Chicago, IL | God Damn It! Fuck. I hate this shit. Stop fucking with stuff that isn't broken.
And why is this shit always opt-out? If you Comcast assholes think this is such a grand idea, make it opt-in and watch as the unwashed masses sign up in droves. Why do I have to opt out?
Just like with those credit card privacy notices....opt-out. Fuck you. Instead of paying lip service to my privacy, actually respect my privacy and fuck off. Leave me the fuck alone.
And what if I had scripts or systems that actually depended on a nxdomain response?
Comcast, may you burn in hell.

But there are a few sentences you seem to have missed adding profanities to.

Chicago, IL | said by jlivingood:Congratulations, Kapil, on your articulate critique. But there are a few sentences you seem to have missed adding profanities to. Over the years, Comcast has killed funding for local access television, stopped funding neighborhood projects and community programs, eliminated jobs from my community by outsourcing and concentrating jobs in a few locations, killed all meaningful competition by lobbying against it, engaged in ant-competitive behavior, introduced anti-consumer measures like hidden caps and now this DNS abomination, unleashed a torrent of unjustified price hikes, killed local franchise controls....and on and on.
All of the above has been repeated, by me and others, here on this site and at other venues....and your employer hasn't changed course. So, I could have repeated the same positions that are near and dear to my heart and watched comcast not give a crap....or just say, hey, Comcast fuck off! ...either way, the effect on your company is the same. What do you care?
Let's be clear here. You can shroud this nonsense all you want in "we're helping customers find sites they can't find on their own" or "we're managing bandwidth demand" ....what you're doing is protecting your profits. Comcast is greedy. It's not the only corporation with this greed problem, but let's not be ambiguous about the true nature of and the hidden agenda behind your actions - PROFITS!

I loved your earlier "fuck off" post because I myself have felt that way over less. This is just DNS redirection, and even though it's really sucky, it's just not that bad when you pull back on the zoom lens or compare it to all the other issues.
But as much as I loved your "fuck off" post, I think you'll agree that your later post added so much more to the conversation.
jlivingood  and ctg1701a may be running this company next year. If they are, I'll probably think it's in better hands than whoever was running it last year.
I like that they're techo-guys like us and not some liar from the PR department.

I found a better solution. I will be dumping Comcast entirely at the end of this month. Thank god for small miracles and actual competition.
Sorry that you suckers will continue to be bled by this devil in a $1000 suit.
Fiber here I come. Bye! |
