Honestly, throttling when the network is overloaded is perfectly fine to me. It's throttling 24/7 once you pass a threshold that is a problem to me.

Whether they should have some sort of access priority (if it's even technically available) when a First Responder etc is a different issue. This would likely be something only important during large-scale emergencies when networks get overloaded, though may not be technically practical, could be looked into.

It was also mentioned on NPR that one of the patients with the drug-immune TB in India actually checked themselves out of the hospital and they can't find them.

Here's to you our new "Patient Zero"

They actually discussed this on NPR earlier. When applying to enter the country, he told them about his military history and asked if it would be ok. Telling Iran that you were formerly in the US army is not the kind of thing you would do if you were an actual spy.

Not to say entering Iran and telling them you used to be in the military is a good idea.

"Google denies that its employees deleted documents or that it instructed them to work from home in order to impede the investigation."

Only evil corporations have their employees work from home...

And everyone knows the damning evidence wasn't there because they deleted it.

If there were real consequences this might matter

You're thinking of Doctor Who

Sadly, Doctor Who was not a documentary. Despite him being referred to as "the doctor" he is not representative of other doctors

I think it's worth mentioning that on twitter "trending" isn't just a measure of numbers. It's also a large part a measure of proportional increase. This means it's easier to get a trending topic on something that hasn't been talked about much before with a wierd hashtag.

This is a blog discussing how a tag for a gaming tournament became a trending topic.

While I do believe that some careers should probably dissect animals (surgeons, veterinarians) I don't see the point in requiring this for everyone. I am just fine with my pharmacist not having cut open dead animals.

While I agree with the first post, having a picture isn't quite the same as hearing its death-scream. Now if opening its package let out a recording of its death-squeal, that might turn some people off from pork... ...or just attract dogs.

...on our doomsday device to stop the earth's core from spinning.

Small scale tests first before we build the full-size model.

I would second this, but for the reason that I believe he is one of the few politicians that actually seem to follow what's going on in the world of computers and software

Personally, if I want to play tennis or go bowling, I go out and play tennis or go bowling

If you meant the zombie-apocalypse where zombie-computers take down the internet then I choose

For the undead kind I'm primarily enlightened by World War Z

...I can't tell which are male or female either.

I think summary need to be clarified.

The FCC is beginning a test Monday that will give public access to a database to be used to identify frequency bands available. This database will be used to determine what frequencies are available when the 'white spaces' go public.

It was most obvious at the end of the BBC article when she mentions how she could cause/cease the pain by turning the TV on and off....

It doesn't take a genius to realize the TV doesn't *broadcast* EM waves...except for light. And if you're allergic to light...you have bigger things to worry about than cell phones.
