Forget SOPA, You Should Be Worried About This Cybersecurity Bill by icefall5in technology

[–]The_Reverend 2 points3 points ago

These bills will keep coming up, otherwise the new NSA Data center won't have anything to do. The American Government is spending a butt-tonne of money so it can nosey about in all the electronic comings and goings; changing the law is just an afterthought. They won't let this investment go to waste.

But they do stimulate the economy. More jobs = more earners = more spenders. A.K.A the Multiplier Effect

Do you mean the tumblr photo? They have timestamps on them which make them break after a bit. If you mean the artist, I couldn't find the photo (easily) on his website.

Well funnily (or not so funnily) enough, they were down for a few hours on Wed night (11pm-4am apparently). So that sucked for trying to download linux ISOs over night. But I think that only happens about once a year?

As for speed, my linux ISOs download at around 100-200kbps. It's not lightening, but I don't mind too much.

Well if you save $7 a week, get 60GB more internet with Slingshot, and keep a phone line, it's kind of a no brainer right?

Slingshot, but we also have home phone with them.

I get 100GB for $50 a month, with acceptable speeds. However, I've never used internet outside of NZ, so I don't know what "acceptable" means to other countries.

Yes you're quite right! I'm not from England (was there on a gap year), so had forgotten that's what it's called.

Very similar thing happened to me - except I was a relative. My Auntie had prearranged for me to pick up my 6 year old cousin, but then forgot about it. When she got to the kindergarten everyone was freaking out because some young man had taken her boy. Luckily she realised it was me.

And this was in England, where I thought the teachers seemed super suspicious of every male. I kinda felt like a pariah hanging out outside with all the mums, waiting for the kid to be released.

Police News: No drink drivers found during road policing operation by thepenismightierin newzealand

Third heading: "Press Release: New Zealand Police"

Yes, I imagine so. Just a chance to get out some Christmas safety messages.
