Because they have been doing the injections for at least a couple years now and it was widely covered in the press when it started. There's nothing, therefore, for people to do in this thread beyond devise their own discussions around

$5 off a $70 bill is not "good" for your granny. Frankly, any broadband wired home should get a trivial "email access" style service for a minimal fee just to cover the accounting and maintenance. Your granny should be p

The tax-payers have subsidized massive broadband expansion that never happened. Many of the players pocketed the savings and just never followed up with their end of that deal. Also, network congestion has nothing to do with bandwidth limit

That's ridiculous. I remember about six years ago, I got a notification from them for using too much data. When I spoke with them, I said I needed more data (we get everything over the internet, there are several of us here, and I also

Unfortunately, so many citizens feel this way, too. It never occurs to them that the government never gives power back. Look at the Patriot Act. It just keeps going and going and going. It never occurs to them that when you give a president

Unfortunately, our education system does not teach us that the Constitution is a framework setting form constraints upon the government, but as a framework establishing and itemizing a list of freedoms citizens are allowed. So, we have an e

Actually, RDIO has never been forthright about what quality they stream in. From their customer support in their knowledge-base: -------- "We're not currently providing specific bitrate or codec information. We experiment with dif

That's his point - what is happening to that subscription level? The RDIO post only says "we now have that service, but ad supported and if you don't want that, you can pay $10 for our unlimited service". So what is happ

Fair enough points. The NXDOMAIN interception is actually why I wounded up at OpenDNS, myself. It was back during the time that Comcast started to force it on users. I work with mega-enterprise-level email servers, among other things, and

While there are occasionally other fun linux distros to toy with for a few days, I have never found any compelling reason to stray from Debian after it has served me on the desktop and at the server level for sixteen loyal years.

Three. Don't forget the website, itself. Well, maybe four or five or ten. Don't forget all of the advertisements and beacons on the site you're visiting. Well, maybe also Google, if you're using Chrome. Oh, and maybe eve

It may be surprising how many sysadmins and staff at even huge companies and massive complex highly-technical deployments don't understand very much about DNS. I have seen so many mission-critical deployments of various systems brought

But you're just pinging the servers, which is not as informative as the actual response time for returning a lookup. There are exceptions, but ISP-provided nameservers are often problematic. My ISP is one of the two or three biggest in

I guess I'm the only dummy who wasn't thinking of the actual Self language and thought I was going to be reading about a programming language that wrote programs by itself. Yeah. I'll show myself to the seat in the corner. Sh

Why do you want to put OpenDNS out of business? They offer a decent free service that is faster and more reliable than your ISP's nameservers usually are and they offer you a lot of control. Don't like having NXDOMAIN redirected?

OpenDNS allows you to disable interception of NXDOMAIN. Just go to your Customization settings and make sure "Enable NX Domain Redirection" is unchecked. Ex: http://i.imgur.com/UxjoLkA.png I invite correction, if

Hell, it is difficult even if you have sustained work (not freelancing or self-employment). That's just the way things are. And, frankly, I can't blame anyone. If I were going to lend you a half million dollars, you better believe

After sixteen years, it remains a silly novelty and nothing more (I'm surprised to discover it is still even a thing). People aren't going to keep track of two separate times - especially one that is so different from the normal t

I both hope and fear that you're right. We all-to-often see people more interested in voting for and supporting things based on "what am I going to get out of this" as opposed to more vital abstract things like "is this

But I'm not trying to use any lyrics site. Rap Genius garbage just always popped up on my (to me)-unrelated searches. People can respond to me with how they're not spam or they're not as spammy as other lyrics sites, but the

All I know is that they somehow come up in my google results fairly often and usually unrelated to the context of my intended search and it always felt like it was SEO'd junk crapping up my results. I added them to my google filter to

Certainly not. The point isn't that vacations are terrible and people who take them are somehow lesser. It's that if you love what you do, then you can't wait to do more of what you do. Vacation is another thing you can be do

I've backed the better part of 1,000 crowd-funded projects in the last couple of years and it has been a very mixed experience. I've stuck primarily to video game content and, of those, many are extremely late. Many have simply st

Can someone clarify for me, again, what is so special about Rap Genius? It's just a bunch of stupid rap lyrics. So what? In fact, how are they not being sued for copyright by the owners of all the lyrics they're posting, anyway? I

Vacation isn't for the weak; it's just for those who don't like their jobs very much. If you love what you do, there's not enough time in the world for you to do it as much as you want. If you're just working for a
