What? No. You're getting this backwards. Lawmakers don't seek out people informed with opinions. People with opinions (and agendas) lobby lawmakers to get their views legislated.

This is the result of profit-driven enterprise gaining access to political power, and nothing else.

I think the traffic-shaping cat is already out of the bag. I think we need to BUILD the capacity we need. Federal funds, common carrier. If you want to peer, play by the (neutral) rules. I would like our tax dollars spent at home.

NO (!) content restrictions, no censorship on these lines. If something illegal is going on, that's a job for investigators.

I'd say it is less about "tweaking" regulations, and more about the enforcement. That seems to be where partisan lines are drawn. Like all laws in the US, network neutrality will be interpreted and enforced differently, depending on who is in charge.

At the very least, this proves the data is available and could be dug up in Discovery. I'll agree that it isn't enough info to base a lawsuit on, but it probably could open the door.

I take issue with your statement, probably because it is very broad. There are no inherent problems with fiber and IPv6.

I take issue with your second sentence as well, because we both know that the building of any infrastructure will be subsidized with tax dollars. This will happen regardless of neutrality or non-neutrality. I argue that upgrading is the way to go.

QOS and DPI are already in place. Our current net is not neutral. Leaving Internet Classic on IPv4 will just make it more deprecated.

I don't even want to have this discussion. Two nets is not an option, in my opinion. Hobbling the "good" internet with IPv4 isn't a good consideration for the two-net scenario, either.

Why? Why stay with ipv4 on internet Classic? So we can have NAT?

Or, is it just because you're used to it?

I would say good luck getting OSX to drive your HP's SCSI array, or your Dell's quad-port NIC.

Compatibility lists are always your friend in the land of hackintosh. You might be able to do something with 3U or 4U generic cases. Support would likely go out the window too.

The "I will probably get modded down for this" cognitive dissonance ploy only works if you're logged in.

I don't think the spoiler disclaimer is necessary on a 16 year old movie. However, your recollection of inane facts is superb.

Face it, it is time to leave the Science to the 120 year olds.

:P I was being serious.

(now watch this get modded funny too?)

While your description is the best I've seen so far in this thread, you still only list dimensions for a two-dimensional object.

I commend you, AC, for being both the most informative, and yet almost entirely useless.

I support a citizen's right to shoot. (I live in the U.S., not that that's relevant)

Currently on a boardwalk somewhere in England, Hack-a-Day posted this link last week: http://www.lushprojects.com/lunarlander/>http://www.lushprojects.com/lunarlander/

I assumed the summary meant WIRELESS Broadband data plans? The mention of "broadband data cap", I thought, indicated this. Netbooks, after all, are intended to be portable, on the go machines; many of which bundle data plans for subsidizing costs on the computer itself.
