Mozilla might not be as big as Google or Netflix in most consumers’ minds but as the maker of the popular Firefox browser, it does have some clout. That’s why it’s noteworthy that Mozilla on Monday recommended that the Federal Communications Commission use the “nuclear option” against Internet service providers by reclassifying them as common carriers under Title II of the Communications Act.

lets just hope something happens. as of right now i cant remember a time where i actually watched Netflix in HD to say the least of this entire mess. 

Space Journal #1: So Apparently i  was dropped on the moon like i'm a mars rover, in a matter of hours i have found the transformers on the dark side of the moon. Turns out its not that dark since dem robots are filled with lights, i waved hi to the Russians on the space station, turns out all those stories about space finding humans instead of the other way around is true(soviet Russia joke). They threw me some Heineken beer and I've been sitting staring at the people of this forum and earth since.

It was because, many years ago, he made a private donation to an anti-homosexual group and some journalists decided to dig it up and shame him. It's entirely irrelevant to the discussion on net neutrality.

 

I really hope the American people have the backbone to do something if the fighting ends with FCC concession, like forming a mob that envelops the whole of the Lincoln memorial's Reflecting Pool.
