> In another post, Feld described the last time the FCC classified a service as Title II, when the FCC made cellular voice roaming a common carrier service in 2007. “This took remarkably little effort,” Feld wrote. “The FCC explicitly rejected the requirement to do rate regulation or a requirement to file tariffs with the prices and did not need to engage in any extensive forbearance. They just said ‘nah, we’re not gonna do that.’ The final adopted rules are less than a page and a half.”

@MattGiltaji They weren't, that was the thing. The charges were literally just added to their bill because AT&T doesn't bother verifying their legitimacy or anything.

@TimStone it is both unbelievable and completely within line of the kind of stuff that ATT does

Q: Joining Club Nintendo without a PIN

I´ve just bought a second-hand Nintendo Wii console, and I have previously bought a second-hand Nintendo DSXL. I´m trying to register for Club Nintendo, but it asks me to enter a PIN number which I did not receive with my second-hand consoles. On the US Club Nintendo website it appears that you ...

@MattGiltaji I wonder if ISPs actually expect to have any significant degree of consumer trust

@murgatroid99 the problem is that even though i loathe my isp, i have no other choice in my area

if i want to be online, i need to use them

12:09 AM

@MattGiltaji exactly

People hate them, but use them anyway because the alternative is worse

It's like the definition of a monopoly.

and i'm not even in a rural area or anything

At this point, I really just want Title II because it will make the Google Fiber rollout marginally easier

user image

@GnomeSlice I hate you for linking this massive time sink

@murgatroid99 At this point, I honestly don't care if Google takes over the world. It'll be a better place than it is right now.

12:13 AM

@Yuuki my only concern if i got google fiber would be that one day I would recieve an email explaining how it would be shut off in a month

@Yuuki That's part of the reason I feel good about working there for the foreseeable future

@murgatroid99 @StrixVaria Please be gentle when you take over the world.

@Chippies I remember wasting so much time on that. Good thing I can't remember what it was called. AND DON'T DARE TELL ME.

@murgatroid99 this is why i am mad jealous of you and @StrixVaria

@Arperum okay, I won't tell you what it's called

12:15 AM

@Chippies see how high you can get, I think @GraceNote has the top score in here

@Chippies wat have you done?!

user image

@GnomeSlice I doubt it's held the test of time

@GraceNote If somebody has been playing it since then, possibly not.

@murgatroid99 I need to catch up on Castle.

12:16 AM

@Chippies It's bedtime anyway, and I'll have forgotten it by tomorrow.

@GnomeSlice do you know what that is?

@Yuuki I haven't even watched Castle (except for random episodes). That was just my first thought

I've wasted too much time on it, I'm playing it quite carelessly, I just want it to be over

@Chippies lol that happens to me too after a point

Can't find the exact figure, sorry

@GraceNote might be able to

@Wipqozn "that chat" which chat am I in? This one?

12:21 AM

@GnomeSlice Nope, don't have my old save or anything because new computer

@Wipqozn and no, I don't really play Spiral Knights anymore. The devs never released any new content. They were only interested in selling reskins.

@GraceNote You did mention it in here, though.

user image

I AM DONE WITH THIS!

TAB CLOSED, HISTORY METAPHORICALLY CLEARED!

@Chippies Oh what's that game?

@RedRiderX don't know, don't care, its' gone from my memory!

12:24 AM

@RedRiderX Glowgrid

From the makers of Pushcat

Mar 10 '14 at 23:53, by Arperum

@GnomeSlice 1838 at glowgrid on my first try.

spent way more time on that stupid game than I wanted to

I probably could've got more, but nope, I just wanted it to be over

@Arperum rekt

time to go make something tasty as a reward for all this time wasted

user15026

yay for tasty things

12:25 AM

@GnomeSlice That was my first try, cant remember if I did more, probably did.

@AshleyNunn no fair, i am so hungry right now

@Arperum did you ever figure out a way to get a lock'n'roll bot working?

user15026

@MattGiltaji offers a brownie, or some macaroni and cheese (the baked kind)

@AshleyNunn these are both delicious

@GnomeSlice wut? I don't even know/remember what this lock'n'roll bot should do.

