"-- determined to keep down costs for airline customers --" Was the whistleblower still getting bonuses or was the writer? As if the motivation were clear and just that...

Apples and oranges. Getting rid of neutrality would cement monopolies since it would cost providers of content more to ensure efficient forwarding of their traffic - making startups much more costly/out of reach. This argument isnt key, its irrelevant to the issue of whether or not ISPs charge to optimize ALL services vs. the ones who pay. Regardless, if this idea really is "key" to you personally, then you should definitely support neutrality.

Why does the fella who started Tumblr think hes suddenly part of the IEEE? We need new ports and cables to support this new fangled standard. (Duh.) Old cables are backwards compatible (score!) but dont work the same as the new (double duh!) And not to be hypocritical here by thinking my tiny slice of the world is authoritative but I use HDMI over USB-C daily.

Bernie just said you should get out of politics if youre a coward, he didnt say you had to be anonymous, Mr. Brock. We see everything.

But when you KNOW a thing thats classified and type it INTO a brand NEW EMAIL - whats that? Marked? Its *born* classified.

Thats terrible. Think "when all fuel has nitro, her job as racecar driving SoS made her game dangerous the moment she built her own racetrack" Still terrible. If you KNOW a thing thats classified and type it into a brand new email, is that classified? This is a simple question, and the answer to this whole case...on the surface. But there is so much more: http://thehill.com/blogs/ballo...

When are we going to get bans on data caps? Does the Obama Administration and FCC realize that the very idea of a cap belies the nature of a service which indicates how much data per second they are selling you? Shouldnt my 100 megabits per second be capped at no less than 2,592,000,000,000 bits, a hundred for every second in a 30 day month?

I replied to one of these "YouTube is not a news source" groupie for HRC and it really dawned on me how important the collection, aggregation and the ability to compare and contrast news stories is - really critical if one wants to be well informed at a time when bias and outright lies are being propagated throughout the media.

Ever notice we foil some real doozies? Probably a few kinks to work out.

is that a stat boost in chrony trigger or smth?

that and a real firewall wouldnt intermittently "disappear"

While we are all assuming this is a hatchet job to get Bernie locked out, these "intermittent firewall drops" could, in fact, be Hillary having arranged for her people to be able to spy on him - but nobody is mentioning that in the news articles. P.S. 15 years as a network engineer and i still dont know why the press uses the term firewall so loosely. If it was sincerely a layer 3/4 security device, there would be lots of evidence as to exactly what happened - unless logging were disabled. I think in this case they are calling security mechanisms within their db or reporting app a "firewall" war were declared!!

but as a network engineer, this snippet is painful to read. Inaccurate to say the very least.

Yeah the tech is there - an ASIC designed for identifying and dropping suspect traffic (or already marked traffic) on carrier networks is the obvious part. Whats needed is a protocol that can be implemented at layer 3/4 to allow global distribution networks to notify each other and perform wire-speed inspections/drops. Heck, an existing protocol like QoS marking at layer 2 or 3 could be partially leveraged to avoid changes to (already) standardized headers but im sure im about to be told why thats impossible or unsuitable. Someone makes this stuff lavaboy is talking about (or companies like Prolexic just clean your crap for you in real time) but all charge through the roof for it and THATS why we dont have the solution. Freakin a.
