  I figured that if I kept giving them money, EVENTUALLY they would make awesome movies.

  I don't know. Manning has always seemed like she has a childish intellect.
  
  But I agree on Snowden.

• On the post: What Net Neutrality? While The FCC Naps, AT&T Now Exempting DirecTV Content From Wireless Usage Caps

  Please explain.

  Re:

  Not to defend AT&T (I feel dirty just typing that), but this is the easiest argument to make.
  
  If DirecTV is on their own network, and not going across the internet, AT&T doesn't have to pay their ISP for that traffic.
  
  This is EXACTLY why we need true net neutrality, because it will always be cheaper to stream your own stuff and that naturally tends toward lack of competition.

  Re: Interesting wrinkle

  So, the correct answer is to stop paying on the car and let the dealer know that they can repossess it from the police lot.

  Wow...Mike can't read...

  "And you know you look at what [ISIS is] doing with the Internet, how [ISIS is] taking and recruiting people through the Internet. And part of it is the psychology because so many people think [ISIS is] winning."
  
  That makes perfect sense in response to the question.
  
  "Cyber: ISIS is using the Internet to recruit and as propaganda."
  
  "Just like CNN says I'm winning and my campaign is suddenly happier."
  
  I'm no Trump supporter, but this article makes you look bad, not him.

  Re: try bying an airline ticket

  I got some tickets on SkyBus for $10 each back in the day. Our total cost for 4 tickets was $40...plus $80 in taxes and airport fees.
  
  How about that 200% in extra charges?

  Close?

  If you're that close, you could use a knife or a gun.
  
  While this is a concern, a murderer is a murderer and will find any means necessary to murder.

  Not on their side anymore

  I was with them as long as Binge On provided an optional customer benefit that could be completely shut off.
  
  No more. The FCC needs to go after T=Mobile now.
