What a Tuel

No it doesn't. The alternative is cable television. Is that what we want for the internet? The ISP's might provide access to the internet, but the content of the internet is independent as it should be. The ISP should not get to play favorites and allow/disallow certain entertainment providers. As for the myth that other people like Azalin who are referring to customers "using too much traffic", well then these ISPs need to improve their infrastructure to serve their existing customers or shed those customers. We are talking about reducing the quality of a service because they have too many customers. In any other industry you start losing customers. There is too much lobbying going on to rely on "true" competition with these ISP's though. A standard speed needs to be set for the internet for the good of the consumer. And data caps shouldn't even be a thing. The cost of pushing this traffic has declined dramatically as the traffic has increased. Again though, this would be a completely different story if there was actual competition between these companies, but there simply isn't. Don't get me started on mobile data caps. What higher costs? We are talking about an ISP being able to say "Hey Netflix, pay me more money or we slow down your speed" vs an ISP having to provide the same speed for most services. This offers a dramatically higher variety of access to the entirety of the internet at consistent speeds. This is good for consumers, but admittedly not for Comcast's stockholders. Edit: For those that will say "well Netflix uses a ton of data, they should pay more" then ok, what happens when Netflix pays for higher speeds to the detriment of other services? Do we see how this will hinder competition and independence of the internet? Not to mention the ISP's are multimedia conglomerates who have a vested interest in the success of their content as well. Imagine it 20 years down the road. Access to the internet should be universal and separate from the content of the internet.

It isn't about maturity. It is about perception. The NFL sees an opportunity to stay out of the public perception of a drug culture. Alcohol is legal, they can't stop that, but while marijuana is illegal they have an excuse to ban it and sidestep the cultural drug issues they would have to face, including the perception of fans of the league. Made widely legal and available, there is no doubt the characters of the NFL would make fools of themselves bringing unwanted attention to things not involving football like they do with alcohol. It's all a game playing with perception and social stigmas. (Edit: There is an argument to be made that they aren't sidestepping opioids in the same manner.)

It may be on Henderson because he knew the rules, but it also means that we don't have to blame him for being an idiot and have a little compassion for what he went through. Also Goodell should take that into consideration for his suspension if changing a phone number merits consideration. "Bell knew the rules"

Unless you are Le'veon Bell. Then they take whatever excuse sticks.

This is where I said above we need to be careful. The FCC has made great decisions lately stopping those ISP's from putting the internet behind a paywall for businesses and eventually people. Net neutrality is not a government takeover of the internet. It is a good thing for the end consumer and small businesses.

We have to be careful here. There are 2 different things going on. The freedom and independence of the internet, and legitimate cyber security threats like China. The ISP's would like nothing more than to became the gatekeepers for the internet, and they are trying to do that with data caps, and offers of "free data" for going with certain providers like Netflix, or even their own streaming services (Comcast owns NBC) . They are trying to close the door to the openness of the internet, or at least control who can go through. (ex. You don't want to go through Netflix? You want to go through "Sling TV? Well good luck streaming HDTV through Sling TV with your data cap. NBC Stream is otherwise data cap free!" So while I am aware of attempts to monopolize the internet, I do think there are valid security concerns that should be listened to. It really depends on what Obama's "international agreements" entail.

How many chances does Bell get? Didn't he have a DUI + Marijuana possession charge reduced to 2 games last year? Now a missed test reduced to 3 games this year. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000504287/article/leveon-bell-suspension-reduced-to-two-games http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000687567/article/leveon-bells-suspension-reduced-to-three-games So maybe someone should tell us what Dareus is doing differently than Bell?

Out of my 5 leagues, I think this is the one I am most proud of. QB Bortles RB Doug Martin RB Matt Forte WR Antonio Brown WR Mohamed Sanu TE Martellus Bennett FLEX Kelvin Benjamin D Jets K Carpenter Bench Jamaal Charles Tyler Eifert Justin Forsett Matt Ryan Kamar Aiken On another note: Forsett went undrafted as a result of his Raven release, but he resigned today. Do I drop Hogan, or Sproles to pick him up in another league?

Too far!

"I would take just about any of the cut quaterbacks over this guy. He straight up sucks and to give up a first rounder and more for him? Is marijuna legal in Minnesota?" Minnesota Fan Should we tell him about Tasker's idea?!? We could talk them into one 1st and one 2nd rounder as a compromise!

Chase Daniel and Carson Wentz are Philly's qbs....

You think the Bills are signing Gronk for $455,000 to sell a fullback jersey? Really?

This is what I thought would have been the context. Thank you.

I feel bad for all of our children and their children. It is going to be one fudged up world.

It's pure racism. They don't have the "systemic power" for it to be frowned upon in the mainstream but that's what it is. (and it's getting there) "We don't want white people to use our stuff" (cultural appropriation) "Those white people are the problem" (white privilege) "white reporters to the back of the protest" (whites can't cover or support black protests) "I was really nervous to get up here because there's a lot of white people in the crowd" (calling out innocent white people as violent at an orlando vigil) "we don't want to associate with white police officers at a barbecue" (BLM activist on the peaceful barbecue between blm protestors and police in Kentucky) "white people are the problem with our society" (white privilege) “Not just all lives. Black lives. Please do not change the conversation by talking about how your life matters, too. The “tired trope that we are all the same,” Garza elaborates, serves only to “perpetuate a level of White supremacist domination.” (not equal) All things reported by the media with no scathing undertones, and hardly any public backlash because there has been a successful and targeted effort to suppress such a retort with destruction of career and reputation with the label "racist" for disagreeing or criticizing. It is disgusting.

There's also one that flys fast and low at 1:09 before the explosion. Chalking it up to tricks on perception with a camera zoomed in a few miles away. The timing on that one is just so crazy though. On another note I already see people claiming this is proof 9/11 was an inside job, because the tower survived lol.

You can take a suspension if you are injured? That's kind of sketchy.

Wait, wouldn't this have not happened if Russ Brandon had the personnel influence everyone complains about?

http://www.express.co.uk/news/weird/706639/Did-UFO-cause-Space-X-explosion-Shock-claims-of-anti-Facebook-alien-interference I'd write it off as a bird or a bug if it wasn't moving so damn fast. If you slow youtube video speed down to .25x you can see it much clearer through its progression across the screen.

Are you saying it dropped something onto it? Because it looks almost like a bird flying above it, not quite low enough for a direct hit. "The Israeli made Amos-6 communications satellite was, according to Tech Crunch, carrying technology to allow Zuckerberg's firm to spot beam wireless internet directly to smartphones in sub-Saharan Africa." This sounds too useful to just be for private (civilian use). Then again what do I know. edit: is the camera sped up? because it looks to be moving really fast too.

What corporate interest lies in making it look like black people are being stalked and murdered by police?

Why doesn't this lady just go grab a gun at a gun show, or somewhere that doesn't have background checks. I hear it is super easy.

I don't know about everyone else, but I am more offended by the continued proliferation of inaccurate accusations that police are murdering black people for paid leave with no statistical facts to back it up other than anecdotal cases that never support the theory that cops are out to kill people let alone specifically black people. I blame the media who is selling their soul for the ratings, and BLM because it is founded on a lie.
