Also, think of the carbon that's sequestered in your books!

If you use energy efficient lights and the sun, then you could easily be using less energy reading your books than watching TV or browsing the Internet.

I type Dvorak and program.

Sure, the semicolon is no longer on the home row, but if you're typing it that much, maybe something's wrong with your programming. You'd be writing some pretty short statements. The placement of the dash and underscore is much more helpful (to the right of your right pinky). Dvorak also does a better job of spreading those characters between your two hands instead of putting them all on your right hand.

Parenthesis, square brackets, and curly braces are usually done in pairs, so if your a serious programmer, you'd already have a macro to make the pair in less keystrokes and with a more convenient placement.

Most people arguing in the net-neutrality debate don't know IP routing, routing protocols (specifically BGP), traffic classification, and the amazing price of internet when last-mile isn't a problem. I don't see many people who know all those areas speaking up.

Lev3k accurately points out that with IP routing, when a packet is handed to another party, how it gets there is up to that other party. So now you'll have to use BGP communities and hope that every provider on the way is respecting your "no provider 2" community. This is taking an already huge table of values (full internet routing tables have over 200,000 entries) with a certain amount of instability (average of over 1,400 prefix updates a minute) and adding another layer of complexity which would make routers cost more.

Packet inspection is more powerful that people think. There are packet inspection devices that can classify and shape a 1 Gbps link with minimal delay. So Tor traffic can be classified and throttled (or outright blocked) easily.

I was part of changing an ISP's last-mile connection away from telco leased lines to leased fiber, now their internet connection is about five times faster and costs less. That's with the same ISP, they just took the telephone company out of the picture and the ISP could offer faster packages for less money.

I've seen very few people who display first-hand experience in all these areas.

At least it doesn't involve magnets.

How about Penrose tiling pieces?
