Well, minus say 'internet tax'? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

it already is... find someone with a wireless network in your area and piggyback! |

free of bullshit? never. |

It'll never be free of Ads unfortunately -- their disease is spreading daily -- now the corporations think they're one of us and you get them joining myspace.com or making skins for Winamp... here's a message to them : fuck off and die. |

I boosted my neighbors wireless connection for a few weeks. Then I tryed to forward ports to azureus in their modem settings and they must have figured something was up because it suddenly became password protected. In Korea it's like 90% of households have hi-speed as a standard fitting. It should be free, as should communications and transport. |

yes, it's becoming that way. Metropolitan WLANs (wireless LANs that cover a whole city) are popping up - google and intel have started setting them up all over the place in America. I saw an article on slashdot about bullet trains and trams in japan becoming internet-enabled with wireless 100mbit access, provided by satellites. it'll be a while before it pops up over here though, i imagine. for the meantime, be thankful you aren't stuck on 56k. |

Yeah big corporations actually *wish* for it to be widespread, free and fucking fast, so they can deliver their own propagand.. errr products right to your face. |

in first class on the some of the newer GNER trains that run from London all the way up to Glasgow, there are signs up saying that they have wireless enabled. |

deeaaaaaadly. |

depends what do you mean by "free"... free as in not paying? maybe... (i'd have said "yes, sure" - but now that i think of it, telephone and tv still aren't free nowadays) free as in where you can say and do really anything you want without any censorship of any kind? well, it already is kinda like that... but it probably won't stay this way for long, unfortunately. : / |

They are indeed ruining the internet. Personally, I dread the day a skype-type service replaces the telephone. We can expect it to be rendered useless by constant telesales calling as spammers sell lists of people's contact details running into the scores of millions and no one is put off by the normal costs involved in making a phonecall. With spam, I can just about deal with/tolerate 9 out of 10 messages not to actually be for me. If it was over the telephone? I'd "do a virginpusher" and chuck the bloody thing out of the window. |

"They are indeed ruining the internet." ... But are they ruining... the... internets? |

But - it´s easy to block? I have no ads whatsoever since getting a blocking app for my computer. Fantastic! (you can even block stuff until there´s only text left - great when on 56k line) |

|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, like everything else that get´s more and more spread and accessible... :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Free, yes. BTW, we've got access to two wireless networks..... HA! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
yeah like TV right? in wich you have to PAY to see something decent. idiot. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do you? or do you just have to pay to see the "fashionable" programmes? |
||||||||

Was I talking to you? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
no, but i was talking to you. |

haha, that was funny - which internet do you use? I can choose my own content. And internet is free in a lot of places (but you`ll need wi-fi and that and computers aren´t free, as most other things - but the access to the internet is free of charge, it´s the tools that cost...) |

avart : pop-ups aren't the only kind of ads - there are plenty of embedded ads on the internet, some of which have fucking sound which can totally ruin a track you're listening to etc -- hell, even if you were sitting in silence they are still annoying as fuck. It just sucks that NOWHERE is safe from advertisers any more - those insidious ruinous cunts. |

The Internet is free. Tim Berners Lee never patented it because he wanted to be this way, a decent bloke basically. All you pay for is your phone line. The Internet is free. It's BT et al who are the nasty bastards. |

I didn´t mean pop-ups, I mean those ads embedded in webpages (and yes those with sound are the most evil ones...) On my macs I use Safari (therefore no pop ups) together with "Pithelmet" which adds additional blocking - no ads whatsoever! I´ve just used this combo a few weeks, but it´s amazingly effective already (got a message that pithelmet has blocked 4000 ad-sites by now) There got to be apps who takes ALL ads away on the Windows platform too? (All adverts around us in the daily environment bothers me more, they are harder to block away...) |

let's see.. people can download music, video, software .. games for free off the net, now people want to have the Internet itself free? LOL.. natural born thieves. Have pity on the poor saps of days past who had to do the hard work and shoplift stores and probably end up in jail. |
