Rewriting Rules on Delivery of the Internet
mathin writes "A recent NYTimes (free reg required) article states that, 'The Federal Communications Commission began writing new rules today that officials and industry experts said would profoundly alter both the way the Internet is delivered and used in homes and businesses.' Things under consideration: broad band over electrical wires and VoIP. A little thin on details, but interesting none the less."

Jesus Fucking Christ, has the Times pwned OSDN all these years, but they're only now kickstarting the partnership? That's like the 4th NYT article today. I mean, I <3 NY and all, but is the fucking paper that fucking good?
Fuck the Times.
Oh my fucking god, that's the funniest post I've ever read. You, sir, are puntastic.
of the NT and Win2k source code to me? :)
The North Vietnamese general in charge of the military campaign that finally drove the U.S. out of South Vietnam in 1975 credited a group led by Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry with helping him achieve victory.
In his 1985 memoir about the war, Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap wrote that if it weren't for organizations like Kerry's Vietnam Veterans Against the War, Hanoi would have surrendered to the U.S. - according to Fox News Channel war historian Oliver North.
That's why, he predicted on Tuesday, the Vietnam War issue "is going to blow up in Kerry's face."
"People are going to remember Gen. Giap saying if it weren't for these guys [Kerry's group], we would have lost," North told radio host Sean Hannity.
"The Vietnam Veterans Against the War encouraged people to desert, encouraged people to mutiny - some used what they wrote to justify fragging officers," noted the former Marine lieutenant colonel, who earned two purple hearts in Vietnam.
"John Kerry has blood of American soldiers on his hands," North said.
I know the FAQ says not to "complain" about submitted articles not being accepted, and this isn't a complaint as much as a question to satisfy my curiosity.
A little while ago, I submitted the very same story. It was rejected. Now I see this on the front page. This has happened twice before.
I suppose this has happened to others too...any ideas on why somebody's submission on the same topic is accepted over others'?
I'm new to Slashdot...how does one get to moderate posts? Do you have to be a member for a certain length of time to be able to do so?
