FCC To Hold First VoIP Hearings; Rules in 2004
securitas writes "The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will hold its first hearings on Internet telephony and VoIP regulation on Dec. 1 and plans to regulate VoIP by late 2004. A public comment period will follow the Dec. 1 meeting. Some say that it is overly ambitious to regulate VoIP by 2004, especially since FCC Commissioner Michael Powell does not have a strong reputation for clarifying complex issues - instead he has a reputation for confounding them. More at Internet.com and InternetWeek . FCC press release (PDF1|DOC1) and attached letter (PDF2|DOC2) to VoIP proponent Senator Ron Wyden, who sits on the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee."
You may be wondering why SCO salesmen are not answering your numerous calls while you try to order more SCO licenses. Well, we aren't answering the phones because we're too busy celebrating our newest business partner. Rather than explaining it myself, I'll let our formal press release do the talking. Take it away, Mr. Reuters...
LINDON, Utah, Sept. 8/PRNewswire - FirstCall/ -- The SCO Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: SCOX - News), the owner and licensor of the core UNIX operating system source code, today announced its second Fortune 500 clent for the SCO Linux IP license, the GNAA (Nasdaq: RHAT - News), developer of fine Slashdot trolls on irc.efnet.net #GNAA, also well-known for revolutionizing small business development with its "Step 2: ??????" profit model. The availability of the SCO Intellectual Property License for Linux affords Linux deployments to come into compliance with international law for the use of all 2.4 and future kernels. The run-time license permits the use of SCO's intellectual property, in binary form only, as contained in Linux distributions.
By purchasing a SCO Intellectual Property License, customers avoid infringement of SCO's intellectual property rights in Linux 2.4 and Linux 2.5 kernels and assure Darl financial security for the purchase of his second home. Because the SCO license authorizes run-time use only, customers also comply with the General Public License, under which Linux is distributed. Source may still be distributed under the terms of the GPL, however source distributors are held accountable for all violation of SCO's IP. Indemnification is provided for customers of runtime clients only. Read that twice, dirty hippy. You're not in the clear yet.
GNAA spokesperson penisbird said of the licensure, "coming into compliance affords us a new competitive advantage with the other Slashdot authors. By being in the right, we can thumb down our noses at not only the Windows users and the BSD-thieving Mac Users, but also the unwashed Linux hippies running stolen code on their parents' PCs." VP of anus enlargement goat-see added, "fr1st p0st? damn i miss. how do i next story?"
Mr. Darl McBride concurred with GNAA's analysis, adding "We soon hope to convince additional clients such as Trollklore and Cabal of Logged In Trolls of the benefits of licensing SCO's valuable IP. Also, I <3 GNAA bunny. (@.@)" JesuitX clarified the nature of the SCO and GNAA alliance, adding "We're more than just a licensing client. We're also going to be helping to bring these other potential licensors into compliance. We can break them in little by little as paying sublicensors. The alternative is pretty horrible. Our lawyers can take a reticent client from virgin to hello.jpg [figure 2] in under an hour, and believe me -- it is not pleasant." freetibet was recorded saying, "I read Slashdot just for GNAA posts".
Commander Taco was unavailable for comment, however Cowboy Kneel was said to ask for a print of [figure 2] for his basement apartment. Simoniker remained British and unable to spell "color," while Timothy responded by posting the same story six times, and Hemos reposted a seventh time, the submission differing only from his application of that damned Einstein icon.
If you have mod points and would like to support GNAA, please moderate this post up.

CARROLLTON -- A Chesterfield man was charged Wednesday with sexually abusing
a mare in Macoupin County, even as prosecutors in Greene County filed new
charges against him of aggravated cruelty to animals.
Horse owners from the two counties attended Wednesday's preliminary hearing
in Greene County Circuit Court for Kevin Eugene McAfee, whose 43rd birthday
also was Wednesday. A number of horse owners say they believe McAfee has been
sexually abusing their mares oversome 20 years.
Macoupin County State's Attorney Vince Moreth charged McAfee with one count
of sexual conduct with an animal, as well as criminal trespass to property and
criminal damage to property.
McAfee allegedly engaged in sexual misconduct with a mare belonging to Cory
Suttles of rural Chesterfield on March 30 of this year. The charges also allege
McAfee, on the same date, damaged a padlocked door of a freezer at Suttles'
residence in Chesterfield, with damages not exceeding $300, and criminally
trespassed on Suttles' land.
Glen Suttles is the father of Cory Suttles, and their property is adjacent to
each other. The elder Suttles said Wednesday that he and his wife, Nina, and
the rest of the concerned horse owners in the area were elated that McAfee
finally has been charged with sexual misconduct with an animal.
"I am glad not only for us but also for all the people's sakes that have been
putting up with things for 15 to 20 years that we could never fully explain,"
Glenn Suttles said.
Suttles said he had been hearing such rumors for years but that until the
death of Steve Barnes' mare last month in Greene County and McAfee's arrest for
criminal damage to property in the death of the mare, horse owners had never
gotten together to compare experiences.
"I had heard rumors for years, but you always hear stories, so I never wanted
to say anything without something that could be proven," Suttles said.
Suttles said his son telephoned him March 30 and told him he had found a bale
of hay on his property on fire and smoldering. Glenn Suttles went to help his
son, and while they were putting out the fire in the bale of hay, they found
a cigarette butt and then found the freezer broken into.
"We called Chesterfield Police Chief Bob Berrey, and he came out and
investigated thoroughly, took fingerprints," Suttles said. "We knew he and the
Sheriff's Department were seeking charges against (McAfee), but we were not to say
anything until the investigation was complete. We were told that McAfee
confessed to having sexual contact with the mare, and the charges were filed."
