The FCC is not Congress. It's an executive department under the aegis of the President, who is the chief of the Executive Branch. The courts already basically said the FCC is free to categorize ISPs as common carriers unless Congress passes a law to stop it. Read the Ars article about it.

If they declare ISPs to be common carriers, then they can apply common carrier regulations on them. The problem with parts of the Open Internet Order was that they were applying common carrier regulations to ISPs without classifying them as common carriers beforehand. The FCC is free to do so under current laws. They just haven't done it.
 

Points on Slashdot are rarely mute, although they are sometimes moot.

Right now, if you don't like your Internet service, you often have to keep it. That includes if they discriminate based on who is sending you data.

ISDN was broadband. You could band as many PRIs together as you chose. One BRI to an office, well, that wasn't broadband. 30 or 40 PRIs muxed off a fiber was. A DS3 was. An OC-12 definitely was.

What deity do he pray to that needs him to know the names? Most people who pray choose to pray to an all-knowing, all-seeing, everywhere all the time, all-powerful deity. Surely if he prays for them in general an omniscient, omnipresent, all-powerful deity could figure it out.

This sounds like a ploy for a dirty stalker.

It sort of looks to me like TF2 or any other arena team shooter (Q3 Arena, Unreal Tournament/UT2004, Nuclear Dawn, lots of others) but with characters more from DOTA. I like the idea of a shooter with these wacky powers.

It's probably better than the alternative mix, too: a top-down, zone-of-control, resource renewal, last hit game where everyone runs around with a shotgun. I might give that a shot too, though.

How does the food pyramid exactly cause type I diabetes?

I work on servers with systemd as the init system. Yes, it's quite possible to run a server with it. It does things that in fact make much more sense for a desktop. It's not terrible, but it's moving away from the simplicity and modularity we've come to expect.

The distributions should be wary of putting all their eggs in the freedesktop.org basket. Not all systems are desktops, and they shouldn't rely on desktop features at the expense of their own roles.

It's bolt action. It's fairly accurate. It's available in .308 Winchester which means it should fire 7.62 NATO fine. IT's also available in .338 Lapua if that's preferred. It's under $1600 at single unit prices. The .338 has a box magazine.

The Ruger 700 is under $900 in .308 and it can take a suppressor, muzzle brake, or flash hider on its threaded muzzle.

The Tikka T3 CTR cost about $1000. It has a glass fiber-reinforced copolymer stock, a 10-round box magazine, an integrated picatinny rail, and a threaded muzzle.

My choice would probably be the Tikka CTR which in volume pricing should be more than affordable.

You underestimate how difficult it is to keep the Coke fluid in those climes. ;-)

Some reasons for RPGs and MUDs being banned are that traditional MUDs are server systems rather than web apps, RPGs for the web tend to be heavy applications, they tend to be heavily trafficked, they tend to be poorly written and become security issues, the gamers tend to complain to the hosting company when things go wrong, they tend to get very spammy in their chat systems, and they tend to turn into command and control systems for malware if the people running them aren't careful and skilled. If you want to do something like an RPG, a dedicated server is really more appropriate than shared hosting.

As for parody, any decent US ISP understands the DMCA and copyright law. The DMCA forces them to forward the complaint and to take things down after a certain amount of time if there's no response. Parody protects you in the courts. The DMCA makes pre-court demands of the hosting provider. They can lose their immunity from copyright suits if they don't cooperate lawfully. Just be prepared to challenge takedown notices.

Other than a conforming DMCA takedown notice, any decent hosting provider shouldn't care as long as you're not a DDoS target and the content is lawful.

You seem to be more concerned about defamation than DMCA. HostGator for one won't do anything about defamation claims until there's a court order. They'll shut your account down if you are a frequently repeated DDoS target on a shared server, though. They'll do what the law says they have to do when the DMCA is involved, though.

I was re-asking questions asked in the articles.
