I'm sure they bundle that all together, instead of paying more for separate feeds of the same channel This is an interesting if old and outdated article about a guy that essentially created his own cable network in his neighborhood. I always thought that it would be cool to give that a try...

That's the point of ASIC's, more computing power for less energy and hardware. Though when the reward drops to 12.5 coins in a few years, most of those ASIC will be turned off and thrown out probably.

At least the good thing about charter is that you can call them up and threaten to cancel and they will lower you're bill for another 12 months.

Mining also is used to verify transactions. I think the idea is as the reward for mining continues to get smaller, transactions would get larger and those verifying the transactions would share in transactions fee

If the price were more stable, bitcoin would certainly work great as a payment system. With the price widely fluctuating the way it has been and the issues with a major exchange, I can see companies being turned off by it. However the reward of having low to zero cost transactions for purchases...

Anyone got 100 million dogecoins lying around? Man selling home for $135,000 in Dogecoins - CNN.com

Gox was the cause of quite a few problems with bitcoin over the past several years. I'm glad it is gone but it does suck for those that lost a lot of coins and money. Its too soon to tell if it will have a major impact on bitcoin overall. It probably will shake out those that were just looking...

Its called open connect

Gox was the cause of several major issues in bitcoin. Its probably a good thing they are gone. Sucks for the people that were holding coins in gox though. I'm sure that this will lower the price of bitcoin substantially though and will probably drive a lot of miners out due to the loss of ROI...

So if that report is right gox lost 744k coins? That's a hell of a lot of money for someone or someones

For those of you that are interested, btcguild has created a new pool called scryptguild that mines scrypt based coins. I guess he has an algorithm that will switch the mining power to whatever coin is the most profitable. Lets you exchanges that scrypt coins for btc right at pool. Good way to...

That's kind of the whole point of bitcoin, there is no central authority making rules or laws. I suppose you could look at it, as being the libertarian dream currency. The free market will weed out bad actors like mtgox. Certainly looks like a lot of people are getting fucked that had their...

because they are owned by the ISP? ATT and Verizon at least

It will only happen where they face competition. Funny how that works!

News on the spinoff Former Vampire Diaries star lands the lead in Supernatural spinoff | Blastr Sounds interesting, I'll wait and see what the pilot looks like though.

Gox price is down to $134. Campbx and btc-e are around $580. I think rinthe might be right, gox is going bye-bye

Peer Wars: Netflix SuperHD Streaming May Explain Video Traffic Slowdowns for Some Customers | Stop the Cap! So America's largest ISP, maybe purposely slowing down traffic from Netflix unless they get paid. Netflix offers them a free service that would help with bandwidth and major US ISP...

Comcast $avings: Your Bill Isnt Going Down, Nor Will It Increase Less Rapidly | Stop the Cap!

I'd like to see more of this across the nation. If only cable and telcos weren't buying off state and local politicians to stop it. Utah cities score broadband deal that rivals Kansas City and Google Tech News and Analysis

True but as far as I know you can still deposit money there. Just need to be willing to sit on the coins until they sort out their technical issues

Price is down to $250 on mtgox, if you could actually get coins out of there, you could make a killing selling on another exchange. Btc-e and campbx are still in the $600's

Yet community based broadband with fiber to the home does just that. EPB Fiber Optics | Support Chattanooga, TN 1 gig fiber connection for $69.99 a month. What you really mean is that connecting homes with fiber cuts too much into big cables profit and will affect their share prices.

Then municipalities should be free to build their own fiber to the home networks, where they don't have to worry about profit, except the cable and phone companies are buying off politicians to prevent that from happening so they can continue to gouge their customers with inferior service...

Really? I have two in my suburb, ATT or Charter.

LOL, this could turn it around for bitcoin. $2.7 million gone from silk road Drug site Silk Road wiped out by Bitcoin glitch - Feb. 14, 2014

There are more and more exchanges coming up. A big issues was when MTGOX controlled a large part of the exchange market, they still do have a large market share but less than it was last year. The price on MTGOX is $470 currently but over at BTC-E, its $657, at campbx its $670. MTGOX isn't the...

The biggest issue I have with bandwidth caps and throttling is that companies like comcast are stifling competition with them in favor of their own services, which proves that the bandwidth caps and throttling are just bullshit excuses to charge customers more and stop people from using rival...

That's because Verizon is making more profit on the wireless side than FiOS. What we need is for the government to open cable lines for competition like phone lines were and we'll see faster speeds, uncapped bandwidth and cheaper prices for all. All this deal does is screw consumers.

Well smallville went on 10 seasons. I think that would be a good number for supernatural to hit

Funny how in Canada, where ISP's were opened to competition, companies offered no caps at cheaper prices. Competition does that. Not the shit we have now with monopolies and duopolies in most areas. HissyFitWatch: Canadian Telecom Companies Annoyed Consumers Getting The Upper Hand | Stop the...

What the FCC needs to worry about is how Comcast is treating rival streaming business' like netflix. Users are throttled and capped on bandwidth so comcast can protect its video profits.

No it will pass with ease, since the two companies don't compete in the same markets. The only losers will be the consumers

Its possible. I have Charter and I'm fairly happy with them, except the switch to all digital made my clear qam tuners useless

Means they'll pay more for less, have their bandwidth capped and start paying overage fees for exceeding that cap

Yeah the free market, isn't so free when it comes to cable and telephone companies. I wish Congress would force cable companies to open up their lines to competition, like they have in Canada. Then we would see true competition

The people at Charter have to be pissed, they've been trying to buy Time Warner for a while. They even enlisted Comcasts help, saying they would sell cable systems in the east coast to them. It will get approval from the FCC, even though it will fuck the customers.

The US pays more for slower speeds than pretty much the rest of the world. That won't change as long as corporation control the politicians. Look at kansas, the cable industry basically ghost wrote a law that aims the prevent competition, like Google fiber Kansas Cable Industry Ghostwrote New...

I suppose they could regulate exchanges that operate in the US. No way they could do anything about exchanges overseas.