12:27 AM

@Arperum lol

maybe I'm thinking of somebody else

did you make a 2048 bot?

@GnomeSlice Possibly.

Lock 'n Roll

that lock n roll

@GnomeSlice That was @KevinvanderVelden

aha

sorry

for some reason I thought it were you

Why do people keep confusing me with @KevinvanderVelden? I completely lost count of how many times this has happened now.

12:28 AM

@Arperum You kind of seem like the same person.

@Arperum I blame the "vanderVelden" part of his name and you being from the Netherlands. Or some part of Europe that reminds me of the Netherlands.

@GnomeSlice are you mad we reminded you of the @picnicpuppet thing this morning?

Someone play ToME so I can watch!

No?

@GnomeSlice What. No. I'm not him! We even live in a different country.

12:29 AM

@OrigamiRobot I can play Dark Souls

@OrigamiRobot Also ToME is free, play it yourself

@Yuuki I am from Belgium, and do speak Dutch.

Although I don't think I've confused with you with @Kevin in the past.

@GnomeSlice That not what I asked for

I could be wrong. I say all sorts of things after drinking milk.

should we get our hopes up?

12:30 AM

@OrigamiRobot I can download it and play it, does steam let you stream nonsteam games?

Yes

@Rapitor YOU SHOULD BE MORE HYPED ABOUT THIS.

HYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYPE.

@Rapitor Microsoft apparently updated the battletoads copyright last year

@Yuuki i'm already hyped about that

@Yuuki No

12:31 AM

Anyway, bedtime, it's 1:30AM, and if I get in bed in 15minutes or less I'd have my earliest bedtime in more then a week. And no, I do not have a break, I'm working full days.

is that a bundle of MM and Monster Hunter?

@Rapitor I THOUGHT I COULDN'T GET ANY MORE HYPE BUT APPARENTLY I WAS WRONG.

@Rapitor I don't think so, but the poster hints that they'll be released on the same day along with the NN3DS.

@OrigamiRobot follow up question, how hard is it to get into

I've never played it

Those are some pretty awesome launch titles if it's true.

oh my wallet.

12:32 AM

I don't know, I don't know anything about it other than what @Sterno and @StrixVaria have said in here

That's why I want to watch them play it

K well I'm just gonna play pitman instead I suck at games like that

or blood dragon

that game is awesome

Thanks :(

@Rapitor Kinda glad I didn't really spend much on Christmas now.

My family's not really that into gifts, so we don't really care if anyone gets presents or not.

was the price tag for NN3DS revealed?

@OrigamiRobot k fine

gimme a minute to download it

12:34 AM

@Rapitor They released the EU pricing.

Converted the US dollars, it's ~$200.

wow, thats surprisingly cheap

It is?

the ToME site is garbage

user15026

@Yuuki Yeah, I'd expect a $199ish price point in NA at launch

@Sterno have you played Paper Sorcerer?

I've been meaning to for some time now.

I have it apparently.

12:37 AM

@AshleyNunn I CAN'T WAIT.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

user15026

I am not like OMG WHEEEEEE about it but that's because as of yet nothing makes me super excited, but I am sure something will at some point. I know i am going to pick one up regardless, so.

Remember when the DS was only $150 at launch.

Good times

STUFF COSTS MORE

i was expecting 250-300.

i wouldnt even be surprised at 350

Then the revamp was only $130

12:39 AM

@OrigamiRobot Eh, the tech included makes me feel $200 is actually a bit cheap. Especially given the price creep in consoles.

@OrigamiRobot If I hate this game I probably won't keep playing it

It looks like 1Quest

and I am terribad at that game

@Yuuki What tech?

user image

gg

@OrigamiRobot Better processor, more memory, better 3D... pretty much better everything.

Amount of times Undo Send could've saved my ass tonight: 3

Thanks Inbox.

12:40 AM

@badp :3

I call that standard improvement after 4 years.

Wait the normal 3DS was $250 at launch?

@StrixVaria Hey, want to play speedrunners?

@OrigamiRobot I dunno, was it?

@GnomeSlice Clearly there's too much cleavage for you, so you can't play it. Access is denied.

