When someone kills 17 people at a school with a knife then I'll take that argument somewhat seriously. Until then its the most ridiculous cop out argument people against gun restrictions take.

Play the DKC games. Cranky is his Grandpa.

So that means DK from DKC has to be DK the third.

hmmm, I always thought Cranky was his dad and DK was DK Jr. Where the heck is DK Jr then?


There's a rumor that he's been missing (or killed) since the Great Ape War.

I think they do this more so people take their receipt with them rather than try and catch people at the door. It's really common for people to grab receipts out of the trash then grab items that are on the receipt off the shelf, and then "return" them for a refund.

Hasn't NN only been in effect for 2 years?

What were things like before it?

Things started to get out of control. Obama had to keep them in check. They will be free to continue now.


Okay but how were things getting out of control?

2005 North Carolina ISP Madison River Communications blocked VoIP service Vonage.

2005 Comcast blocked or severely delayed traffic using the BitTorrent file-sharing protocol. (The company even had the guts to deny this for months until evidence was presented by the Associated Press.)

2007 AT&T censored Pearl Jam because lead singer criticized President Bush.

2007 to 2009 AT&T forced Apple to block Skype because it didnt like the competition. At the time, the carrier had exclusive rights to sell the iPhone and even then the net neutrality advocates were pushing the government to protect online consumers, over 5 years before these rules were actually passed.

2009 Google Voice app faced similar issues from ISPs, including AT&T on iPhone.

2010 Windstream Communications, a DSL provider, started hijacking search results made using Google toolbar. It consistently redirected users to Windstreams own search engine and results.

2011 MetroPCS, one of the top-five wireless carriers at the time, announced plans to block streaming services over its 4G network from everyone except YouTube.

2011 to 2013 AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon blocked Google Wallet in favor of Isis, a mobile payment system in which all three had shares. Verizon even asked Google to not include its payment app in its Nexus devices.

2012 AT&T blocked FaceTime; again because the company didnt like the competition.

2012 Verizon started blocking people from using tethering apps on their phones that enabled consumers to avoid the companys $20 tethering fee.

2014 AT&T announced a new sponsored data scheme, offering content creators a way to buy their way around the data caps that AT&T imposes on its subscribers.

2014 Netflix started paying Verizon and Comcast to improve streaming service for consumers.

2014 T-Mobile was accused of using data caps to manipulate online competition.

She says the case is based on a loss of profits, but argues that its a free-to-play video game, and that in order to prove a loss Epic would need to provide a statement certifying that Rogers cheating directly caused a mass profit loss

I know she's throwing out arguments against Epic and seeing what sticks, but I don't understand this one. If the game was $60 to play, they would have already gotten their money out of the kid. would see her point; they get $60 whether the kid cheated or not. However, this is free-to-play, which means they're only getting money on microtransactions. The players aren't going to want to keep coming back and buying in-game items when the game is full of cheaters. The health and stability of the game is the potential for profit. One person cheating does cause loss of profits from other potential buyers, but I suppose proving a specific amount would be difficult.


ah but Activision has a patent where they match-make people who haven't bought loot boxes against people who have better weapons, in order to incite players to buy lootboxes. So you could argue that this cheating kid is making players want to buy boxes so they can get better.
