excellent response. You carry yourself well and are very clear in your illustrations. I have a friend like you, only 9 years older, and ... well, stay how you are, or rather, just keep growing and expanding the size of your think box while doing some laps around it... you'll truly be valued for contributions like this for the long run.
Compassion=sexy :) And no, I'm not another gay nerdboy like
I try my best to get my head around a concept reflect on them in an open-minded/active fashion. Right now, I don't think what I'm doing anything all that special, but yeah, I totally plan to keep up my lifestyle.
I have no problems with constructive criticism, but I know that there are people in the world, on the internet in particular, they will always attempt to beat EVERYTHING you say down. I take what they say very lightly and value comments like yours the most.
PEOPLE!! cant you just switch from vergin media to somthing als and then it dosent matter or dose it affect us all if every one just qwits virgin virgin will go back to normal any way
I mentioned elsewhere that a real impact=also boycotting buying the CDs of artists like Daft Punk, Gorillaz, Korn, Ben Harper, Enigma, Stooges, KT Tunstall... until they return things to how they should be with all sites equally able to be seen by all.
JTLDN: Idiot who doesnt know when Athene posts his video's if he make's an ipower video he they say when they make the video normaly Athene only make's his video's on Saturday so ... and to the guy who made this video youre totaly right about stopping them before they even can start with doing it
Ahh, thanks for the comment? Yeah, its a trend. Sorry if I'm more aware of trends and cycles then most people and that I pay attention to detail? I think of iPower/Athenewins as a show. Don't tell me you don't know when your one of your favorite shows is on TV. o_o
THEY AREN'T BLOCKING ANYTHING. Everything is still going to get through and still at a fast speed otherwise people won't pay for it. This is going to affect corporations much more than the end user. This is being blown way out of proportions. And your fire analogy should be "Stop a fire from spreading..." Even if I don't think this is a fire at all. Everyone needs to seriously think about what's going on. They want to charge companies money to provide their content faster.
I didn't say they were blocking anything. Check out what net neutrality is. They plan on charging companies for faster content. The companies that pay will have faster content, the companies that do not will appear to be moving MUCH MORE slowly. You are only looking at one side of it. We're looking at the content providers here, this affects independent websites and the internet population as a whole. If you think of it in depth maybe you'll figure it out yourself.
The problem is, they can't legally slow down other sites. So in reality yes, they will be slower than the paid ones, but they aren't going to be any slower than they already are. As for net neutrality, yes this business plan does hurt that, but as a CS major, I just don't see this really playing a huge role. The main point I'm trying to make is that they won't be slowing anything down and only speeding up other sites. If the non paying sites load slower it's a result of their own bandwidth.
What we would see is a DIVISION in the flow of the internet. There will be big FAST sites and SLOW small ones. This allows Virgin Media to propel certain websites which have their slant. The internet will turn into the sites that are MEGA-FRIGGEN fast which we would almost be forced to go to for information and the sites that are VERY SLOW in comparison. The slow sites will be deemed at not worth the time and will lose users. You can look at it as they are helping to build internet monopolies.
People already move in the slow lane. It's the major corporations that have the bandwidth supply available to them. That's what I was saying. They can't legally slow down any sites. They can only offer other ones faster. So we won't see a slowdown. It could appear as that in relation but it's not that. Simply put. Yes this is a bad thing. But the point is, if you think that the company will be able to maintain a customer base like this, you're wrong.
That actually seems like you are calling me wrong, yet agreeing... What company are you referring to in the last sentence, Virgin Media or companies in general? I'm working at subpar levels right now, I'm physically and mentally drained.
Yes I was talking about Virgin but any company that does this will probably lose much of their customer base. The best way to protest in this case is to switch ISP's if you feel it's necessary. I am aware that in most areas it's hard to find more than one ISP. That doesn't mean impossible.
Yeah, but people have to know about it first. The groups established on Facebook and Myspace was to spread the word. If the information isn't wide spread nothing would happen. That is another reason why I didn't say how we could fix it until people asked. I always sure to state, getting the word out is the BIGGEST part. I'm hoping that the people with the ISP will switch and that will be that, but if not, then at least people will know and we can take steps from there if needed.
Sure, I agree with you there. I just don't see this as the huge issue it's being made out to be. Even if I myself weren't aware, when my sites started loading slower I'd probably get a new ISP. Nevertheless, keep up the work.
Missed the reply.. Sorry. Also, I don't know what you were talking about when you brought up war protests. Those are everywhere. We just had a peace march in my town this week. I go to school in a rural Wisconsin town where the population is mostly conservative and trust me, if there is anywhere where this would be frowned upon, it's here.
It is 'seen' much less via media. The last major one(a hundred thousand people) was actually about a month ago, but I didn't hear about it from mainstream news. Maybe I wasn't attentive that day.
Number Crunch time!~ I'm not talking on a local scale, I'm talking on a country wide scale. MANY people are against the war, yet very few of them choose to protest. Rough average we have 300,000,000 people who live in this country, about 78% of that disagree with the war. Not everyone has the time to go out and protest it, but this year the biggest protest consisted of only 100,000people. 100,000 people is <3% of the total population. Where is the other lets say... 50%that can, but don't?
You may be right as far as protesting goes, but that is also affected by the election year. If you look at the voter trends, many more people have turned from protests to choosing a candidate that will end the war. That's where the real power goes to the people.
The new CEO of Virgin Media, Neil Berkett, has openly stated in an interview that they think net neutrality is "a load of bollocks" and claimed they're already doing deals to deliver some people's content faster than others. That would put websites and services that don't pay Virgin in the "slow lane", meaning those sites would load slowly and cause most users to give up using them and forced to use whatever Virgin wants to push through their network.(From Facebook/AtheneWins)
The internet is everyone, every nation and every person involved. What affects some of us as a community affects us all. We cannot allow business and corporate to destroy and control our freedom in this community.
Thanks, while I agree with you about Virgin, I'm looking more at the CEO who said it than the company as a whole. I believe if they CEO has to resign because of this (doubtful, but possibly) we've definitely done our jobs. Neil Berkett is a multi-millionaire, I mean he OWNS his own islands... The chance of him resigning just because of how much money he has is slim. Therefore everyone must NOT use Virgin airlines either, its all equal share.
I don't believe they sell anything other than phones in the US... Correct? Virgin Mobile is it? I don't believe they directly supply service for their phones, they are contracted with existing networks. So all we can really do is avoid buying Virgin Mobile phones, but I don't believe that is enough of a message.
