News: Comcast 'Unlimited usage' really means '250GB per month'

Misleading much? Illegal much? I should say so.

No person of any kind, reasonable or no, can argue that saying that you cannot go over 250GB per month is something other than a limit. And a preset limit at that.

Oh, and the argument of 'access' over 'usage' that the simpleton customer service rep spoke of? Access entails usage when it comes to the Internet. One cannot access any materials via the Internet without transfer of data. That is what the Internet is, merely transmission of data. Access entails the transmission of such data, otherwise, one has no access. So, go ahead. Play that card and see how far you go.

Why are deceptive practices such as these the norm when it comes to technical services? I realize that most people don't understand the difference or how the Internet truly works. And, to be honest, it's OK if they want to pray on those ignorant to the reality of it. But, when someone who knows what they are talking about questions the practice, they really need to fold like a house of cards. Just pack up and stop it. Trying to justify your BS policy to someone who knows your full of crap, just makes you look likes idiots.

If you want to ride the wave of technology to capitalistic success, you can't alienate the ones who will build your next technological advantage. Let me put it another way...

Piss of the geeks, and they'll work with your enemy to destroy you.

If you allow a touchdown, you lose. If you allow a field goal, you get the ball and need to match or beat. If you match field goal to field goal, then its the first to score again. Weird.

News: IOC orders blog take down video of death; refused by CA law

Canada law is protecting a blogger displaying the video of Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili against an IOC takedown order. Pretty cool stuff. The IOC asserts that it owns ALL rights to all images taken at the game. But Canadian law allows copyrighted images to be used in newsworthy cases. Will be interested to see how this one turns out.
