Commented on Internet brownouts, pay-per-byte, and other doom-claims of anti-Neutrality "researchers"
Shucks. They've been predicting the Death of the Internet because of bandwidth issues for over a decade and half. Not gonna happen. Bandwidth is non-scare commodity. "Bandwidth expands to fit the waste available" is VOIDMSTR's LAW: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voidmstr's_law...

Commented on Court orders Google to ID anon blogger who called model "skank"/"ho", blogger threatens Google with $15 mil suit
Calling someone a 'ho' -- a whore or prostitute -- constitutes what's known as "libel per se" libel by itself/obvious libel. This is the worst type of libel/slander under the law. That means you don't need to prove malice on...

VagabondAstronomer commented on CNN ends a web news experiment
Free content always makes me chuckle. This seems to imply that the Internet is free. It certainly isn't for me; like many, I pay my local ISP for access. So, for me, the Internet is like cable television; you have a lot that comes with the base price. To a degree, I understand where companies like Newscorp, and to a lesser degree CNN, are coming from. Only to a degree, mind you. On the other hand, paradigms shift. Not keeping up sometimes exacts a heavy toll....

KanedaJones commented on CNN ends a web news experiment
Oh and don't forget the ads. tv is a 'free' medium that is paid for by advertisers. Web ads don't make them any where near as much, but then again with tv viewers in decline and 500 channels to pick from tv ad money is getting smaller too. How tv execs think they should stay the same on one hand (bad shows) and totally change on the other hand (charge more directly) would seem so baffling if it wasn't for the one unifying factor in both motives. grab the money and run....
kaleena commented on Storm-sewer dwellers of Las Vegas
I just finished reading this book and it was really interesting! About half of the book was just descriptions of the tunnels and superficial history lessons and the other half was conversations with people living in the tunnels (I the latter best.) I was surprised by how many people (that the author interviewed) were Vietnam vets. Definitely worth read!...
