Well, a couple of years ago there was an article that stated how much money Scumca$t was making from hosting porn sites. Something they didn't advertise themselves, of course. But they were happy to cash the checks.......

It's all in who owns the controlling shares. Hewlett-Packard was a great company when Dave Packard still owned controlling shares but when he passed away and his family sold the shares and HP became owned by Wall Street it went to shit in quick order. People who loved working there quit and it just became another cookie cutter corporation that's politically connected so if you screw up, the government bails you out. You don't get great management with cronyism. They all cover their corruption or incompetence with government money and because they are connected, nothing happens to them. Eric Holder has their ass.
It's corporate gangsters. It's just like the mob. If you are connected you don't go to jail or do very little time. If you are the little guy on your own, you are in trouble. It's gangsterism. Some just call themselves executives.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

That's mattering very little right now. The National Defense Authorization Act is unconstitutional. Bottom line is those in charge right now could care less about law. They just care about what they can get away with. They have no fear of the American public. They have been duping us for years. They view us as suckers. If they feared us it would be different. You only get the respect you demand.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

Web host gives FCC a 28.8Kbps slow lane in net neutrality protest
NeoCities finds FCC's internal IP block, throttles connections to dial-up speed.

Lots of people are angry about FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler's Internet "fast lane" proposal that would let Internet service providers charge Web services for priority access to consumers. But one Web hosting service called NeoCities isn't just writing letters to the FCC. Instead, the company found the FCC's internal IP address range and throttled all connections to 28.8Kbps speeds.
"Since the FCC seems to have no problem with this idea, I've (through correspondence) gotten access to the FCC's internal IP block, and throttled all connections from the FCC to 28.8kbps modem speeds on the Neocities.org front site, and I'm not removing it until the FCC pays us for the bandwidth they've been wasting instead of doing their jobs protecting us from the 'keep America's internet slow and expensive forever' lobby," NeoCities creator Kyle Drake wrote yesterday.
NeoCities offers free and paid Web hosting. As Drake noted, FCC access to NeoCities is being throttled on the home page only, and not on websites created by NeoCities users.
Drake called Wheeler a "cable industry hand-picked lobbyist" and wrote that the FCC may not be protecting US consumers because "they got a dump truck full of money from the cable corporation lobby."
"If it bothers you that I'm doing this, I want to point out that everyone is going to be doing crap like this after the FCC rips apart Net Neutrality," he wrote. "It's time for the Web to organize and stand up against these thugs before they ruin everything that the Web stands for."
Drake put his FCC-throttling Nginx code on GitHub for anyone who wants to use it on their own site.Eat Us And Smile

This hilarious graph of Netflix speeds shows the importance of net neutrality
Since Netflix gave into Comcast’s demands for payment in exchange for a promise to deliver movies smoothly over the Internet to Netflix’s customers, speeds on Comcast for Netflix users have rocketed upward. Speeds on the larger service providers have been decreasing steadily since last fall, but following the deal, Comcast restored all the speed that Netflix had lost and much more in the space of a couple of months. Netflix might also have to pay Verizon and AT&T a similar fee to ensure that its customers enjoy reasonable speeds when they are watching films. Presumably, Netflix would eventually pass those fees on to its subscribers in the form of higher rates.
As the Federal Communications Commission considers new rules on whether service providers can charge popular Web sites additional fees to carry their traffic, advocates for consumers worry that deals like Netflix’s with Comcast will become common throughout the industry.Eat Us And Smile

Once they capture the government it's called fascism. The problem with economic warfare is the average person does not understand what's going on. When the enemy comes in with troops and tanks everyone goes "Oh Shit!" and they know what the deal is. With systematic economic warfare there is not that shock value. It's stealthy. People don't figure it out until the bad guys have most the power.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment
