Video Conferencing practically worthless? You're kidding, right? My college uses a setup that allows a teacher to teach two classes at two campuses an hour apart. Hardly worthless if you ask me. Best part? If you miss a class or have a scheduling conflict, you can get a DVD recording of everything that happened in the class room.

All you need to do is get the few backbone providers in the country to do the blocking and you're set. If Level3 were to comply with a Presidential Directive, that would cut most (if not all) of Vermont off. Level3 is the only Backbone provider here.

Now I have a reason to be excited for my 24th birthday!

JACK THOMPSON, WHERE ARE YOU? I miss that guy sometimes *wipes tear from eye*

Finally, my senators are doing something before I have to do something! God bless Vermont. In all seriousness, we need to stand up against Big Media. The morons running the RIAA and MPAA need to learn that they can't control media like they used to, times have changed.

Meet the Motorola Shules: http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/07/30/renders-of-android-powered-motorola-shules-fly-in-from-mother-russia/ Yes it's a render, but from what I've read on different sites the current live shots of it don't reflect how it currently look compared to the renders. Also, this phone is coming to Verizon (along with another Android Morotola phone). Docs leaked by Best Buy put this phone as coming out in late Oct.

There better not be any music involved in this. There is no music allowed in the music industry.