McAfee has remained in the Greene County Jail in Carrollton in lieu of
$75,000 bail since his arrest July 9 in the death of the mare belonging to Barnes,
of Rockbridge.
McAfee appeared Wednesday in Greene County Circuit Court for a preliminary
hearing, which was continued until 10 a.m. Aug. 18 to allow his newly
court-appointed attorney, Charles Theivagt, time to prepare. The first two
court-appointed attorneys cited conflicts of interest in representing the defendant.
Besides the charge of criminal damage to property in the death of Barnes'
mare, Dolly, Greene County State's Attorney Elliott Turpin's motion to add the
additional charge of aggravated cruelty to animals was accepted by Circuit Judge
James Day. The charges allege that McAfee tied the mare to a fence with a
strap in such a manner that it caused the horse to choke to death and that he
intentionally caused the death of a companion animal.
Barnes and horse owners throughout the rural Rockbridge and Chesterfield
communities recently began getting together to share their concerns and suspicions
about McAfee.
Almost 30 of the concerned horse owners met with a Telegraph reporter at the
home of Don Bollini shortly after McAfee's arrest. While some were not willing
to comment on the record for fear of retaliation by McAfee af
It might be BULLSHIT, but its still news.

Nothing to worry about here folks. Michael Powell favors the free enterprise in all cases. There is no way he would favor regulating VoIP. Just look at his work regarding media expansion. He favored the free market over government regulation despite widespread protest to his plans. There is no way he will support regulation.
As soon as the burly guard unshackled him he made his move. Exhaling a feminine "hmmph" he weakly slapped the guard. He was quickly taken to the ground, receiving a swift kick to the ribs before being restrained. As he was dragged to the solitary confinement cell he felt nothing but relief. "At least in solitary," he thought "I'll be safe." Unfortunately for Rob he had picked the wrong guard to mess with.
The next few days were uneventful. The time in his cell he spent evenly between sleeping, reading a "Perl for Dummies" book he had gotten from the book cart, and masturbating furiously. His self-flagellation was interrupted on the fourth day. The burly guard he had attacked earlier stepped into his cell. The gleam in the guards eye and the mean grin on his face made Rob's pecker quickly shrivel in his hand. "You fucked with the wrong man when you fucked with Michael Simms," said the guard. "The inmates here call me The Asshole for a reason. Now come with me, punk."
The guard led him down the hall to one of several empty shower stalls. He roughly threw Rob in the stall and locked the door. Rob was petrified. His mind raced as he imagined the myriad of different tortures that could be in store for him. His worst fears were confirmed when the guard returned. In his hands were a short black dress, black stilleto heels, and a curly blonde wig. "Strip down and put this on, bitch." Rob did as instructed and was pleased to notice that the dress fit well and the heels gave him a nice slimming effect. The burly guard admired the drag queen. "The GNAA is gonna love you!"
The guard left the shower stall, only to return minutes later. He opened the door and led 20 large black men into the stall. "Rob, meet the Gay Nigger Association of America. GNAA, meet Rob. I'm sure you all will get along fine." With that the guard slammed the shower door closed and walked away laughing.
The men approached Rob, backing him into a corner. The apparent leader stepped forward. "No matter what I'm gonna fuck that purdy lil' ass of yours. Now I can fuck it dry or you can lube it up for me." Rob knew he had no choice. He kneeled in front of the leader, who began to slap his face with his 10 black inches. Puss from syphilictic sores quickly covered Rob's cheeks. When the leader was sufficiently aroused he placed his throbbing cock up to Rob's lips. As soon as Rob opened his mouth the leader violently shoved his manhood to the back of Rob's throat and exclaimed "Swallow my shit you cracker bitch!" Rob gagged as he was violently face fucked.
Just when he was about to pass out the leader pulled out, turned him around and shoved his cock into Rob's ass. Rob began to scream in agony but his cries were quickly muffled by one of the other gang member's cocks. They rode him like that for the better part of an hour. When one man finished another quickly took his place. Just as Rob was getting used to the throbbing pain in his anus the men stopped. One man lay down on the floor and Rob was told to get on top of him and take his dick inside him. Exhausted and humiliated, Rob had no will left to fight. As soon as he inserted the penis another man came up behind him and began to force his cock into Rob's already filled anus. Again his screams of agony were muffled, this time by a smelly black anus.
For another hour he was violated in this way. When the men were finished with him he couldn't walk and his mouth was filled with dingleberries and ass hairs. Before they all left the leader had some parting words for Rob: "Thanks for that sweet piece of ass, punk. We'll see you again tomorrow. Oh by the way, we all have AIDS." It was going to be a long ten years for Rob.
If we didn't have the safety regulations we have on cars today, CARS WOULD BE SAFER THAN THEY ARE NOW!
Without these standards, anyone who died in a car crash which could have been cheaply prevented would sue, and hte car companies would quickly make their cars as safe as possible.
Now, thanks to the government, they just have to comply with the crappy government standards, and get out of the suit-- because to provide a safer car would have been illegal (cause the standards are woefully out of date and pointless to begin with, yet prevent safer cars.)
All regulation does more harm than any possible good that can come from it. This is a law of physics-- you regulate soemthing from a central location (like congress) and you will never have enough bandwidth to keep your regulations up to date. Information theory mandates that all regulations from the government will do more damage than they can good.
Communism is an extreme proof of this situation.
Yeah, and you guys panned the ipod too: http://apple.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/10/23
