_lol:

[rzm61]

Except for flash. :D

Gotta get that after the install.

[tagnostic]

really?
i didn't notice on the mint
mine's set for only on click
and i thought the 10.04 did
it automatically on install?

[rzm61]

Nah. If I'm not mistaken, Mint is the only one at the moment that has flash already packaged up and ready to go once it's installed.

Mint pretty much works flawlessly right after install.
Ubuntu just works no matter what. You just have to install a thing or two. No big deal.

[tagnostic]

here these assholes come again (http://www.prisonplanet.com/new-bill-gives-obama-kill-switch-to-shut-down-the-internet.html)

[Sporkinator]

HAX!!! :icon_eek:

[Will.]

No one should have to make that decision

[tagnostic]

Iran, China,
they turn the net
on and off
i was under the impression
we were a bit freer than that

[Will.]

I'm in Canuckickstan.
I don't worry about censors, most people here can handle, a joke.

[tagnostic]

yeah,
but do
they get it?

[Will.]

Damn near, 80 % of them do.

[tagnostic]

could just
brew a beer

many of them its a waste

[Will.]

Without strong net neutrality rules, we
might have to rely upon the good Will. of
large telecoms to protect our access to
the diversity of political perspectives. We
might have to trust companies like
Comcast, which actively and secretly
interfered with users' ability to access
popular video, photo and music sharing
applications. We might have to trust
companies like AT&T, which censored
anti-Bush comments made by Pearl
Jam's lead singer during a concert.

[tagnostic]

i signed

[Will.]

I signed 12 times.

[tagnostic]

rofl
hell
they don't listen to us
maybe they'll listen to
canuckistan

[Will.]

Maybe, but they probably wanna know where it is first.

[tagnostic]

I don't think
they have the
concept of North
quite yet..

[gman]

i am not decided on this one yet.

i hate the idea of giving the government more control over anything or "net neutrality" especially the internet one of the last few free places we have left,

i also question the "big business is evil bad" idea that seems to be behind it we need net neutrality because the big businesses are doing what exactly?

lots of debate on this (http://www.dailyfinance.com/story/net-neutrality-john-mccain-says-no-glenn-beck-sees-a-marxist-p/19206288/) all over, not all of it makes sense

[tagnostic]

it goes back to when
a couple of the major
networks were delibaretly
bottle necking high download
traffic claiming that anybody
using that much bandwidth
was probably pirating
and were giving preference
to customers using their
services, it was ruled
illegal, then it got another
jump when networks decided
they could filter certain sites
at their discretion, that one
is still on appeal

leave the net alone
net neutrality means no special treatment
for any site and no blocking any site,
no bottle necking usage as long as your paying
for the bandwidth

but keep checking it out
no such thing as too much
information

[Will.]

Yeah, It also targeted net Hijinx, and Terrorism, (i.e.Will.sometimes.)
Who would tail these large information transfers, jacking the bandwith speed, to progress our constant idiocracies.

[tagnostic]

they want to block
all sharing sites too

[Will.]

they want to block
all sharing sites too

Those BASTARDS!

[tagnostic]

thats why
the RIAA
is for it

I'm definately seeing conflicting versions
time to do some serious synthesis

the more i see the less i like. regulating the internet with a regulatory system built to deal with communications in the time of rotary phones.

WTF indeed.

i think i am decided now .

my distrust of government wins out!
if the big bad corporations get slippy with it i will vote with my dollar or support situation specific legislation

net neutrality is a government power grab at worst and government incompetence at best.

[tagnostic]

gov't incompetence
is a given
power grabs are
inherent
the main problem with government
is the fact that we have it

[Sporkinator]

Feeling good about government is like looking on the bright side of any catastrophe. When you quit looking on the bright side, the catastrophe is still there.
P. J. O'Rourke (http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/p/pjorour166849.html)

Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.
George Washington (http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/g/georgewash118164.html)

Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.
Thomas Paine (http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/t/thomaspain100996.html)

If human beings are fundamentally good, no government is necessary; if they are fundamentally bad, any government, being composed of human beings, would be bad also.
Fred Woodworth (http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/f/fredwoodwo161692.html)

It is easy to destroy a country, all you need is information and enough people who are angry or dislike how it's going. But no matter how many times you "reboot it" it's still going to end up in the same screwed up and corrupt state.
