Re: Sure if it was cheaper Okay.. I don't know Canadian laws.. but I'm talking about the US.. but I REALLY fail to see how even in Canada that a landlord can't evict a tenant if they're smashing the place up.. but if that's so, remind me never to buy and rent a home in a country with such absurd laws..
Here, in the US, which is what I'm talking about, yes, you live by the general house rules on the lease. They CAN and DO tell you many things such as how long you can have a "guest" staying with you with out notifying the landlord. They CAN tell you have many cars you can have parked in the property. They CAN tell you that you can't damage the interior and if that's found, they CAN evict you... so god bless america for having laws that I find appropriate.
And I'm sorry.. In canada, the home doesn't legally become "yours".. it becomes yours to USE... you don't own it. And down here, yes, they can do a 40 notices to every tenant asking for an inspection.. they are well with in their rights to do so.. they do this often in apartment complexes when they suspect the units are being damaged.
Blocked ports and mail and phone calls.. not a comparison.. sorry.. doesn't work. An ISP DOES have the right to block ports... they sold you a level of service that you AGREED to in advance.. even in Canada.. do you not have service agreements that outline the service you are paying for? Answer - yes. You must agree to it to use it.. you don't agree to it, be ready to find another provider... plain and simple. You're now asking a hypothetical question "why should they be allowed".. why? BECAUSE IT'S THEIR NETWORK! If they don't want a network filled with servers, then that's their rights.. its NOT yours... never has been. I think you need to study up on what the "net" is... the "net" isn't just your connection.. it's a connection of computers of various networks.. and guess what.. they ALL have rules.. if you want rules.. go look at business services in general.. they definitely have "rules".. more than so of the residential kind. What's so hard about following them? and you can quite honest, leave out the whole "gouging corporation" crap.. I hardly see how $20 more a month for a service level that fits your needs is gouging. You sound more like an entitlement person. It's a FACT.. servers are going to send more data over the lines than a typical residential user.. that's why they block them on residential lines.. quite simple really. Sorry if that doesn't fit your Utopian dream that doesn't exist, at this time.. maybe in the future, but not right now.
Now.. for these stupid kids as you speak of.. they don't need a WAN to learn how to use a server.. do you not work in corporate IT? Many servers are built and tested on corporate LANs first..
And some landloards in buildings DO control the heat.. I guess you've never heard of central boilers.. the LLs will set the max temp.. you can either tap into it, or shut it down for cooler temps..
Sorry, but you're full of holes..
I'll leave it at that.. becuase you did miss the point about "being able to do what you want".. you took it way too far.. I was just having fun tearing your example to shreds... to relax. BUt still.. you're way off in your examples.. sorry.. |
