Nick: must EVERYTHING be reduced to a zero-sum game?

Everyone else: Thanks!

Also-- has anyone actually gotten either of the newsletters? I signed up for both daily and weekly, and haven't seen anything.

Thanks Nick--

Just to amend my previous comment-- I did get editions of Gary's daily newsletter on the 18th and today, and the weekly one today.

The daily is pretty nice, I was skeptical initially.

Do people think that comments are the primary value of Friendfeed? The headline is sensationalist.

Re: The con of man-made global warming

The man-made-or-not argument is a red herring, used by both sides.

If the trends are real we need to understand what sort of adaptations might be needed, and figure out if there are actions we can take to stabilize the climate.

If it threatens our continued existence, we might not have much choice.

That, or take steps to ensure the future of the species isn't tied up in the survivability of Earth.

Was using "long tail" and "wag the dog" in the same sentence intentional?

Amusing metaphor collision...

I think you (and TDavid maybe)have the issue backwards?

My understanding is that net neutrality advocates want to make sure that the companies controlling the last mile arenÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t allowed to degrade or block packets based on source or typeÃ¢â‚¬â€which has nothing to do with customers Ã¢â‚¬Å“paying more for faster serviceÃ¢â‚¬Â.

I wanted to add, I'm not entirely sure I'm comfortable with businesses being regulated this way-- EXCEPT for ILECS and cable companies that owe their historic or current livelihood to government-granted monopolies. When those companies are not acting in the public interest, they need to be slapped down.

I guess this is kind of interesting, but the real earth-shattering revalation is that the great Weird-Al/Coolio Feud has come to an end! (last question in the Q&A)
