Oh, they knew. They had no choice, really. They needed a machine that could fully utilize the new 150Mbps FiOS connection they ordered.

Al Franken's Warning On Net Neutrality 564

Posted by CmdrTaco on Monday July 26, 2010 @11:44AM from the hate-when-the-comedians-are-right dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Democratic Sen. Al Franken weighed in on Net Neutrality over the weekend at the Netroots Nation conference of liberal activists in Las Vegas, calling it 'the First Amendment issue of our time,' and warning against Republican plans for less regulation. More from a blog post on CBSNews.com: 'Speculating on what the Internet could morph into under the Republicans' preferred lack of regulation, Franken asked the audience of bloggers how long it would take before the Fox News website loads significantly more quickly than the Daily Kos website. "If you want to protect the free flow of information in this country, you have to help me fight this," he said.'"

Helping virus writers? Don't virus writers target the lowest-hanging fruit: the average Joe? Joe sure as hell doesn't read the Microsoft Knowledge Base, let alone knows of its very existence! Let's be realistic, here. This is coming from third-party AV companies, remember... they're fighting to stay relevant.

I really can't see why we can't have a government-commissioned open-source system developed and mandated for use for public voting functions.

I absolutely hate the thought of my vote being inputted in to a closed magical-mystery box.
