Re: Net Neutrality - things are about to get seroiuse

RIPA is the bad internet law I still want overturned here, still fighting that, blocking pirate sites was totally ineffective. Technological workarounds are a much better plan than waiting for tyrants to not act like tyrants. That's why I'm involved in Namecoin rather than involved in letter-writin...

Re: Net Neutrality - things are about to get seroiuse

As I said, there's little danger of 'Net Neutrality' spreading the UK, it was discussed & dismissed years ago. We don't blindly copy every policy of the US. It's a non-issue in most of the rest of the world too. I'm just trying to understand why Americans get excited about it. Well, Americans are e...

Re: Net Neutrality - things are about to get seroiuse

'Net Neutrality' got thrown out as a bad idea years ago. As long as no EU politicians hear about it then we should be safe from net neutrality here. But you already have more controls on the Internet there than we have in the US. Your main Internet provider, BT, is basically the government. Sure, i...

Re: Net Neutrality - things are about to get seroiuse

Would it matter to you what speed my internet is, thousands of miles away, in a country you never even plan to visit? It's not being nationalist to not care about trivial things that happen thousands of miles away. I don't really care how much you pay for your milk, your TV subscription, or for a b...

Re: Net Neutrality - things are about to get seroiuse

MWD, I'm not American, it's not an issue here. It was discussed a few years ago & we (as a country) decided Americans are talking rubbish again & ignored it. So you're also nationalistic and xenophobic. Ah, that explains a lot. I'm an American by accident of birth. I have zero nationalism. I hate a...

Re: Net Neutrality - things are about to get seroiuse

I'm not interested in conspiracy theories,..... = you saying: "LA LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU! I DON'T WANT TO LOOK AT ANY IDEAS THAT CHALLENGE MY CONFIRMATION BIAS." I don't believe most things that are considered "conspiracy theories." And you are using ad hominem bullshit there, basically calling ...

Re: Net Neutrality - things are about to get seroiuse

So net neutrality will ban peering agreements? It will sneak all kinds of crap in through the back door. It's a "don't look behind that curtain" shell game, and I'm amazed when people as smart as you are duped by it, John. Tom Wheeler, the head of the FCC helped get Obama elected. He's a snake who ...

We need more dot-bit websites to encourage adoption of NMC

Someone wrote on another thread: Let's be frank: The future of namecoin right now is not overly bright. I didn't want to hijack the thread, so I started a new one here. Here's my answer: One thing that would make the future of Namecoin a lot brighter would be more dot-bit sites that aren't just squa...
