My only concern with treating internet as a utility, is that ISPs will likely start charging you based on how much you use, rather than a flat monthly fee.
It's like that in the EU and none of my national ISPs do that. Not that this means it'll be the same in the US, but just for reference.
That's reassuring a bit. Hopefully ours work out similarly.

I don't see what's wrong with that.
Because it's nice to pay $x/mo and not worry about how much data I use. My house usually uses around 400gb a month.
Sucks to be you, then.
People who suck up more data should be paying more, that's just supply and demand.
But internet isn't a finite commodity like water, gas, etc. It's just 1's and 0's.
Bandwidth is definitely finite.
The ISP's infrastructure, yeah. An ISP's bandwidth should accommodate its customers, not vice versa.

http://www.theverge.com/2014/11/10/7185933/fcc-should-reclassify-internet-as-utility-obama-saysPresident Obama has come out in support of reclassifying internet service as a utility, a move that would allow the Federal Communications Commission to enforce more robust regulations and protect net neutrality. "To put these protections in place, I'm asking the FCC to reclassifying internet service under Title II of a law known as the Telecommunications Act," Obama says in a statement this morning. "In plain English, I'm asking [the FCC] to recognize that for most Americans, the internet has become an essential part of everyday communication and everyday life."
There's been a growing battle around protecting net neutrality — the principle that all internet traffic, no matter what it is or where it comes from, should be treated equally — ever since the FCC's original protections were struck down in court earlier this year. Those protections were able to be struck down because the commission didn't make the rules in a way that it actually had authority over, so it's been trying to create new rules that it will definitely be able to enforce. It hasn't chosen to use Title II so far, but net neutrality advocates, now including President Obama, have been pushing for its use.
Regulating internet service under Title II would mean reclassifying it as a utility, like water. This means that internet providers would just be pumping internet back and forth through pipes and not actually making any decisions about where the internet goes. For the most part, that's a controversial idea in the eyes of service providers alone. It means that they're losing some control over what they sell, and that they can't favor certain services to benefit their own business. Instead, providers would be stuck allowing consumers to use the internet as they want to, using whatever services they like without any penalty. If that sounds pretty great, it's because that's basically how the internet has worked up until now. *grabs popcorn*

A new girl started in our payroll dept today. My boss came by to introduce her.
"Max, I'm here to introduce you to [new girl]"
Hi [new girl], I'm Max, and I do [things I do at work]
Fuck, I've already forgotten her name. Story of my life.

Pope Benedict actually made this decree. Feel free to continue to think that Francis is revolutionary, but this is not a new occurrence.
Huh, I had no idea. Perhaps if the Catholic Church doesn't want to be known as the safe haven for kiddie fiddlers, they should do some more PR on what they're doing to clean house. Good on them for ditching those guys, though.

Baby steps, but good news!http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/11/09/pope-francis-excommunicate-priest_n_6122766.htmlBUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Pope Francis has excommunicated a pedophile Argentine priest, a move applauded by advocates for victims of clerical abuse.
Jose Mercau was sentenced to 14 years in prison in 2011 after admitting to sexually abusing four teenagers. He spent 15 days in jail and was then held in a monastery in Buenos Aires province until he was released last March.
The pope's decision was made public Wednesday by the bishopric of San Isidro on the outskirts of the Argentine capital.
Many welcomed the news, but victims and advocates of clergy sex abuse said the Roman Catholic Church still needs to be more determined, effective and severe when it comes to punishing such crimes in Argentina.
"The church still has a long way to go," said Sebastian Cuattromo, director of an advocacy group called Adultxs for the Rights of Infancy.
The policies of Pope Francis "are being carried out because of the long fight by the victims," said Cuattromo, who was sexually abused by a priest in Buenos Aires at age 13.

Haven't messed with custom launchers on this phone. Really enjoying Google Launcher.
Lollipop comes out soon and Moto X's get first dibs, I'm so excited.
I really like the Google Launcher except for the fact that the folders always show that stack view. Nova, Apex, etc, let you set a single icon for a folder.
