Content filtering is mandatory in K12 schools and can be fairly expensive. Hardware in schools take a beating and need more frequent replacements. If you think network equipment is bulletproof do some work for a school. You can grill food on some of their routers. If it were my decision, there would be 10G network to all public schools and companies would be allowed to bid to be providers using bandwidth branching from those hops. It would push down costs, create an open business model, increase bandwidth to all areas of cities, and move schools closer to were they need to be technologically.

So not true. If you are part of the USA "Prison Industrial Complex" you are exempt.

It is all about taking EP to another level.

Oh look. There is a nut-job named Bakr on that side of the world too.

FTW!

On the flip side of that, anything with BoringSSL will not be restricted from exporting outside of the U.S. /snark

I think OpenSSL should be broken up into pieces that work together so different parts can be worked on separately. Needless to say I think the OpenBSD group has the better, more achievable for open source, path for the future of the library. I'm not a hater of all things Google; but, I don't think "in-house" code is a good choice for the GNU parts of Linux/BSDs

College is about banks making money on government backed loans? Who'da thunk.

I was told a house without wheels was a step up. Are you suggesting there is something wrong with living in a UPS cardboard box?

Why do I think "narrow and prescribed uses" does not mean "find a lost hiker". It has been my experience that plenty of aircraft are in the sky when there is a wildfire. I don't see why the police department would need to add more.

Having multiple connection points for things like MPTCP, to "complicate your traffic", is a good thing though.

We understood that the Commerce Clause authorized Congress to construct interstate highways. The web is the interstate highway of the 21st century and the Commerce Clause authorizes Congress to invest in a functioning web for all U.S citizens just as much as it did for highways. The FCC doesn't have a vote.

It is of the most fundamental importance that the United States should think in big pieces, should think together, should think ultimately as a whole.

I guess if you want to know absolutely everything you possibly can about the consumer you funnel there classwork to your data collectors too. "You want a piece of candy", is much more effective if you know what type of candy the kids like.

Ironically all of those companies moved plants over seas. Now the owners of the plants have displaced them with copies of the products that made the original companies big. Who needs high priced suits in New York or San Josey? That is why there is so much crying about patent infringement. Once the patents are up, the people you used to bypass giving someone a living wage take over and kick you out.

They needed to give each other the money they made selling off DEC IP to each others future patent troll companies before the left.

1) Direct the company to buy IP from another company.
2) Sell the IP off to patent trolls.
3) Leave with a golden parachute to run the patent troll company.
4) Watch the people left behind loose their jobs.
