We've seen any numbers of articles over the last couple years concerning this subject. The only thing not often mentioned is lack of network monitoring, but given the rest of the foolishness going on I always figured that would be a given.

That's all I have to say.

Interesting that a thoughtful and informed comment has no response. Yours isn't the only orphan out there. But keep it up anyway.

Now it's politics and nothing but.

Yup.

The FCC has changed a lot from the time it used to be run by engineers to the time it became run by political appointees.

'nuff said.

As long as the feds stay out of regulating Community Colleges, which I know they can't and wouldn't spend a microsecond thinking about not, I would agree.

They would then ruin the best, and last, relatively cheap form of college education. And one that really does it well overall as well as per dollar paid and spent.

I'd be interested in some detail here. I've had several Android and Blackberry phones over the years and never had a problem.

Does anyone have specifics on which phones have problems?

Thanks.

Your right.

Only Samsung, Motorola, Alcatel, Sony, Philips, LG, Acer and a couple others.

That's most, isn't it?

I responded in the wrong place before, the following should have been here..

The FCC is not controlled by Congress. And the _engineers_ in charge of the commission were replaced by _appointees_ during the Bush administration.

Obama has done nothing to fix this problem. I won't comment on the motives of either president.

So no comments?

This is a bipartisan problem. Both sides are lobbied.

And you are a prime example of why the world is going to hell. People who think it's ok to get things wrong.

"I taught at a University in China for a year." followed later by "Chemical spills are so common, they don't even bother trying to sensor them in the press."

"Sensor"? And you taught at a university? Even China should be ashamed.

I haven't heard from anyone at work, from my friends, or anywhere on the net say "we should be more like them".

You are completely daft.

Interesting how these things show up or not depending on how they are handled.

OS9 was the unix like OS released by Motorola in 1979. Built to a tightly coupled OS to the Motorola 6809 processor. Great CPU (mostly 16 bit pretending to be 8) and great OS with a breakthrough version of BASIC that was called BASIC09 and was way beyond what you would expect. You didn't have to use GOTO. You had labels. And lots more.

I assumed Apple bought the name since it suddenly (from my limited perspective) disappeared from the original OS9 world.

And everyone that counts thinks OS9 is Apple.

And I understand.
