Which you could just use cruise missiles against.

Thanks for mentioning this. Revenue is a pretty useless figure and no one pays attention to it for determining the health or success of a company. Metrics like profit, net profit, or cash flow are far better indicators.

Wheeler's statement contains very few things to be positive about. They're not going to do last-mile unbundling which means the monopolies are secured. There won't be any rate regulation so without the competition there's nothing to stop them from raising rates without improving service. End user throttling has been the majority of throttling issues while the big published ones alleged to be throttling are actually congested routes so this statement doesn't address that. I just don't see very much that's positive.

There has been throttling to individual users that are high bandwidth users but that's about the extent of throttling. Everything else I've heard that has been blamed on throttling has turned out to be congested routes, something which the FCC statement does not address.

They're not putting in rate regulation or doing any last-mile unbundling so they don't have to open their networks to competitors. That's a fun combo for insanity. Comcast can still throttle Netflix while having their competing service at lightning speed by just simply allowing the connection through which 95+% of Netflix traffic passes get congested. A more nuanced version of rules would need to be seen but I see very little positive changes in the proposal and more that entrenches the status quo.

I don't see anything he made a declaration of addressing any real problem that exists, at least not any wide scale or high public problem. For example, the Netflix/Comcast or Netflix/Verizon spat that seems to be the darling child of why net neutrality is needed. In order for regulation to address that problem they would need to either prohibit direct connection between networks, which essentially breaks the Internet without highly nuanced rules on top of only preventing the direct connect arrangement between Netflix and Comcast from ever being established, or they have to mandate minimum bandwidth being necessary at interconnects unless you want to get into the assinine statement that an oversaturated link is throttling.

I don't want a plot of land. I want HUGE TRACTS of land.

Yet the Colts didn't deserve to be in it. The balls they played with on offense weren't altered or deflated and the still only scored 7 points to the eventual 45 that the patriots scored. The Colts offense was shut down by the Pats defence and that's that. Would valid balls or the Pats have changed the outcome? The answer is it is unlikely the box score for the Pats was 14-3-21-7 and the possible issue with the balls was cause before halftime and corrected. So even giving the Pats a score of 0 for the first half would still yield a Pats victory of 28-7. You'd have to successfully argue that the Colts could have reasonably got three defensive touchdowns to send the game into overtime.

Don't get me wrong. The Pats deserve an asterisk for the AFC championship and the Superbowl because of the cheating but I won't say that they didn't deserve to win it.

Fuck off,tool. There's a league of difference between the accidental deaths you cited and 1-10 unavoidable deaths per launch.

I'm guessing it was native americans invading a viking settlement in Canada... or something.

Unless you're unfrying four fried chickens, I'm not interested.

An ID card is free in some states.

It's a destructive scanner which isn't entirely a bad thing if it permits a far more accurate scan.

If someone is a courier taking a locked object from point A to point B then having the key with courier isn't a good idea. Transporting the key independent of the goods help prevent people from getting access. This would just be a another method of transporting a key from point A to point B.

They did but it's not relevant to the controvery because the timing is the issue. Had the organizations not been targeted they would have received the status sooner. Now, whether you agree or disagree about whether running ads about various civic issues in a leadup to an election in which they matter should or should not qualify for tax-exempt status it is hard to argue against the fact that the targeting prevented these organizations from engaging in the election in any way shape or form. To suggest that they still got the status and so everything is alright is to pretty much deny the elephant in the room when it comes to suppressing expression.