Yep

12:42 AM

GTFO Nintendo

It dropped to 170 less than 6 months later when nobody bought it at 250

@Unionhawk But it's like one extra dimension and stuff!

Except when there isn't.

1) this was in 2011 and I'm just reading Wikipedia 2) I don't have a second point

3) I always think of a third thing when making a list

Meh

12:45 AM

0) Starting lists at 1 is so peasantlike

Zero-Based Indexing Master Race

gtfo

Nobody does zero indexing in a non-programming setting

user15026

@OrigamiRobot IT was, but then it dropped, peopel who bought it at that and registered on Club Nintendo got the ambassador stuff

WELL GUESS WHO JUST CHANGED THAT

HERE IS A FULL LIST

0. me

I was about to say, except maybe you

@AshleyNunn Oh, is that how they determined who could get the ambassador NN3DSs?

Q: Using Netflix when PSN is down

Does anyone know if there's a way to use Netflix when PSN is down (which seems like a fair amount of time these days)? I've no idea why you need to be signed in to use the service in the first place, but I can't seem to find a way around it. Many thanks.

Q: How do I make my custom commands in Minecraft?

I read the previous question about the same topic, but I didn't find a good answer there because I don't know how to use bukkit and don't have it. Is there any other way that can be done in-game, without using additional features or programmes?

Q: Clan wars in clash of clans

What would happen if I left my clan during battle day and came back still during battle day? Would I still be able to attack?

1-meh. also a bunch of people on mailing lists

I've basically given up on handheld gaming.

Literally meh + 1 people do that.

And by definition "meh + 1" isn't meh.

A non-trivial amount of people belong to the Zero-Based Indexing Master Race.

QED

afaic meh+1=1

Whatever. This is stupid.

@OrigamiRobot I spent all that time downloading the free ToME

And it turns out I own the upgraded one on Steam

user15026

12:48 AM

No idea. As per Eurogamer, "The New Nintendo 3DS Ambassador offer is by email invitation only for selected Club Nintendo members in Europe only who fulfil a certain criteria.
We are unable to disclose such business information, however we would like to reassure you that we are continually looking at different promotional offerings we can bring to consumers at various times throughout the year.

@Unionhawk ONE'S A CROWD if that one's urmom.

user15026

So no one really knows

I'm appealing here to @LessPop_MoreFizz's golden standard of "that is not offensive if you say 'urmom' instead of 'your mother'"

please direct your complaints to pobox@lpmf.invalid.bs

@GnomeSlice has the same problem as @Sterno

try again

nope same thing

that's weird

lemme try the nonsteam one

try one more time

12:50 AM

I could see your browser

I couldn't

weird

...

@OrigamiRobot try again, I'm playing the free version

You were typing in it

No I wasn't

oh i am now

12:51 AM

I see all your porn tabs!

same problem

Keep in mind there's like a 5-6 second delay also @OrigamiRobot is 100% trolling you

as soon as somebody joins the broadcast it goes to a tiny ass window

user image

only when somebody joins broadcast

user image

@OrigamiRobot the hell?

12:52 AM

Okay, 50%

This game is fuct

pick something else for me to play

Elite Dangerous

Is Galaxy on Fire II okay

@GnomeSlice Git Gut Simulator 2014gut2016me

SkyDrift

12:53 AM

closest thing I have

@OrigamiRobot OKAY

yusssssssssss

I haven't played it in like a year

this is the pinnacle of technology

@OrigamiRobot ZipKrowd (the european dudes that create stupid Minecraft farms) have discovered 7 Days to Die

uh oh

12:55 AM

They made a zombie farm

Stupid Minecraft farms?

@Yuuki They were the ones usually responsible for re-finding sand generator exploits, for example

(though I think that's finally patched for real)

They do hyperefficient farm designs and whatnot, a lot of the time

Hmmm, apparently MS might be scrapping IE and making a new browser. That could be either good or bad...

Well, think of it this way: will IE really ever go away either way?

(no)

@Ktash source?

12:59 AM

Nah, IE usage has been dropping pretty steadily for a while

@Ktash Nope just maintaining an engine fork that doesn't have all the backwards compat stuff.
