Dave, I USED to have the utmost respect for you and your work with RSS along with all your other accomplishments, but I have to ask you something. Why did you think that anyone wouldn’t get the least bit upset at you posting comments like that? I am a Republican, I don’t have a limp dick and I also have a happy wife and 2 kids to show for it.
Yeah I might have lost my cool but you fail to understand one simple thing that I already know. To say to someone that you’re either Democrat or Republican (in my opinion) represents a mindset. I would not ever insult someone’s intelligence or go out of my way to hurt anyone’s feelings or sensebilities over which political party he or she has chosen to affliate with. Oh, and be sure to read my response as well Dave.
I found this on my ustream channel (JohnB’s Goof-Off Channel) that I, unfortunately, had forgetten about. This is a Talkshoe simulcast back from late last year. This is episode 142 of “JohnB’s Digital Graffiti Talkcast”. Enjoy.
Thanks to Seesmic’s API they recently released a video comments plugin. It works really well and it’s nicely integrated. It can be found at http://wiki.seesmic.com/Wp-plugin . If you’d like to see an example check out another post on this blog here. The video comments are backed up by seesmic (meaning they’re hosting the videos.) and I’m glad I can take part. I’m having a lot of fun.
I’ve been reading a lot about ISP’s moving towards bandwidth caps. Comcast is most likely going to go with a 250GB monthly cap and TimeWarner is testing a 4GB monthly cap for new customers in Beaumont Texas. I really think it’s a bad idea for business due to the fact that heavy internet/bandwidth users (and yes torrent users as well) will just move elsewhere. While more and more ISP’s move towards measures to prevent them to beefing up their own infrastructure, I’m not entirely sure they’ll ever catch on to the fact that at the end of the day they’re only hurting their own customers and in turn their own bottom line. (not to mention this is one step towards abolishing net neutrality)
The Devil’s Advocate:
All ISP’s have the right to run their own networks how they see fit right? All those torrent seeders downloading their illegal mp3’s (Ed. which is usually nothing more then a linux dvd iso download) and their pirated software are hogging the pipes for everyone else and that’s not cool. So we’re going to lessen everyone’s monthly bandwidth usage and if you go over you’re going to pay us extra. I don’t really get why people think they can just take take take and take, stressing our powerful networks to the max. (Ed. which is why they still need to beef up their networks/infrastructure anyways.) We’re into keeping our shareholders happy. We really don’t care about keeping our customers happy, the shareholders make us the most money anyways. We’re just going to continue to be cheap-asses and you all are going to like it, whether you like it or not!
