Fear not; if net neutrality is broken...
I'm running for President; Jaerik can be my VP.
BitTorrent A Thing Of The Past.
BitTorrent a thing of the past.
Net neutrality speculation has been around for a long long time.
To be honest, this time 5 years ago everyone was saying by 2010 we'd be on a TV channel type of system and it hasn't happened yet.
Not saying it never will, but people like to doom say a lot.

If they decide to go that route (and they are, that's why Comcast sued and won the ability to do so), "getting around it" will be about as easy as "getting around" television channel packages. There's nothing to "get around" if you need the service to try and get around the service to begin with.
It's a huge problem. Net neutrality is vitally important to how the internet works. Congress has a number of bills sitting in committee to enforce net neutrality and not allow ISPs to move to this limited access pricing structure, but so far Republicans are objecting, saying private companies should be allowed to do whatever they want without regulation.

There are ways around it, My uncle knows how to steal premium channels with only basic service hooked up, granted you never want a cable repair man to come out and inspect your line, I had one of the things in my room that is used, and the *** dude started interrogating me about it, like serious "Why exactly do you have this??? You are NOT to use these. He said something about writing a report and if they find it again something or other"
I didn't even use it, it was just laying down there with all the cable related stuff I have in my room when he came to re-run the lines because they had gone bad or something over time.
IN BOLD: Oh, and of course they are.. Does that honestly surprise you? Lol.
Anyone care to help fund an ISP that doesn't filter anything? College kid gotta make a living somehow =/
"quick! give this kid a few million bucks!"

I remember back in 1982 in Dominican Republic when they introduced TV Cable... pay a subscription per month and you can watch MTV, HBO, TMC, TBS and Nickelodeon, and so on WITHOUT TO EVER SEE A TV COMMERCIAL.
Then, as TV/Movie Actors get more famous + Movie studios get greedy to provide good profits for shareholders... then they introduce the commercials into CABLE. Soon after HBO and CINEMAX and other channels start charging monthly subscription. It's a Domino effect and eventually the consumer is forced to pay USD 100+ a month for cable (WITH COMMERCIALS) and a bunch ot HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE/cliche/nonsense Shows about other peoples' God Forsaken lives.
We are here paying all this money for cable because in U.S.A. YOU to have a big CAR, SMOKE like BAT, Drink like no Tomorrow.......

....pay $200 to go see the YANKEES Baseball game, and now after the AVATAR movie Effect paying $17 to go see a movie on 3D that mess up your eyes.
All this to fund the Movie Studios, Baseball Players and Actors’ Deep pockets, HECK how many millions did Alex Rodriguez is getting to play ball? These people making $10-20 million a year and we are the MORONS supporting their lifestyle. I have a friend (and old friend) who played in the METS 1969 world Series… HE got paid $12,000 for that year, without STEROIDS and all that Crap.
I'll be very happy to buy a $35.00 BLUE RAY MOVIE when i can make a couple of millions per year, or a job that can pay me $400.00 per hour to justify $35.00 of my hard earned money go to these millionaires.

The thing I don't understand is why these people want to spend a metric *** on lobbying governments and developing filtering technology to piss off their customers and negatively impact the quality of their service. [extra filtering latency anyone?] This would also be a recurring *** since filtering traffic is a constant arms race trying to keep your filters up to date, and to keep people from getting around them.
These ISPs need to sack up and invest that money into their infrastructure, where any other thinking person would put it. By increasing their capacity and quality they don't have to spend money on filtering tech just by virtue of having made the "undersirable" traffic a non-issue.

I would hope if something along the lines of Comcast's plans ever came to pass that many more local start-up ISPs would pop-up because god knows the demand would be there. I forgot what city or state it was, but I recall a story about a public-funded ISP that delivered the fastest broadband available in the area after so many complaints surfaced over the quality, choice and availability of the existing ISPs. I think that's awesome and don't want to have to wait for Google to save the day to see that happen. :v

this has nothing to do with FFXI but i figured being a gaming community everyone for the most part is into getting a hand out or back-up copy of something you already own from the wonder-full world wide web. most forms are in P2P such as bitturrents and to do so you first need a search engine or source to get info on where the data is to download. ther "WAS" plenty of sites back in 2008 but as of the last 2 years the US government has been sueing out the a** to every search engine sight providing the info the torrents to peers and down loaders, and after each site gets sued they remove ALL links, (keep there sight running for god knows what reason. to leech the occasional click per link adds i guss) and the list of ones iv been using over years as of april 5th are all gone
first it was mininova.com, shortly fallowed by pirate bay, then as of april the 5th. isohunt, the 3 biggest giants of bittorent is dead. there are numerous other sites all filled with ad-ware/mal-ware and other nasty stuff and provide very.. very... few search results. if anybody knows of any remaining legends of decent working bittorent sites please freely post them.
--Disclamer--
this is by no means asking for help or providing help in the act of illegally downloading anything nore am i reasonable for trouble anybody gets into wile resorceing to sites provided. just mrealy asking for good torrent sights to find archived data for worst case scenarios such as a disk frag/crack/scratch beyond use, etc.
